that woman made him lose all rational train of thought. He tensed slightly as a feeling of unease washed over him and his eyes immediately snapped to the house next door. Nothing seemed off.
    He watched as the lights went on upstairs and he let go of a small sigh of relief.
    Shaking his head, he walked uncomfortably into the house and out onto the deck, seating himself in one of the chairs to keep his vigil for the night, trying hard not to think about her up in her bedroom…undressing. Ah , shit! He was a pathetic fool.

    Victoria walked out onto the deck the following morning in a thoroughly foul mood. In fact, she was in such a shitty mood that she was finding it just a bit unbearable to even be around herself at the moment.
    She had tossed and turned all night long; that subtle feeling of unease gnawing at her insides, only to be constantly pushed aside by thoughts of the Were next door and how good it had felt to be in his arms. And that was something that she refused to even toy with. If there was one thing Victoria demanded…it was control. She didn’t like complications, and that man was surely just that…a huge ass complication!
    She plopped down in one of the lounge chairs with a disgusted huff and glowered murderously out at the crashing waves as the sun rose over the horizon in a burst of vibrant color. Even that wasn’t lifting her mood. What was wrong with her?
    “Good morning. Looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day.”
    She turned her head to find the man in question walking up the steps to the deck, a small basket held in his hand and a pleasant enough grin on his lips. Oh, Lord! What in the bloody hell was he up to now ?
    She puffed out a half-hearted greeting and turned back toward the water, trying hard to calm the frantic beating of her heart at just the sight of him. He was a damned Adonis. All perfect, gleaming white teeth and tanned skin. Ugh! He just sucked!
    He plopped down in the seat next to her and held out the basket, his mouth turned up in a sexy as hell smile she noticed uncomfortably when she glanced back at him from the corner of her eye.
    “I brought you some croissants,” he said with a chuckle, his voice smooth and husky, and she once again felt that pesky little shiver run up her spine. Not to mention the grumbling in her belly at the thought of the buttery offerings. Damn! Those were one of her weakness’s where food was concerned. Ugh!
    “Thank you. You really didn’t need to do that,” she responded softly, glowering just a bit.

    Cam laughed, loving the way the light bounced off her hair and lit it up with golden highlights that sparkled and shimmered like diamonds. Not to mention the way her incredible skin glowed from the kiss of the sun on her perfect flesh. Jesus, the woman was absolutely incredible.
    “I wanted to,” he replied as evenly as he could manage when she turned to look at him finally.
    Their gazes clashed and Cam felt his body warm instantly as she silently watched him. With a will of their own, his eyes dipped to the perfect bow of her mouth and he remembered how sweet it had tasted. How incredibly inviting it had been.
    He cleared his throat and looked back up at her. “Do you have any coffee?” he asked, noticing with a grimace that his voice had lowered just the tiniest bit. God, but this woman was getting under his skin. She was doing things to him that she had no business doing and he was pretty damned sure that she wasn’t even aware that she was doing it.
    “I’m sure I do,” she replied with a shrug as she threw her long, shapely legs over the edge of the chair and stood. “How do you take it?”
    “Black,” he managed to get out, trying hard not to stare at her, but who in the hell was he trying to kid? He couldn’t stop himself if he tried. She was like a magnet to his steel.
    She nodded and disappeared inside, leaving him to sit there and ponder just what it was about this woman that made him want to get to know her so much that
