Dominic made it halfway across the recreation area, cursing himself soundly, before he noticed where he was. He stopped, hands on hips, and exhaled a great gust.

So much for his holiday from reality. If Mrs. Murray hadn’t come up, he’d have had Lexie on the ground beneath him, lost in his fury to protect her, to seal her, to mark her as his.

Damn Gary for noticing that tempting backside. Damn Bradley for playing rough. Damn every man here for wanting her. She was his.

But she could not be, not until he could prove her innocent. He was not so lost in lust that he couldn’t see the danger of trusting the wrong person. The wrong woman. It was an early lesson he’d taken too long to master.

He wanted to smash something with his fist. He wanted to fight, to rail against the fates who dropped a woman like that in his life at the very worst time—and made it impossible for him to know whether to trust his heart or his mind.

Then he heard her laughter. And sighed. What would it take to free him from the spell she’d woven?

What would it take to wipe her out of his mind?

Six days. In six days, the gala. In seven days, he could have her out of his life. He wouldn’t have to see her every day, have to hear the laughter she gave to everyone but him. Wouldn’t have the constant reminder in the smiles she left behind on the faces of everyone she met.

Then he could concentrate. He could redouble his efforts to eliminate the threat to Poseidon. He could give his sister more attention when his own wasn’t so frayed.

Seven days.

A lifetime. And at the end, what would he have?

His life back, an orderly, controlled life. Not a tomboy in sight.

Damn it.

The laughter rang out again, and he followed its music. Lexie rode the carousel, a dark-haired toddler in her lap. She sat the wooden horse easily, smiling at the child whose relaxed posture indicated total trust.

She would be an incredible mother. Dominic could so easily picture the nursery Lexie would create, a magical kingdom to make a child as imaginative as she was. The small dark head nestled between her breasts, and Dominic was seized by a powerful image—his own dark-haired child, carried in that woman’s body.

He went hard in a rush. Even more dangerously, longing swept through him like a storm. She could be a traitor, he reminded himself. A spy. There was nothing sensible he could do but wait.

And try to stop wanting her.
