One Perfect Moment

That thought stuck with him as he followed her back to the B and B in his car. And when he stepped onto the sidewalk and walked with her up to the front door, he continued to tell himself that the one night of great sex had been just that—one night.

Until now.

“Come inside with me,” Ava said to him.

“Sure,” he replied without hesitation.

“This isn’t New York,” Gage said after closing and locking the door to her room.

Otis hadn’t been at the front desk when they’d walked into Sunnydale. A woman with long braids and a quick smile gave Ava the key and told her where her room was located. It had only taken Ava a couple seconds to realize the woman’s quick smile was directed at Gage. That, for some insane reason, turned her on.

Gage Taylor turned her on. He had since the first day she’d watched him walk onto the set. Dressed in a black suit, white shirt and purple tie, he’d stolen the breath of every other female on the set. And he wasn’t even a movie star. It was his swagger, Ava later surmised. The way his slightly bowed legs moved and the expertly cut suit hung on his broad shoulders. How his goatee was cut so precisely and his skin tone resembled the most decadent caramel. The husky and confident tone of his voice and the candid and intense way he had of looking a person straight in the eye when they talked. All of that combined with his quick wit and easy humor was nothing short of perfect. Perfectly, mouth-wateringly sexy. Period.

“No,” she replied and turned to face him. “This is Temptation.”

It was a place she’d arrived at only hours before. She’d come here to work on a project she wasn’t one hundred percent on board with. She had not come here to have sex with Gage again. But she wanted to. There was no point denying that.

He crossed his arms over his chest. The chest she’d known, from the way his dress shirts molded to him when they were on the set, would be deliciously muscled.

“That it is,” he continued, his voice lowering slightly.

His gaze pinning her to where she stood.

“And I’m tempted,” he said.

Ava tilted her head and once again replayed all the reasons why this was foolish. While they were currently in the off-season of Doctor’s Orders, Gage had already signed a contract to work on the second season with her. Which made him an employee or coworker. In addition, he was one of the Taylors of Temptation, the family that her new project centered around. Her job here was to get each of the sextuplets to sign a contract that would allow cameras into their lives for three months. From her research, she had a feeling that wasn’t going to be an easy feat.
