“I always win, because I’ll do whatever it takes,” she said. “Remember that?”

Damn it, he did remember. Because he’d said it just a few hours ago. “Yeah, I said it. So what?”

“So what? You expect me to trust you after saying something like that?” Her swollen lips curled in disdain, drawing attention to the lush softness of her mouth.

Gabriel could still feel the heat of her on his mouth. Still taste her. Sweet like honey, dark as red wine. Though they seemed to come from opposite worlds, there was so much more to Jane than met the eye. There were hidden depths to her. Maybe she was as normal as the pretty receptionist who answered phones at some run-down motel, but he doubted it. For one thing, she stood to inherit the whole castle if he wasn’t careful. She had a lineage that his parents’ snobbish social circle would kill to have. Jane’s ancestors were German nobles, for crying out loud. Which was why, even though she stumbled over the finer social graces, she was still as fierce as a warrior and as deft as a politician when it came to defending her claim to the castle. There were knights and grand duchesses in her family tree, and he was starting to see that he would be an idiot to underestimate her.

“Jane, a young woman just died. Do you really think under those circumstances that I’d be that heartless?” he demanded.

“This can’t be the first time you’ve tried to seduce someone to get what you want,” she said, crossing her arms.

“It’s not a habit, but on rare occasions, yes, I have seduced my opponents to get ahead. I seduce opposing lawyers, who are just as invested in seducing me I might add. I don’t go around bedding every woman I come in contact with just to win cases.”

“I’m basically representing myself,” she pointed out. “I can’t afford a lawyer, so I’m all I’ve got. I’ve been reading everything I can about German law, calling up the German embassy, getting translations, going to the library. All of it. I’m your opposing counsel, Gabriel, which basically makes me your number one target.”

Frustration mounted. There was no getting through to her tonight. His jaw clenched. A real pity, because he had enjoyed kissing her. More than enjoyed it. There weren’t a lot of kisses that would burn into his memory the way kissing Jane undoubtedly would. She had been all sweetness and hunger. Insatiable desire wrapped up in one curvy, delectable little package.

He held up his hands. Gabriel had never overstayed his welcome with a woman, and he sure as hell wasn’t going to start now. He’d deal with his raging hard-on in his own damn time. “Sleep well, Jane.”

She lifted her chin, casting him a withering gaze. “Goodnight, Gabriel.”

Without another word, he ducked out of her bedroom and headed into his. The only way to deal with his throbbing erection was to try to sleep it off, so he undressed and got into bed.
