protested.
    “Then you will.” He considered the ramifications of this forbidden relationship. “We’ll just have to be careful.”
    She waggled her eyebrows. “Oh I’m very good at careful.”
    “Yeah, I bet.” He couldn’t even imagine what clandestine would mean to this bold-as-brass woman.
     

Chapter Six
     
     
    Dani rolled over in her bed the following morning and stretched. She was pleasantly sore between her legs. The thought put a smile on her face. Somehow the idea that she had a delicious secret lover like Josef was a little bit like winning the relationship lottery. Not only was she getting a chance at a great guy, she was thumbing her nose at her brother’s idiocy too.
    Someone pounded on her bedroom door. “Hey! You better be decent, because you’ve got about three minutes before I come in,” Mikhail called through the door in Russian.
    Dani groaned irritably and swung her legs over the edge of the bed. She got up and pulled on a wrap over her baby-pink chemise. Belting the robe firmly around her waist, she stomped over to her door. She flung it open and gave Mikhail her hottest glare. She really wanted him to see how pissed he was making her.
    “Nice. Really?” Mikhail looked at her with distaste. “Have you no modesty at all?”
    “In my world there are no guys in the house,” she reminded him cattily. “So maybe you’re just out of place. Now what do you want?”
    “You need to get dressed. Wear something nice. We have a meeting.” Mikhail’s terse Russian lent no meaning to the conversation.
    “Can you speak English? Seriously. We’re in America, not Russia.” She frowned and crossed her arms over her chest. “And why do I need to go to what sounds like a business meeting with you?”
    “You’re a part of this family, right?” At least he said it in English as she’d requested. “Since Papa is ill, you need to be aware of a few things.”
    “I don’t want anything to do with the family business,” she said derisively. “I don’t work with you now. I certainly don’t intend to change that once Papa passes away.”
    “Well you’re coming with me.”
    “Does Papa know?” There was something strange going on, but she couldn’t put her finger on exactly what it was.
    “Yes. It was his idea.”
    Then she really had no choice. Heaving a giant sigh, Dani shut the door in his face. “I’ll be down in thirty minutes.”

    Josef was sure that the truth of what had happened between himself and Dani was written all over his face as he waited for Mikhail to finally decide to leave for the meeting with the Rusnaks. He had never felt guilt like this before. It was a crushing weight on his chest that threatened to steal his breath.
    “What is up with you this morning?” Mikhail asked, walking into the kitchen and poking Josef in the arm. “You’re always quiet, but this is ridiculous. You look like a stone statue.”
    “Did you have some other purpose for me this morning?” Josef made an attempt at levity. “Usually you just want me to stand around and look scary.”
    “Well you’re certainly doing that,” Mikhail grunted. “So tone it down a bit, eh? You’ll give Daniella heart palpitations and it was all I could do to get her ass moving this morning anyway.”
    Josef felt as though someone had poured ice-cold water down his back. “Daniella is coming with us this morning?”
    “ Da .” Mikhail grabbed a cup of coffee from the carafe on the counter. “Why? Is that a problem?”
    “Of course not. I just didn’t know that she was aware of the meeting taking place.” Josef tried not to sound too skeptical or seem as though he were judging. Mikhail was funny about how he viewed his sister’s participation in family matters.
    “Let’s just say she doesn’t realize that she’s involved today,” Mikhail smirked as he sipped his coffee, “but I fully intend to go through with the little plan I outlined last night.” There was a brief pause, as if
