CHAPTER

TWENTY-EIGHT

Aisley held her gloves in her hand as she walked to the lobby. She wasn’t shocked to find Phelan talking with two other women who were hanging on his every word.

One of the females, a buxom blonde showing enough cleavage that Aisley could make out the red of her bra, placed a hand on Phelan’s arm.

Phelan kept talking, but he angled himself so that he moved away from the blonde’s touch. It was obvious, and it was done in such a way that if Aisley hadn’t been watching him, she wouldn’t have known what he did.

His gaze slid to her. The smile he gave slammed into her, nearly knocking her on her ass. He might be charming those other women, but his look told her he only wanted her.

Aisley fisted her hand as she recalled the way his thick, defined muscles moved beneath her hand, how warm his skin was. How wonderful his weight felt atop her as he filled her body with his arousal.

Her breath hitched and her body flushed with need. Phelan wasn’t just sex appeal and rugged masculinity, he was magnetic, hypnotic.

Irresistible.

And for the moment, he was hers.

As if he knew what she was thinking, his blue-gray eyes darkened. His desire was as palpable as her own. The invisible bonds between them strengthened, grew. They tugged at her, drawing her down the last two remaining steps.

Aisley couldn’t stop her feet from moving her toward Phelan. He was a force unto himself, and like gravity, she was powerless to resist his call.

She ignored the nasty looks from the two women as she came to stand in front of Phelan. He wore a black long-sleeve thermal shirt that molded to his bulging muscles. Instead of the same waterproof pants she wore, he had on jeans.

“Ready?” he asked.

She thought about the need pulsing within her. “No.”

“Doona tempt me, beauty,” he said in a low, seductive tone that made her heart race.

“Consider this tempting.”

He stared at her for the longest time before he shook his head. “I can no’ believe I’m no’ throwing you over my shoulder and taking you back to the room.”

“You’re not?” she asked incredulously.

“This is a first for me. Just as leaving you sleeping last night was.”

“Then you shouldn’t have let me sleep.”

His smile made her roll her eyes. “You needed your rest for today.”

Aisley decided then and there that the next chance she got, she was going to tease Phelan mercilessly. Let him writhe in need as she was then.

He handed her a backpack before he slung his own over his shoulder. “Ready?”

“Not really,” she said and followed him out of the hotel.

They were halfway to the Cuillins before she asked, “What about our stuff in the hotel?”

“I’ve paid a week in advance. Our things will be fine,” he answered from in front of her.

Aisley hooked her thumbs in the straps of the backpack and kept pace with Phelan. The sky was clear. For now. How long it would stay that way was anyone’s guess.

“They’re near,” Phelan said when he reached back to help her up over a large boulder.
