Not that she really knew what this was—a night? Two? The full two weeks?

Oh, God... can I really have him to myself for two whole weeks? Am I being greedy?

“Sienna?”

Turning her head, she realized he must have asked her something and she was too lost in her own head to hear him. “Sorry?”

The grin he gave her was lethal. “I just wanted to make sure that you were... sure about this. Because if you’ve changed your mind, we can drop you off at your hotel.”

Reaching over, he took her hand in his and she nearly melted into a puddle right there. His hand was so much larger than hers and felt so warm and wonderful, and she had to wonder if it was weird that she was already this turned on from such a minor touch.

“I’m serious,” he said solemnly. “If you’re not comfortable...”

“Have I said that I’m not comfortable?” she countered as panic started to trickle in.

“Well... no. But...”

“Are you uncomfortable? Because I’d completely understand if this was weird for you. I mean, it’s been...”

She never got to finish.

Mick wrapped his free hand around her nape and hauled her in close for a kiss that was pure bliss. He didn’t dive in to devour, this was meant to calm her ramblings with just a hint of seduction.

Not that he needed to. Sienna already knew that, as long as he wasn’t having second thoughts, all he had to do was breathe and look at her the way he had a moment ago, and she’d be putty in his hands.

Slowly, he broke the kiss. “Damn,” he murmured.

Licking her lips to savor the taste of him for just a moment more, she let out a soft sigh. “Is that a good damn or a bad one?” she whispered.

“Good. Very good. Too good,” he added for emphasis. “With this traffic, we’re going to be stuck in this car for at least another fifteen minutes and there is no way I’m going to do all the things I want to do to you in the backseat of an SUV.”

Swallowing hard, Sienna’s eyes met his. “You already know what you want to do to me?”

“Sweetheart, for years I’ve thought about the things I wanted to do to you. With you,” he corrected.

That was... surprising. “You’ve... you’ve thought about me?”

The hand resting on her nape gently skimmed around to cup her cheek. “Sienna Ashley, you may not believe this, but... I’ve thought about you a lot. I play that last day over and over in my mind. Walking away from you is one of my biggest regrets.”

Eyes wide, she whispered, “Really?”

His lips hovered over hers again. “Oh, yeah. Really.”

Then he was kissing her again and this time there was a lot more heat and need and urgency. The only reason Sienna was tempted to break it was to scream at the driver to go faster.

But she didn’t because that would have meant stopping what they were doing, and it was just too damn good to allow that to happen. If this was just a preview of what was to come, she wasn’t sure she’d survive it.

For years she had dreamed about what it would be like to sleep with this man. Long before she even knew what sex was, she used to imagine them sharing a bed like married people did. Then, the older she got, her imagination got quite vivid when she thought about the things she’d like to do if ever she got the opportunity with him.

And now that it was actually happening, she prayed she didn’t build it all up too much in her head.

Or that she’d be a disappointment to him.

There wasn’t a doubt in her mind that he had spent the last twenty years dating and sleeping with beautiful, famous women. Probably supermodels. He lived in a world that was known for debauchery and meaningless sex. Just from some of the stories he shared over dinner, he’d hung out all over the world in the best hotels and on yachts and in castles, and she would bet good money that he didn’t sleep alone in most of those places.

Now he was here with her, and she was just Sienna. Plain, boring Sienna, who never traveled, who studied neuropsychology, and typically wore sensible underwear.

Uh-oh...I think I’ve made a mistake...
