Gavin was aware of several things all at once. The first was that the lovely little Dahlia was just as attracted to him as he was to her. She was like a little fluttering bird atwitter with want.

The idea made him smile. He’d guess that smile was positively wolfish.

But either because of her brother, her late husband, or perhaps both, he was certain she was resisting that attraction and he had to respect that. He’d be concerned if she wasn’t. Hell, he’d had two years to recover from his loss and his attraction to Dahlia left him with gut-wrenching guilt. So he’d give her the space she needed. He’d waited this long to be with a woman, he could go a little longer.

He wanted a relationship of mutual benefit that ended amicably and quickly. The last of his observations was that she was unprepared for such an arrangement in this moment.

“Mrs. Greenwich, please allow me to escort you to your door. It has been a traumatic few days for you. I should not, in truth, have asked you to dinner. It was insensitive of me, but allow me to help you now.”

Dahlia licked her lips again, her pink tongue trailing along her top lips and he nearly groaned aloud. He was trying to do the right thing, but she was driving him mad. “Very well, I accept.”

He did not let go of her waist, rather, he kept his arm firmly about her, holding her hand in his other, and tucked her hip against his. He thought of the walk to his office earlier and how he’d practically sprinted ahead of her. He’d needed distance then, and in truth he should add some now. How he held her now was intimate and protective and deep in his chest something tightened. This was not just the physical reaction he’d been experiencing in her company. He was…worried for her.

Perhaps a brief affair as he first imagined was a bad idea after all. He was in danger of betraying Amelia’s memory. A day in her company and he was feeling…connected.

“I’ll have the tray sent up straight away and then I insist you go immediately to bed. You need the rest.” He gave her hip the smallest squeeze. This woman was the perfect combination of soft and trim. He ignored the desire this invoked in him, focusing instead on her pale features.

“I will,” she whispered, her lips trembling. “I don’t feel like myself at all.”

He narrowed his gaze and stopped at the bottom of the stairs, placing a hand on her forehead. “You’re quite warm.”

She shook her head. “I’m fine. Just tired and…” Her voice trailed off and then she let out a loud sneeze.

He frowned. He should have ordered out of her wet clothes sooner. Bloody hell. “You are not. You may have caught a summer cold from being drenched by the rain for so long.” Without another word, he swept her into his arms just as he had the first night she’d arrived. Only now, everything was different.
