.”“Glad I could help.” His voice soft with amusement, he kissed her temple.“Give me a second and I’ll put you down.”“Don’t hurry on my account.I’m quite comfortable.” She tightened her inner muscles around him and he shuddered.If she’d been able to see his expression, Missy knew for certain it would make her grin.Her heartbeat had almost returned to normal by the time he eased free of her body and set her back on her feet.“Come back to bed.” He towered over her.“I really have to go,” she began.Her proclamation ended in a sharp cry as he hoisted her off her feet and carried her back to bed fireman style.“Stay a while longer.I’ll make it worth your while.”“Worth my while?” Missy rolled onto her stomach, a mild but satisfying ache in every muscle, and buried her face in the mattress.“I don’t think I can take much more.”“Oh, you might be surprised,” he said, joining her on the bed.“We’ll rest a while and then see how you’re feeling.”He sounded so pleased with himself she picked up her head to scold.“You are completely insatiable.”“I’m insatiable?” He settled on his back beside her, hands behind his head, and smirked.“Who’s been having orgasms at the drop of a hat?”Kicking her feet in the air, she threaded the sheets between her fingers.“So you’re a great lover.Quit bragging.”“I don’t think it has anything to do with my skills.” He leaned over for a quick kiss.“I think we have great chemistry.”“For another four days,” she reminded him.“Then, it’s back to Houston and what happened in Vegas…”“Stays in Vegas.” Suddenly serious, he took her hand and kissed her palm.“What if I don’t want it to end?”She froze.Her entire body flushed hot, then cold.Goose bumps broke out on her skin.“It has to.”“Does it? Until two days ago, you’ve had a knack of keeping me on track and calm.”“And now?”“You drive me crazy.And I don’t care.” One side of Sebastian’s mouth kicked up.“I’m not ready to lose you.”The predatory glint in his gray eyes warned her some shift in their dynamic had happened.“I’m not sure I understand what you mean.”“Then let me be clear.” A soft light entered his eyes.“One night was not enough.A week is not enough.I want more.”Her heart stopped beating.She’d had no expectations when she’d wagered one night with Sebastian.But a connection had been made.Hearing him reveal that he, too, felt it made her heart sing.“More?” A second week? A month? “How much more?”“Do we have to define it?”Anxious buzzing began in the back of her mind.“I’d like some idea what you have in mind.”“Let’s start slow and see where it goes.”Start slow and soon she’d be making plans.She wouldn’t mean to.It was just something that happened in her psyche.She’d been saving for two years to buy a wedding dress.She wanted to get married.And deep down, where she knew better than to look, she suspected she wanted to marry Sebastian.Missy shook her head.This thing between them was about passion.Like her high school boyfriend, Sebastian had just seen something he wanted and taken it when the opportunity arose.And as with her high school boyfriend, eventually their differences would drive them apart.“Where do you want it to go?” Despite every sensible thought in her head, hope made her heart dance.She squashed the emotion.Sebastian didn’t want to date her.This went against everything she’d been telling herself to expect from him.“I have no expectations,” he said.“No need to control the outcome.Let’s see where it takes us.”“And my job as your assistant?”“Can I convince you to stay on?”“No.”He nodded as if he’d expected that answer.“You’ve been a part of my life for years.I’m not ready to let you go quite yet.”Sebastian’s desire for her might be real, but she knew it wasn’t something that would last once they returned home.Unfortunately, she was already half in love with him.Any more time in his arms was going to make it impossible to walk away
