is.”
    “And what is it?” he asked.
    “Wonderful. But just a fuck.” Her gaze darted away.
    Her blunt words knocked the breath out of him. He wondered why. He’d gotten exactly what he’d set out to find tonight. Uncomplicated sex. Still, he couldn’t stop the sudden surge of anger. “Whether you want to see me again or not, you’re stuck with me whenever the sun goes down.”
    “Only in the dark?” One blonde brow arched. “What are you, a vampire?”

Chapter Four
     
    Dylan gave her a heated stare.
    Disappointed he hadn’t returned a smart-ass comment, Emmy wondered if her blunt words had shocked him. She’d only said “it was just a fuck” to let him know she had no expectations. If he knew he’d rocked her world, he’d probably run screaming into the night.
    Not that Dylan appeared to be a screamer, but most men got butterflies when a woman appeared too enthusiastic in their company.
    No, Emmy wasn’t going to cling. If their interlude was all she’d get from this unusual man, then she’d walk away proud she’d earned her first orgasm. She’d certainly worked hard for it!
    Emmy giggled, then looked up into his face again. “Is there any particular reason we’re stuck with each other at night?” Her heart pitter-patted, hoping he hadn’t said it in the heat of passion. Perhaps he’d finally seen her without his passion-lenses and decided not to be seen in public with her huge butt.
    Dylan sighed, then said, “Love, would you mind getting up now? We need to talk.”
    Here it comes, she thought. I won’t cry. I won’t let him see how disappointed I am. She rose from his lap and bent to pick up her clothes from the floor.
    “Not yet,” he said, his strong fingers wrapping around her arm.
    All that glorious muscle had been hers—at least for a while.
    He guided her to the sofa. “Take a seat. We’ll talk.”
    After she had settled onto the cool seat, she wished she had her skirt to cover her thighs, which spread like butter over the leather.
    He knelt beside the sofa, his eyes level with hers, the gold flecks glowing in the sea of deep green. His finger tapped her nose. “Emmy, pay attention.”
    Hoping to forestall some awful ‘I’m letting you down easy speech,’ Emmy blurted, “You really don’t have to do this.” Her hands wrung in her lap. “I’m a grown-up girl. This was great, but I can make my own way home now.”
    His brows drew together. “Emmy, you’re not going anywhere without me.”
    Her heart lurched, wanting to soar, but she kept hold of the tethers. “Dylan, you don’t have to say that. I’m not expecting anything to come of this. Can’t we just say we had a grand ole time and I can leave?”
    “Don’t you want to see me again?” he asked softly.
    “Of course I do,” she admitted, feeling as awkward as a teenager waiting to be kissed. “I was just trying to make this easy for you, in case you wanted an out.”
    “I want to see you again, too.”
    She released the tether and smiled as her heart lifted toward a clear blue sky.
    “But there’s something else.” His voice was deep and serious.
    The traces tied to her heart tangled in the trees. “You’ve already got a girlfriend?”
    He blinked. “No, Emmy, I don’t have a girlfriend.”
    “You’re bi! Was that your boyfriend I saw you with earlier? I can see why you’d be attracted—he’s very handsome.”
    His finger pressed against her lips. “I’m not bi. I’m not trying to brush you off. I just need for you to listen to what I say.”
    He glared and kept his finger mashed to her lips until she nodded. When he took the finger away, Emmy tightened her lips and slid her hands beneath her thighs.
    He rose to his feet. “Your life is in danger.” Dragging a hand through his hair, he paced in front of her. “Your friend Monica is working for Nicky now. And Nicky’s very dangerous. In fact, he’s a murderer.”
    His cock swayed between his legs in the most amazing way, and then she
