challenge to gain strength, or maybe it was all just crazy, but she’d mentally accepted the dare.
    That very day she’d quit her job. That night she’d gone home—with a police escort—and packed all that was left of her belongings and headed for Vegas. If she had only six months to live, would she want to spend her days in the same city as Rory?
No
. If she had only those months left, would she do something so crazy as move to Sin City?
Yes
.
    She smiled, thinking about how much the decision had changed her life. After she hadmoved into a total dive to get away from Rory, with only a small suitcase of her personal belongings, for six long months she’d been miserable. Now, four months later, she stood in Nevada with a drop-dead-gorgeous naked man.
    Not just any man—a man made of every fantasy she could’ve dreamed up. If she had only two more months left to live, would she get into the hot tub and see where this naughty adventure would take her?
    Damn right I would
.
    With the thought solidified in her mind, she gazed over the firm lines of Kyler’s masculine body. She wasn’t blind to the fact that everything he did seemed to be geared in a way that made her act first. As though he wouldn’t do more unless she outright showed she wanted it.
    For whatever reason, he needed to see her strength. And his actions made her feel stronger—powerful, even. She’d made this choice to join him tonight, and she wanted this man for one night of sexy, delicious sex.
    With shaky hands, she reached for the ribbon that held her dress to her neck and yanked it free, then stripped out of her lingerie. As the warm air brushed against her puckered nipples, Kyler turned to her, holding the two glasses of wine.
    His gaze smoldered with a heat she wanted to lose herself in. He gave her a slow once-over and then his eyes met hers. While they were heated, he also seemed to have controlled the lust. He smiled gently and offered her the wineglass. “For you, my lady.”
    After she accepted the glass, he headed toward the hot tub. Perhaps he attempted to make her feel like being naked was no big deal, so she was comfortable. His plan worked; his nonchalance settled the racing of her heart and eased the shaking of her hands, making her feel a lot less naked.
    She took a big sip of her wine for bravery, reminding herself that if she did die in two months, this was surely a memory she’d be glad to take with her. Watching Kyler enter the hot tub, she climbed the wooden steps. He offered his hand, and she slid her fingers into his, loving the way his firm grip held hers.
    Her foot dipped into the water and she moaned in happiness. By the time her entire body dropped into the water, her eyes fluttered closed. She forced them open as he tugged her closer, pulling her onto his lap.
    God
, she loved how he touched her—without hesitation—with passion. There was norestraint as he yanked her right on top of him, like she belonged there. That confidence spoke to her and heated her up far more than the water.
    “Feels nice, hmm?” he murmured.
    The jets pushed water against her body and her knees pressed against the bench he sat on. As his erection settled against the junction between her thighs, she didn’t know if he meant his body against hers, or the hot tub. It didn’t matter. Both felt incredible. “Feels amazing.”
    His gaze fixed on her and he took a big gulp of his wine, finishing half the contents in one swallow. After he lowered the glass, he said, “You have unique eyes. At the wedding, they looked blue. Now they look green.”
    His arm wrapped around her back, holding her in place, as she didn’t doubt the water would have her floating away. “They change color, depending on what I’m wearing. It’s weird, I know.”
    Slowly, he shook his head. “
Weird
is not the word I’d use to describe them. Beautiful, yes.”
    Her cheeks warmed, and he seemed to have noticed, if his grin had anything to say about it. She simply
