ERIN DEFINITELY didn’t want to talk. Yet that’s what journalists do... and she was going to report on a story, wasn’t she?

All afternoon, her mind scrambled to find ways around being close to him, but gradually, the pull of attraction was stronger than the confusion. It didn’t help that she noticed him watching her with those dreamy eyes of his.

And now that she was in his arms, the confusion was gone, and all she wanted to do was kiss him. He didn’t seem to mind her kissing his neck, so she brushed her lips across his. His wide eyes stayed open, as if curious to what she was doing.

“You know, Cole,” she said softly and she left tiny kisses on his top lip and then his bottom, “as much as a leisure activity would be entertaining about right now, there is something else I’d rather do.”

His eyebrows lifted. “What’s that?”

“Talk.”

He grinned and chuckled. “Talk?”

“Yes.”

“You are one strange woman, Erin DeWitt. I don’t know very many women who want to talk when they can kiss a man passionately.”

Her heart leapt, and she caught her breath. It sounded like he was offering. But no. She wouldn’t give into temptation. Not until she found a good reason to go against her article.

“Why do you want to talk, Erin?”

She gave him a small kiss on the chin. “Because I want to get to know you better.”

“Really?” He lifted his brows again, as if doubting her.

“Is there something wrong with that?”

He cupped her face and ran his thumb over her bottom lip. “Why do you want to get to know me when there are several other men at this resort who are dying to get to know you? These men, I might add, can buy you furs and diamonds.”

She broke the contact and sighed heavily. She struggled to get out of his arms, which he complied. Once her feet were on the ground as the water lapped around her, she folded her arms across her chest. “If you knew me at all, you’d know that’s not what I’m looking for in a man. I have found that men with money don’t know how to love a woman the way I want to be loved.” Heat rushed to her face as anger sneaked in. It always did when she thought about Steve.

She took a deep breath to calm her temper. Letting her mouth run away right now was not a good idea. “Those other men you’re referring to,” she continued in softer tones, “are not my type at all. I have no interest in them... which you’d be able to clearly see if you were paying attention.”

Humor left Cole’s face as his eyes grew softer than before. Her heart skipped a beat. Apparently, he must have liked what she said. Excitement ran through her from his reaction.

He stepped closer to and cupped her face. She slipped her arms around his waist to keep him there.

“Are you trying to tell me,” he said huskily, “that I am your type of man?”

Within seconds, her breathing grew ragged and volcanic heat consumed her.
