volleyball?”
    “I played a little in gym class when I was in high school, but I’ve never played beach volleyball.” She glanced down at the sand. A hint of embarrassment darted across her features. She dropped her voice to a near whisper. “I would have been in the way, would have slowed up the game. I’m not very athletic.”
    “Really?” He leveled a questioning look in her direction. His voice held a teasing quality. “I wouldn’t say that. You seem very athletic and coordinated to me.”
    An immediate blush spread across her cheeks. There it was again, that almost painfully shy manner that would occasionally escape from behind her ultra-organized façade, which also hid the hottest partner who had provided him with the most incredible night of sex he had experienced in a long time…perhaps ever. He looked at her for a moment, wondering what was going on in her head.
    “If I give you enough notice, maybe schedule the event far enough in advance, would you like to join in the game next time?” It was as much a challenge as a question.
    “I don’t think so.” Vicki tried to keep her tone all business so she wouldn’t give away her thoughts. “I’m sure the other players wouldn’t want their game slowed down by a novice.”
    No question in her mind, he was baiting her. She refused to succumb to the tactic she suspected was just another attempt on his part to deter her from her chosen goals. He had made several such references, and she had become accustomed to them. He had his philosophy and she had hers—polar opposites with perspectives on life that simply did not fit together in any way. The only thing about them that did fit together was his cock and her pussy.
    And they fit together perfectly.
    The nagging pull of her instincts told her Blake was a very dangerous man to be around. Not dangerous in a physical sense, but most certainly an emotional one. She took a large swallow of her iced tea, as if to signal the end to her wandering thoughts. Regardless of how hot the sex had been, he remained as far removed from her concept of the ideal man as anyone could be. She forced her thoughts to more sensible matters as she rose from the deck chair.
    “I checked with the bank. Mr. Edwards cashed the check about an hour after I gave it to him. I imagine…” She took a calming breath, then swallowed down the lump in her throat. “I imagine that pretty well speaks for itself. But just in case, I’ll give the rental office a call on the off chance that someone might be there. I need to get myself situated somewhere so I can unpack my boxes and set up my office.
    “I can’t continue with this unsettled feeling, and it certainly isn’t fair to you. I’m sure my presence has hampered your daily activities.” She glanced toward the volleyball court and thought about Tim with those two women. Would Blake be engaged in sex games with the other two if she hadn’t been here? “I’ve certainly intruded into your social life.”
    “No, you haven’t.” Blake flashed on the scene of Tim headed inside with the two women and wondered if that had anything to do with Vicki’s comment. Having been in Tim’s playroom, he didn’t have any doubts about the activities happening inside his neighbor’s house at the moment. The only real question was whether he’d also be in Tim’s playroom if Vicki hadn’t returned from the village much sooner than he’d thought she would and if he hadn’t spotted her sitting on his deck. Or would the memory of last night have kept him from engaging in mindless sex with women who didn’t mean anything more to him than providing a place to poke his dick?
    The more he thought about it, the more he came to the realization that he would have declined the obvious invitation from the blonde and returned to his own house whether or not Vicki had returned from the village.
    She nervously brushed at an imaginary loose tendril of hair. “I’d better make that phone call.” She
