Page 10 of Kane's Bounty
He smiled that devastating smile again. “Well, at least I can solve your problem.”

Kane wasas good as his word. He made one phone call when they arrived in the airport and booked them a room. Before they went to the hotel, he asked the taxi driver to take them shopping. He not only bought her a bathing suit, he also purchased her the toiletries she’d need and a change of clothes more suitable for the tropics. He got a few things for himself too and paid in hundred-dollar bills.
She couldn’t help herself. “Bounty hunting business pays pretty good, I guess.”
He didn’t turn, but she could see his grin. “I have special talents, so I get special pay.”
The taxi drove them to Casa Dorada Hotel and Resort. It was a beautiful place on the beach, walking distance from the center of Cabo San Lucas.
At the check-in desk, a lovely woman handed them two glasses of champagne. Lena downed hers in one swallow. Kane looked over and raised his eyebrow before handing his glass to her. She took it, but sipped more slowly now that she saw he and the clerk were watching her.
Lena loved Mexico. Her father had been Spanish, but she had always loved the Latin feel of Mexico and the warmth of the people.
The clerk was studying her. She smiled back.
“¿Habla español, Señora?”
“No. Sorry, I don’t,” she said in her best New Jersey accent.
The woman just smiled and nodded. Kane looked at her sharply.
When they were safely ensconced in their room, she downed the remaining champagne.
“Why did you lie about speaking Spanish?”
She opened the verandah door and walked outside. A cool breeze flowed in from the ocean. The bright blue waves rolled over white sand beaches. “How do you know I lied?”
He stepped behind her and wrapped his arms around her. She was only five foot three inches tall. Kane towered over her. She leaned back against his hard body, her head against his chest. He was a wall of warm, hard man. He didn’t wear cologne. His scent was all male, outdoors and spice.
“I know when you lie.”
“That’s inconvenient,” she said.
His laugh rumbled against her back. “So why did you lie?” He pressed his mouth against her ear.
Excitement and fear hummed through her. “I didn’t want her to ask me personal questions. It just seemed easier.”
She felt him nod. “I want to make love to you, Lena.”
Thank god.“I want you too.” She closed her eyes and allowed herself to melt into his embrace.
“Are you sure? I sense fear now that we’re alone. You actually seem more afraid of me now than you were when I was toting you through the streets of Savannah.”
Turning into him, she had to strain her neck to look up at him. “It’s been a long time since I’ve wanted to have sex, Kane. A very long time.”
He sat down on the chair on the verandah and pulled her, still standing, between his legs. “I don’t know what that means, but I have a feeling it’s important.”
She shook her head. “Can’t we just fuck? Do we have to analyze everything?”
One side of his mouth pulled up and the spark in his eyes returned. “It’s very hot when you say ‘fuck’.”
Sitting down, his face was eye level with her tits. He rubbed his cheek against her chest, abrading her nipples through her blouse.
“Why do I feel this way about you?” he asked.
She suspected he didn’t expect an answer. She just allowed him to keep rubbing against her. The friction shocked sensations down to her toes.
