veins.
Clearing her throat as she tried getting control of the situation, she said, âPlease have a seat, Tyson, and tell me just what it is that you want.â
Realizing that wasnât a good question to ask him, she rephrased it. âTell me what design of home youâre interested in.â

Tyson thought she had asked the right question the first time. He certainly had no problem telling her exactly what he wanted. But first he had to get his libido back in check. It had begun smoldering big-time when heâd glanced up from his conversation with her administrative assistant to see her standing there. She was what sexual fantasies were made of, and when it came to her he had plenty.
She was a constant visitor to his nightly dreams. If that wasnât bad enough sheâd also crept into his daytime thoughts. All this from a woman he hadnât seen in years. Usually he didnât waste time fantasizing about any one woman before moving quickly to another. But it seemed he was focused on Hunter McKay and no one else, and he couldnât figure out why.
Eli thought he was obsessed with her and Tyson was beginning to wonder if that was true. He had never been obsessed with a woman before and was convinced he only wanted her in his bed, nothing more. Every time he thought about them having sex his pulse went crazy. He couldnât help wondering if there was more to his desire for Hunter than her being the one who got away. Why was he turned on by almost everything about her? Like her dress, for instance.
He knew it was just a dress, but on her it looked simply fantastic. He especially liked the way it complemented her legs. The other night sheâd been wearing slacks so today was the first time heâd seen them. Now it came back to him that in high school, she had been a majorette, and the one thing he had liked was that she had a gorgeous pair of legs. She still did. And in that dress and a pair of three-inch pumps, she was definitely presenting challenges to his peace of mind. She looked neat, professional and way too appealing.
âTyson?â
Hunterâs voice brought his focus back to their conversation. He stepped away from the door and slid into a chair across from her desk. Doing so put him in close proximity to her and he enjoyed inhaling her scent. She was wearing the same perfume she had the other night and he thought the fragrance was definitely her signature. He met her eyes and said, âI have no problem telling you what I want.â He let that statement hang in the air between them for a moment before adding, âAs far as a design for a house, of course.â
âOf course,â Hunter said, moving around her desk to sit down behind it. âBefore I can help you there are a few things I would need to know,â she said, picking up a notepad and pen.
âLike what?â
âLike the location of the property the house will be built on. I need to verify there arenât any restrictions in the area that might prevent you from building the type of home you want. And I need to make sure your lot is large enough to fit whatever design you have in mind.â
He nodded. âI find your inquiries interesting. Why donât we have dinner tonight and talk about them?â
She leaned back in her chair and stared at him. âWe need to discuss it now, Tyson, because I have no intentions of having dinner with you.â
âWhy?â
âBecause after work is my time. A business dinner means extending my work time into my pleasure time.â
âWe can make it both.â
Her mouth flattened into a hard line. âNo, we canât, and I donât have time to play games. If the only reason for your visit is toââ
âTry my hand at seducing you?â
She held his stare. âYou warned me the other night that would be your main objective.â
A soft chuckle escaped his lips. âIt still is. Trust me. I
