chance to tug her hand from his. Even so, the victory was hollow. Now she knew she couldn’t possibly stay here, for she’d lied—she desperately wanted to know what would have happened next. But she figured she could get him to change his mind and hustle her into a hotel pronto. ‘Aren’t I going to cramp your style?’
    â€˜How so?’
    â€˜Who did you go out with last Friday night?’
    â€˜No one.’ He shrugged. ‘I was in Sydney working.’
    â€˜OK.’ Dani frowned. ‘What about the one before that?’
    His hesitation was telling.
    â€˜A woman. Obviously,’ Dani said, her voice as melted-chocolate smooth as his had been before.
    Slowly he nodded.
    â€˜And the Friday before that?’ Dani enquired. ‘A different woman, right?’
    He squared his stance, facing her full on. ‘Yes.’
    â€˜And you slept with them.’ Still calm, determinedly not judging.
    â€˜No.’
    That made her pause a moment. ‘Kissed them good-night, at least.’
    â€˜Yes.’
    Yeah. She knew what his kisses were like. ‘So isn’t it going to be tricky for you to bring a woman home when you have me staying here?’ She let a touch of taunt out then. She had to get him to realise sticking her in a hotel was a much better option. The prospect of staying in close confines with himmade her feel giddy—she wasn’t sure she could keep her need-to-shimmy urges under control.
    â€˜You know, you’re right.’ He had a devilish look on his face. ‘It might be a bit weird to bring dates home while having you as my little flatmate here. But that’s no problem.’ He paused, and she swore she could see the wickedness rippling through the rest of him as he stepped closer. ‘You can be my date while you’re staying here.’
    â€˜What?’
    â€˜There are a few things I have to go to and, you’re right, I like a companion. No reason why that can’t be you.’
    She opened her mouth but he put a finger on it.
    â€˜There isn’t anyone else around right now anyway.’ His green eyes bored into hers as he oh-so-unsubtly let her know he was available.
    â€˜Not this week, you mean.’ So there damn well shouldn’t be or he shouldn’t have kissed her like that.
    â€˜So you can stay here and save, just for a week or two.’ He ignored her hit. ‘Until you’re in a position to take a place of your own. Meantime I have a dinner to go to tomorrow night—very nice venue, black tie. Don’t you love a little glamour?’
    â€˜No.’ She threw him a dark look, trying to keep a grip on herself. This wasn’t what she’d meant to happen. He hadn’t even bothered to learn her name—she needed to keep that little fact up front and centre in her head.
    â€˜I thought all women did.’
    â€˜Not me.’
    â€˜Oh.’ He smiled. ‘I’ll have to help you change your mind on that. Dances like this one can be a lot of fun.’
    â€˜I thought you said it was a dinner.’
    â€˜Followed by dancing.’ He looked thoughtful. ‘Have yougot something to wear?’ He ignored her start of annoyance. ‘We can go shopping tomorrow afternoon if you’d like.’
    Go shopping? ‘You don’t need to Pretty Woman me, Alex,’ she said sharply. ‘I have something to wear.’
    â€˜Great, that’s settled, then.’ He turned away flashing a Cheshire Cat smile, then turned back just as quick. ‘Oh…’
    â€˜What?’ Rattled, she snapped—had she just agreed to go out with him tomorrow night? How had that happened?
    â€˜What about you?’ With that too-bland expression he moved back into her space. ‘Who did you go out with last Friday night?’
    â€˜I—’ She blinked. No one, of course.
    â€˜What about the Friday before? Is there a boyfriend I ought to know about? I mean,
