"THIS IS A NO-STRINGS OFFER."

 

David felt the need to make the statement, even when the heat between them continued to flare.  We're going to land, have a quick lunch on the way to the gallery and then look at some artwork before supper.  If after supper you want to go straight to your room alone, that's your call."

 

He meant it.  No matter how much he wanted to be with Starr, it would be mutual or not at all.  "We have enough history between us fro you to know that I would never hold you to something unless you want the same thing."

 

She stared back into his eyes, holding on for a long drone of the private jet's engines before finally nodding.  "I trust you."

 

"Good.  Good."

 

He was glad she did, because staying strong against the temptation of sleeping in the room next to Starr

would be total torture.  He wasn't so sure he'd just made the wisest move.
