Rescue Me (11 page)

Maya nodded, hope shining in her eyes. "I know."
"And you know I won't take any money from you?"
"I know that, too."
"What about your career?"
She crossed the room and wrapped her arms around him. "Ben is
probably badmouthing me all over LA for walking out on his show, and it's time
for a change anyway. I'd love to
come
help you set
things up and maybe get involved with the orphanage, if that's okay with
you?"
"It's more than okay. I'd
love it. My father is gonna be real happy about the fact I finally brought a
girl home."
Seth kissed her.
"Are you sure this is what you want? A
week ago, you couldn't get far enough away from me."
Maya leaned back to study his face. "You sure you're not trying to
talk me out of this, Mr. Coulter?"
"Just making sure you know what you're letting yourself in for,
Miss Franklin."
"I'm letting myself follow my heart for the first time in my life, and
you taught me how to do that." Maya pressed her hot little body against
his, and Seth was reminded, one more time, just how crazy he was about her.
"Besides, it's gonna take me a while to thank you properly."
"You don't need to thank me for anything. I should warn you though
that once I get you on my land and in my
bed, that
makes you my woman."
Maya smiled. "Who are you kidding? I've been your woman since the
day you walked into that audition."
"Damn straight." Seth grinned and picked up his Stetson, pulling
it down low over his eyes and drawing Maya in close. "And I don't intend
to let you forget it."
