Chapter One
“ Where are you taking me for
dinner?” Normally, Tansy wouldn’t be so pushy, but she was hungry.
She’d had a few snacks since her sister Rose left here with her
mate, but it had been nearly twenty-four hours since her last full
meal and she needed something more substantial than a few crackers
and a cup of soup.
Sighing, she watched Armand as he gave
a few last minute instructions to his manager. He was so handsome.
She was almost positive he was the man she wanted to spend the rest
of her life with. However, she couldn’t shake the feeling that
there was something that just wasn’t quite right. She was afraid
she shouldn’t feel this way for him. After all, over the last two
weeks, she’d been thinking of no one but Antonio Saladino and now
she was drooling over Armand. What was wrong with her? Shouldn’t
she pick one man and stick with him?
Tansy felt as though she was being
fickle and she didn’t like it. It was one thing to lust after two
men she didn’t know, it was quite another to find herself trying to
decide between two men she wanted to date.
One at a time, please.
She bit the tip of her thumb, deep in
thought as she watched Armand working with his people. He was so
handsome with his dark hair and chocolate brown eyes. He was tall,
too. That was always a bonus. She wished he was just a bit more
muscular like Antonio though.
What bothered her most about the
situation was that she was attracted to Armand as much as she was
to Antonio which was more than she had wanted any other man in her
life. She just didn’t know why it didn’t seem right or why she kept
thinking of Antonio when she should be thinking of Armand and their
upcoming dinner together and, she thought with a blush, the
subsequent dessert.
“ Our dinner destination is a
surprise.” Armand smiled at her and winked, his dark eyes filled
with sensual promise that only made her feel even worse that she
couldn’t keep the other man from her thoughts. “I will take you to
dinner, then we will retire to my home where we will indulge
ourselves in other, more delicious pursuits.”
Just the thought of what he meant by
that made her shiver. Tansy waved her hands in front of her face.
“Hooo! You really know how to make a girl tremble with
anticipation.” Her insides twisted with that same need they always
did when she looked at him or talked to him. Her tummy
flip-flopped, and her hands trembled, but why didn’t her heart feel
as though it was stuttering the way it did around Antonio? Tansy
sighed, wondering why the other man kept invading her thoughts and
frowned.
She felt her face heat when the last of
Armand’s employees left the office. Thoughts of what they could do
here in this room had goosebumps covering her skin. It was strange
how she couldn’t wait to be alone with him, yet dreaded it all at
the same time. She fidgeted in her seat and slid forward, her hands
gripping the arms of her chair.
“ Can we go now?” Was she in
such a hurry to leave so they could be alone later, or was she
afraid of being alone with Armand now? Tansy bit her lip, wondering
what she was doing here at all.
She took a deep breath and sighed. When
she looked at Armand, she remembered why she wanted to be with him.
He was the hottest man she’d ever laid eyes on in her life. What
bothered her was what happened when she wasn’t looking at him. When
she wasn’t staring into his beautiful eyes or at his handsome face,
she thought of Antonio and how just being here with Armand seemed
like a betrayal.
They had to get out of here. If they
didn’t, she was going to jump Armand’s bones right here in his
office. While office sex wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, she didn’t
want their first time to be on the top of his desk…or worse yet, on
the floor.
Tansy was certain that was the reason
she wanted to leave here. It had nothing to do with the fact that
she wasn’t sure she should be here with him at all. What she
