CHAPTER TEN

A NEW GAME PLAN.

Pierce hadn’t been able to get Sierra’s words out of his head. As he walked Sabra to her door the words seemed to boom louder and louder in his brain.

“Thanks, Pierce. I had a wonderful time.”

Taking the key from her, he unlocked the door and handed the key back to her. “I’m glad.”

“You’ve been quiet since we left the party.” She slipped the key into her small clutch. “Problems at work?”

His hand played with a lock of curly black hair. “A few.”

“Any way I could help?”

He wound more strands around his fingers. “Yes. Turn yourself into an ugly toad so I’ll stop thinking about you.”

“You first.” She’d surprised herself by that admission. “This isn’t just going to disappear, is it?”

His arms circled her waist, drawing her closer. “Not from where I’m standing.”

She stared into his intense gaze. She had two choices: keep running or do what she’d wanted to do from almost the moment they met. Her hand splayed across his chest as he tugged her closer.

“You really are incredible. I can see why Charles is intimidated.”

She made a face. “Hopefully tonight will give him confidence and help him look at me as just a woman.”

“But a woman like no other.” Pierce’s mouth brushed against hers, once, twice, then settled. His tongue slipped into the warm interior of her mouth, tasted her sweetness, fed on both of their needs. The kiss deepened. Helplessly, she clung to him, giving back all that he asked for and more.

His head lifted, his mouth hovered bare inches over hers. “Have dinner with me tomorrow night?”

“I—”

His mouth took hers again. His hand swept the elegant length of her back, then settled over her hip. “I’ll pick you up at eight.”

The tip of her tongue grazed her upper lip. He made her hot all over. “You do know that you’re making it very difficult to decide. As long as I keep saying no, you’ll keep kissing me.” Her voice trembled. “You have a real talent for kissing.”

His breath shuddered out. “Say yes, and we’ll continue kissing.”

“Yes.”

His mouth covered hers again for a long, deep kiss that emptied her brain and made her body yearn for his. He nipped her earlobe. She whimpered. “You make me weak.”

“Sabra.” Her name was a ragged thread of sound. He leaned her against the door. It swung open. Isabella barked excitedly, then reared up to place her paws on Pierce. “Just when I was beginning to like you.”

Sabra’s laugh was unsteady. “Another woman you’ve charmed.”

“I’ll see you at eight. I’ll make reservations at Antoine’s.”

“Sounds elegant.”

“It is.”

“Then I’ll be sure to wear something appropriate.”

“I just hope my heart can take it.” He kissed her on the cheek and pulled the plastic-wrapped sandwich from the pocket of his jacket and handed it to Sabra. “Night. Night, Isabella, and enjoy.”

He was at the door when Sabra asked, “I won’t see you for breakfast?”

Disappointment crossed his face. “Afraid not. I have appointments all day tomorrow. The first one is on the golf course at seven.
