That night, when they returned from the studio, Ian fully expected the evening to be more or less a carbon copy of the other two nights that had transpired so far. So when he saw her emerge from her room dressed in a little black dress, whose slightly flared skirt swirled and flirted along the tops of her thighs, Ian dropped the book he’d been reading. His favorite author’s new offering could wait. Business always came first.

Instinct had him on his feet, reaching for the jacket he’d slung over the back of the easy chair. He was right behind her as she made her way to the foyer. “Where are you going?”

Dakota checked the contents of her small purse, then snapped it shut. Taking the black, three-quarter-length coat off the coatrack, she began to slip it on. Her answer was a single word. “Out.”

Ingrained habit had him moving behind her in order to help her on with the coat. The exchange, he thought, sounded like one that took place inside of many homes, usually between a parent and a swiftly exiting teenager. Except that they were neither. “Where ‘out’?”

“Out,” she repeated. It had been years since she’d been subjected to inquisitions as she tried to make her getaway. Her mother had been lenient, but her father had been relentless. She turned to look at Ian. “If you must know, I’m going club hopping with MacKenzie.” She reached for the doorknob. “Don’t wait up.”

But he was right there with her, throwing on his coat, shadowing her footsteps. “I won’t have to.”

She stopped hurrying. Suddenly there no longer was a need to. “I need to unwind.”

“I won’t get in your way.”

He already was in her way. He was constantly in her way. And he was the reason she needed to unwind in the first place.

“The hell you won’t.”

But even as she said it, she knew there was no way around it. Apparently no matter what she said, her dark warrior was coming along.
