SEAN HAD TO GET OUT of here, now, while—as the old movies said—the getting was good. Judging by the flash of anger in Annie’s pretty blue eyes, the “getting” might not be good in a few more moments. Because she looked to be building up a head of steam to tell him off. Call him a tease—or worse.

It was his own fault.

Although he’d intended tonight to be strictly about getting the information he needed, and getting an Annie fix to last him until their trip tomorrow, he’d found himself heading down a very dangerous path with her. One that saw them both veer off the main road of slow, casual friendship they should be on. And completely in sexual desire territory.

What kind of lackwit would ask her questions about what she wore to bed, and how big her bed was?

If he actually planned to do something about it, that’d be one thing. But he didn’t. He’d promised her a third date. And tonight—despite how much he’d like to bend the rules and call it one—didn’t count.

Besides, Sean was enjoying this new relationship, the strangeness of being with a woman without the pressures of expectation. He still didn’t want to rush things. Though, if he didn’t get out of here—now—he was not only going to rush things, he was going to set a new land record for getting a woman naked. Then another one for being inside her before either one of them could even think the words “we shouldn’t,” much less actually say them.

He glanced at his watch, noting now long they’d been talking. It was nearly eleven. They’d been completely lost to time, separated from the world outside. “We should go. It’s getting pretty late. We’ve got a long day ahead of us tomorrow.”

Staring at him, her eyes widened in shock, Annie collapsed back in her chair.

Don’t. Please don’t. If she said it—if she put the words out there between them, words like, “Why the hell aren’t you tearing my clothes off by now?”—he’d lose all control. He’d have to have her right here in her place of business—a day care center, which should, for any single man, be about as erotic as a convent. But which, at this moment, would serve as well as a five-star hotel with a turned-down, silk-sheeted bed.

Finally, after a long, silent moment, she gave a brief nod and rose. If her chair flew back under her desk with a little more force than he’d expected, he wasn’t going to call her on it. Or ask her what was wrong.

He knew what was wrong. He was a damned idiot, that’s what was wrong. A fool who’d always insisted on opening his biggest present last on his birthday, who still ate every vegetable on his plate before allowing himself to savor the main course. Who’d always believed the best things in life were sweetened when you had to wait for them.

Waiting might heighten the excitement. But he wasn’t sure his heart could take any more excitement when it came to what was going to happen between him and Annie.
