HE’D TURNED HER DOWN.

The knowledge should have been enough to sway Abby from her current plan, but it wasn’t.She hadn’t made it through boot camp and years of special training by being easily discouraged. When she made up her mind to do something, she did it.

Now was no different.

While Brent had turned her down, he hadn’t wanted to turn her down. He’d wanted to reach out, pull her into his arms and kiss her senseless. She’d seen as much in the stiff set of his muscles. The flare of desire in his eyes. The tense set to his jaw. He’d wanted her, but he’d held back.

He was holding back now.

She watched as he sat behind the steering wheel, his hands clenching the wheel, as if he couldn’t quite decide what to do.

While he might not be able to make up his mind, she’d already made up hers. If putting on a sexy outfit hadn’t been enough to push him past the point of no return, she would just have to try taking it off. Slowly.

She leaned over and flipped on the ancient radio that sat on a nearby table. A turn of the knob and she cleared away the static and tuned in to a local country station. A twangy, sexy Big and Rich song filled her ears and she closed her eyes. The beat filled her head and thrummed through her body. She started to move her hips from side to side. Pushing her arms into the air, she slid her hands beneath her hair and lifted the weight, the same way she’d seen Winona demonstrate during her pole dancing snippet.

The realization that Brent was parked outside, watching her from his car made her heart pound and her blood race. Her body came alive, her nerves buzzing, and her movements grew more seductive as she listened to the lyrics about saving horses and riding cowboys.

She danced for the next few seconds, lost in the rhythm of the song and the seductive edge, until the music finally faded into a slow tune by Faith Hill and Tim McGraw.

Chancing a peek to see if Brent was still watching, she found the car empty. Disappointment rushed through her as she came to a dead stop and stared through the window. And then came the insecurity.

Maybe she’d read him wrong. Heaven knew it wouldn’t be the first time. She’d been so convinced that Hockey Hunk had returned her feelings, so dead set in the notion that he loved her as desperately as she loved him that she’d poured out her feelings that night only to have them thrown back into her face.

There’d been no feelings involved now. Just lust. And pride.

She was such an idiot.

Then and now.

“Don’t stop on my account.” The deep, sultry voice brought her whirling around to find Brent standing in the corner of the room. His eyes gleamed. Tension held his body tight. His muscles bunched beneath his white T-shirt. Taut lines carved his face, making him seem harsh, fierce, predatory.
