you asked me, I can ask you, right? I don’t want to put you in a difficult position as my escort.’
    Escort was not a good word—the unpleasant connotation compounded with his offer to take her shopping pushed her defence button. She wasn’t anybody’s paid-for plaything. She’d prefer to be the player, not the toy.
    â€˜Of course you won’t.’ She lifted her chin and fired a shot at him. ‘I don’t do “boyfriends” as such, but I have a few joy boys around. I choose one to service me occasionally but we share nothing more than that. Variety ,’ she added with a conspiratorial whisper. ‘You know.’ She was quite sure he did know. Quite sure he had a whole variety line-up of lovers himself—only his wouldn’t be imaginary.
    â€˜Occasionally?’ His brows lifted. ‘Only occasionally?’ His smile was feral. ‘No wonder you burned so hot in my arms.’
    She opened her mouth to snap at him but this time he laid his whole hand across her mouth, leaning in to quiz her. ‘You don’t believe in romance?’
    She pulled back from the sizzling touch. ‘I don’t believein romance, relationships or anything like that. I certainly don’t believe in marriage.’
    â€˜A free woman?’
    â€˜Absolutely,’ she declared. ‘An independent one.’ Her aim was to take only what she wanted when she wanted and leave the rest of the rubbish for others to suffer through. Except she’d not really managed it yet and now wasn’t the time to start trying. She had something way more important to be focused on. It had taken her long enough to earn back the money her father had stolen, and truthfully she’d come over too soon—without all she should have. So she didn’t need distractions now—not of any kind.
    He stepped even closer, gleaming green eyes trained on her. ‘Don’t you believe it can happen, Dani? A look across a room? Love at first sight?’
    â€˜Never in a million years.’ She straightened her shoulders. ‘And you don’t, either.’ The man was a complete playboy. But he had every right to be—he had every necessary asset: the looks, the humour, the drive.
    â€˜No,’ he agreed, looking her over, top to toe and back again so every inch of her skin was sizzling. ‘Not love. But lust is another matter.’ He tilted his head as if to study her from a different angle. ‘Why are you breathing so hard? Something bothering you?’
    â€˜I don’t like confined spaces.’ Hell, he got to her.
    â€˜I know the house isn’t huge, but it’s not exactly tiny.’
    It wasn’t tiny at all. She stared into his green eyes. ‘I don’t like feeling trapped.’
    â€˜You’re not trapped,’ he said calmly, then moved fast, his arms hauling her to him. ‘But now you are.’
    She twisted in his embrace. ‘Watch it, I’ve a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.’
    â€˜Really?’
    His muscles tightened—catching her, stopping her. It felt appallingly good. She twisted again, only succeeded in pressing her breasts even harder against his chest. Her nipples screamed with sensitivity. ‘OK, no. But I have done self-defence classes.’ She tried to twist free one more time.
    â€˜Let me guess—practising against other women, right?’
    Damn. She fought harder. But he must have had some kind of fighter training too. It couldn’t just be his sheer strength stopping her. Oh, hell, the adrenalin surged through her—excitement, challenge, anticipation. She summoned her strength back up.
    â€˜I don’t think you should do that again.’ He grunted as she hit out with her leg.
    â€˜Why not?’ Panting, she sent him a death look.
    â€˜Because all you’re doing is turning me on.’ Goaded, he pushed her from him. ‘And you’re turned on too. You’re aching for
