face.
"So, did you and he . . . ?"
"No, of course not," Melissa replied a little too sharply.
"Liss, is there some problem?"
At the perplexed look on his face, she sighed and shook her head.
"No, I'm sorry. I just . . . you know I won't just do . . . stuff with a stranger."
He slumped into the chair beside her. "You know, you could let yourself loose and try something new. It
wouldn't hurt to be a little wild every now and again."
She glanced at his familiar, loving face and thought the only wild she'd like to get right now was with him. Guilt
slid through her at the wayward thoughts she'd had only moments ago that included Ty. But that had happened
in the heat of the moment. It was some kind of transference, or something like that.
Shane stood up and held out his hand.
"You look exhausted? Do you want to go back to the room?"
She nodded. That was the only place in this whole resort she would feel settled. And where she knew she
wouldn't run into Ty Adams again and have to deal with the disturbing feelings he triggered in her. She picked
up her glass and remembered it was empty.
"Maybe just one more drink."
He sniffed the glass.
"Rum and Coke? That's not like you." He smiled. "I approve." Shane slid his arm around her waist and they headed for the bar.
Ty rode the elevator alone. His hand stroked over his cock, thinking of the sexy scene he'd just witnessed in the
Mariposa room. Remembering Melissa sitting beside him, clearly turned on, watching. A clear outline of her
nipples had been visible through her dress and he'd longed to stroke them, to suck them.
His reaction to that woman confused him. She wasn't the type he was usual y drawn to. She was sexually
inhibited, uptight, and . . . married.
A knot twisted his stomach at the fact she'd been jealous of her husband with the other women. She'd clung to
that diamond heart around her neck—probably a gift from him—like a lifeline. Maybe Ty had been wrong about
her and her husband not being in love. At least, about her not loving him. Ty could read people and the guy,
although clearly holding a deep affection for Melissa, didn't love her.
Hell, here he was at a swingers' resort, where every woman was fair game, married or not, and his dick had
settled on the only one he couldn't have. The woman's rigid thinking wouldn't al ow her to relax and enjoy the
resort, therefore she wouldn't be open to a fling with him.
In fact, the woman wasn't here to enjoy the resort at al . If his instincts were correct, she was here to do a report
on it to Suzanne's potential buyer. What bugged him most was that clearly she hadn't even arrived with an open
mind. His gut told him she didn't intend to give a balanced report—she intended to condemn the place, which
would make Suzanne's sale fall through.
But, damn it, that didn't stop him from wanting her.
He rubbed his cock, feeling it straining against the confines of his jeans. He arrived at his floor and the elevator
door opened. He could prowl the resort looking for an available female, but most were already occupied—and
he didn't really like having sex with strangers.
He strode down the hal and slid his key card into the slot. As he opened the door, he heard soft moaning. He
turned to leave, realizing Suzanne was probably entertaining.
"Ty, wait."
At Suzanne's voice he stopped, doorknob in hand.
"Don't go."
He turned around to see her strol ing toward him, total y naked. His cock jumped at the sight. She took his hand
and led him forward.
She leaned toward him and murmured, "I know you've been busy with work this evening, so I thought you
should be rewarded with some R and R."
She led him farther into the room and he realized another woman sat on the upholstered armchair. Naked. Her
long, dark hair cascaded around her pert breasts, accentuating the hard nipples pointing toward him, and the
large, dusky rose aureoles. He smiled as his cock pushed painfully against his fly. A movie played on
