The trouble was, Alex couldn’t think when he looked at her like that. Those gorgeous grey-blue eyes did something to her insides every time they locked on hers. “I’m fine with it if you are,” she said.

He looked at her for a suspended moment. “You’re not worried about the drop in income?”

She shook her head and gave him a wry smile. “I wasn’t coming out here for the money and in any case, there are practically no shops. Besides, won’t we be saving heaps by sharing a house?”

Mack turned to look at the moon again, his forehead wrinkling in a frown. “Have you ever lived with a man before?” he asked.

He turned to face her once again. “Yes.”

Alex felt her cheeks turning pink. “No. That was one of the problems with my ex.

His palms could still feel where her nipples had poked against him, his fingers aching even now to cradle those tender curves so he could taste her sweetness all over again.

Alex suddenly stiffened beside him. “Mack?” she whispered, her eyes wide with apprehension. “Did you hear that noise?”

He looked down at her and frowned. “What noise?” he asked.

She pressed a finger against her lips in a shushing gesture. “Listen.”

Mack strained his ears for a lengthy moment and then he heard it. There was the unmistakable creak of a floorboard as someone moved inside the house behind them...
