CHAPTER SEVEN

Stone splashed water on his face and stared into the bathroom mirror. What was it about Indiana Lane that had him sweating like a damn teenager every time he was in her presence? For God’s sake, he was a thirty-three year old man, way past the sweating and trembling stage. Was he regressing? That made him smile at his own reflection. That was a laugh. It must be the setting, all the way out here in this wilderness as Indie had called it. He couldn’t remember reacting this strongly to a woman. Not since high school, anyway.

But now here he was, totally captivated by the woman with the emerald green eyes. And that was why, when he’d seen that opening, he hadn’t been able to resist asking her over. At her place he’d acted nonchalant, like he’d already ordered dinner and everything was arranged. No such thing. He’d had to send a message to Cook real fast to fix a special dinner for two. Luckily, he already had wine chilling in the fridge.

He grabbed a towel and dried his face then headed for the living room. He hadn’t been kidding when he said he needed to tidy up before Indie got there. He wasn’t the neatest of souls and his mind immediately went to his mother. She’d been at him since he’d been able to understand the words 'pick up your clothes'. Where that was concerned, he was still a failure. Sorry, Mom.

At twenty minutes before six Cook’s packages of food arrived. Stone slipped them into the oven to keep them warm then he went and got dressed in dark slacks and a creamy silk shirt. At three minutes before the hour of six there was another knock at the door and the long-awaited lady stood there looking elegant in gray slacks and a peach-colored top that showed off her bare shoulders.

“Welcome.” He held the door open for her and as she stepped past, her perfume brought back memories of that first night they’d dined together. That night she’d looked exquisite, like a perfectly painted porcelain doll. Tonight was different. Tonight she looked relaxed, natural and so inviting. He wanted to bend down and press his lips to the smooth skin of her shoulder then to her collarbone, her neck, then her lips.

He began to grow hard again and he had to step back and take a deep breath. What was with him tonight? Just the sight of her, her fragrance, had him thinking crazy thoughts. She fit so well into this earthy, untamed setting that his thoughts ran to things hot and wild – like her, straddling his hips and making mad love to him.

Stone shook his head. If he didn’t slow down he was going to get himself in a whole lot of trouble.

“So,” he said, shoving his hands deep into his pockets, “welcome to my home.”

“You already said that.” She gave him a look of amusement then her eyes scanned the room. “You were right. It looks just like my place.
