Excerpt:
“Daniel, if
you’re in the bathroom come out this minute.”
The entrance
opened, and he stood in the doorway.
Problem: he wore
only a towel.
Aw, shit. She
didn’t need to see his bare chest covered in crisp dark hair, the sculptured
muscles of his arms and shoulders, developed pecs, and thick thighs. Damn, how
was she supposed to resist such temptation?
Desire added
with the anxiety she’d already experienced on her drive and lit her anger. “Why
the hell didn’t you answer your phone? I’ve been calling and texting you for
the last two hours.”
A confused frown
passed over his handsome face. Instead of responding, he stepped to the bedside
table. He lifted his cell phone and clicked a few buttons.
Unable to
contain her impatience, Karen stalked forward.
He glanced up
when she grew closer and showed her the phone. “I don’t understand it. I don’t
show receiving any messages or calls. The signals must have gotten lost because
of the storm.”
She’d suspected
as much. Still, she refused to let him off the hook because he could’ve
contacted her before he left town. “You should’ve called me. But no...” Having
endured his inability to communicate for months now, she stabbed her finger
through the air at him. “You never call. You always expect me to phone you.
Well, I’ve had it.”
The distance
closed between them and she stood inches from him. Her fingertip tapped his
chest. Static electricity sparked between them and her fist unfolded. She
stumbled backward.
“Whoa.” Daniel
caught her around the waist with one hand and held her close. His phone landed
on the bed before he circled his other arm around her. His strong grip held her
steady and didn’t allow her to step away. “You’re right. I guess I’m just use
to...”
“Don’t say it.
I’ve heard it too many times. Sharon might have resented the interruptions but
I’m not her. I’m never in any type of meeting that you could possibly disrupt.”
Karen spread her hands over his chest and worked to maintain a smidgen of
distance. Nevertheless with him so near, his warmth surrounding her in a
seductive cocoon, she had to fight the urge to melt against him.
“Yes, but if I
called you whenever I wanted we’d never get off the phone.” The husky tone of
his voice pulled her gaze upward.
