Sylvia clutched the bathrobe around her, a lazy allure in her eyes as she protested in a low voice, “We’re at home—don’t you think this might not be appropriate?”

Not to mention, before they’d even come back home, they had already...

Gabriel gently placed her onto the bed, then reached out to brush her damp lips with his fingers. In a hushed tone, he said, “We’re not doing anything.”

Sylvia arched an eyebrow. “Are we just going to lie under the covers and talk?”

Gabriel lay down beside her, calm and composed. “No talking. Just sleep. I’ll be here, watching you.”

Sylvia found Gabriel’s behavior tonight a bit baffling. Had he finally realized he’d misunderstood her, and was now feeling guilty about it? Unlikely.

Guilt and remorse—those words simply weren’t in this man’s vocabulary.

She nestled down, breathing in the cool, dark scent of oud that clung to him, feeling as though there was no way she’d be able to fall asleep.

She slipped her hand toward his waist, only for him to catch it and give a quiet warning: “Georgia’s just in the next room. Don’t get any ideas. Just go to sleep.”

Sylvia was at a loss for words.

She looked up at him with a playful curve to her eyes. “You’re overthinking it, Mr. Carnes.”

“Am I?”

A knowing smile traced Gabriel’s lips. He pulled her hand to his chest, making Sylvia’s breath catch and then become unsteady.

Annoyed, she pulled her hand free and shut her eyes, pretending to fall into a serious sleep.

Moments later, he pressed a kiss to her forehead. “It’s myself I’m worried about—I’m not sure I could resist.”

At that, Sylvia’s heart, which had just begun to steady, thundered wildly in her chest, completely thrown off-balance.
