CHAPTER 11

Ann stared at the piles of manuscripts on her desk, and sighed. She allowed her head to fall on her desk. She was exhausted! They had not stayed out so late last night—in fact, she could have stayed much longer. She had enjoyed herself until…

She almost laughed aloud. Why had they been so afraid when they left La Guerre? Shadows! How silly. Fear had bred fear, and they had then thought that they’d hit something, that something had been on the car, that…

Malone had stayed behind. Such a good looking fellow. And Tara was all but rude to him. Ah, well, the American from the cafe had been there. Very sexy. Not that she was really ready to tumble into a deep relationship again so quickly, but… well, the fellow was American. And he was giving her the courage and conviction to stay away from Willem.

She didn’t even know how long Rick Beaudreaux intended to stay in the area. And yet … um … he might be just what she needed right now. The attraction was there. Sparks, delicious little tingles of electricity swept through her when they talked, danced, moved together. And that was the thing, of course. It was either there, or it was not It was possible to know a man forever, a man with all the right qualities, virtues, whatever, perhaps even good looking, well employed, mature, kind … and it would not matter in the least if an attraction was not there.

The American might not live in Paris, he might not even be gainfully employed, she didn’t even really know.

But…

She wasn’t sure that she cared. She wanted to see him again. Or, she would want to see him again if she weren’t so ridiculously tired. She could imagine a night teaching him about French wines … and then time alone. Yes, quite frankly, she didn’t need a dinner, more dancing, or anything. She would love just one night alone with him. And then …

Well, she wouldn’t allow for a heartbreak. She would indulge herself because she was out of a relationship, because he had that very sexy quality and the right sparks, and she was a woman with the right to desires and an affair if it was her choosing.

And, of course, she wanted Willem to know. She wanted him to know that she had forgotten him, could truly live without him, and could be adored and swept into a brief but passionate, absolutely fiery relationship with another man. Even as he tried to make amends.

But she was tired. So, so, tired …

“Ann?”

Startled, she looked up. She blinked.

The man of her thoughts had suddenly materialized in front of her desk. He was wearing a business suit. Well cut, it enhanced his height and his shape. The suit was dark, Armani, perhaps, or Versace, very simply cut, clean, and appealing. He appeared very blond and bronzed in it. And he smelled … divine.

To her dismay, since she did consider herself a logical and businesslike, competent and assured woman, she stuttered.
