CHAPTER SIX

‘WHATEVER YOU WANT...wherever you want...’

Daisy felt her body still, her mind snagging on an image of Rollo pulling off his shirt, his green eyes softening as he drew her closer to the hard contours of his chest—

The floor tilted and it was as though she was free-falling. The rush of desire and longing was so intense that she could hardly stand.

She wanted him.

But even as she acknowledged the truth of that statement she felt the sharp tug of the parachute pulling her back.

But what would happen if she gave in to that craving?

‘No.’ Stumbling backwards, she shook her head, her heart beating faster. ‘We can’t. We shouldn’t. It’s not right.’

Rollo stared at her in silence, the sudden distance in her voice jarring his senses. What was she talking about? Can’t. Shouldn’t. Not right.

His confusion hardened into irritation. ‘I fail to see why,’ he said slowly. ‘We’re both adults who want to have sex.’

Daisy flinched, but held his gaze. He was right. On both counts. But evidently two rights made a wrong, for—whatever her body might be telling her to the contrary—she knew it would be a disaster if they ended up in bed together. And Rollo knew it as well as she did. He just didn’t like being told so.

She pushed against his chest. ‘That may be reason enough for you. But there’s a little more to it for me than just lust and being over the age of consent.’

‘Like what? Love and romance?’

The sudden chill in his eyes as much as the harshness in his voice made her breath stutter in her throat.

‘I’m a businessman—not a fourteen-year-old girl. We are getting married though. Won’t that do?’

She jerked her hands away, the pulse at the base of her neck beating wildly. She could feel his hostility, see it in the set of his shoulders, but she didn’t care. Nothing mattered except wiping that sneer off his irritatingly handsome face.

‘It might have done if I wanted to have sex with you. But I don’t.’

He shook his head, his lip curling into a sneer. ‘So you’re still a liar. Only now you’re a tease, as well!’

Her fingernails cut into the palms of her hands. ‘And you’re back to calling me names.’

His eyes narrowed. ‘I’ll stop calling you names when you stop deserving them. I think that’s fair, don’t you?’

She felt anger—dark and fast—swirl and rush over her like floodwater. It was true, she had wanted him in the heat of the moment—she still did, judging by the pulsing ache in her pelvis. But his conceited assumption that she would fall at his feet, or rather into his bed, rankled with her.

‘I don’t care what you think.’ She glowered at him. ‘It was only a kiss. And just because I kiss a man it doesn’t mean I automatically want to have sex with him.’ Her hands curled into small, tight fists. ‘Especially when the only reason I’m kissing him is for my job.’

He didn’t reply at once—just stared at her in silence, his face cold and set like a bronze mask.
