Jordan didn't stop until he reached the other side of the estate. Since he was supposed to look a bit out of shape and much older, he'd had to refrain from running full speed. With every footfall, he cursed himself. How unprofessional could he be? He'd almost taken her in the pool, in front of an audience.

What the bloody hell had he been thinking? Nothing. That's what. At least nothing to do with his brain. The minute he saw her lying on that raft in the pool, that luscious bare body glistening under the sun, he'd lost all sense of time, his reasons for being there, and that at least four pairs of eyes bored into his back. His only thought was to get to her and touch her. He'd told himself he could remain in his role and still touch her. It would be expected of him and damned if he didn't want to suddenly play the role of a man who had every right to caress and kiss every inch of that sexy, beautiful body.

She'd been on the verge of climax. He'd felt her sex throbbing against his. When she'd given him her breast, he'd lost it, had come within a second of pulling that scrap of material out of the way and plunging into her, riding her until they both shouted with release. Witnesses be damned.

But he'd come to his senses in the nick of time and hurt her in the process. What excuse could he give? That they had an audience? They had, but that wasn't why he'd stopped. He wasn't a totally free man. He had a woman waiting on his return … counting on him to be faithful.

Since he'd been with Samara, he hadn't slept with another woman … hadn't even really wanted one, though he'd had many opportunities. Why was this different? Why was Eden different? Yes, she was a beautiful woman, but so was Samara.

It wasn't Eden's beauty, or her sexuality, which she wore as comfortably as a second skin, that made him want her. It was … hell, what did it matter the reason? He couldn't let what just happened ever happen again. When this project ended, he would return home. That was the way he wanted it. Though he longed to find Devon, he also longed to settle down with a nice, normal woman and have a simple, quiet life.

Damned if Eden was either nice or normal. Life with her would be an endless adventure. He'd had enough adventure to last several lifetimes.

Jordan turned to go back, his mind once again on the mission and his role. He ignored the ache in his groin and the even more painful one in his gut.

Eden held her head under the shower, her face down. It was the only place she could hide. They had no proof of cameras in the bathroom. Having decided early that to check for any kind of bug or camera would give them away, they lived as Maggie and Barry.
