TWO DAYS LATER, Luke prowled his temporary office at his law firm’s satellite branch in downtown Tampa, his cell phone in hand. He came here whenever he was in town to touch base with their company’s sole long-distance partner and a handful of junior attorneys. The branch wasn’t big, but it was growing and they’d recently bought a penthouse-level suite at an office building downtown. Luke had met with his biggest client based nearby this morning. Now, though, he couldn’t focus on anything else until he talked to Tori.

He’d called her twice since he walked out of her place Friday night, but she hadn’t answered and hadn’t called him back. As he listened to her voice-mail announcement for the third time, he disconnected without leaving a message and wondered what the hell had happened between them. He’d had time to think about her suggestive proposal. Actually, he’d thought of little else since then.

And even though her offer had made him want her more than ever, he still didn’t see how she could have made the suggestion so lightly. Did she make it a habit to proposition men?

He didn’t believe that for a second, but damn. Her family would flip if they knew she was really taking this Valentine’s Day deadline seriously. And she was obviously looking for the kind of torrid affair her family worried about, ever since her Poconos disaster. At least he wasn’t a con man, unlike some guys she’d considered worth her time in the past. Who might she turn to next if Luke rejected her proposal?

He didn’t want to tell Tim about this—no way could he tell Tim about this—but her brother had texted him twice over the weekend to find out how Tori was doing. What could Luke say? Yeah, she’s fine, only her erotic photos have inspired her to troll for a man to help her act out her favorite scenes?

Or had that last part been a creative twist on her proposition? She had him in knots.

Pacing over to the window overlooking the street, he watched an afternoon rainstorm kick into high gear, spattering the glass and falling in sheets on the pavement below.

If he ever got a hold of her, he planned to find out how she thought a man and woman could go back to being just friends after—

His thoughts disintegrated as a car pulled into a parking space outside his building and deposited a woman in a trench coat. Even from five floors up, Luke noticed the hint of dark stocking on her legs as she emerged from the car. Seeing the rain-drenched woman in that distinctive garment reminded him of the sexy photos Tori had shown him. There’d been one of a drenched couple sharing a kiss in a cab.

And damn it. No wonder Tori’d had a tough time focusing on her work when the job required sensual fantasizing for creative inspiration. Pounding his fist on the glass in frustration, he turned on his heel and left the office. He needed some air.
