Elise frowned at the swift knock at her door. She glanced at the clock. Ten o’clock. She’d washed her face, pulled on an oversized T-shirt that reached her mid-thigh and was just getting ready to climb into bed. It had to be Colt.

After she’d finished up with Nan, she heard Colt still talking with his brothers, so instead of intruding, she decided to head home. Now he shows up two hours later. Who knew he was such a talker? Then again, he could’ve been waylaid by May. Her heart sank at the thought. But he’d sounded so adamant when he’d said he was a one-woman man, she reminded herself. The memory of his steely tone calmed her nerves. She believed him.

Great, instead of a sophisticated Elise Hamilton, he would get to see a woman who looked more like a teenager with her hair down, no makeup on, sporting an old Hard Rock Café T-shirt and bare feet.

As she headed for the door, her chest tightening, she thought in defiance, Maybe that’s exactly what he needs to see. Me at my plain Jane-est. Second best to May, my ass!

Feeling rebellious, yet very unsexy, Elise opened the door.

Colt stood outside, one hand on the doorjamb, waiting.

His cowboy hat hid his face in shadows from the bright parking lot lights. All she saw was his strong jaw with that muscle tic and her heart leapt. When he tilted his head and the light filtered across his face, the sight of his glittering gaze raking her body from the top of her head to the tips of her toes, then settling on the peaks of her nipples jutting against the soft cotton fabric, took her breath away.

Damn his smoldering gaze, as if he knew she wore no underwear beneath her shirt. And double damn her traitorous body for reacting instantaneously to his black cowboy shirt and faded jeans covering his tall muscular frame. The visual stimulation coupled with his intoxicating male scent and potent, seductive charisma, made her heartbeat roar in her ears.

“You left without sayin’ goodbye, darlin’,” was all he said, but his tense stance and the distinct muscle jumping in his jaw spoke volumes.

No way would she let him know how much the whole Bess thing had bothered her. Colt had never said anything about commitment, had even ignored her flippant statement about them not being a couple.

He walked inside and shut the door behind him, his look predatory as he advanced on her in long strides.

She answered, her heart racing, “You were busy talking to your brothers. I figured you had a lot of catching up to do.”

Colt pulled his hat off and tossed it on the kitchen table as he continued to stalk her across her living room, his tone possessive, intense, “I had plans, Lise, things I wanted to do…” His voice dropped to a seductive rumble. “To you.”

Right when he finished speaking, the backs of her knees bumped into her Papasan chair and Elise lost her balance, flopping into its deep, circular cushion.
