Emma watched his face closely, and though he didn’t answer right away, he didn’t look away, didn’t flinch. Both good signs.

Good, if she was going to believe that any of this was actually happening to her. Because it was a far more plausible scenario that she’d just fallen asleep in front of the fire upstairs and was dreaming this entire sequence. Although, even in her dreams she was generally a pretty pragmatic sort. And in Emma Lafferty’s basic, straightforward world, men like Trevor Hamilton simply did not fall all over themselves to seduce her. Hell, she’d have passed out in a dead faint if he’d even smiled at her. Under normal circumstances anyway. These circumstances were far from normal.

And she’d dealt with him in a way she likely wouldn’t have in any real-world scenario. Or maybe she would have. Hard to say. What she wouldn’t have done was flirted with him. Or played up to him. Either for personal or professional gain. That’s not who she was.

And here he was, essentially trying to get her to believe the same of him. She had no reason not to believe him. Except he was hot. Rich. And was here for reasons he hadn’t been quite honest about. Not that it was necessarily her business. But, for the next eleven days, this house and everything in it was her business. Which made what he was doing here her business.

“If you’re the up-front person you say you are, who just happens to be finding himself completely swept away by my stunning beauty and incredible wit, then tell me why you’re here. I won’t go running to Lionel. It’s really none of my concern. I know I’m being nosy just asking. But I’m guessing you don’t want Lionel to know. So…you trust me with your secret. And I’ll trust that you’re not distracting me with all this seductive smoke and mirrors, so I won’t notice or care if you rob your uncle blind.”

He smiled then. “You really need to stop underselling yourself. You are stunning and incredible.”

“I was not fishing for compliments.”

“I know. Which is part of what compels me about you. I don’t think I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting a stunning, witty beauty who doesn’t give a rat’s ass what I think about her.”

He tugged her closer again, and she had to admit she was quite liking being in his personal space. It was disarming and disconcerting, all at the same time. Which might also be part of his plan. Keep her in a pheromone-induced fog, sweet talk her into doing exactly what he wanted, believing whatever he told her.

Only he didn’t seem to be spinning any tales, even if he was making her head spin.

“So, it’s my complete lack of tact that attracts you? Along with the babbling and other imperfections? I really have apparently been going about the whole attracting guys thing entirely the wrong way.”

“So…does that mean there isn’t a guy? At the moment?”

“I realize we haven’t exactly made
