riding hood and gobble her up. "That's interesting deductive logic."
She shrugged. "Common sense. Most men who are assholes wouldn't admit it." She sighed as she appeared to visibly relax. "Tell me about your project, Ian."
And so he did.

Ian Campbell was dangerous to a woman's mind and body.
It hadn't taken Abbie more than a day in his company to decide that Ian was nothing like the beast she had imagined. He was an even bigger threat. He was an alpha male sometimes, but completely likable and sexier than any man ought to be.
She pounded the computer keys and tried to concentrate on changing something on the site. She had been working closely with Ian for a week and every day she found him even more fascinating. Every day she had a more difficult time resisting his easy charm, quick wit and ultra masculine appeal.
Abbie stretched her legs out on the leather couch and turned her laptop computer to a better position. She had started wearing jeans and a sweater. Ian had insisted she be comfortable and make herself at home while she worked. This had turned into a dream job, and working with Ian was a joy she had never imagined when she had taken on the project.
Surprisingly, they shared many common interests. They laughed a lot, sharing their history, likes, dislikes and anything else that popped into their minds.
She had never shared the humiliation of her break up with Tim, but Ian had asked about boyfriends. Abbie had simply told him that she had broken up with someone a short time ago. When he asked why...she clammed up. She couldn't share that with him. No matter how easy he was to talk to, it was still a raw wound and demeaning as hell.
He was open with her, telling her about life before his accident and about the changes he wanted to make in his life. She cringed at what he had suffered in the hospital. She wished she would have known him then. At least she could have been around for him as a friend.
She didn't think he had been the beast that everyone thought he had been before his accident and she wasn't sure if she would have liked him or not...but she certainly liked him now.
Everything...absolutely everything about him was sexy. Sometimes he stood a little too close. All he had to do was bump against her and her panties were wet. Truthfully, all she had to do was hear his voice and she was moist. The man was a walking fantasy. She fantasized about him during the day and had wet dreams about him at night. She knew she was in a bad way. Ian Campbell wasn't someone who would be interested in her. He flirted...but that was just his charm.
She was touched by the reason he was opening the foundation. Leo was a friend that Ian had met in the hospital that would never walk again after a horrible accident. When Ian had talked about Leo's undaunted courage and his love for his adoring wife and children--she had cried like a baby. She had told Ian that she would have done the website for free if Bill had contacted her directly. Ian had blown it off, saying he would rather pay her because it meant keeping her close and having her company.
God...she hated it when he said things like that. Her face flushed, her breath grew hot and shallow. Abbie knew she absolutely could not take him seriously.
She need to finished the site. She couldn't spend much more time with the man before she jumped him. Her brain might be saying "no" but her body was saying "take me."
Abbie nibbled her lip as she concentrated her effort on correcting a problem on the website. She had enjoyed having total creative freedom on this project. She was a programmer, but building websites was really her favorite thing to do. She loved the process and the challenge of making a site that would touch people enough to donate funds for a worthy cause. Ian had given her the information and she had done everything. She had even written the contents.
