don’t want the boss man. Maybe
I find the boss man a little overwhelming,” she countered.
    He grinned, his face once more
transforming from intensely breathtaking to stop-your-heart charming.
    Bethany realized in that moment she
wanted to see more of that smile. Not that the intense didn’t have its
benefits. It was just that she feared for her cardiac functionality if he kept
up with that electrifying intensity.
    “I’ll go slow, I promise.”
    Somehow the husky entreaty didn’t allay
her fears. But she found herself nodding all the same.
    “Soooo? Have you had the tour yet?”
    She refocused as Keely’s question
pierced her thoughts.
    “No. He’s coming to get me in five
minutes.” A small shiver went through her. A quick glance in the bathroom
mirror showed the excitement in her eyes. Whirling, she made her way back into
her small living room, all the while willing her pulse to slow.
    It was just a tour of the plane; part
of the normal Indigo Lounge service. Nothing else.
    Yeah,
right.
    “Remember I need photographic
evidence.”
    “I don’t think I’m allowed to take
pictures of the plane’s interior.”
    “Not of the plane, dummy. Of Mr.
Sexy-And-Reclusive.”
    “Oh.” Bethany frowned. “I can’t just
take a picture of him, Keel.”
    “Of course you can. You just have to
wait until he’s passed out from you fucking his brains out.”
    Bethany laughed then jumped when she
heard the knock on her door.
    “He’s here. I have to go,” she
whispered then cringed at the breathlessness in her voice.
    “Go. Have fun. Don’t spend one second
thinking of your sex-deprived friend.”
    Bethany stopped with her hand on the
door. “Right. Remind me again which of us has had more sex in the last month
than the other’s had in the last year?”
    Keely’s smug laugh rang in her ears.
“Guilty!”
    “If I didn’t love you so much, I’d want
to kill you.” She blew a kiss down the line, hung up and opened her door.
    Zach Savage leaned against the
doorjamb, looking dangerously gorgeous. His angled body made the material of
his T-shirt stretch sensuously over a sculpted chest and ripped stomach.
Following the grooves and landscape of his body made her mouth dry.
    She forced her gaze upward before she could
move from merely observing to downright ogling then bit back a gasp when she
met his stunning eyes again.
    He quirked a brow at her, grey eyes
scrutinizing her from head to toe before trapping her gaze. With that one
single look, he made her whole body tingle wildly.
    “Ready?” he asked.
    Bethany was certain he was asking about
more than just the tour.
    Was she ready for whatever was in store
for her?
    You
need to move on. Forget Chris-A-Hole and his newfound love of anal of the male
variety.
    She sucked in a breath, both to sooth
the pain in her heart and to gird her loins.
    When she nodded, Zach straightened and
held out a hand. A feeling of inevitability washed over her as she stepped next
to him and placed her hand in his.

 
    Chapter Four

 
    “So, who’s had more sex in the last
month than you’ve had in the last year?”
    He dropped the question so casually
that she stumbled halfway up the stairs to the upper deck.
    Zachary caught her arm just below the
elbow and steadied her. As if she didn’t have enough to contend with, now she
looked like a klutz. Which in turn annoyed her.
    She faced him on the stairs, another
shock exploding in her belly when her eyes clashed with his. “You were
eavesdropping?”
    “I was waiting for you to answer your
door. You chose to say that within my earshot,” he answered without a hint of
remorse, as his eyes did that raking over her face thing she found hot and
unnerving.
    “Even if that’s what happened, don’t
you think it’s a bit inappropriate to repeat a private conversation?”
    His lips firmed as he rested a hand on
the railing a single inch from hers. “Maybe, but I can’t un-hear what I heard,
Bethany. And I told you, I’m not good at
