Sam knew the instant the feeling grabbed her. She’d stopped that incessant braying to the Almighty and opened her arms and tilted her head back in sublime satisfaction. Her ponytail stood on end, whipped by the night breeze as she hurtled happily to the ground, and he could see her grin from here. Illogical pride swamped him. Lou appeared to be an natural-born thrill-seeker.

That, or just certifiably crazy. What on earth had possessed her to kiss him like that? Better still, why had he responded? He’d been practically bowled over from the impact of her ardent behavior. Geez, when she’d grabbed his shirt and dragged him to her… Sam couldn’t recall ever being so aroused.

And truthfully, there hadn’t been a moment’s hesitation as far as his body had been concerned. As soon as it had recognized her intent, he’d had his lips parted and his tongue ready, as though kissing Lou were as natural as breathing. Worse, he feared should they do it anymore, it would become as necessary as that. The thought didn’t bode well for the remainder of this trip.

Lou’s joyous whoop drew his attention and Sam instantly hurried to her side.

Her eyes sparkled, her body vibrated excitement. “That was amazing! I wanna do it again! Can I go again? My Lord, that was the most exhilarating, thrilling…” She shrugged, at a loss for words. But Sam knew how she felt. “At first I was utterly terrified because I hadn’t expected to fall so fast, but—” She sighed and her gaze turned inward. “—then I just became the fall and…and I was flying and…it was wonderful.”

He couldn’t have put it more eloquently himself. Lou’s cheeks were flushed with excitement, her hair delightfully mussed and windblown. Her sweet lips were curved into a radiant smile, one that tugged at something deep inside him.

Warning bells in his head, signaling imminent danger. This woman enchanted him beyond reason and past good sense. He chanced another glance at her and some unnamed emotion seized in his chest.

It suddenly occurred to Sam that resisting her would most likely be an effort in futility.

But he had to try nonetheless.

After all, this was Lou’s adventure. Nothing more. When it ended, what would she do? Say to hell with her fortune, to her father and her heritage? Sam inwardly humphed. Not likely.

Though he hated to admit it, most likely she’d go back to Atlanta and do her father’s bidding. She’d marry Chat—a red rage settled in his brain at the thought, but Sam forced it away. She’d secure the merger and go on with her merry life, thrilled that she’d taken a couple of weeks in her life to do with what she pleased. She’d look back on this hiatus from her life for what it was—an adventure. And, regretfully, all adventures came to an end.

Given the way his heart kept trying to engage, Sam didn’t think he’d fare as easily were he to let himself go and truly enjoy this time with Lou.

Lou was special; he’d recognized that from the beginning.
