Sloane continued to stare at Josh, not sure that she’d heard him correctly. A partner? He was making her a partner? What did that even mean?

But since he started throwing instructions to her, she needed to focus on those and figure out the meaning to his other comment later.

A half hour later, he sighed and stretched his arms over his head wearily. “Okay, that’s enough for today,” he said, leaning back against the sofa. “You look exhausted. Why don’t you go out and sit by the pool with your sisters for a while?” Josh stood up and began gathering up the papers.

It was almost dinner time, but she was reluctant to leave him, knowing that he’d keep working if she left. “I’m fine,” she replied, not wanting him to think she couldn’t keep up with his schedule.

“Why don’t you date?” he asked softly.

When Sloane turned, she found him leaning a shoulder against the wall. He looked amazingly virile in khaki slacks and a loose shirt, the muscles of his forearms drawing her gaze. She noticed the tanned column of his neck and his broad shoulders, his lean waist, and…well, all of him. Every time he did this, she couldn’t seem to keep her eyes from surveying him.

And yeah, she knew he was muscular. Not because she’d ever been privileged to touch him. No way! But because she’d felt that strength last night in the casino, plus she’d seen him in workout clothes and after a long run. Many times actually. They traveled together, always shared a suite, and she knew the man. She’d even seen him swimming several times. He was...extraordinary!

“Sloane?” he prompted softly.

Was his voice huskier than a moment ago? She looked up at his face and noticed the intensity in those emerald eyes of his.

She cleared her throat, pushing the thoughts aside. She turned away and focused on packing up her bag. “I think that you date enough for both of us,” she teased.

There was silence behind her and she turned, hoping that he hadn’t taken offense. “I mean…”

“I know what you meant. But I don’t date that much,” he said. He smiled briefly. “Okay, so I used to. But recently…” he trailed off and shrugged. “So why don’t you? There were several men admiring you last night in the casino, but you didn’t even notice them.”

She shrugged. “No one bothers to ask me out,” she laughed.

“I don’t believe that. You could have had any man in the casino last night, but you were oblivious to the attention.”

Sloane sighed, leaning against the back of one of the hotel chairs. The truth was, she’d been too aware of Josh last night to notice anyone else. The way he’d touched her had felt…different.

Unfortunately, Josh was in one of his moods where he’d discovered a mystery and was determined to ferret it out. When Josh Starke discovered a puzzle, he was merciless until he figured it out.

She could offer him nothing more than complete honesty. Well, not complete. He didn’t need to know about her interest in him, but she could explain why she didn’t date other men.
