and barely lived in. A desk and couch were the only pieces of furniture inside. Dust had settled on the hard wood floors.  
    But there in the middle looking so damn sexy her toes curled, stood Brenton.
    He’d been waiting for her, she could tell.
    Like a forbidden fruit, he enticed her, and she found herself next to him in seconds.
    “I was wondering if you’d show.” His deep voice rumbled through the room.
    “Well, you know me. This is a challenge, and I do love a challenge.” She’d planned on being all business. Now that she was here, business barely entered her mind.
    “I’d planned on waiting, but now that you’re here, I can’t.”
    His words barely registered as his head descended and their kiss picked up where it had left off at his house.
    God, he felt good. Her hands ran across his shoulders and down his back, the starch from his shirt scratching under her slightly calloused fingers.
    His hands ventured lower, cupping her bottom and sending warning thrills through her entire body as he molded her closer to him.
    His lips moved to her neck just under her ear. “I love the way you taste.” His whispered words sent her heart beat through the roof. How could he speak? She couldn’t form coherent words.
    She moaned as his hands trailed down the front of her shirt, and then tugged it out of her jeans.
    When his fingers splayed across her belly, she inhaled sharply at the almost burn that singed in their presence.
    Slowly his hands worked their way upward until he was massaging her breasts through her bra.
    She leaned her head back allowing him even more access as his fingers plucked her now hardened nipples.
    God, he felt so good. She never wanted this to end, felt sure she’d expire from heat any second.
    She flicked the buttons on his shirt open and let her own hands start walking. His nipples were as hard as hers and she couldn’t resist a taste.
    Leaning to him, her mouth covered his nipple and she was rewarded with his hiss of breath. When her tongue darted out, his hands shot to her head, his fingers weaving through her hair.
    He pulled her mouth back to his and pushed her against the desk. Her legs hit the wood at the same moment his cell phone rang bringing her back to her senses.
    She pushed him away and tried to bring some semblance of order to her clothing as he finally moved away to answer the call.
    Her lips were tender. She was sure they were scarred with the memory of his kiss. Her breath was uneven, her hands shaky.
    Why couldn’t she control herself with him? Was it the  
    Lucifer syndrome? And why the hell was he so calm as if his pulse wasn’t racing ninety-to-nothing?
    She heard him say something about new schools being part of the plan before he hung up the phone.
    When he came back to her, he brushed her hair away from her face. “Sorry about that.”
    She moved away. “Don’t be ridiculous. When business calls, it calls.”
    He pulled her close. "I'd rather be doing business like this.” He bent his head to kiss her again, but she stopped him.
    “I’d rather we come to an agreement first.”
      He nodded, suddenly all business in a completely different kind of way.
    “You’re right, of course. That’s why I wanted to meet you here. My main concern is Nina.”
    Relief flooded through her when she realized he was willing to stop the seduction. Even if it was a little perturbing to know he could just turn off the practically visible passion that coursed through the room only seconds before, she knew she couldn’t resist another onslaught like the one he’d just performed.
    “Of course.”
    “I don’t want her hurt, and I’m worried this could easily hurt her.”
    Perfect. She could use those feelings to her advantage.
    “I understand completely.”
    “So what agreement did you want to come to?”
    He didn’t sound nearly as understanding as she did.
    “I think it would be best if you and I get to know each other. I’ll show you around town. You take me to your
