“Hey, sleepyhead. What are you doing?”

Ronan sat up swiftly, instantly alert, startling Ashley into moving back a few steps, before laughing. “Were you too long for the couch?”

His gazed raked her, up and down, took in her modest capri-pajamas, and his gaze heated.

In the next moment he scrubbed his hands over his face, then bounded up and away from her. He glanced over to the couch. “Somethin’ like that.”

It almost looked like he’d been guarding her, the way he was blocking the main door as he was, and dang, that did something to her heart!

“You know I’m going to want to take you home with me, don’t you?”

He stilled at that, and stared down at her. “Lass …” his voice was deep and rumbly, his accent thick.

She waved a hand in the air. “I know, I know. You’re my bodyguard for the length of the tour. All I’m saying is that you’re a sweetheart.”

He was still watching her, hopefully thinking about what she’d said, as she went into the kitchen to get a drink. She filled a cup for him as well, and handed it to him.

Their fingers brushed, and, okay, maybe she’d made sure that happened on purpose. She grinned at him, clinked her plastic cup against his, and took a drink.

He was watching her, seeming to take every inch of her in as his gaze roamed her body before meeting her eyes once more.

She drew in a breath. Whew. She had to remind herself she’d only known the guy for twenty-four hours. “I’m going to get dressed, and it looks like you already are, so let’s get this show on the road. Shall we?”

She headed back into her bedroom, shut the door, and leaned back against it as her heart thudded in her chest. The way he’d been looking at her was like a starving man looks at dinner. She drew in another breath.

Maybe she shouldn’t have said that, about taking him home, but she’d at least wanted to plant the seed in his head. She really liked him. And the attraction wasn’t just one sided. Perhaps this could turn into something more than just a vacation romance? Maybe, just maybe, it could be so much more.

She hurried and dressed as fast as she could, simply because she wanted to see him again. She picked up her thumb drive and slipped it in her bra again. Just in case.

It was a new day, new possibilities, and she’d still have Ronan at her side.

She had every intention of making the most of it.
