CHAPTER SIX

LUC DIDN’T SLEEP at all. He spent the entire time tossing and turning and trying to ignore the fact that he was hard as hell for a woman who was off-limits.

Engaged. Personal assistant.

Though, he had to admit that her revelations about her fiancé had put a new and morally interesting spin on the engagement.

Clint hadn’t been faithful to her. And really, in his opinion, she shouldn’t marry him. And he had a feeling she would arrive at the same conclusion. But for now, she was still wearing the ring and that felt... Well, considering his past it was a complication he couldn’t ignore.

Which meant he would continue to ignore the hard-on. Particularly difficult in the morning. He gritted his teeth and went to his suitcase, tugging out a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, putting them on as quickly as possible. He wasn’t going to shower. He would only end up thinking of her. And he would end up doing something he would probably regret. Their employer/employee relationship might be able to survive an ill-advised kiss, but if he let himself get off at the thought of her, if he made fantasizing about her acceptable that would be a can of worms that was hard to close.

He snagged his phone off his nightstand and saw a warning banner on the lock screen. He entered his passcode and opened it.

“Dammit,” he said, walking out into the living area. “Amelia,” he said, belatedly realizing that he probably should have gotten his arousal under control before he tried to be in the same room as her.

“What?” She emerged from the bathroom, freshly showered, her cheeks pink, damp hair curling around her face. She was wearing a sweater that looked as if it might have started life as a blanket, and a pair of tan pants with leather patches on the knees. In short, she should look sort of ridiculous, and she didn’t. She was still sexy, even dressed as some insane version of a jockey.

“There is a weather-related issue. I’m going to call the airport.”

“A weather-related issue?” She scurried to the window and swore. “I should say so!”

He followed her line of vision, looked outside at the swirling white flurries that were falling down. “It doesn’t look promising.”

A few moments later, he’d confirmed that it wasn’t good. “Planes are grounded today,” he said. “Even if we could take off from here, we can’t land in New York.”

“What! But...tomorrow is Christmas Eve and...and I am going to kill you! I’m being hyperbolic but...but seriously, Luc, all I wanted was Christmas and now I am stuck in freaking Colorado with you! And you won’t even kiss me!”

“Because I can’t control the weather, and because kissing would be a bad idea.”

“Sure,” she said. “If I don’t get home for Christmas I am going to be unhappy. And,” she said, looking at him defiantly, “I’m going to sing.”

“What?”

“If I am here on Christmas Eve I am going to sing all night. I’m going to sing about
