The expertly mown lawn dissolved in an angry haze in front of Luke’s eyes. He was so annoyed with Louisa he wanted to throttle her. The woman was turning out to be more of a challenge than he’d anticipated—and not the enjoyable kind.

One minute they’d been about to devour each other, and the next she’d been talking a load of rubbish about rights and decisions and demanding he apologise for…For what, exactly? He didn’t even know what he’d done that was so terrible.

To add injury to insult, he was so hard in his jeans it was a wonder he hadn’t made a complete fool of himself.

Nobody told him what to do—especially not someone who’d been so vulnerable the night before that he’d had to mop up her tears and tuck her into bed like a baby. She needed him to take care of her. If she’d just admit that they could get past all this nonsense and get back to what mattered. And right now relieving the ache in his groin was top of the list.

But how had she turned the tables on him so neatly? She’d been as ready as he had a moment ago. He’d heard that staggered moan, smelt the intoxicating scent of her arousal. But she’d still managed to pull back. He knew she could be stubborn, and over-emotional, and contrary, but where had this backbone of steel come from?

He rubbed the back of his neck, tried to focus on the problem.

What mattered in any negotiation was the bottom line. And the bottom line here was that he wanted Louisa to stay—for a week at the very least. So they could finish what they’d started—both in bed and out. It was pretty obvious she had a problem with any kind of authority—so he’d have to tread more carefully.

He turned around. She was watching him, waiting, her eyes flinty with determination, her fingers clasped tight on the lapels of her robe. She looked valiant, despite the bare feet and freshly scrubbed face—like a warrior instead of the fanciful, inexperienced girl he’d once taken her for. Why he found that attractive, he had no idea.

As he approached her he noticed how her puckered nipples stood proud against the thin fabric of the robe. She was no more immune to him than he was to her—he might have to concede this battle but he would still win the war.
