Chapter Seven

MECHANICALY, Glenna changed out of her clothes into her turquoise green nightgown and matching satin robe. Too many things were running through her mind, leaving no room to think of sleep. She moved restlessly around the room, slipping in to check on her father half a dozen times.

Her head was pounding with the effort to find a solution. Two thoughts kept reoccurring in her mind. One was her father's insistence that Jett Coulson had been their only possible source of help. The second was the remark Jett had made to her early that morning about how easy his decision would have been if she had wanted a merger with him.

Pressing a hand to her forehead, Glenna tried to rationally think out her problem. Jett was attracted to her. That was an indisputable fact. He had made his decision on a purely business basis, but what if she appealed to him on a personal level? How much influence did she have? Could she persuade him to reconsider?

When the barrage of silent questions stopped, a calmness settled over her. She had to find out. For the sake of her father, she had to try. With a course of action chosen, Glenna moved to carry it out.

The hotel corridor was empty when she ventured into it. She walked swiftly to the door of Jett's suite and knocked lightly on it. Only at that second did she consider the possibility that he might not be alone—or that he might not even be there. The turning of the latch eliminated the last. When Jett opened the door a glance past him found no one else in the sitting room.

He stood in the opening, one hand holding the door and the other resting on the frame. Under the steadiness of his gaze, Glenna couldn't find her voice. Taking his time, he let his gaze travel over the draping fabric of her robe as it outlined the jutting curves of her breasts and hips. In a strictly defensive reaction to his visual assault, her hand moved to finger the satin ribbon that secured the front of her robe.

Without saying a word Jett opened the door wider and moved out of the way. Her hesitation was brief before she glided past him into the sitting room. She pivoted around to face him when she heard the click of the door latch. He was wearing the same pale gray striped shirt he'd had on this afternoon, hut the sleeves were rolled up to expose his tanned forearms.

"It occurred to me that you might come to see me." Instead of walking to her, he went to a table strewn with papers that he'd obviously been working on, and half sat on the edge.

"Then you know why I'm here." Her voice came out husky.

There was a pack of cigarettes amid the stacks of papers. Jett removed one from the pack and lighted it. "You came to see if you couldn't persuade me to reconsider your father's proposal." He sounded so distant that Glenna unconsciously moved closer to him.
