Chapter Six

She’d been surprised when he drove her across the island and back to the large building that held the staff living quarters—her building. But she remained quiet, waiting to see if he was going to tell her to grab a few things from her apartment. Instead he’d led her to the private elevator that went only one place: to the executive penthouse suite on the top floor.

The doors slid open and revealed a white marble-paved foyer, the walls hung with heavy pewter-framed mirrors. She caught his gaze in their reflection.

“You live here?”

“I do when I’m on the island.”

“I suppose that makes sense, since you’re one of the designers. I always assumed this apartment was used by management or… I don’t know what I assumed. I’m surprised I never ran into you, though. Although you do have your own elevator. And I guess you probably arrive at night, given the cross-country journey you have to make from California to Florida.”

“All true. Come, let me show you in.” He wrapped an arm around her waist, yanking her in close, making her smile. “I’m going to have to try very hard to let you bathe, to let you breathe for a minute.”

“I don’t need to breathe,” she said, and she saw he understood the different layers behind her words. She didn’t want to stop, even for a few moments. And she absolutely loved the breath play. She was going wet even thinking about it.

“Come on, beauty. Into the shower with you.”

He led her across the living room of the apartment. Enormous windows overlooked the island and out to the sparkling blue sea. Inside was nearly as breathtaking. More marble floors punctuated by white faux-fur rugs, the furniture all sleek black leather, more of the modern pewter-framed mirrors everywhere, one standing floor-to-ceiling. Everything slick and cool, a perfect contrast to the lush tropical setting of the island—even the cool, white orchids in tall vases set around the room.

She had to pause and stare. “This place is beautiful.”

He moved in close and murmured in her ear, “You’re beautiful, Miranda.”

She turned to look at him, and something passed between them, something that made her legs tremble. Then his dark brows furrowed, his fingers flexing around hers as a shadow crossed his features. He started to shake his head, but then smiled instead and turned to lead her further into the luxurious apartment, leaving her a bit giddy and confused.

Was she imagining all of this? Was it all some lovely fantasy that would come crashing down around them?

Relax. Just enjoy it.

But suddenly it was all too much and she knew she’d been wrong—she needed that moment to breathe. To think without his gorgeousness and his dominance clouding her vision.

She laid a hand on his arm. “Roan? I think…I think I need a minute. I don’t know. Maybe I need the day.”

“What?”

She pushed her hair back from her face. “This has been amazing. But it’s also been a lot. I need a little down time to process.”

He dropped her hand, making her stomach twist.
