she quickly sat up. “This is going to be difficult, isn’t it?”
    Nodding, he walked to the wall of windows. “Yeah. It sure is.”
    Outside, the afternoon sun reflected off Lake Michigan. He’d like to rent a boat and take them out on the lake, show her the town from that angle. They’d have plenty of time together while Garret was filming, and he needed to find activities that wouldn’t strain his self-control.
    He stayed where he was, even when he heard her grab her shopping bags and walk into the bedroom. No amount of silent demands made his cock soften.
    When the doorbell rang again, he had no choice but to answer it with a rise in his jeans.
    The room service waiter had just carried the tray into the room when Megan came from the bedroom. “Would you please put it on the coffee table?”
    She plopped on the couch and immediately stole one of his French fries.
    “Hey.” He closed the door behind the waiter and walked toward her. “You’re the one who wanted fresh fruit. Get out of my fries.”
    She grinned. “I couldn’t resist. They smell so good.”
    He sat next to her and ate one. “Uh huh. Taste good, too.” He held one up to her lips but pulled it back when she bit for it. “I’ll make you a deal. You can have half my fries if I can have all the strawberries on your plate.”
    “All of them?” She picked one up and held it to his mouth.
    They ate from each other’s fingers.
    He leaned in for a kiss, mingling the potato and fruit in their mouths. Damn, he liked her. Almost too much. Was he intentionally searching for all her good points and ignoring her bad ones?
    He ended the kiss. “Tell me what I’m missing.” He furrowed his brow. He hadn’t meant to say that out loud.
    “Missing?” She picked up her light tuna wrap.
    He shook his head. “You just seem too perfect. Like I’ve been looking…” He’d almost admitted he’d been looking for someone like her. “I need to know more about you. I can’t help but feel we’re connecting, here.”
    Her cheeks pinkened. “I feel that, too. But do you really want to hear all my secrets?”
    “Yeah, I do.”
    “And you’ll tell me all yours?” She grinned and grabbed another fry.
    He set his jaw and stared for a moment. He had his own history, one he didn’t share very often. But he wanted to open up to Megan. “Let me start.”
    “Okay.” She set her wrap down and got comfortable on the couch.
    “I’m impatient.” He shrugged. “Hell, you can tell that. I’m asking some personal questions after knowing you for less than two days.”
    “Definitely impatient.” She winked. “What else?”
    “Judgmental. But in a good way. I run the family ranch, and I’m a good judge of character. I know when I’m being lied to, when someone’s hiding something, when there’s a cause to be cautious.”
    She tipped her head, her eyes revealing a spike of temper. “And which of those am I?”
    “That’s the thing.” He felt mystified. “I don’t get that from you. Like you’ve got nothing to hide.”
    A half-cough, half-laugh burst from her chest. “Really? Oh, man, you are a superhero.” She looked into his eyes. “Everyone has secrets, Trey. Mine…” She shrugged. “I guess they aren’t very damning.”
    He didn’t move, didn’t speak. Waited for her to continue.
    “I’m a recluse most of the year. I had some problems with…” She swallowed hard and shivered. “In college, I had a stalker. It was bad. Bad enough that he went to jail.”
    Trey eased his arm around her and pulled her close. “I’m sorry, sweetheart.”
    She shrugged. “It’s over, and I feel safe now, but I like my privacy.”
    He kissed her forehead. She’d love it on the ranch. The urge to protect her, hide her from the world in the safest place he knew came as a surprise to him.
    “Ready for another secret?”
    “Shoot.”
    She nervously tugged at the fabric of her pants. “I changed my name.” Her eyes were wary as she looked up at him.
