Bella was offering him his dream. No strings attached. A night of the best sex of his life—it would be the best—and all he had to do was not make it a nightmare for her. Not a bad deal for a man not wanting commitments, so why was it rubbing him raw?

Sam glanced across the campfire in time to catch Isabella running that tongue over her lips again. She always did that when she was nervous. And why wouldn’t she be? She’d leveraged the game out of the realm of play to the harsh truth of reality. Any intelligent woman would rethink her plan when it came to the crunch. He sighed and flicked his smoke into the fire and told his aching cock to take a rest. Nothing was going to happen tonight.“Having second thoughts?”

Isabella looked up from the cup of coffee she’d been toying with for the last fifteen minutes. Firelight played across her face, shadowing her eyes in mystery, augmenting the aura of femininity she wore like other women wore a fancy hat.

Shit. It was going to kill him to walk away from her tonight.

“No. What makes you ask that?”

“The way you’re sitting there getting more agitated by the second.”

“I am being silly.” She put the cup on the ground beside her. Another stroke of her tongue over her lips. Lust poured through him in a hot, liquid heat riding his blood before pooling in his cock. What was it about the woman that she made him one continuous hard-on?

“Silly or not, let’s hear it.” He might as well deal with her fears as they occurred.

“Ever since this afternoon, you have been putting distance between us.”

“Nothing new about that. I’ve been trying to put distance between us since the day we met.”

She shrugged. “This is different. Now that night is here, I do not know how to get from here…” She made a descriptive motion with her hand from her feet to him “—to there.” She hitched the blanket up over her shoulder. “So I am now worrying.”

He wasn’t sure he was hearing her correctly. “About what?”

“I do not know what is proper, what is improper. What will work. What won’t.”

He blinked. Of all the concerns he figured she had, he hadn’t figured on that. “You don’t know how to seduce me?”

Bella glared at him like it was all his fault. “Sí, this is what I do not know.”

She was always surprising him. Despite the regret he knew he was going to feel once this night was over, Sam still felt like smiling. “Pardon me. This is my first time out as a defiler of innocence.”

A little of the lift left her chin. “This is true?”

Of course it was true. What the hell kind of man did she think he was? “Innocence should be protected.”

“As you protect me?”

“It’s part of my job. I’m a Texas Ranger. We have the Creed. I live by it.”

“And making you do this violates this creed?”

He could say yes. She’d promptly feel so guilty about making him violate his creed she’d back off.
