through
him, all the way to his soul. He ran his hands over her and into her hair.
      Feeling her tremble, he pulled back before he
lost the last bit of his self control . But he
couldn't make himself release her. Instead he leaned his brow against hers, and
tried to even his breathing.
      Kayley could barely hear anything above her
racing heart. She was glad he didn't let her go, because she doubted her legs
could hold her right now.
      "I have to get back to the resort,"
Nathan said.
      "Okay."
    But he stayed as he was a
little longer.
      Feeling him straighten she looked up at him.
He was watching her intently, with deep unreadable eyes. Then he slowly lowered
his mouth to hers, and kissed her gently this time. Releasing her, he stepped
back quickly.
      "See you tomorrow." He hurried out,
before he could reach for her again.
    Kayley stayed where she
was, leaning her back against the wall. Her heart was still racing and her
breathing was labored, but at least her legs were holding. She heard his car
drive off, and closed her eyes. The man was a loaded gun, she decided. She'd
never been so churned up in her life. Opening her eyes again, she looked around
the room. Apparently the world was still standing.
      And then she spotted the package. Who would
send her anything, and what could it possibly be. Curious, she pushed away from
the wall, and remembered to close the door, before picking it up. It was quite
small, she thought, and barely prevented herself from shaking it to hear what
was inside. She opened it quickly and removed the isolation wrapping. Inside it
was a small black compact rectangular thing, that Kayley had no idea what was. Then she saw the paper still in the box. Picking
it up, she read the scribbled lines.
      Sorry sis.
      I hoped it wouldn't get to this.
      Joe
      Her
stomach clenched as she read it again and again. Her brother. She hadn't heard
from him in nearly a year. What was he sorry about? It didn't sound like it was
the lack of communication. Wouldn't get to what? she thought. She checked the box to see if she had missed anything. She hadn't.
      Picking up the black thing, she studied it
again. It looked like a computer thing. Which she knew nothing about, since she
didn't own one, and had only tried using one a couple of times. Laying the
paper and the thing on the kitchen counter, she cleared away the box.
      This was a truly odd day, she thought. First
she'd been kissed brainless by an outrageously attractive male. Then she'd
received a mystery package from her brother.
      And as if that wasn't enough, tomorrow she
was going to San Francisco with the outrageously attractive male in a
helicopter. A helicopter! What was going on. Feeling
overwhelmed she decided to do the one thing that had always helped her. She
painted.

      She was
nervous. And she hated being nervous. There was about ten minutes until Nathan
was supposed to arrive, and she had run out of things to do thirty minutes ago.
And that was even though she'd had a huge wardrobe crisis. What did you wear
when you were flying in a helicopter to San Francisco, with what had to be one
of the hottest men on the plane? And not the sleek Hollywood hot, but the rough
unpolished hot of a predator. In the end Kayley had decided to go for casual
black slacks, a green top and a matching cardigan.
      She heard a car pull up in front of her
house, and felt her stomach clench. Okay, she told herself, just relax and
breathe deeply. Then she forgot everything about breathing as a knock sounded
on the door. She hurried over to open it. And there he stood dressed in casual
black pants and a white T-shirt. He looked so handsome, she thought, tall and well built with his dark hair curling lightly around his
face, and those deep
