Conversation ceased when Alonso turned onto the dirt road that led to the ranch. He parked by the house but made no move to get out of the truck. “If my staying tonight is going to cause problems for you...”
“By problems you mean gossip?”
“I don’t want people to think badly of you because you allowed a hitchhiker to spend the night on your property.”
“You’re not a hitchhiker. You’re a surgeon.” And a darn good-looking one at that. “I don’t care what anyone says about me.” Besides, her family had been the topic of gossip for years in Paradise. Alonso would give them something new to chat about.
She glanced at the dark house. “Luke must be in bed.” For once he’d taken her advice.
“Hangovers will do that to you.” Seconds ticked by, then Alonso reached across the seat and brushed a strand of loose hair from her face. She didn’t want the night to end. Didn’t want to leave his side.
“Alonso?”
“What?”
“Do you ever get lonely?” Until she’d sat across the table from him at the restaurant, Hannah hadn’t consciously acknowledged the depth of her loneliness.
“Yes.” His whispered answer made her heart pound.
This is crazy. You hardly know the man.
She couldn’t argue with the voice in her head, but the strength to resist a night in Alonso’s arms had fled the instant he’d pulled her close on the dance floor. “I don’t want to be alone tonight,” she whispered.
He slid his hand around the back of her neck. “I don’t want to be alone, either.”
And then he kissed her.
