EXCERPT
"You want to leave tonight?" He glanced at the clock above the fireplace. "It's almost one in the morning. Where will you go?"
"I don't know. A hotel?" She shrugged and headed toward the
door.
"The nearest hotel is at least an hour or two away."
"So I'll drive all night back to San Francisco."
Was she completely insane?
"Wait."
She paused, turning to face him and raising an eyebrow.
Or maybe he was the one who was crazy. Was he really going to
tell Justin's girlfriend to spend the night here? The wind whistled outside
the windows, and the faint ticking of the clock confirmed his decision.
"You can't get back on the road this late at night. It's probably
going to snow."
"Snow?" Her eyes widened, and she looked horrified by the idea.
"Yeah, snow. White, cold stuff? Couldn't you smell it in the air?"
"Smell the snow in the air?" She blinked and shook her head. "Umm. I'm from San Francisco. I have no freaking idea what snow in the
air smells like."
"I think you should stay here tonight."
She cocked her head and her eyes narrowed. "Are you hitting on
me?"
"Am…am I hitting on you?" he sputtered. "No. Of course not."
"Hmm." She dropped her suitcase on the floor and walked past
him toward the bedroom. "Too bad. You're kind of cute. Okay, I'll stay."
She thought he was cute?
He watched her retreating figure, noting again the curves under the
bizarre, but sexy, outfit. The blood in his dick stirred, and he groaned in
alarm.
Oh, God. What was he doing? She was not his type. She was
nowhere near his type. Not to mention she was Justin's girlfriend.
"So are we sharing a bed, or are you going to be a gentleman and
take the couch?" She laughed, and the soft, feminine sound tantalized his
senses like silk. "I promise not to bite if you want to share a bed. Unless
you're into that kind of thing."
She turned around and batted her eyelashes at him. Lord, she was a
flirt. And damn it, it was working. He shifted, his pants feeling a little
tighter in the crotch now.
"I'll take the couch." Like any horny gentleman getting hit on by
his brother's gothic girlfriend would.
"Bummer." She smiled faintly. "Hey, if your name's not Roger,
what is it?"
They didn't even know each other's names. The last few minutes
seemed surreal. He was sharing the cabin with a complete stranger.
"It's Chase."
"Cool. I'm Nikki. Short for Nicole." She gave a slight nod. "Thanks
for letting me crash here. I'll get out of your hair in the morning."
