”What are you doing out here?” Jackson stood in the doorway of Sunni’s greenhouse and watched her snip at a large potted rose bush at the end of her worktable with a pair of silver garden shears. Around and above her hung baskets of roses in a dozen different colors. They were pretty and smelled good, but he knew for a fact that nothing and no one smelled better than Sunni Blais.

He knew because he’d been sleeping with her right under his nose for two nights and her exotic scent had been permanently burned into his memory.

“What’s going on, Sis? You’ve been quiet all evening. You didn’t say two words at the kitchen table. What’s the matter, you don’t like steak?”

“It was very good.”

“Wine too dry? Next time I go shopping, want to come along?”

She kept working with her back to him, the scissors making fast little snipping noises. Something was definitely bothering her, and Jackson intended to find out what it was. If she was still angry with him for refusing to move out, they were going to have to come to some kind of an understanding, because he wasn’t going to gamble with her life a second time.

She turned, her face as serious as he’d ever seen it. She had on a slippery silk dress—another super-soft nut buster. It was open at the neck and short sleeved—a garden party of colors on a white background. Shorter than her work skirts, it showed off more leg above the knees than her father would have approved of.

And while they sat across from each other at the table, he’d kept wondering what color her panties were, or if they covered her perfect backside. His lusty thoughts had turned him stone hard and he’d stayed that way throughout dinner.

He was still hard an hour later.

“You didn’t need to buy groceries.”

“The coffee supply was getting low. You know me and my morning coffee. Your juice, too. And with us moving in—”

“This isn’t going to work.”

“Sure it will, Sis. Something will open up with the case before long.”

“That’s not what I’m talking about and you know it.”

That look said it all. They’d been dancing all night—side-stepping each other in the kitchen, trying to clean up the table and dirty dishes without touching each other. She’d caught him staring at her more than once, and he’d caught her doing the same.

The truth was, he wanted to get it on with her and she knew it. And just maybe she wanted to get it on with him, too. He had mixed emotions about that. She was the boss’s daughter, and for both their sakes he’d hoped that his hard-on disgusted her. That if he got too close, she’d
