NICK INHALED. He tried to make the action appear innocent as he slid the key card into the lock, but the sound of his quick intake of breath immediately drew Samantha’s attention. She had to be the most observant woman he’d ever met. While he usually would have admired that trait, right now he was having a damn hard time hiding anything from her, least of all his elemental, inborn response to her standing so close.

Especially with that alluring scent emanating from the shaken box.

“Got a cold?” she asked, her tone just sassy enough to show she was well aware of his attempt to steal a whiff from the box.

“Actually, I am feeling quite warm.”

“Maybe it’s a fever.” She eyed his forehead, but made no move to touch him.

Damn it.

“Maybe it’s just New Orleans.” Maybe it’s just you. He swept his gaze over her once again, as he’d done so many times tonight, and this time he didn’t bother to hide his interest. Why attempt the impossible? “This city gives a whole new definition to the word hot.”

She slid around him when he pushed the door open. Her thigh briefly brushed against his leg, and though he didn’t get a shock this time, the air crackled. His body thrummed.

“Luckily, your room is air-conditioned,” she said oh-so-innocently. “The heat can make people do crazy things.”

He followed her inside, and when she swung around to lock and bolt the door behind him, he had her trapped. God, she was gorgeous.

Their first kiss had been too quick. He hadn’t had enough time to recover from the jolt of pure desire to register all the flavors, or to savor the sensations.

And Nick was a savoring kind of guy.

“What kind of crazy things?” he asked, not really needing an example from her since he was clearly acting the part of the madman, despite the cool temperature in his suite. The aroma from the box was nothing compared to the fresh scent of her butterscotch hair, swept up in a loose twist, elegant in style, but erotically glamorous. He longed to kiss the soft curve of her exposed neck. Taste the extracts seasoning her skin.

“Like thinking you can trap your bodyguard this easily.” Before he could react, she’d twisted and ducked out of his reach, darting into the room to turn on lights and check the closets and bathrooms for uninvited guests.

But she was not as immune to him as he’d thought this afternoon. The coy glances they’d exchanged at the restaurant, her instinctual reaction to his kiss at the Dome, the fire-hot tension simmering during the car ride back to the hotel told him all he needed to know. They may have made a deal to only act
