Dimly she heard him say, Mrs. Brant, but she was mesmerized by the sight of his bare chest. He was tan, muscled, and extremely fit. When she realized how she was staring, she blinked, blushed and looked up to meet a curious gaze. “Come in,” he said in a husky voice that ignited desire.

When she stepped inside, he closed the door and put his hand on it over her head, blocking her and standing entirely too close.

The man could still befuddle her as much as he had when they were kids. Her pulse was racing, and she couldn’t breathe and that marvelous male chest was inches in front of her. And she was aware of her size, too.

“I seem to remember,” he drawled in a sexy, husky voice that sent tingles rippling along her nerves, “that you said something to the effect that never in the next two lifetimes would you be alone in a hotel room with me.”

“I was wrong. You’ve turned my life upside-down.”

He traced his finger along her cheek to her ear and then down across her throat. “I think I’m the one whose life is topsy-turvy. I expected one thing and here I have another. I want to know you, Ashley, to know everything about you—what you like to eat, what you like to read, what you do for fun. I want to kiss and touch you and feel the electricity that sizzles between us.”

He caressed her throat in the barest of touches, yet it made her pulse jump. “I’ll tell you what,” he said softly. “I don’t know whether my new wife can cook. I don’t know whether you can sew. But I know you can kiss a man into spontaneous combustion.”

“Can I?” she asked, slanting him a look. She stepped closer and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Let’s see how long it takes me, Gabe.” She closed her eyes and kissed him. For one brief second, she realized she had taken him by surprise. Then his arm banded her, and he held her and kissed her passionately.

Her heart pounded and all her qualms and fears fell away. She wanted this tall, sexy cowboy who could set her heart pounding, who was decisive and thrilling and handsome.

In seconds their breathing was ragged, and then she leaned back. “Slow down. We rushed into marriage. We’re not rushing into anything else.”

He smiled at her and ran his finger along her jaw. “Whatever you want,” he said in a husky voice and stepped away.

She walked across the sitting room of his suite. Looking around, she saw that the room was very much like hers with cherrywood furniture, a large television, a bar, an adjoining bed and bath. Floor-to-ceiling windows ran around two sides of the corner room, giving a view on one side of the patio and pool area and on the other of tennis courts and a putting green. She turned around as he buckled his belt and then yanked his T-shirt over his head, his muscles rippling.
