he sat beside her.
    “We’ll leave room for Gayle.”
    “Who the hell are you, and what do you want?” She frowned at him and edged closer to the wall to put space between them.
    “You know who I am. I introduced myself. I also explained I’m looking for acreage.”
    “Huh, you might fool Gayle. You don’t fool me. I’ll be watching you.”
    “And I will be watching you.” He lifted her hand unexpectedly and kissed her palm.
    Rea jerked her hand back, but it was too late. Fire sparked down her spine, and her pussy clenched with hunger.
    “Get back from me or I’ll scream.”
    He picked up the menu as though nothing had happened between them. “The homemade soup sounds good.” Those wicked, enchanting eyes stared into hers. “You won’t scream. Not until I make love to you. Then you’ll scream with pleasure.”
    Her pussy wept with desire. She was in a world of trouble.

Chapter Five
     
    Rae was relieved when Gayle joined them. She slid into the seat across from Rae and Garth.
    “My appointment hasn’t come, and my partner came back. I’m hungry, so this gives me a chance to eat before we go on our ride. The properties aren’t close together. It will take a couple of hours to see the three I have in mind.”
    Gayle dominated the conversation and flirted continuously with the man at Rae’s side. Good. It gave Rae a chance to get her equilibrium back. As he talked to Gayle, Rae tried to read his thoughts. With most people she had no difficulty. Although she never tried without permission, unless she was on assignment or asked to for a specific, very good reason. She justified her actions on needing to know this man’s agenda to protect herself.
    But she hit a brick wall, figuratively speaking. No amount of effort could get the tiniest speck of information. Who the hell was he? Suddenly, he glanced her way and opened his mind.
    “I’m your destiny.” Then he turned to continue his conversation with Gayle.
    Shocked, Rae wanted to get away. To have time to think. But no. She mustn’t look weak or frightened. She’d only ordered soup and managed to finish it and her tea. She excused herself to go to the ladies’ room while he and Gayle finished eating.
    Rae locked the door. She stared into the mirror, closed her eyes, and took several deep breaths. When she reopened her eyes she felt calmer. She’d better get back to the table before they started wondering what had happened to her.
    She touched up her lipstick before returning. Garth stood when she arrived back at the table. “We’re through. Gayle”—he smiled at the woman getting out of the booth—“is ready to show us the properties.”
    “I parked my SUV right out front,” Gayle said.
    “You two ladies go ahead. I’ll take care of the check.”
    “Thank you.” Gayle gave him a big smile. She took brisk steps out the door.
    Rae hesitated. “I’d prefer to pay my own way.”
    “Duly noted. Now go get in the car.”
    She frowned at him, irritation poked at her nerves. “I don’t like you.”
    “You’re a poor liar,” he whispered. He strode toward the front desk to pay as Rae stormed out of the restaurant.
    Gayle waited by the driver’s door. “You might prefer to sit in the backseat. You’d have more room or you can sit in the front.”
    There was no mistaking her heavy hint. It suited Rae perfectly. She didn’t want to ride in the front and feel his eyes on her.
    “Thank you.” Rae climbed into the back.
    Garth came out just as she closed her door. She almost laughed at his quick frown. Then it was gone. He smiled at Gayle and assisted her into the SUV.
    Rae enjoyed viewing the countryside. Green trees and blue lakes could be seen in the distance. They went around mountains and down in lush valleys.
    They’d gone quite a ways from town when Gayle pulled into a long driveway off the main road. The land started at the roadway and ended against a backdrop of trees and forest.
    “This place is further from town than the other
