home.
    He’d already scoped the place out before, so he knew security was everywhere at that place. Chance and his little gadgets. The guy must think he was so damn smart.
    Not smart enough.
    Because if I can’t get inside to dear Gwen, I’ll just make Gwen come to me.
    Playtime was over. He’d warned Gwen. The real party was about to begin.
    “And it’s going to be hot,” he whispered.
    ***
    She’d never been in Chance’s home before. And everywhere she looked, Gwen saw Chance. His touch. His presence. She could practically feel him, all around her.
    Almost as if he were in bed with her.
    He wasn’t, of course. He was down the hallway. Playing protector because she’d totally freaked out back at her apartment. But when a stalker called and basically threatened you, wasn’t a little freak out normal? Gwen sure thought so.
    And she also thought that sleep was about a million miles away.
    She shoved off the covers. She was still wearing her jeans and her t-shirt. After that phone call, she’d been a little gun shy about just stripping off her clothes. Biting her lip, Gwen tip-toed toward the door. She’d been in the bedroom for over an hour, staring up at the ceiling, trying to decide why someone would want to make her life hell.
    So surely Chance had fallen asleep in that time, right?
    She opened the door and crept down the hallway. Her bare toes curled against the wooden floor. He’d turned off all the lights so she kept her hand against the wall as she walked. Gwen didn’t hear him so she figured that had to mean Chance was sleeping—
    “Where are you going?”
    Or not.
    She jumped, then automatically put her hand over her heart, as if that movement could somehow calm its frantic beat. “Jeez, Chance, were you trying to scare me to death?”
    He turned on the lamp near the sofa. She noticed that he was sitting up and staring straight at her. He’d taken off his shirt and her gaze couldn’t help but dip down and take in all of those wonderful muscles. It was almost a crime for a man to look that good.
    “Gwen…”
    She snapped her gaze back up to his face. “I couldn’t get to sleep, so I was just going to grab something to drink. I didn’t mean to wake you up.”
    “You didn’t wake me.”
    Gwen took a few quick steps toward him.
    “I was wide awake,” he continued. “Sitting in here and thinking about how close you were to me.”
    She stopped taking those steps.
    “I was trying to play the gentleman and leave you alone, but then you opened the door and you came to me.”
    She thought about retreating.
    “Do you have any idea…” Chance asked her, voice roughening. “How much I want you?”
    In that moment, she wished for the darkness. She wanted him to turn off the light because it would be so much easier to bare her soul in the darkness. But the light was on and maybe it was time to stop being afraid. “I offered myself to you before.” Because she’d wanted him for so long. “You told me you weren’t interested.”
    His hand clenched around the arm of the couch. “The hell I did. I told you I worked for your father and that I was supposed to keep my hands
off
you.”
    “Because you were worried that you’d get fired if you were caught screwing the boss’s daughter.”
    Chance rose, standing to his full, impressive height. As he walked toward her, his body blocked the light from that lamp. He was a tall shadow, coming right at her. “I knew I’d be the one screwed,” Chance said, voice deepening even more, “if I had you. Because once wouldn’t be enough for me. If I had you, I wouldn’t ever be able to let you go.”
    Gwen shook her head. She’d misheard. It was late. She was awake, but tired and—
    “You weren’t ready for what I’d need from you. You still aren’t.”
    Now she bristled. “What about what I need?”
    He stopped in front of her. “What do you need?”
    Oh, hell. “Back then, I needed you. You were the man I wanted, the man I—” Gwen stopped
