With her stomach in free fall, Sienna wrapped her arms around Ethan’s neck and let herself get swept up. They’d been moving toward this moment since he sat down beside her on the front steps of his grandfather’s house. Her chest tightened, limiting the amount of air she could pull into her lungs. She knew it was foolish to feel as if she’d known him forever when in fact, they had met less than a week ago. Yet she found herself reading his mind and noticing every shift of emotion that crossed his expression.

He set her down beside the bed and gave the bow of her wrap dress a gentle tug. The garment fell open as the belt came undone, exposing the satin and lace she wore beneath it. He eased the fabric off her shoulders and sent the dress arcing across the room toward the chair in the corner.

Dipping his head, he grazed his lips over her earlobe, and rumbled, “You are so damn gorgeous.”

Men had called her beautiful before, but she took their words with a grain of salt. Ethan’s compliment sent vivid emotions blazing through her. Her desperate need to believe him made her surrender her power. She could only hope he’d handle her with care.

“Of course it is.” Suddenly, she was shivering in the air-conditioned space, awash in discomfort as she stood before him in the silk lingerie she’d purchased with him in mind. “Unless you don’t want to.”

With a husky laugh he eased his palms along the delicate fabric, riding the curve of her hip and indent of her waist. Up and up to the outer curve of her breasts. She’d forgone a bra and his thumbs whisked over her hard nipples, eliciting a low cry.

“I’ll always want to.”

Always struck her as a definitive word, suggesting something more complicated than scratching a sexual itch. Panic fluttered in the back of her mind like a trapped bird. This was just supposed to be an easy and fun romp before she went back to New York City.

Shutting down her mind, she lifted one hand to his sun-bronzed biceps and flattened her other palm over his heart. “Make love to me, Ethan.”

He stroked the thin straps of her slip off her shoulder. The
