Alex looked down at the woman, thinking she was reading his mind. But towards her. “You probably have no idea of this, but you project your own sense of confidence. Anyone watching you walk across the lobby or down the street would think you were tough and strong.”

She snorted and shook her head. “That’s just the New York City attitude.” She smiled up at him through her lashes. “Or maybe it’s a bit of arrogance.”

“Whichever is nicer at the moment, right?”

She chuckled. “Exactly.”

“So what are we going to do about this attraction?”

She blinked. “Aren’t we going to…?” Becca hesitated as she looked into his eyes. “I mean…I thought you’d agreed to let me,” she hated the word but there wasn’t really an alternative, “pay you for your time over the next week.”

He shook his head. “No. I’m not going to take your money. But I will spend whatever time with you that you can spare and consider it my vacation. How does that sound?”

It sounded incredible, but she wasn’t sure she could handle him without the strictures of her being in charge. “What about…”

“This isn’t sexual,” he told her, then chuckled when he saw the disappointment flash in her eyes. “Unless you want it to be.”

“That isn’t really…”

His features hardened and he interrupted whatever she was about to say. “I want you, Becca. Never doubt that.” He took her hand and pulled her closer, his hands resting on her hips as he pressed her softness against his obviously aroused body. “This is what you do to me.”

She gasped when she felt his impressive erection against her belly. “I do that to you?” she whispered, amazed and intimidated all over again.

“Yes. But if you don’t want anything to happen, then it won’t happen. I won’t allow you to rent me,” he teased, “but you are still in charge of everything.”

Her smile started out small, but as his words sank into her jealousy-singed brain, her smile grew wider. “I think I might like that,” she told him.

He watched her expression change, the sweet, sexy excitement enter her eyes and laughed as he shook his head. “I think I might have given you a bit too much power,” he told her. “Would you mind very much if I finally kissed you again? That last time is still in my…”

He couldn’t finish whatever he was about to say since she lifted up, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him first. It was the first time she’d initiated any sort of intimacy between them and his body hardened to an almost painful throbbing.

When he lifted his head, they were both trying to gulp air into their lungs. He looked down at her, knew that the door was closed and, unless the hotel caught on fire, no one on his staff would interrupt him. He knew that he could take her on the table behind him, but…this was Becca. From the first moment she’d walked into the hotel, Alex knew that she was going to be different from the other women in his past.
