i’m packed and ready two hours later when Gunner strides through the front door, casually dressed in a loose white shirt and tan slacks. He’s on the phone, radiating power and impatience as he speaks in a terse tone.

I’m sitting on the bottom step of the staircase. Sansa is curled up in my lap, dozing off and on.

The tension in Gunner’s face seems to soften when his gaze lands on us. As he walks over, Sansa flicks her tail and starts purring shamelessly. He strokes her head while gazing down at me with an approving glint in his eyes. I’m wearing one of the outfits he bought me, a flirty yellow sundress that shows off my bare shoulders and legs.

“I’ll be out of town and unavailable until Monday,” he grits into the phone. “I expect the matter to be resolved before I return. No fucking excuses.” He ends the call and unclenches his jaw, then leans down to press his lips to my forehead. “Sorry about that. We’re having some delays with the expansion project.”

I feel a pang of guilt. “Maybe it’s not a good time for you to⁠—”

He silences me with a hard kiss, his tongue sweeping inside to tangle with mine. As I let out a throaty moan, he threads his fingers through my hair and whispers against my mouth, “I’ve been dying to get you all to myself this weekend. Wild fucking horses couldn’t stop me from boarding that plane with you.”

My stomach flips at his words. “I’m ready whenever you are.”

He kisses me again. “Let’s go.”

We say our goodbyes to everyone and head out the door. While Trace loads our luggage into the car, I slide into the backseat. Gunner climbs in beside me, his hard muscular thigh pressing against mine. The heat radiating from his body burns through my dress and tightens my nipples. I don’t know where we’re going, but when we get there I’m jumping his bones.

What can I say? I’m addicted.

As we set off for the airport, Gunner reaches for my hand, lacing our fingers together on his thigh.

I give him a coy smile. “You’re a man of many secrets, Mr. Ransom. When did you plan this surprise getaway?”

“Probably the night I met you.”

I choke out a laugh. “Come again?”

“Maybe not that night, but shortly after.” He smiles enigmatically, watching my eyes to gauge my reaction to his words. I can’t tell if he’s serious or not, but my heart beats faster just the same.

“Leaving yesterday would have given us more time together, of course. But I didn’t want you to miss class.” Keeping his eyes on mine, he brings our joined hands to his mouth and brushes his lips across my knuckles, sending little tingles down my spine.

“Did you like the red dress?” he murmurs.

“Are you kidding? It’s absolutely stunning,” I gush breathlessly. “I can’t believe you had a dress made for me! A Zuhair Murad dress!”

He chuckles. “It never hurts to have famous friends.”

“I bet,” I say with a grin. “I love everything you bought me, including the sexy lingerie.
