CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Nate dropped the morning paper onto Miss Peabody’s desk. “Is Kitty Worthington here yet?”

“She’s waiting for you in the conference room, sir. Bunny and Bert are in with her.”

“Very well.” He glanced at his watch. Five minutes late. How had that happened? He hadn’t deviated from his morning routine, had he? There had been no distractions. Oh, who was he kidding? He’d been distracted ever since he held Bunny in his arms Saturday night.

For the briefest moment he remembered the feel of her delicate curves beneath his fingers. And her scent—soft vanilla—sweet, warm, alluring.

He cleared his throat and straightened his tie. There was no time for fond memories. As much as he’d wanted to taste her ruby red lips on Saturday night, he had to snap out of it. He needed to focus on work, the Cup and regaining control.

He couldn’t afford distracting thoughts of Bunny Love. A chuckle slipped from his lips. No sir. He’d learned that lesson the hard way when he’d sampled her herbal tea. Just think what might happen if he tasted anything more.

“Feeling all right?” Concern tinged his secretary’s voice.

He nodded, heading for the conference room as laughter sounded from inside. Excellent. Nothing better than a happy client. Perhaps Bunny had left her mumbo jumbo at home. Clients expected decorum, plain and simple. He put on a wide smile and pulled open the door. “Good mor-”

What in the hell had happened?

Soft chimes sounded in the background. Water trickled down the face of a stone sculpture, and a shocking shade of maroon covered the far conference room wall.

His eye twitched. Damn it. He pressed his finger to his lid and leveled a glare at Bunny. Her hopeful smile faded, anxiety flashing across her features. He had no doubt who was behind this atrocity, he could only wonder why.

“Still feeling the effect of the tea, Nathan?” Kitty sat at the head of the table, today’s safari suit some shade of brown. “Something wrong with your eye?”

He refocused on Bunny’s nervous face. “It’s not the tea.”

Bert cleared his throat and pulled out a chair—directly in front of a grouping of plants. Plants. “Have a seat, Nate. We were just going over the final plans with Kitty. Bunny’s done a superb job of pulling this together on such short notice. I left an agenda on your desk. Did you get it?”

“No, I haven’t been to my office yet this morning.”

Nate sank into the chair, never taking his eyes from Bunny’s pale gaze. “I wish to speak with you when we’re through.” Soft curves, or no soft curves, she’d gone too far.

She nodded, a nervous swallow working her throat. Nate felt some small satisfaction in watching her squirm. He’d tolerated enough of her whimsical influence on the firm and its employees. He glared at Bert, who barely concealed his smug amusement. It was time for decorum to return to McNulty Events.

“Now then.” Nate dug deep to muster his most charming tone. “Let’s review plans for the Cup. Shall we?”

Bunny wished the gray carpet would swallow her whole.
