Chapter Eleven

FIVE HOURS LATER, her fingers cramped and almost numb, Chelsea dropped the controller on the coffee table. She didn’t try to repress her giddiness.

“That was incredible!” Outside, the sun had set, the orange glow bathing the mountains in a warm light. “I can’t believe we played all afternoon! It feels like we sat down ten minutes ago.”

Next to her, Adam set down his controller. “Only if one of us were capable of traveling at the speed of light.”

He stood and stretched, the movement lifting his white T-shirt and treating her to another glimpse of his golden, muscled skin. Her mouth watered at the sight, and she had to swallow to avoid an embarrassing drooling incident. Her response to him no longer surprised her. She glanced up and their eyes met. The air between them thickened. Without breaking the visual contact, he lowered his arms and his tongue darted out to moisten his bottom lip. Her nipples tightened and tingled, blood rushing to all parts of her body.

Dammit. It’s like the time she spent lecturing herself hadn’t happened. It would be so easy to give in to it, in to him. Especially now that she’d had a taste of him. Knew how intoxicating his kiss could be. Knew how strong he was, how being held in his arms made her feel sexy and desired. But it couldn’t happen again, and the fact that she was still obsessing over it made her question her once-dependable sanity. She had a job to do. And as much as she’d come to like him, she’d been working toward this partnership for a long time. Once this was over, she would go back to her job and never see Adam again.

She ignored the twinge that thought engendered. It didn’t matter how she felt or how she’d enjoyed the day or how much she reveled in his kisses. She needed to keep her goal in mind. She was here to get him ready for the project launch.

And they’d lost an entire day because she’d let him distract her from her goal.

“Well, that was fun, but I’m starving. I’m going to head back to my house and grab something to eat. Good night.”

“Wait.”

He reached out and grabbed her hand as she started to walk away. Jolts of electricity tingled up and down her arm at the contact. She looked at their joined hands, at his strong fingers gripping hers, before peering up into his face.

His eyes were dark and intense as they stared at her. He was so gorgeous; she could look at his face forever. She wondered whimsically if this was some sort of trial. Was the universe testing her to see if she really wanted this promotion? Was he the pond’s reflection and she Narcissus? Would she spend all of her time looking at him as things around her changed and died, like her career focus and goals?

She flexed her fingers and he dropped her hand. Her body wept at the loss of contact.

“Our day isn’t over,” he said, his voice thick and husky.
