Iâm standing in the kitchen of Ainsleyâs lakeside cabin unloading my groceries and still feeling so perplexed that she asked me to come up here to check on her house. Of course, because Ainsley is a Montgomery and heiress to a hotel empire, the âlakeside cabinâ is only a cabin in the same way that War and Peace is a novella.
I go over our last conversation in my head again.
âAinsley wanted me to come here to her cabin to check things out because she was suspicious that the caretakers have been neglecting things.â Okay so Iâm not going over the conversation in my head, but rather out loud. I glance around the cabin. Everything is spotless and in perfect condition.
âSheâs clearly up to something. She did say she thought it would be good for me to get out of town and breathe in the nice, clean country air. Still strange, but Iâm here now so might as well make the most of it.â
I finish unloading the food into the fridge and then the pantry. Iâm plugging in the electric tea kettle when the front door of the cabin opens. I grab the closest thing to me to use as a makeshift weapon. Itâs a whisk. Yep, Iâm terrifying.
Then I realize who is standing there. Mateo. Glowering at me. My breath catches because no man has ever looked so unbelievably handsome. My mouth falls open and I know Iâm staring, but damn, he looks good.
Heâs got jeans on that mold perfectly to his thick, muscular thighs. And the faded black t-shirt hugs his sculpted shoulders and chest. That trimmed beard draws attention to his chiseled jawline and the pouty fullness of his lips. Then there are his eyes, intense and dark and aimed right at me.
âMateo?â I manage, finally finding my voice. âWhat are you doing here?â
He drops his duffle bag on the floor and it lands with a loud thump. And then heâs coming towards me.
I take a step backwards.
âIâve been trying to find you.â
âOh?â
âYeah. I thought you worked at the hotel. I tried to leave a message there on more than one occasion because I thought they were lying to me. They probably have me on a stalker list by now.â
I release an awkward chuckle. Heâs so close now I could reach out and touch him. The cool, masculine scent of him wafts to my nose and I inhale deeply. And my body responds immediately, my nipples tighten and my pussy floods with arousal.
âDid you know I was on your brotherâs team?â He steps towards me again.
I move away until my back hits the refrigerator behind me.
His eyes search my face. âDid you know?â
âYes.â
He leans down and runs his nose up the side of my throat to right below my ear. âIs that why youâve been avoiding me?â His voice is low and gravely and Iâm pretty sure I might be panting. âTell me the truth, princess.â
I release a shuddering breath. âEzra wonât be happy if we see each other, and he could make things difficult for you.
