black coffee when it was ready and took a sip of her mocha latte.
“You are asking me to change the way I normally operate,” she said.
“Is that too much? I think it’s justified,” he said.
Of course he would. He didn’t need the media to make his life manageable to keep the family business running smoothly, to garner free publicity for his causes—and to make his father happy.
“I’ll try,” she said at last.
“That’s all I ask,” he said, moving to her and taking her in his arms.
“You are still naked,” she mentioned.
“Does that turn you on?” he asked.
There was something playful about him this morning. She wanted to smile but she couldn’t. She’d overheard enough of his conversation to know that his mother had been concerned about that photo. And she was sure that wasn’t a good thing.
“Let’s go back to bed.”
She shook her head. “I can’t. I have to go to the Munroe offices this morning.”
“To fix the problems left by your brother?”
“Yes,” she said.
“Have you given my proposition any thought?” he asked.
“I haven’t exactly had my mind on business, now have I?” she replied as he kissed her neck.
Geoff took her by the hand, leading the way back into her bedroom.
She watched his tush as he walked in front her. He was one fine-looking man naked. He wasn’t hard-bodied like a weight lifter but he was in shape and everything was perfectly proportioned. She reached for him, wanting to touch him, when he turned around.
“What are you doing?”
“Admiring your backside,” she admitted, reaching around and cupping his butt. “You have a very nice one.”
He flushed, which made her smile. “Should we talka little business, or should we talk about my bum some more?”
“What’s your proposition again? I’m a little distracted right now.”
“I propose that we do a joint business venture, maybe some luxury vacation packages that would partner Everest Air with the Munroe Hotels. It would distract the board from Auggie’s issues and we’d get to spend a lot of time together.”
“So we’d work on this together?”
“Indeed we would. In fact, I think we should meet about it right now.”
“In my bed?” she asked.
“Yes.”
“I’m being serious, Geoff.”
“Me, too. Let me make love to you and then I’ll take you to breakfast and we can discuss the details.”
Standing in her bedroom with light streaming in from the tinted windows, she had a hard time saying no to him. She wanted to be in his arms, but she had no idea if she should entangle herself further or escape.
This morning she was making business deals and promises and she wasn’t sure why. Hell, that was a lie. She knew why. Geoff was too much a man for her to let him go this soon.
For the first time, she’d met a man she wanted to spend more than one night with. She’d met a man she wanted to get to know better. She wanted to see if their lives would blend, if she could change the way she lived so they could be together.
She’d met a man who had the potential to make her fall in love with him. It was as simple as that.
That should be the warning signal, she thought. That one reason should send her running away. Instead, she found herself slipping her dressing gown off her shoulders and letting it fall to the floor.
She pushed against Geoff’s chest and he walked backward to the bed. He fell back and pulled her down with him.
She straddled his body and kissed him as his hands came up to rove all over her back and down to her butt. He murmured sexy words into her ear, which turned her on.
He positioned himself at the entrance of her body and she felt just the tip of his erection inside her. She rocked her hips and took him all the way inside. He felt so right inside her that she could scarcely breathe.
Last night she’d thought it had just been the magic of their first time making love, but he still felt right. He wrapped his arms around her and rolled over in one
