darting glance. ‘Actually, no, I don’t.’
A slow, steady pulse of heat throbbed through Rowena, infiltrating every individual cell. She could hear the rasp of his voice in her head. ‘You’ll like this, I promise.’ He’d said it more than once before he’d introduced her to a new sensual experience that had reduced her to incoherent, babbling worship. He’d not broken his promise or exaggerated a claim once that night.
‘Some escort you’d be,’ she croaked, trying to fight her way through the sexual thrall. She was pretty sure that it had her staring at him like some sex-starved bimbo. ‘You don’t even know where Gran and Grandpa live.’
‘Actually I do, but I’m having a job getting my tongue around the Gaelic pronunciation. A musical language, but not exactly phonetic.’
The way she recalled it, his tongue could be pretty amazingly dextrous! Rowena, her expression fixed and horrified, barely stifled a groan at this fresh evidence of her moral disintegration.
‘And it wouldn’t really matter if my geographical knowledge of the Highlands was nil, would it? Because we’re not heading for your grandparents’ home.’
Rowena thought it wise to establish pretty quickly, for her own benefit as much as Quinn’s, that there was no we.
‘Precisely. Even I am capable of getting from the airport to the hospital.’
‘You might well be right, but unfortunately it’s not going to be that easy…’
Rowena’s expression grew warily suspicious.
‘The plane’s been diverted to Glasgow. Inverness is closed due to bad weather.’
‘Weather!’ She squinted through the window into the darkness. ‘What weather?’
‘It’s snowing.’
‘They can’t close a whole airport just because of a bit of snow.’ Rowena’s scornful smile wobbled as panic flared hotly through her.
Not only did this mean it would take even longer to reach Gran, but she would be lumbered with Quinn all the way. Being in the confines of a plane cabin with him was bad enough, but a car was way too intimate!
‘I suspect it might be more than a bit, Rowena.’
She rubbed her clenched knuckles across her chin and let her head fall back. ‘This is all I need!’ she groaned.
