twitching slightly as he tried to hide his amusement, “it’s the neighborly thing to do considering we’re the only two people out here for miles.” He tried not to burst into laughter a moment later when she crinkled her nose up at him in what had to be disgust. She looked so damned adorable that it took him a moment to concentrate on what he had been saying. “And second,” he finally continued, still trying valiantly to hide the grin threatening to break free. “Well, because I asked you to and it’s only polite.”
    She seemed to consider all of this a moment. Finally, she pulled her arm out of his grip and again started heading toward shore without another word.
    “Hey!” he called, momentarily stunned once again by her actions. This flippant rejection was something completely new to him and it was throwing everything off.
    Victoria stopped and turned back to face him, her expression unreadable. “Yes?”
    “What time should I pick you up?” he asked, the grin that he had been fighting finally skittering across his lips. He bit back a chuckle when her mouth dropped open slightly, but she quickly recovered. Well played, he thought as his grin widened slightly.
    “I really don’t think that’s a very good idea, Mr. Stark.”
    Camden closed the distance between them and stepped in front of her, their bodies not more than two inches apart, and damned if he didn’t feel a current of electricity hit him like a goddamn thunderbolt. Jesus! What in the hell was happening here? He had never experienced anything like this before.
    “Camden,” he corrected gently, his eyes locking on her mouth. He wanted her to say his name. In fact, he needed it, he realized with a start. He didn’t know why, but the formality of Mr. Stark coming from those lips was just damned wrong on so many levels.
    “Very well… Camden,” she replied, her voice taking on a note of annoyance, and yet it was still as sexy as hell Cam thought.
    “How about I pick you up at six?” he whispered and saw her body tighten.

    Victoria stared at the man standing in front of her a moment in stunned disbelief. He was so arrogant; s o damn cock-sure of himself, and she couldn’t help but bristle slightly. No matter how attracted she was to him, the man was an ass who didn’t seem to understand what the word no meant.
    “Listen,” she began, refusing to meet his eyes now. She just couldn’t. For some reason, when she did, he seemed to pull her in with this need that she was far from comfortable with. “I appreciate the offer, truly I do. But I’m really not what you’re looking for.” She knew his type all too well. He was a player. Plain and simple. Something that she definitely didn’t have the time or the patience for. He probably had a different woman warming his bed every damn night and she’d be damned if she was going to be added to the notches on his bedpost!
    “Really? And…what is it exactly that I’m looking for, Victoria?” he responded quietly.
    She felt her toes curl down into the sand at her feet with the smooth, husky way that he said her name. It rolled off of his tongue like sweet molasses and slammed right into her body, warming her to her core. And it was beyond sexy as all hell. It was damned near earth-shattering.
    Victoria took a deep, steadying breath and finally met his gaze, refusing to let this man do what he was doing to her. “I know your type all too well. You’re looking for a quick wine and dine romp in the hay to pass the time. You’re bored and you probably haven’t had your…um, tires rotated since you’ve been here,” she informed him haughtily, and was shocked when he burst out into a rich, deep laughter only a moment later.
    “As appealing as that does sound,” He chuckled good-naturedly and his amber eyes seemed to glow even brighter as the silvery moonlight bounced and danced off of them, “But, I’m merely looking for a little company.” When Victoria’s brows shot up, Cam lifted
