Free AdamsObsession by Sabrina York

was appealing enough to awaken several aspects
of his being.
    Quietly, he stepped into her room and crossed to the bed,
gazing down at her luscious form. Her bottom was a tempting target, thrust up
toward him like an offering to the gods. He itched to caress her ass, test the
resilience of her flesh.
    He’d thought about her all morning long. On the plane, he’d
had to drop down the table and pretend to study his notes because his raging
hard-on would have been otherwise impossible to disguise. The sight of her had
spurred his passionate presentation. Through it all, she’d urged him on with
that sweet, encouraging smile.
    She brought out the best in him, in oh so many ways.
    God. He wanted her.
    And he would have her.
    Just not right now.
    He bent over and gently slipped her shoes from her feet, one
after the other, and pulled a spare blanket from the closet. He wrapped it
around her—trying not to laugh as a delicate snore rumbled through the room. He
retraced his steps into the hall and quietly closed the door.
     
    When Katherine woke up, the sun was going down. She felt
rested and reenergized. She checked her watch and noted it was after five. Adam
had mentioned he wanted to leave for the reception at about six thirty, so she
figured she had time to go online and check her email before getting a quick
snack—assuming Shannon had thought to stock the fridge.
    She put her laptop on the bed and switched it on. As it
booted up, she riffled through her suitcase to see what she’d brought that
would be appropriate for a business reception. She pulled out her classic black
dress and shook out the wrinkles, wondering if she needed to find an iron. She
decided the dress would do and slipped it on a hanger, just as the computer
behind her chimed.
    A smile flooded her face. She knew that chime.
    Savage was online.
    The thrill that ravaged her was savage in itself. She’d been
far too busy packing to even think about logging on last night. She sat on the
bed and clicked the IM box, at the same time initiating the VoIP software so
they could talk while she got ready. She turned down the sound so Adam wouldn’t
overhear.
    “Hey, Wildkat. How was your day?” His voice was slow and
lazy, like sweet honey drizzled all over a warm summer morning.
    She blew out a breath. “Crazy. At the last minute they sent
me on a business trip.”
    “Really? Where’re you at?”
    She laughed. “Vegas.”
    “Great place for a business trip.” His answering laugh was
smooth and sexy. It sent shivers up her spine. “Are you there all alone?”
    “No.”
    He paused in a meaningful fashion and then asked, “Is he there with you?”
    Katherine drew in a deep breath. She knew who he meant.
“Yes. He’s here.”
    “Really. That must be interesting.”
    She frowned. “Not really. He’s not into me. I told you
that.”
    “What’s he into?”
    “Work.”
    His laugh rumbled through the speakers. “Typical man. But
now that work time is over, maybe he’ll notice you. Do the two of you have
plans for dinner?”
    “We’re going to a reception. Some business thing.”
    “Boring.”
    “No kidding.”
    “Wear something sexy. Maybe you can get him to skip the
reception and take you somewhere intimate. Somewhere romantic.”
    “Hah!” Her sardonic snort was a little louder than she intended
and she reflexively clapped a hand over her mouth. “No way,” she hissed. “This
guy is all about business. He would never skip the reception.”
    “Try it. Wear something sexy. See what happens.”
    “I don’t have anything sexy. I mean, I have a cocktail dress.
It’s not terribly sexy.”
    “You can make it sexy. A woman’s manner is what makes her
sexy, not simply her appearance. Just believe you’re hot and he’ll notice.
Trust me.”
    Katherine shook her head, knowing he couldn’t see. Savage
just didn’t understand. Adam was Adam and Katherine was…boring. “I’ll try. But
I can’t imagine he’ll notice.”
    “He will.”
