Alexi noted the headlights of a car spearing into his darkened room. He stood by the window as a sleek, upscale car pulled beside his work truck. Head bent, her coat gathered around her, a woman hurried toward his back porch.

Jessica! He walked to the living quarters door, opened it and a blast of cold air from the sunroom hit his bare torso.

He jerked open the exterior door and stared at the woman smiling up at him. “Hello, Marcella. Out late, aren’t you?”

Alexi frowned at the second car that had pulled alongside the road, the headlights shooting off into the rain.

“I’ve come to play,” Marcella whispered sexily, and lifted the resort’s basket, used by guests for wine and dinners along the beach.

Her raincoat gaped open to reveal that her body was nude, except for thigh-high black panty hose. With an alluring look, she nudged past him. On high heels, she picked her way over the heavy utility electric cord and rough board floor to the door of his living quarters.

Alexi stepped outside, slammed the door behind Marcella and ran for the car parked on the road. Through the veil of rain, he’d seen Jessica’s face, framed by the dashboard’s light. He jerked open the passenger door and slid inside just as Jessica prepared to put the car in gear.

Alexi switched off the key and pulled it from the ignition. “This isn’t what you think,” he stated unevenly, because he read Jessica’s wounded expression too easily. “I am not having an affair with her.”

“You’re in demand. I’ll say that for you. Is Heather arriving, too?” Her words were cutting and cold, and she was shaking, her arms wrapped around herself.

Alexi picked up the cell phone she’d been using and dialed Mikhail’s personal number. His cousin wouldn’t be happy, but neither was he. “You have a guest who has strayed onto my premises—yes, Marcella. Come get her. I will be waiting in another car. Thank you.”

Jessica stared out into the night as if she were disinterested, but Alexi noted the quick trembling of her lips. “I did not invite her,” he said.

Her flat “Sure” was disbelieving.

“I don’t lie. And when I say Heather never touched what is inside me, I mean it. It took an irritating, fascinating sexy redhead to do that.” He noted the packed bags in the back seat. “You came to stay with me.”

“No. With Willow. Or at the resort. Definitely not with you,” she answered loftily.

“Liar.” Alexi slid his hands beneath Jessica’s body and lifted her from the driver’s seat onto his lap. “I’m cold, you know.”

Jessica sat very straight and looked out at the rain. “That is not my problem. I’m sorry that I irritate you, but the feeling is mutual. You like to make my life difficult. You revel in—”

“But you’re so warm and soft and sweet.” He couldn’t resist teasing Jessica as she sat so straight on his lap. Would she leave now?

“You’re so full of it. You’d better get in there. Your girlfriend is waiting.
