wildly attracted to him, but she wasn’t about to cross any lines with a man who worked for her. At least that’s what she kept telling herself, and that excuse worked as well as any.
    “I haven’t seen any other men in the picture, Destiny. I’ve looked. Is it that you’re hung up on Aiden?”
    “What?” That sobered her as much as a slap, and she attempted to push him away. “No!”
    She shook off his warmth and pulled away from him, stepping across the deserted corridor to put as much space as possible between them. Turning back, she regarded him like the predator he was.
    He stared at her as if trying to figure her out. They’d been doing this dance long enough, the soft innuendos when they spoke, the long stares, the heated glances. She thought she could handle it, handle him , but she was coming to realize she’d been wrong. She didn’t like the way his stare made her feel naked and exposed to him. She didn’t like the way he’d gotten under her skin. She didn’t like the way she found herself thinking of him all the time, and she didn’t like the way it made her feel to know he thought she was still into Aiden.
    “I am not attracted to Aiden Grand.” She lowered her voice to a stage whisper, not that anyone else was on the floor to hear her. “And even if I was, have you seen how he is with Cassidy and that baby?”
    Aiden was the most devoted husband and father she’d ever seen, and it made her realize how wrong she’d been to ever suspect his motives in helping her.
    “Yeah, sort of sickening really. Isn’t it?”
    She rolled her eyes and took a step closer to him.
    “No, actually it’s beautiful. When I was married, I would have given one of my kidneys to have my husband look at me the way Aiden looks at Cassidy. Good God. And he brought her here so he could help me, but not be away from her. Do you have any idea how I longed for time with my husband when I was married? How many nights I went to bed alone because he was in Paris, or Dubai, or wherever the hell! What Aiden and Cassidy have is a rare and beautiful thing not afforded most of us on this planet, and if you were ever so lucky as to find love like that, I hardly think you’d call it sickening !”
    Her tirade run dry, she stood there staring at him, waiting for a smart-ass comeback and no idea why in the world she’d gotten so worked up over his statement. The man did something to her, made her irrational. Ever since she’d met him, she’d been having the most erotic dreams and even during the day at times, fantasies about him would just pop into her mind. It was discomfiting. She was used to being the boring, passionless one. This side of her personality she had no idea how to make peace with at all!
    “Jealous much, sweetheart?”
    She strangled the scream in her throat, but wasn’t so lucky about stopping herself from lunging at him. Both fists pummeled his chest, causing her serious discomfort, but she doubted he even noticed.
    “I am not jealous! You complete arrogant jackass…”
    He grabbed her wrists and turned her back against the wall, his body pressed hard against hers, his face a mere inch away. She could feel the warmth of his breath on her lips and caught the scent of mint mixed with cigarette smoke.
    “Don’t worry, this isn’t one of those steamy romance novels, and I’m not going to kiss you or rip the clothes off you…not that I’d mind, but come on, let’s be real. I just wanted your attention. I don’t give a fuck if you want Aiden’s cock or not. I don’t give a fuck if he and his wife are blissfully happy or merely putting up a front like every other married couple I’ve ever known in all my life. I’m here to do a job. Yes, I’m attracted to you, but I’m not a relationship kinda guy. I’m a fuck ’em and leave ’em kinda guy.”
    She gasped at his brutal honesty.
    “At least I’m honest about it,” he defended himself.
    “Why are you telling me any of this?”
    “Because I’m
