Chapter 7

York leaned back against the closed door and watched as Darcy moved around his living room. It was as if she was fascinated by each and every thing she saw, whether it was the furniture, the paintings on the wall or the large potted plants he had strategically arranged to get the optimum amount of sun. Then there was the sea view from every window.

He had bought the home when it had been in foreclosure and never regretted doing so. It was his haven, his escape when he'd found himself working too hard and needing playtime. He liked spending time on the water and owned a Jet Ski that he enjoyed taking out every chance he got.

“This place is beautiful, York, and the view of the ocean is simply breathtaking.”

“Thanks.” He smiled, pleased with her assessment of his home. He was a man who really never cared what others thought of his possessions, but knowing she liked this place filled him with something he'd never felt before. It was then that he realized he had never brought a woman here. Usually his time spent at this place was what he considered as “me” time—his time alone to unwind and enjoy the beach that was literally in his backyard.

He studied her as she continued to look out one of his floor-to-ceiling windows and thought she was breathtaking, as well. That short dress had practically undone him the moment he'd seen her in it.

If she was, then she knew those thoughts were salacious, indecent at best, highly X-rated. Even now he was wondering what was or wasn't under her dress.

He drew in a long breath when their gazes held, and the silence between them was becoming noticeably long. It wouldn't take much to cross the room, lift that short dress and take her just where she stood.

It was she who finally broke the silence by asking, “How long have you owned the house?”

“A few years. I always wanted a place on the island, and when I heard about it I couldn't pass up the chance to get it. It's my escape from reality. I've been a beach bum here a time or two.”

“Why are you staying at the hotel when you have this place?”

He moved away from the door. “I'm on the island working, and I need to be in the thick of things.”

“Oh.”

He knew his words reminded her of his allegations about Felder. She tilted back her head, stared at him and asked, “Why
