WHEN THE KNOCK sounded on Daniel’s front door, his heart performed one of those contortionist-type maneuvers it had recently started executing, and he frowned. Ridiculous. She was just a woman. The world was littered with them. Two weeks from now they’d be nothing more than former neighbors with, he hoped, a few hot memories between them. Tiny blips on each other’s radar screens.

Yeah. But in the meantime…

He had to force himself not to sprint to the door. “Be cool, be calm, be suave,” he muttered as he entered his small foyer. “Yeah, that’s the ticket. Just do your best James Bond.”

Pausing to draw a deep, soothing breath, he opened the door. And stared.

At Carlie, her skin damp, her hair a riotous tangle of glistening, wet curls. At Carlie, wearing a pale pink towel that—yowza—barely covered the essentials.

Holy crap, he’d swallowed his tongue again. Damn it, James Bond wouldn’t do that. Hell, no. But then, James had never faced a nearly naked Carlie.

The dam behind the pent-up hunger he’d fought against all day burst, and with a groan, he stepped forward and pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

That same incredible rush of heated pleasure he’d experienced last night roared through him, erasing any doubt that he’d simply imagined it.

She moaned—or was that him?—and parted her lips, and he deepened the kiss, his tongue dancing with hers. Her hands slid into his hair, and his arms tightened around her, his head swimming from a combination of the feel of her curves and moist skin pressed against him and the incredible, fresh scent of her.

When the need to yank off her towel right there on the porch threatened to overwhelm his better judgment, he lifted his head. His glasses were only partially fogged this time. He was gratified to note that she appeared as dazed and bamboozled as he felt.

Clearing his throat, he said, “I don’t know much about fashion, but I’m really liking this Bed, Bath and Beyond look you’ve got going here.”

She blinked several times, then her eyes widened. Splaying her hands on his chest, she leaned back and said, “Daniel, we have a problem—”

“Not from where I’m standing.”

“I’m so embarrassed—”

“Believe me, you have absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about.” And if he didn’t get her in the house pronto, the neighbors were going to get one hell of a show. Stepping away from her, he opened the door. “C’mon in.”

“Thanks.” She stepped across the threshold and he breathed in the sexy, feminine fragrance she left in her wake. He closed and locked the door, then turned. And was treated to a back view of her in that short, short towel.

Before he could recover, she grabbed his hand and tugged. “Hurry,” she said, pulling him toward the back of the house.

“Anything you say.” He’d planned a slow, leisurely seduction, but hey, he was flexible. The lady wanted quick? Fine by him. He was more than willing and, after spending an entire night and day fantasizing about her, definitely more than ready.
