Sierra was determined to make good use of the time Blade was away. Saturday morning she did the interviews set up by the advertising agency with The Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Both reporters promised the photos in the newspaper would be in color.

After her last appointment for that day she’d gone with Dominique to photograph the models, a man and a woman, in the fitness center, the spa, and reclining by the pool. She’d tried not to think of her and Blade there but wasn’t successful.

Declining Dominique’s invitation to have dinner at her house, Sierra stayed home and waited for Blade to call. She’d never waited for a man to call in her life. She’d picked at the dinner Martin had prepared. Both bad signs, but there wasn’t a thing she could do to stop caring for Blade.

A little after eight, the doorbell rang. Hoping against hope that Blade had returned early, she tossed the book she’d been trying to read on the sofa, took two steps, and then stopped. She wore silk pajamas and nothing else. The doorbell rang again. “Coming,” she yelled, then reached for the matching robe. There was no sense in asking for trouble from a man who was aching to give it to her.

As she opened the door, her eyes widened. She squealed and launched herself into the powerful arms of her brother.

Luke smiled against her hair. “I guess you’re glad to see us.”

“That’s an understatement.” She reached for her sister-in-law.

“Hello, Sierra.”

“Why didn’t you call and let me know?” Sierra asked after hugging Catherine and inviting them inside.

“He wanted to surprise you. The concierge at the W overheard us asking at the front desk for you and told us you were here. Luke asked the security guard downstairs not to alert you.” Catherine glanced at Luke with mild reproach.

Sierra understood that look. He had wanted to see if Blade were there. She tried not to blush. If he hadn’t been out of town, he might have been there and they might have been doing exactly what Luke and her family were worried about.

Trying to hide another blush, she started toward the great room just as her phone rang. “Excuse me. Hello.”

“Are you all right?”

Sierra frowned on hearing Shane’s voice. She thought he had gone with Blade.

“Sierra.” Impatience and worry rang in that one word.

“Yes.”

“I’m at your door; please let me in.” The line went dead. A knock sounded on the door.

Luke caught Sierra’s arm when she started to answer. “What’s the matter?”

“I’m not sure. Shane Elliott, the head of Security, sounded worried.” She hurried to the door and opened it when the sound became more demanding.

Shane stepped around her, his gaze hard and alert. Two other men were with him.

“Shane, what is it?” Sierra asked.

Luke answered, “He’s checking on me.”

He gave a hand signal, and the men with him left. “Mr. Grayson, it is my duty to protect everyone associated with Navarone Properties. You will not be admitted on this floor unless you’re cleared by Security.
