She laughed again. If it weren’t so ridiculous, it would be hilarious. “You’re an egotistical snob...that’s something I can’t make allowances for.”
He smiled, his blue eyes glittering. “I’ll be on my best behavior, I promise.”
“Go away.”
He didn’t move. “So, you didn’t answer my question...about having a husband. Or boyfriend. Or lover.”
The way he said the word lover made her skin prickle with a heady kind of awareness. Because he clearly had designs on the role. It was madness. They hardly knew each other. She didn’t get swept away by good looks. Sure, Trey had been good-looking...but not like this. And she hadn’t lusted after him the way she was silently and foolishly lusting after Amersen Beaudin.
“Not that it’s any of your business, but I’m single...and happily so. However, I do have two older brothers and a father who would need only one word from me to come after you with a shotgun, Mr. Beaudin.”
“You should probably call me Amersen,” he said and then laughed so sexily her knees actually trembled. “Since we’ll be going on a date.”
“I’m not going on a date with you,” she refuted. “Not ever.”
“I can wait. I’ll be in town for a week or so.”
Robin planted her hands on her hips. “You can wait all you like...it won’t make any difference.”
“That’s harsh. But you know, I think you’d like me if you gave me a shot.”
She made a bored, huffing sound. “A shot? I wouldn’t go out with you even if you were a prince. And not even if I had a fairy godmother who could turn a pumpkin into a carriage or even if I owned a pair of glass slippers.”
He chuckled. “That’s an interesting idea. You have a lot of spunk, Robin. I like that about you.”
“I’m happy for you,” she responded. “Now you can leave and go back to playing with your new perfume or writing one of your cynical and witty blog posts. Some of us have actual work to do. Goodbye.” She said it to belittle and embarrass him. But he didn’t look the least bit embarrassed or belittled. He looked amused. And cocky. He looked like insults weren’t so much as a blip on his radar. He looked as though he could handle anything from anyone. Including her.
He reached into his pocket, pulled out his wallet and then tossed a small business card on the table. “My cell number. Call when you’re ready to admit you want me.”
Robin stared after him for several minutes after he left. Furious. Enraged. Appalled.
And totally—and unbelievably—turned on.
