“Let me get this straight.” I set my sunglasses on the chair next to me and leveled a stare right at her face. “You’re in Blackbear Bluff to eat cheeseburgers and have sex?”
Maybe too blunt. Not as blunt as I could have been, though. I didn’t want there to be any misunderstandings.
“One time with a stranger,” she said. “A man who can do what no other man has.”
“What’s that?” I asked.
She looked straight at me, swallowed the bite of french fry she’d just taken, and said, “Make me come.”
I nearly choked, and I wasn’t even eating anything. My dick was at full attention now. It was starting to get a little uncomfortable. Starting? Hell, my cock had been straining against my zipper since the second I saw her.
But I had to ask. There were some things I just needed to clear up here.
“You’ve never had an orgasm?”
Zoey shook her head. “I have. Just self-induced.”
I swallowed around the lump in my throat. This was getting intense.
“Your boyfriend—”
“Ex-boyfriend,” she corrected. “He was into quickies.”
I didn’t know who this guy was, and aside from his eating habits, I knew nothing about him. But I absolutely wanted to punch him in the nuts.
“I can help you with that,” I said. “Just one problem, though.”
She reached for her tea, leaning forward and putting her face closer to mine than it had been so far. “What’s that?”
The words were spoken so casually, we may as well have been discussing the weather. I watched as she sipped and returned the drink to the table between us, then sat back and stared at me.
Our eyes met when I wore sunglasses, but I was pretty sure she hadn’t realized it. That made this our first true stare, and it went straight to my heart.
Yeah, this wasn’t someone I could fuck and forget. Maybe I should abort the mission now, before I had a taste of this mesmerizing woman.
“I don’t want to be limited to once,” I said without breaking the stare. “If it’s just one night, I’ll make it a night you’ll never forget.”
Her eyes darkened and her chest rose and fell dramatically, which told me my words had landed exactly as I’d hoped. My goal was exactly that—give her a night she’d never forget.
And maybe she wouldn’t be able to walk away from here so easily.
“I have a room.” Zoey nodded toward the inn. “As soon as I can check in, we could…”
She didn’t finish that, which told me everything I needed to know about her. Including the fact that she was not a woman to bang midday in a generic hotel room. No, for this woman, I’d pull out all the stops. I’d show her exactly why she didn’t want to leave this town after one night with me. I’d convince her to stick around…and see where this could go.

ZOEY
My hands were shaking as I pulled into the gravel driveway in front of the log cabin midway up the mountain. Not just my hands. It was tough to press the brake, my legs were trembling so hard.
The man with the smoldering brown eyes was waiting inside for me.
Sighing, I cut the engine and stared at the light streaming through the windows. How would this work? Would he be naked and waiting for me, or would he expect me to undress him? No, he was making me dinner, so there’d be some time before either of us got naked.
As soon as Jared opened the door, it was clear the red cocktail dress I’d worn had been the right choice. It was the very thing I’d worn in Vegas after I dumped my boyfriend for forbidding me to go. It had gotten me plenty of attention on our trip, despite how insecure my ex had made me over my curvy figure, so I was hoping it would go over well with my one-night-stand mountain man.
“Wow,” he said. “You look amazing. You’re just…” He shook his head. “Wow.”
