Chapter Four

Instead of heading through an interior entrance to Roman’s building’s lobby, they had to return to the February freeze for a brisk walk to his front door. For the first time that night, she felt blessed to have the shot of iciness to chill her. Anything to halt the melting mess his words ignited in her.

Every inch and sweet curve…

He let go of her hand so he could key in his entry to the building.

Grant every sin…

With his voice naturally deep and husky, she’d always had to second guess whether he’d been hitting on her when picking her up and driving her. Now she knew. As she followed him into the warmth of his bare lobby, she knew the difference.

When Roman flirted with her over that antique table and put erotically charged and open-ended possibilities in her head, he’d lowered that sexy voice into something of a caress. A skillful torment that only dragged her deeper and deeper into wanting him.

Wanting Roman. Her chauffeur—no, her friend. How could he simply be a friend?

“This way,” he directed as he went for the elevator around a corner.

She stepped into the elevator, still unable to meet his eyes, and took a deep breath. “What about what you deserve?”

Of all things to say or ask, it shot out of her lips first.

His finger paused midway to the buttons on the panel, and he pivoted to face her. “What do you mean?”

She stepped back to the wall to brace herself from his dark and smoldering stare.

“For tonight?” In general? How can he not be taken? Already invited to Valentine’s with some lucky woman? Why is he being so damn sweet to a … former client?

He smiled then, gently, and resumed calling for his floor. Then he shrugged, not glancing over to her again. “I only planned to eat dinner and catch up on some book stuff. Admin. Emails.”

And she’d be keeping him from it. Part of her anticipated him continuing with the spell he’d cast on her after their meal. Hinting at intimacy and all kinds of nakedness.

Maybe he really was just being rhetorical. And sweet. And sexy. And—

“I don’t want to interfere.” She pulled her coat tighter together, seeking some comfort in at least its warmth. Being left to herself and her own devices wouldn’t be anything new. Six months of basically being single in engagement readied her for lonely nights. She wasn’t sure how much more loneliness could suck when she’d, in fact, be near another man, at his place.

Especially after him taunting her with the ideal of a man she could only wish existed for her.

A man she’d long thought might be … him.

“Interfere?” He flinched back and faced her then. “Never.” The single step he took toward her swayed her into desperation for more. More of those sensual words and heavy gazes. “Why don’t you try to have your comfy night after all? I don’t have any PJs, but I’ll find something to get you out of that dress.”

She inhaled sharply, and his lips stilled.
