feet, she pulled away and whirled around.
    “You!” She stared daggers at him, but all he noticed was the disarray of her hair and how it had fallen onto one shoulder leaving her other shoulder naked. The strap of her dress slid down her arm, exposing a hardened rosy nipple. She followed his stare and yanked the dress back in place, which snapped Blade back into the moment.
    “Yes, me. What about me?”
    Her face went bright red and her brows drew in.
    “Well, who the hell are you, a limo driver, a steward, or the captain?”
    Blade watched her bend down and got a peek of both breasts, until her hand flew across the gaping material. He held himself from gasping. She stood the stiletto upright, slipped her foot into it, and then glared at him.
    “I don’t know if I feel flattered or stalked…or violated.”
    “Tonight I’m the Captain and very excited you’ve accepted my dinner invitation. May I interest you in a glass of Sangria before dinner?” Blade moved slowly, afraid if he startled Lacinda, she’d bolt for good. The air steeped and crackled with her energy. He couldn’t tell if it was anger, embarrassment, sexual tension, or maybe a bit of all three.
    Blade picked up the glasses of wine and walked back, careful not to look her in the eye when he handed her a glass. Looking directly into an angered woman’s eyes was asking for an open attack, one he didn’t wish from this woman. He casually stepped toward the patio, drew the curtains back, and opened the door.
    “Please join me.” He stood by the door, waiting for her, hoping she’d respond positively. Lacinda released a heavy sigh. Blade ventured a look into her face. Her mellow brown eyes met his and held. His cock twitched as a tremor shot through his body. God, he’d never reacted like this for any woman.
    Lacinda’s eyelids finally lowered toward her glass of wine. Blade swore a physical disconnect happened at that moment and it about set him on his ass. She took a sip of wine then walked through the door and into the glassed-in patio. Her body swayed, making the dress shimmer in waves outlining every curve. Blade wanted his palm grazing along the curve of her backside, maybe inside the back of her dress.
    He followed her. She stopped near the outside wall. Its bottom half glass and top half screen, she stared out at the ocean. Her face softened, it gave him hope she would relax with him. She drank more wine, remaining silent. Silence was hard to read without physical help. Blade’s ability at figuring out what a woman wanted never happened during non-active silence.
    A bell sounded inside the room, the signal someone was coming in the elevator. Blade didn’t want Lacinda left alone in her fragile state. Part of the reason he finally moved was he didn’t want an open elevator as an escape route for her.
    “Lacinda, I’ll just be a moment.” He closed the patio door and the curtain before the elevator doors opened.
    Travis rolled a dinner service cart into the room.
    “We’re not ready for that yet. In fact, I’m not sure Lacinda’s staying for dinner.”
    “She’ll stay.”
    “And how would you know that?”
    “The wine is spiked with a little something. Have you had much of it?”
    “I haven’t had any yet. It would have been nice to know before you left it.”
    “Mazie thought Lacinda might need a little something. You know, help her relax. Don’t worry. We didn’t put much in the bottle, just enough to take the edge off.”
    “Would you mind keeping the food warm and bring it back when I call you? We’re not ready for it yet.”
    “You’re the boss. Personally, I don’t know how you can keep it in your pants. My dick felt like it was on a hot stick when she opened her door earlier. Damn, Blade, claim her or someone else is going to beat you to her.”
    “You?”
    “Hell no, but I bet Mazie wouldn’t mind watching something like that.” Travis chuckled.
    “Yeah, I bet she wouldn’t.”
    Travis rolled the cart back
