| WHEN LIGHTNING STRIKES Emma Myles has fought long and hard to forget the one man who set her senses on fire and then left her with a broken heart. But when she winds up trapped in an elevator with him, Emma must acknowledge that her desire for him is still very much alive. No matter how hard he tries, Seth Fraser cannot erase the haunting memories of Emma from his mind, and he will do whatever it takes to remind her exactly how hot they can be. EXCERPT She stooped to collect her briefcase, offering Seth another tantalizing view of creamy thighs and that sexy garter. He imagined removing it with his teeth as he’d done before. As if sensing his thoughts, Emma snapped upright and glared at him over her shoulder. He grinned at her, damn well grateful he hadn’t instituted a dress code that required women’s skirts to be at least knee length. “Go ahead. I forgot something,” she said, walking away from him. “I can wait,” Seth offered. “Don’t bother.” “It’s no trouble.” Emma whipped around. “Don’t,” she warned. Seth heard the tiniest squeak in her voice. That small show of emotion sent hope swirling through him. Maybe it wasn’t too late after all. Seth leaned in the doorway, preventing the doors from closing. “I didn’t realize you were afraid to be alone with me.” Her blue-gray eyes flared. “Always the egotist.” Shrugging, he stepped back into the elevator. “Coward.” Like Seth hoped, Emma took the bait and slid in beside him a second before the doors shut. The elevator began its descent. He knew he had precious little time to say something to Emma to make her want to…to what? Talk to him? Have dinner with him? Spend sweaty, tangled hours in bed? All of the above were exactly what he wanted, but he doubted Emma would be receptive to any of his suggestions just yet. “What?” Emma asked, one delicate brow arched. “Nothing,” Seth mumbled, inwardly kicking himself. Yeah, he was going to make a lot of head way now. What he needed was time, time to convince Emma- The elevator jolted to a stop and they plunged into darkness. Emma gripped his arm and he instinctively wrapped his arms around her, drawing her close. Overhead the emergency lights clicked on, but provide little more illumination than a pair of candles. Emma immediately moved out of his arms, but no more than a foot away. She glanced uneasily at the darkened display panel. “What happened?” Seth shrugged, not at all minding the change of events. It was almost as if fate was working with him to win Emma over, giving him exactly what he needed. Time. “Power outage maybe, from the storm.” Ignoring him, Emma opened the console under the display and retrieved the phone. She waited, tapping her fingers on her leg. After two minutes, during which she didn’t so much as look at him, Emma tucked the phone away, her shoulders sagging. “No one is answering.” Seth bit back a smile. She was clearly not happy about the situation. He on the other hand couldn’t have been more pleased. “George is probably trying to fix the problem. I’m sure he’ll be back at his desk before long.” Something in his tone must have alerted her to his increasing pleasure. She poked a finger at his chest. “You’re enjoying this aren’t you?” Seth sensed it was a rhetorical question, but couldn’t help responding. “It’s not everyday a man gets trapped in a confined space with a beautiful woman. I’d be a fool not to appreciate it.” “You mean take advantage of it don’t you?” She asked innocently, her eyes unreadable. “Well there is a saying about not looking a gift horse in the mouth.” Her eyes flashed. “Cut the crap. You’re talking to me remember, I know what you’re like, what your type is after.” He was well aware of what she was hinting at. And it was as much his fault that he let rumors get spread around as anyone else’s. A man didn’t date a stripper, even if it was just once, without opening himself to a certain amount of speculation. “And what is it you think I’m after?” Emma turned away from him. “Just forget it. How about we don’t talk, okay?” “And if we’re here all night?” She tensed. “Then we’ll spend it in silence.” |
