CHAPTER 19

Jack watched Diana pack her stuff and felt the need churning in his gut. She’d announced she would be flying out with the rest of her family tonight.

Not happening.

“I want you to stay,” he repeated emphatically. His massive frame casually draped across the sofa, he wished she would stay still for just one fucking second so they could talk. Ever since that morning she’d been avoiding him like the plague.

He could understand the rest of her family flying out. They’d only planned on staying for the wedding, and probably had stuff to do back home. What he didn’t understand was why she was so eager to leave. She’d told him herself she’d taken the week off from work and was only due back Monday. That left her five more days in Montinia. With him. Where she belonged.

Of course that’s not what he told her. He was still wrestling with his emotions where she was concerned. He knew he wanted her and wanted her badly. He just didn’t know what type of relationship that entailed. He just knew they needed to spend more time together. Get to know each other without being locked up in a panic room with a bunch of homicidal maniacs lurking outside.

It was obvious they were a match on a purely physical level. Hell, the sexual tension between them was so hot he was hard even now as he watched her sashay into the bedroom.

Was it so difficult for her to understand he wanted to take things to the next level? See where this insane attraction would lead?

“Did you hear what I said?”

She hadn’t stopped moving, as if to stop and listen was to declare defeat.

“Why do you want me to stay?” she finally asked. He watched her stalk into the bedroom, carrying a handful of clothes and stuffing them into the suitcase that lay open on the bed.

“Because…” He was treading dangerous ground here. He’d never been good at expressing his emotions. How could he make her change her mind? How could he tell her how he felt without coming off as a complete jackass? “Because I want you to,” he finally ground out, and she shot him a critical look.

“I have stuff to do back home,” she told him, an edge to her voice that hadn’t been there before.

“I thought you said you took the week off?”

“I did,” she admitted, “but that doesn’t mean I don’t have other things going on. I need to…” She waved her hand ineffectually. “…pick up my dog and…”

He arched an eyebrow. “Pick up your dog?” Was that the best she could do?

“…and other stuff,” she added lamely. She appeared in the doorframe, cheeks flushed and looking absolutely gorgeous. “What is to you anyway? What do you care if I hang around or not?”

He wasn’t ready to admit he simply couldn’t bear to see her go, so instead he said, “I bet Mike needs you with the investigation. After all, this whole case revolves around you.”

She seemed to waver for a moment, then finally said, “I guess I could stay a couple of days.
