screwing with your life?”

Well, damn, when he put it that way… “I’ve al ready gone over all of this with

Ethan. Twenty‐five million times.”

“So let’s do it twenty‐five million and one. Maybe we’ve all missed something.

Names and impressions.”

“You think one of my dates is a crazy stalker.” She shivered at the thought.

“Which doesn’t explain the second guy who got shot, the one across town.”

“True, but there are a lot of possibilities here. Let’s work at narrowing them

down.”

He was all focused and fiercely intense, and when he was really concentrating—

like now—he got that deep furrow in his brow.

She wanted to forget the hell that was her current life and kiss that furrow away.

What could she say. Yes, her sexual thoughts were inappropriate considering the

moment, but it was a defense mechanism. And an easy one to cling to. For God’s

sake, just look at him. Still watching him, she reached for her soda and sucked

her straw.

Immediately his eyes homed in on her mouth. Huh.

Maybe she’d been wrong

about needing an act of Congress to want sex. She smiled.

And he raised a brow.

She sucked some more soda down. “About that hypnosis I mentioned, to get in

the right mind for sex…”

His eyes dilated. “Distracting me isn’t going to end this conversation,” he said,

voice husky. “You sure?”

His gaze never left her mouth. “Positive. I can’t be distracted. It’s one of my

gifts.”

She was in a position to know that he had other gifts…

Lightly, she ran her

fingers down the straw, then sucked some more.

Jacob let out a shaky breath. “Okay, new plan.”

“Which is?”

“You talk fast, and then we’re going back to my place.”

“To…watch a movie?”

“Guess again.”

A little frisson of heat raced up her spine, something she’d have thought

impossible tonight. “Play a game?”

He smiled, and it was filled with so much fire, she nearly had an orgasm on the

spot. “Sure, we can play a game. How about Seven Minutes in Heaven.”

“I might need more than seven minutes.”

“You can have as many minutes as you want.” He pulled the soda away from

her, and the straw popped out of her mouth with an audible sound that made his

eyes darken even more. “But this first.”

“Damn. You’re so strict.”

“You know,” he said, “I was hoping I could get you out of that quiet, protective

shell you had going, but I didn’t think it would happen at my expense.”

She sipped more of her soda.

Now he out and out grinned, looking so freaking sexy she could hardly stand it.

She had no idea what was wrong with her. She didn’t go back for seconds, much

less thirds, and yet she had a feeling she could have this man every night until

she left for her next destination, and it still wouldn’t be enough.

Jacob gently tapped her forehead with the end of his pencil. “Anyone home?”

“Sorry.”

“The dates,” he said.

Right. “Number one was Bo. Cute, nice, sweet. And too young for me.”

“How young?”

“Like five years.”

“Huh.”

“Huh what?” she asked.

He lifted a broad shoulder. “I doubt he feels too young for you. Next?”

“Seth was number two.” She let out a low, pained breath and fell quiet for a

minute, remembering him with an ache in her chest.
