into his grand plan to write books
between long trips around the world? If that was the only impediment he could
always have a one-night stand—maybe two if she turned out to be as hot as he
expected her to be—and nobody would be the wiser. Somehow he doubted it would
be that easy… To get her to agree, or to walk away afterward? No, he
wouldn’t have a problem walking away, for sure , so the only problem that
remained was to get her to agree . Was her relationship with Kevin rock solid
or could he give it a shake? All the same, he was determined to stir the embers
every way he could and watch how the wind blew.
    He picked up the phone not realizing the time. He must have
woken her because when she answered her voice was husky and her words slow.
    “Hi. Sorry to call so early but I need to discuss the play
with you.” What a lame excuse. Would she buy it? “ I was wondering if you’re
free to meet tonight.”
    “Er…not sure, I’ll have to check my calendar.”
    She was going to make him wait for an answer. It was her
prerogative, and he well deserved her cold shoulder after the way he’d behaved
with her at the party and all the other times.
    “Fine, I’ll call you at lunchtime.”

Chapter Two
     
    Julia walked into the bar at Skipper’s Dock at precisely six
o’clock only to find Ben already there. She slipped onto one of the free stools
next to his as he stood and placed a kiss on her cheek. The feather-like touch
of his lips on her skin sent a bolt of heat to her core. Desire vibrated
through her with shocking swiftness and urgency. God, she wanted him. Badly.
    The barman’s voice interrupted her thoughts. After ordering
a white wine spritzer—she’d better keep her mind clear for the drive back—she
returned her full attention to Ben. He looked good in casual clothes of dark
jeans and a black waterfowl sweater. His wavy black hair and dark brown eyes
were fabulous.
    Fabulously gorgeous.
    She smiled inwardly. Ben could have his pick of any woman in
the bar, and there were several checking him out. It was hard to believe he
would be interested in her—a nobody living in a small town—other than the
project they had in common.
    Damn!
    “Are you still with me?”
    With a blink she tried to dismiss her thoughts and let her
mind concentrate only on his words. “Um, yes…”
    Ben laughed. “You could have fooled me.”
    She shrugged, not bothering to answer.
    “How was your day?”
    “Fine…busy.”
    “Fine, busy.” He shook his head. “Not a very eloquent speech
for an English teacher,” he teased, the corner of his mouth slightly lifting
before he leaned in and whispered in her ear. “Do you want to be here?”
    Still trying to figure out how he knew she was an English
teacher, Julia jerked her gaze sideways at his sudden question. “What do you
mean?”
    “I want to have sex with you. Right now,” he murmured.
    Her eyes widened and she blinked. What! He’d been
clear and blunt enough, but she needed him to confirm she wasn’t just imagining
the words. “I think I misheard you.”
    His lips quirked. “No, you didn’t.” He leaned in, bringing
his mouth closer to her ear as people moved by. “I want to take you back to my
place and strip you naked, run my hands all over your smooth skin, hold your
luscious breasts while my cock sinks into you.”
    The sounds around them dimmed as her senses filled with
him—his all-male scent, his hand on the small of her back, the sound of his
low, velvety voice. She didn’t know where she was anymore. And didn’t care.
Blood roared through her and pumped into her pussy. Her mouth slacked open and
she found it impossible to turn away from the heat in his gaze. Never in her
twenty-eight years had she received such a blunt proposal, or been so turned-on
by one. But she’d never indulged in a one-night stand… Maybe it’s about time
I do. And what better time than now with Ben, the man she’d wanted to get
her hands on from the moment she’d
