That’s a three-and-a-half hour drive.”
    “I wouldn’t dream of driving.” He took her bag from her. “That would mean less time in bed with you. The sooner we get there, the faster we can get started.”
    “Oh.” She exhaled a fluttery breath.
    “I have a place on the beach,” he explained. His oceanfront home was his sanctuary, a place he’d never wanted to share with anyone. Until now. “No interruptions. The perfect spot for you to let go, do whatever we want.”
    The moan that caught in her throat was all the answer he needed. He guided her to his car and took off to the airport. She was quiet, staring out the window and every now and then shooting him a quick look. He parked and guided her to the counter of his favorite charter, and a few minutes later they were climbing into a Cessna 182.
    Lauren twisted her hands on her lap as the pilot prepared the plane. “You’re not afraid of flying are you?” he asked.
    “No, I just can’t believe I’m on my way to the Keys for pie.”
    He put his hands over hers and gave a reassuring squeeze. “And sex. Really good sex,” he said.
    He widened his legs, and as his thigh pressed against hers, his cock thickened. He looked at her, caught the way she quivered under his touch. Damn, if they had a bit more privacy, he’d spend the next thirty minutes initiating her into the mile-high club. Though, in this size of a plane, that wouldn’t be easy. He would have brought the Gulfstream, but it had seemed a waste for such a short trip. Still, his mind wouldn’t let go of taking her right here and now and creating their own kind of turbulence.
    “What?” she asked.
    “What do you mean what?”
    “You have that look on your face again.”
    He cocked a brow, amused at the way Lauren was narrowing her eyes at him. “I have a look?”
    “Yeah, it’s the same one you gave me at the stadium, a mix between the big bad wolf and the woodsman who wants to save me.”
    He laughed out loud. “Go with the wolf, Lauren.”
    Her chest rose and fell erratically when she squeaked out, “It’s dangerous to stop and talk to the wolf, you know.”
    He winked. “Even more dangerous to go home with him.” He brushed his thumb over her thigh, pretty goddamn sure that once he had a taste of her flesh, nothing else would do.
    As she exhaled a shuddering breath, he shifted closer, enjoying her scent as they cruised through the sky. An hour and a half later after landing, renting a car, and stopping to pick up a pizza and key lime pie for dessert, he pulled into the driveway of his beachfront home.
    “Linc, this is beautiful.” She walked to the front of the vehicle to wait for him.
    Pizza and pie in hand, he grabbed her bag from the backseat, tossed it over his shoulder then captured her hand to lead her inside. Eyes wide, Lauren glanced around then walked to the huge window overlooking the ocean. “Is this a rental?”
    “No, it’s mine.” He stepped up beside her and opened the door leading to the deck. “But I don’t get here often enough.”
    “Why not?”
    He shrugged. “Work. Commitments. You know how it is.”
    She nodded. Most of the time she was the first in and the last to leave. “That I do,” she said. “I have this thing about unfinished business.”
    He winked. “So I heard. I know all about all work and no play.”
    She put one hand on her hip. “Well, you’re far from dull, and according to the rag mags, Miami’s most eligible bachelor does a lot of playing.”
    He stepped closer until their bodies were touching, and just like that, his cock hardened. “Lies.”
    She laughed and turned to face him. “Don’t worry, I’m not judging.” She waved her hand around the room. “Who you bring here is none of my business.”
    “I’ve never brought a woman here before,” he admitted. Why the hell am I telling her that?
    Her eyes narrowed. “Then why did you bring me?”
    Good question. If this was his sanctuary, why had he?
