Her phone rang. It was Hannah.

“Are you free tomorrow night?” Hannah asked.

“Yes, I am,” Zoe said fervently. “Where?”

“Sea Point?”

“La Perla?”

“Seven?”

“Yes!” Zoe called out, smiling for the first time today.

“I’ll pick you up,” Hannah sang and rang off.

Zoe pulled the pins out of her hair, shook it loose, and got into her car. At least she had something nice to look forward to.

When Dale reachedthe window of the room he’d just shown Zoe and looked down to the parking lot, he was just in time to see her hair tumbling down over her shoulders. A need so fierce that it robbed him of his breath seared through his body.

She had her phone to her ear and was smiling.

Something he hadn’t seen her doing today.

He turned away. Tomorrow night he was taking out another woman and he was going to enjoy every second. He was going to have sex with her as soon as was decently possible because, damn it, he had to get Zoe Sutherland out of his system.

The only reason she’d agreed to do this job was because it would be good for her business. She was like all the other women he’d met—not really interested in him as a person but more in what he had and what they could get through him.

At least she didn’t pretend to like his company; today she’d been all business and cool. The way he’d wanted it, the way he’d made sure it stayed all day.

So why the hell did he keep thinking about her wrapped around him, her body pressed close to him, her lips underneath his? Damn it, he had to get laid tomorrow night or he might do something he’d regret.

At least he’d left the damn panties at home this morning. Not that it was helping. He could still picture her wearing them.

Swearing, he stormed down the chairs. His phone rang. It was Darryn.

“Yes,” he answered shortly.

“I have a date tomorrow night,” Darryn said grumpily.

“So have I,” Dale said and couldn’t help smiling at his brother’s tone. “But at least I don’t sound so unhappy about it.”

“Join us, please? I’ll pick you up.”

Dale frowned. Darryn sounded weird. “Is everything okay?” he asked.

“I’m fine. Just want everyone off my back for a change, Mom especially. I’m taking a woman on a date. Are you joining us or not?” Darryn asked irritably.

Dale just laughed. Normally Darryn was a nice guy, but over the last few months, he’d been impossible to have around. Maybe spending time with him after work was a good idea.
