“No! I mean. I am fine. Still a little shaken from the accident.” Jenna swallowed hard. The change in Aidan’s behavior toward her had her head spinning. Things were suddenly moving too fast.

Jenna wasn’t oblivious. She’d noticed there was sexual tension between them, albeit muted. There was nothing dampening it now. It was like the accident had removed a barrier. She could now see the full brunt of his desire.

Aidan’s intense focus thrilled her and frightened her. Jenna wasn’t convinced she could handle the heat without being consumed, which was why she found herself trying to bow out.

“Doubt I’d be very good company tonight,” she said.

Aidan was giving her the perfect opportunity to interview him, but the offer came with strings. Strings that threatened to bind her, making escape impossible.

Part of Jenna ached to give in. It had been so long since she’d touched another human being, or been held all night in someone’s arms. Her skin prickled. If she concentrated, she could almost feel the warmth of his hands on her body. But there were other things to consider beyond primal needs.

Carl’s pugnacious face flashed in her mind.

The thought of running into him drove the heat from her body, sobering her. She had no idea what Carl would do. Would he start a fight? Try to drag her into his car like the last time?

Jenna didn’t want Aidan in the line of fire. Better to drive a wedge between them now, than to have harm come to him. This wasn’t his fight. It was hers.

“It’s just a casual dinner. I’m not looking to be entertained.” Aidan seemed unnaturally calm. Like accidents, house calls, and strangers disrupting his life were the norm around this place.

She took a different tack. One Jenna was sure would hit its mark. “Wouldn’t you prefer one of your women to go with you? No doubt any one of them would jump at the chance.” The snap in her voice surprised her. All she’d wanted to do was douse the rising flames, but somehow her tone had had the opposite effect.

Aidan’s amber eyes appeared to glow and he looked unduly pleased. He didn’t dispute her claim. How could he? She’d seen the models with her own eyes. He also didn’t gloat, but then again, he didn’t need to. He was well aware of how appealing he was to the opposite sex. The only thing that had changed was now he knew she wasn’t immune to his charm.

“I want you,” Aidan paused, “to join me tonight.”

His words seared her flesh, exposing her vulnerability. She wasn’t clueless. She hadn’t missed the double-entendre. In desperation, Jenna tried one last time to dissuade him.

“If you’re looking to add to your harem, then you’d better look elsewhere.”

A nerve in Aidan’s jaw started to tic. “I do not have nor have I ever had a harem. They’re not culturally relevant for me and the concept is outdated. Don’t you think?” he continued. “What I do have is a lot of responsibility.
