Chapter 10

Beau indicated Kinley should precede him up the steps, his fingers still tingling from sliding the rings on their fingers. The way she’d looked at him as he did it made his heart thump against his chest. Playacting. He was only playacting being married to her.

Daniel was behind him with a very sour look on his face.

Playacting or not, she was something in that high-class getup she’d chosen. The DEA undercover gurus had tried to pick something out for her, but Kinley had done a damn fine job on her own. He paused on the stairs and Daniel slammed into him, but his gaze was riveted to the tan sandal with the blocked heel. The shoe was elegant, expensive, leather and handmade, and it encased a sweetly feminine foot whose arched lines extended up a delicate ankle, a silken calf to the hem of a cream-colored dress with black diamond patterns on it. It was wrapped around a set of the most dangerous curves he’d ever seen and tied right under the bodice molded to her body. His fingers itched to see if that one flimsy string would bring the whole cool, collected facade crashing down with the fabric. Before she’d gotten on the plane he noticed the gold necklace nestled in the hint of her delectable cleavage. She looked nothing like the no-nonsense special agent.

No, with her richly colored hair swept up under the elegant, broad-brimmed, rakishly angled white Panama hat and a pair of sleek sunglasses, she looked like she was born to a privileged and pampered lifestyle. Silken auburn strands drifted down, caught in the slight breeze blowing across the tarmac and brushing the nape of her neck, telling him that he was in way more trouble than he had bargained for.

Damn.

Kryptonite.

Hitting him where it hurt. All those cyclone curves and auburn hair.

“Could we, Jerrott?” Daniel groused.

Beau watched as that sweet backside wiggled into the plane. Beau turned and gave him a wide grin, and hopped the stairs into the plane two at a time, then ducked inside, nodding to the pilot as he did.

The older man just smiled and tipped his fingers to his forehead. “Ready when you are.”

“We’re ready if Wescott would stop dawdling.”

“Me?” he sputtered, then narrowed his eyes when Beau smirked.

The pilot chuckled and closed the cockpit door as Beau made his way into the main section of the small private jet.

Kinley was seated in the central area, where there was a large round table surrounded by four cushy leather chairs. There were also seats along either side of the plane, situated next to the windows.

“Jeez, the DEA gets some nice toys,” Beau said.

“Confiscated from some drug lord,” Daniel said, settling into a seat next to Kinley.

Beau smiled at Kinley. She had both her arms and legs crossed, and didn’t look particularly happy with him. Of course, he was supposed to be the so-cool-frost-gathered-around-him Ryan Nadeau, the obscenely wealthy independent software developer.

Daniel rose to close the outside door and Beau leaned down.
