Alec’s imagination wouldn’t stop drifting to what might have happened if Joe hadn’t walked into his shop when he did. His lips still felt the soft skin of Iris’s neck, her shoulder, wanting to seek out the mounds of her breasts and lower still. Watching her from across the table in their booth, he undressed her, piece by piece, until she was naked before him. Thank God they had chosen a table to sit at tonight so he didn’t have to try and hide the bulging erection in his pants. He shifted again on the seat, trying to ease the strain, but when Iris sipped her beer and licked a few drops from her lips, it grew worse and he cursed.

“Problems?” she asked with a crooked grin.

“Around you, always,” he grunted and took a drink from his beer. “So the other day, when you were talking to Joe, I overheard him say something about a shop you used to own.” Her shoulders sagged and she nodded, playing with the label on her beer. “What happened to it?”

“That closed-down store next to Joe’s place? That was it,” she said quietly. “My dad’s antique store. He loved that place, loved finding treasures from all over the northern states and bringing them to Lundy. I was always a lot like him.” She stared past Alec towards the windows, and her eyes took on a faraway look. “We both wanted to discover what was out there. He was easier, though. He just wanted to find and save antiques. Me, I wanted to go out and dig them up myself.”

“Why aren’t you out on some dig then?” he asked. “Finding mummies or whatever.”

Her smile was sad and quickly turned bitter. “Sam got cancer while I was in college, and it hit us all hard. I stayed to help run the shop and the museum so they could be there for him, but when they died…” She choked on the words and wiped at her eyes. “When they died, I took over the shop and did my best to keep it running, but I just couldn’t do it.”

Alec reached across the table for her hand and squeezed it. “I’m sorry,” he said, and she covered his hand with her other one.

“I hated that damn shop, hated that I was trapped here because of my brother, because of them, but now that it’s gone, all I want is to have it back.”

“If you need a loan or something, I could help you,” he offered. “The gun ranges bring in a hefty profit, and I have a huge trust fund I’ve barely even scratched the surface of.”

“No,” she said firmly, her eyes hardening. “I won’t take charity.”

“It wouldn’t be,” he argued gently. “It’d be a loan of some sort. We could work out a partnership. Please think about it.” He felt her pulling away and reached across the table to turn her back to face him. “It’s not charity, Iris. Not even close.”

“Then why would you risk it?” she asked quietly.
