Chapter Six

What the hell had he been thinking? Kyle wondered. To suggest that he and Cindy return to her place to practice dancing—to practice slow dancing—had been an idiotic idea.

He wasn’t normally into self-torture. Holding her in his arms, smelling the light, flowery fragrance of her hair, her skin, was most definitely torture. To the highest degree. And the erotic music playing on the stereo was only making matters worse. Kyle knew he needed to focus his thoughts on something, anything else but the feel and delicate scent of Cindy’s skin, the silky texture of her hair—

Think of something else! he commanded himself. However, he couldn’t come up with a single, safe thought to latch on to.

His behavior over the past couple of weeks continued to baffle and confuse him. First, he’d kissed Cindy. His personal assistant. His employee. What on earth had possessed him? As he waltzed Cindy around her living room, where they’d pushed back the furniture to create a makeshift dance floor, he pondered the answer to that question.

The only answer he could come up with was that it wasn’t all his fault. She’d completely overwhelmed him by the physical change in her appearance.

Oh, come on. A silent voice sneered at him. What kind of excuse is that? What kind of man can’t control his raging hormones?

Okay, okay, he silently responded. So it wasn’t the greatest of excuses. But she’d flirted with him in the conference room. She’d been the one who had fluttered those long lashes at him. Batted those gorgeous green eyes his way. So again he felt that the kissing incident hadn’t been entirely his fault.

What kind of person blames his behavior on someone else?

Kyle felt he was going to go nuts if he didn’t stop the questions. He also felt he was going to go nuts if he had to endure being this close to Cindy for much longer without acting on his terrific urge to kiss her. Again.

Oh, no you don’t, the stern voice said. There will be none of that. Not with Cindy. Not with any woman. Not after the hell you went through with Monica.

Cindy had explained her flirtatious behavior in the conference room. And he had no reason not to believe her when she’d told him she hadn’t intended to tease him, it hadn’t been her aim to play with his emotions in order to get promoted to personal assistant to Mr. Barrington’s son when the man finally came to take over the company. With that thought in mind, Kyle wondered why he’d continued to be so unsettled by Cindy. Before the big presentation, before her makeover and the kiss they had shared, their working relationship had been damned near perfect.

So why in the hell had he agreed to take her out for dinner and dancing? That was the worst move he could have made when his hormones were in such an uproar over the woman. And in an uproar his hormones had been. And continued to be. There was no denying it.
