work.
    “ Damn, that man is all
kinds of fine.”
    Allowing herself one more ogle of the
fineness that climbed a ladder, Aida forced herself to walk away
from the view and focus on the projects at hand she had to
complete. The pounding of a hammer brought a smile to her face as
she worked.
    “ Well, Smythe was right
about one thing; it is kind of nice to have a man
around.”
    About two hours later, Aida walked out into
the blazing sun and moved to the ladder. She licked her lips as she
stared at Dane. “How about a break?” she hollered up to him.
    He lifted his head and looked down at her.
“Sounds good to me.”
    She bit back a groan as he backed down the
ladder. “I have some cold drinks set up in the shade as well as
some cookies.”
    Dane smiled and wiped some of the sweat off
his face. “Thank you.”
    They walked side by side,
and Aida couldn’t stop sneaking sidelong glances at him. His skin
shone with the sweat he’d gotten from working in the sweltering
sun. The drops ran over the defined muscles, and she bit back a
whimper. Never had she felt such a strong attraction to a man
before. And it wasn’t just a sexual one. There was a deeper
connection between them she didn’t fully understand. Not sure I want to pursue that either.
    In the shade, he used his discarded shirt to
wipe the moisture from his face. Aida watched from the corner of
her eye as she poured him a tall glass of water.
    “ Thank you,” he said,
taking a long drink. “Oh, that hit the spot.” Dane lowered his
powerful body into a chair and stretched out his jean encased legs.
He reached for a cookie and ate it.
    “ Don’t push it. I don’t
need you to collapse on me here,” she said, only partially teasing.
In truth, she couldn’t take her eyes off the way his mouth moved.
Her pussy throbbed.
    “ Won’t give me
CPR?”
    She shook her head. “That’s not it. There’s
not a hospital within miles of here. And while I know I’m strong,
even I highly doubt I could lift you into my vehicle to get you
there.”
    He arched a brow at her.
“So you would give me CPR.” A sex-infused grin filled his
features.
    Running her tongue over
her top teeth, Aida picked up her glass, took a sip, and nodded.
“Yes, I’d give you CPR.” Quite
happily.
    He toasted her with his own glass. “That’s
good to know.” Dane smiled at her, and she shivered with
longing.
    Unable to form a sentence,
Aida just kept the rim up to her lips and allowed a tiny stream of
water to pour into her mouth. This man, this mysterious man, called
to her in ways she didn’t even want to begin to explore. Liar! Her brain called
her on her bluff. His intense eyes held hers as she drank. They
flared with concentrated passion when she lowered the empty glass
and licked the remaining moisture off her lips.
    “ I should get back to
work,” he uttered before rising to his feet. “I’m almost done with
the roof.”
    Almost done? Damn! That
would have taken me a hell of a lot longer. “Thank you for fixing it. Can I help in any way? I feel bad
bringing you out here and using you like this.”
    Her breath caught in the back of her throat
when his gaze pinned her. If she’d thought the passion in them
before had been intense, she was wrong. It was like comparing a
summer breeze to a typhoon. The heat in his eyes seared her from
the inside out, setting her blood boiling. Dane licked his lips as
he continued to stare, and she had to struggle not to squirm under
his gaze.
    “ My pleasure,” he purred
in a tone that sounded an awful lot like a promise. Then he
left.

Chapter Three

    Dane rolled his head on
his neck as he stood up on the roof. Done! He hadn’t lied to Aida; he
loved working with his hands. It was one of the reasons he loved
his cabin so much. He’d built it himself. To him, it was more of a
home than larger dwellings. It was made for him, to his
specifications, and that he’d done it himself added to his comfort.
He liked doing this for her. Aida. And
