CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

Rachel couldn’t help herself—she kept stealing glances at him. At first, she’d convinced herself it was everything to do with Matthew looking over the blueprints for the original lodge, and absolutely nothing to do with him or the way that a lock of his chocolate brown hair kept falling forward across his brow.

I also like touching beautiful things. And this man is magnificent.

Her fingers itched to slip his glasses from his face, then gently brush his hair away so she could take in his devilish, coffee-colored eyes. Her lips had other ideas about what they would like to do to Matthew’s face. To his skin. To his entire naked body.

Chocolate. Coffee. She couldn’t get past the whole food fetish thing when it came to him.

Memories of taking his cock into her mouth and working him over until she eventually brought him to completion had Rachel pushing back her chair, snatching up her phone, and hurriedly leaving the room. “I have to get some fresh air.”

It was getting dark outside in the parking lot, she stopped and took a deep calming breath. Getting involved with Matthew had been a mistake.

I can’t even allow myself a “no complications hot fling” without it coming back to bite me on the ass. Nope, stop thinking about asses.

Mister Matthew Royal had a fine ass. Every time she’d woken beside him in his bed and brushed her fingertips over the firm muscle, he’d rolled over, flipped her onto her back and within seconds had buried himself deep in her greedy, needy sex.

She was going to have to find a way to work with him without the constant fear of giving into temptation; of outright throwing all caution to the wind and jumping Matthew’s bones.

Rachel’s cell buzzed and she startled. She glanced at the screen. UNKNOWN CALLER. Normally she would have let such a call go straight to voicemail, but curiosity got the better of her, and she answered it.

“Hello.”

“Will you accept a collect call from inmate Scott Davilla at Ware State Prison, Georgia?”

Rachel’s vision blurred as her stomach dropped. Her father was calling. That could only mean bad news. He hadn’t spoken to her since the mid-point of the trial, refusing all her calls and efforts to talk. And now he was the one reaching out.

“Yes, I will take the call.”

There was a crackle and a click on the line, then a voice spoke. One she had not heard in a long time. “Rachel, are you there?”

“Yes.”

She didn’t want to call him Dad. Refusing to acknowledge their familial link was the only way she’d been able to stay sane over the past year.

“I hear you’re up in Aspen and have changed your name.”

“Yes, I am. And yes, I did. I’ve taken grandma’s maiden name. It’s all legal and court approved.”

Rachel speared her fingers through her hair. The empty parking lot was her only form of solace. No one else could hear this stilted, awkward conversation.

“I spoke to your sister. She tells me that she and Dan are not getting a divorce.
