When Maddie entered the dining room for breakfast the next morning, the first person she saw was
Jack. Heat that had nothing to do with the bright sunshine streaming through the floor-to-ceiling
windows rippled through her. Their gazes locked and a kaleidoscope of images of last night flashed
through her mind. Jack buried deep inside her. Over her. Under her. Making love in the shower. His
soapy hands relentless, everywhere. Her hands slapped against the tiles, bending over to take him
deeper. The warm water rushing over them. His dark head buried between her thighs. Feeding each
other chocolates. Laughing. Sharing stories. Touching. Fal ing asleep in each other’s arms. Her
waking early. Watching him sleep while she donned her robe and gathered her belongings. Returning
to her own room. Feeling its emptiness. Wishing her time with Jack wasn’t over. Knowing it was.
Right. Because today it was back to business and tomorrow back to work. She needed to review
her pages of notes and write her report this evening so it was ready for Gavin tomorrow. A report that
she knew Jack wouldn’t like, which surely shouldn’t matter—their two-nighter was now
official y over. But to her consternation, she realized it did matter. A lot.
She yanked her attention from Jack then purposely set her purse and leather portfolio on a table at
the opposite end of the dining room from him, in a corner where she could observe the Java Heaven
staff’s interactions. After helping herself to fluffy scrambled eggs, a blueberry muffin stil warm
from the oven, and a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice from the buffet, she sat and opened her
portfolio. And studiously kept her gaze on her notes and off Jack.
She was working on her second cup of tea and had just jotted down an observation when a shadow
fel across the table. Her heart jumped because even before she looked up, she knew it was Jack.
She raised her head and looked into his compel ing blue eyes. He was dressed casual y in tan
khakis and a yel ow polo shirt. His dark hair was slightly rumpled, as if he’d raked his hands
through it. Her fingers itched with the sudden overwhelming desire to glide through those thick strands
that she knew felt like raw silk.
“May I join you?†he asked.
No. Please go away. I’m terrified that I’m not a good enough actress to pretend
nothing’s happened between us. That I feel nothing for you. “Of course,†she replied in
her best businesslike, neutral tone. She closed her portfolio and picked up her teacup, more to give
her hands something to do than because she wanted a sip.
“Your breakfast was good?†he asked after he’d settled himself in the chair opposite
hers.
“Yes. Yours?â€
“Very good.†He set his hands on the table and linked his fingers. He had real y nice hands.
Large and strong. Capable and wickedly clever. There wasn’t a centimeter of her body they
hadn’t explored.
“You were gone when I woke up,†he said quietly, his gaze steady on hers.
Oh, God. This was going to be so much harder than she’d ever imagined. Why did something
