ONE MINUTE HE’D been making eggs, the picture of domesticity, and the next he had her body purring with need, asking her to throw away her career for wild leave-your-control-at-the-door sex.

Deep down Maggie knew the career risk was an excuse. Yes, having sex with an interview subject was unprofessional, but once she finished interviewing Hunter, the lines blurred. Even then, fear would linger, holding her back. If she went to bed with him again, he’d claim control of her body, bringing her sexual fantasies to life. Part of her wanted that. Desperately. But she wasn’t sure she was ready. If the panic she’d felt Saturday night had taught her anything, it was that letting a man take charge involved trust. And she wasn’t sure she could trust the injured Ranger standing in front of her.

Hunter cupped her jaw with his hand, his thumb stroking her cheek, forcing her to meet his gaze. “Say yes, Maggie.”

“I’ll think about it.” It was the best she could do.

Smiling, he released her and went back to cooking. “Don’t think too long. I’m not here forever.”

No, he wasn’t. This might be her only chance to make her fantasies come true. She clenched her thighs. Work. She had to work before they could play. “But first I want an interview. A real one.”

“Okay.” He opened a cabinet. “Where are your plates?”

“Above the dishwasher.” She hesitated. She had to know, before this thing between them went any further, didn’t she? “There’s something else.”

“Shoot.”

Who’s Sierra? The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she remained silent. He was offering her a chance to be a wild, sexy woman at night and to focus on her work during the day. Part of her wanted to push away her reservations and say yes. Part of her wanted to pretend she’d never overheard his conversation. Could she do that? Bury her head in the sand for a few days? Sierra could be a cousin or family friend.

Or she could be his girlfriend, and mentioning her name would end the fantasy before it had even begun.

“Maggie?” he prompted.

“It’s nothing.” When they’d first met, he’d told her and Olivia that he was unmarried. She would have to take him at his word. If going to bed with him meant trusting him, it had to start here and now. “Just that I like my eggs cooked through.”

SEVEN HOURS LATER, Maggie collapsed onto a kitchen chair, exhausted. She’d conducted dozens of interviews, but none like this one. He’d answered all of her prepared questions except the one she was burning to ask.

How do you plan to blow my fantasies out of the water?

She had a feeling he knew that question stood front and center in her mind. His gaze fell to her lips when she spoke, drifting farther south on more than one occasion. Not that she’d behaved much better. She’d spent the entire interview undressing him with her eyes, which had left parts of her aching and wanting. Very professional.
