We fell in each other’s arms and were locked in a tight, but kind of awkward half-seated hug when Jake appeared.
Camila unfolded to her feet.“Good morning, Jake.”
“Hey, Cam.”
While my heartbeat leaped to my throat, I stood up, completely captivated by his sexy prowl across the kitchen.In a black, long-sleeved thermal, dark wash jeans and well-worn boots, he was....Was I supposed to want to jump his bones moreafterwe’d had great—no marvelous—sex?
I slid my hands in the back pockets of my jeans and smiled.“Good morn—”
His arm banded around my lower back to fuse me against him while his other hand cupped my nape.Then, his mouth was on mine.My hands flew out of my pockets, and I gripped his shoulders.
It wasn’t a light, ‘good morning’ peck.His tongue dove in as he pulled me onto my toes.
When he slanted my head at the angle he wanted me, my body hummed.He deepened the kiss, and I curled my arms around his neck.
The kiss ended, but his hold remained tight while the rumble of his voice feathered on my tingling lips.
“Good morning, baby.”
While I was busy getting my brain and vocal cords to work, he pecked my nose.“After you had something to eat, we’ll talk.”
Then, he casually stalked out of the kitchen.
“Ready for breakfast?”Camila asked, and her voice was trembling with laughter.
Still trying to catch my breath, I nodded.

Jake
Pacing to the window of my office, I finished giving Zook an update and rubbed the back of my neck.
Humor threaded his voice.“You’re keeping her close.Good.The insurance money will be released in a few days.”
“Thanks, Zook.”
“Ciao, son.”
I pocketed my cell and rolled my neck side to side.
The man I thought I’d fallen in love with.I hadn’t meant to eavesdrop on their conversation but hearing her comparing herself to a horror movie victim and calling herself stupid for falling for me had hit hard.
Cam was right, Sienna’s latent sensuality had exploded, making anyone with eyes in their head pant for her.If I’d stayed in the kitchen after that kiss, I’d have dragged her to the nearest bed and sunk deep inside her tight body.Fuck, I’d have taken her on any flat surface.
My cell beeped.Sile and his guy had arrived.
Minutes later, the door opened on Sile and a young woman with short hair, carrying a small, black backpack.Cam came out of the kitchen followed by Sienna who stayed a few feet behind with her hands in her back pockets.
The tech wiz flicked a casual hand in greetings and slung the backpack from her shoulder before jerking her chin toward me.“Just in the guest’s suite?”
After I’d confirmed, she sauntered down the hallway, but her pace slowed down when she reached Sienna.
“Gorgeous eyes,” the woman said.When Sienna smiled, she added, “Gorgeous everything.”
Yeah.Panting for her.
Cam lifted her frown at me.“What’s wrong with Sienna’s quarters?”
