lips.
Crackle.
Sizzle.
Sizzle.
That fiery connection we had from long ago
came roaring back to life as he held my gaze with a smoldering
stare.
Oh, boy.
This trip might get complicated.
Real complicated.
He was going to be hard to resist, especially
as he reeled me in with one hot sexy glance. It was best to end
this conversation while I still could. Otherwise, I might throw
myself into his big strapping arms and let him do all kinds of
delicious things to me, like hold me down and make love to me.
Whoa, Nelly.
He was so damn dangerous to my
self-control.
I cleared my throat, trying to cool down my
hormones. “If I’m gonna stay a couple of days, I should make some
phone calls. Will you excuse me?”
“Sure. Tell Emma I said hello.”
“I will.” I managed to scoot my chair back
and walk out of the room.
My cheeks were flushed and my body was in
overdrive, wanting something I couldn’t have. Only Beau could make
me feel so much with a few words and a sexy stare.
He still wanted me.
God knows, I wanted him.
Ignoring my body’s demands, I headed back to
my room. Grabbing my phone out of my purse, I called Emma as I
walked through some French doors out onto a beautiful stone balcony
located outside my bedroom.
“Hey, Sugarpop!” I greeted as the fresh ocean
air caressed my cheek.
“Hey, where are you?” my sister’s sweet voice
asked.
“Um…that’s a very good question. I met up
with Beau to talk about Charlie and now I’m in a bit of a pickle. I
have a huge favor to ask of you.”
“What is it?”
“I need you to cover for me at the salon
because I’m currently out of the country.”
“What? Where are you?” she asked with barely
contained excitement.
“The Bahamas.”
“What are you doing there?”
“Beau had some papers for me to sign for
Charlie’s trust.”
“What kind of money are we talking
about?”
She was still bold in her questions.
“Why are you always concerned about that
stuff?”
“I don’t know. I just wanna know.”
I sighed into the phone. “It’s more money
than Charlie could spend in a lifetime.”
“Wow. How do you feel about it?”
“I don’t know. I worry he won’t make anything
of himself and just live on his father’s money floating through
life.”
“Maybe you could put some conditions on his
trust.”
“Like what?”
“Like he has to give back to the
community.”
“Oh, I like that idea. Charlie does have a
heart to help people.”
“He does and this will keep him attached to
his roots.”
“You’re right. I’ll talk to Beau.”
“How are things going with him?”
“Okay,” I answered vaguely, even as my cheeks
flushed red.
“Mm-hmm...I bet they are,” she teased.
I couldn’t get anything by her.
We talked a little longer and she promised to
change my appointments as we said goodbye. I was glad I had a
sister I could rely on.
After I got off the phone with her, I turned
my attention to buying supplies for my stay. I was going to have to
head into town for those. I wasn’t sure where to go, so I tracked
down Beau in his study to see if he could tell me where to
shop.
When I found him, he was staring intently at
his laptop as he sat at his desk. I was so glad he had overcome his
reading issues and become the confident businessman he clearly was.
He never ceased to amaze me. It was one of the many things I loved
about him.
“I’d like to talk to you about the conditions
on Charlie’s trust,” I said as he glanced up from the screen.
“What about the conditions?”
“I don’t like the idea of handing him money.
I want him to be old enough to handle the responsibility, help in
the community, work and further his education.”
“It’s already done.”
“Really?”
“You didn’t expect me to write a check for a
hundred million dollars, did you?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never considered the
responsibility of having so much money before. How do you do
it?”
“Carefully. I earned it the hard
