CHAPTER SEVEN

IF ONLY SHE KNEW, Spencer thought. ‘What are you doing for lunch?’ he said.

She blinked as if she found the swift subject change disorienting. ‘Nothing...I usually have something at my desk.’

‘Why don’t we have a working lunch in my office?’ he said. ‘I’ll get the kitchen to send up a tray.’

She gave him a guarded look. ‘Why can’t we go out or have it in the restaurant downstairs?’

Spencer knew what she was doing. She was trying to keep from being alone with him. He smiled to himself. He’d only agreed to her rules because he knew she needed time to get her head around being involved with him again. He hadn’t handled things well in the past but that wasn’t to say he couldn’t make up some ground. He found her company so stimulating. She was feisty and spirited, passionate and yet determined not to show it. ‘I thought you might find the press a bit intrusive,’ he said. ‘They’ll be out in packs looking for a confirmation about our relationship.’

She chewed at her lower lip, pulling it almost the whole way into her mouth before releasing it. ‘Fine. Your office it is. What time?’

He watched as the blood returned to her lips in a pink tide. His lips tingled at the memory of how those full soft lips felt against his own. She had a bee-stung curve to her mouth, a lush youthful bow that never failed to draw his gaze. ‘Shall we say one?’

‘Fine.’ She gave a brisk nod and marched back behind her desk. He got the feeling she was using it as a barricade. She stood behind it with her hands braced on the back of her office chair. ‘Will that be all?’

He searched her gaze for any trace of the girl he had met in London, the girl whose smile had tugged on something in his chest. Was he crazy to play such a dangerous game with her? He liked risks but only the ones he could count on cashing in.

She wasn’t that guileless girl with the shy smile anyanmore. She was a cool-headed businesswoman who had an agenda—a goal she put before everything. She wanted major share of The Harrington and was prepared to fight hard and dirty for it.

He was confident he had her covered. How hard could it be? She had set up her silly little rules, which amused him more than anything. How long would she keep up the no-kissing thing? Her mouth was made for kissing. Never had he been with a woman who could kiss with as much enthusiasm and passion as she did.

But there were other ways to kiss. He remembered how her breasts had felt against his lips and tongue. The silky feel of her skin, the smooth satin of it as his stubble grazed it, often times leaving a mark. The thought of his body branding her as his triggered something deeply primal in him.

Then there was her neck, the creamy swan-like length of it, and her hands with their dainty, soft fingertips that could stir such a storm in his blood.
