IT WAS NEARLY FOUR BEFORE Jonah hung his pool stick on the rack and watched the last of the kids reluctantly exit through the front door of Interludes. There was a part of him that looked forward to this party every year. But he was also aware there was a part of him that had wanted very much for the party to end.

And that was because of Cilla.

Usually, he could completely lose himself in a game of pool. Playing allowed him to clear his mind for a while. Today, there hadn’t been one moment when he’d been able to totally focus on the position of the balls or to imagine the possible angles for a shot.

Because she’d been watching him. Sometimes, he would look up and catch her doing just that. Other times he was pretty sure he’d felt her watching him on the TV screens.

How in the hell was that possible? He ran a hand through his hair.

He studied her now as she paced in the dining room, the phone pressed to her ear. She was in Priscilla mode, jotting down notes, figuring the angles.

But there was that moment earlier when he’d walked into the dining room and his eyes had met hers—she’d been Cilla then. Something in her look had slammed into him like a Mack truck, triggering so many emotions, so many needs.

He’d been outrageously tempted to just go to her, grab her off that stool, and carry her off somewhere. Only the fact that he’d been surrounded by kids and someone was trying to kill her had stopped him. Caveman tactics had never been his style, but as he watched her pace, he was beginning to see their value.

It had been hours since he’d touched her, kissed her. It might as well have been years. And it was going to be far too long until he could get her back to Pleasures and into his bed.

A quick glance at his watch told him that they were due at the St. Francis Hotel in half an hour. And he’d never been more tempted in his life to blow off a business meeting. Carl would understand. But Stanley Rubin had called the meeting as a favor. Jonah couldn’t let him down.

One thing he was sure of, the two quick kisses he’d stolen during the endless day hadn’t been enough. But they’d certainly tapped out his self-control. He’d better keep his distance and play by her ground rules until they were safely in his apartment.

Pushing himself away from the pool table, he strode into the entrance hall.

“I’ll lock the door,” Mark Gibbons said.

Jonah turned to the man, who hadn’t left his post at the hostess desk all afternoon. Carmen had brought him a plate of food at one point, but he’d remained where he could check out anyone who came through the door.

“Boss wants to have a brief meeting before we leave for your business appointment at the hotel,” Gibbons said.

Turning, Jonah saw that Cilla now sat at a table with Santos, out of the way of the waitstaff that was whisking away the debris of the party.
