Ashling felt exposed. And acutely aware of how her body was responding to Zach’s. She realised she’d not listed one sophisticated pursuit. She sounded like a teenager.

Desperately wanting to deflect Zach’s attention from her, she asked abruptly, ‘What do you do to relax?’

An image popped into her head of Zach in a heaving nightclub, his eyes focused on her as the music pounded like waves around them. He’d be in a T-shirt and worn jeans...the material clinging to his taut muscles. His hands would reach for her, lifting her so that she could wrap her legs around his waist, and he’d be kissing her so deeply that she’d feel it in the centre of her body—

Zach’s voice broke through the fever haze in Ashling’s mind. ‘I go to the gym. I run. I like good whisky. I have a motorbike...but I can’t remember the last time I took it out.’

Now the image of him in worn jeans in a nightclub was replaced by an image of Zach on a motorbike, dressed in worn leathers...a white T-shirt. Stubble on his chin. That brooding look on his face.

Ashling swallowed. ‘Maybe you should take it out soon.’

He looked at her, and for a second she thought she saw something wistful in his expression before it disappeared. ‘Maybe I will.’

Terrified that Zach would see how much he was affecting her, Ashling muttered something about the bathroom and pulled free of his embrace to leave the dance floor, her limbs shaky with need.

When she returned she expected Zach to be surrounded again, but he stood a little way off to the side of the crowd. Ashling’s heart squeezed. He looked very...alone.

And then she castigated herself for being so soft. Zach was not someone who invited sympathy. If he was alone it was because he chose to be—because he was brilliant and ruthless and intolerant of anyone who couldn’t keep up with him. And yet she knew it wasn’t that simple...

He was far too enigmatic. That was the problem.

As if hearing her thoughts, he turned around in that moment. She picked her way carefully over to him. High heels and grass didn’t really mix. When she was about a foot away her heel caught and she pitched forward with a little cry. Landing straight into Zach’s arms.

A spark of electricity zinged between them. Ashling’s breath stopped. For an infinitesimal moment the possibility that Zach would pull her closer, lower his head, seemed to hang in the air... But even as Ashling made a telling movement towards him he was pushing her back, steadying her.

Her face burned and she was glad they were somewhat in the shadows, which were disguising her humiliation. There might be an attraction between them, but it wasn’t so overpowering that Zach couldn’t resist it. And it would only be because she was a novelty to someone who came from this world.

Exactly as her mother had been to her father. Until he’d realised that her zest for life and her hippyish tendencies wouldn’t fit into his world.
