Hudson (Anderson Billionaires #4) - Melody Anne Page 0,39

Hudson and smiled at the woman whose glare fell as her gaze zeroed in on Noah. Her head then whipped between Noah and Hudson as a myriad of emotions crossed her very readable expression.

“What? How? I don’t understand,” she said, the fire from her voice gone as reality set in.

“Am I missing something here?” Noah asked, looking back and forth between the woman and Hudson.

“More than I can explain in a sentence or two,” Hudson quietly said, hoping the woman didn’t hear.

Daisy — the woman from the plane.

He had no idea why she was there, why she seemed so upset, or what fates were working to bring them together again, but there was no mistaking it was the same woman he’d spent the night with only to wake up alone with her long gone.

Daisy recovered faster than he did, and fury returned to her eyes as she glared straight at Noah.

“I asked you a question,” she said. She moved a little bit closer, then stopped, her foot tapping the ground as her fingers dug into her hips.

Hudson was still stunned, unable to answer her as his mind reeled at seeing her on his new property. She was more beautiful than he remembered even with her hair an utter mess, strands of gold whipping around her face in the wind and pink staining her cheeks. It took him back to images of her lying beneath him as she cried out her pleasure again and again.

He’d definitely noticed her eyes their one night together, but in the sunlight they looked as blue as a lake in the stirrings of a turbulent storm. They were absolutely stunning. Her full pink lips were pursed at the moment, but it didn’t take away how tempting they were, or how much he wanted to taste them again.

His eyes moved down her delectable body. Not much was hidden at the moment, and he had a great memory of what lay beneath her clothes. She was wearing yoga pants that molded to her shapely, muscled legs, showcasing her delicious, graspable hips. Her tank top showcased those luscious breasts he’d held in his hands and squeezed, causing her to moan in sheer pleasure. He was instantly turned on — but he didn’t think she’d appreciate that at the moment.

“My eyes are right here,” Daisy said in a huff, though he heard the husky edge to her tone. He was sure she was remembering their night together just as he was. Though it was difficult, he drew his eyes back to her face — and did a very dangerous thing — he smiled.

“If you don’t want me to look, you should be wearing different clothes,” he told her. Those were his first words after a month of silence between them. They might be a bit crude, but she’d been the one to walk out on him, not the other way around. If she wanted more respect maybe she shouldn’t have left his bed like he was nothing more than a gigolo. He’d never had that thought before.

Noah let out a gasp next to him, probably shocked at his words. Hudson didn’t normally speak to someone that way. Once his brother knew who this woman was, he’d completely understand.

“Are you going to answer me?” she asked, ignoring his comment, acting as if she didn’t know him. There was no doubt she was very aware of exactly who he was. He wasn’t a forgettable man — just as she wasn’t a forgettable woman. He had to give her credit because she wasn’t turning from him. He was more impressed with her than before.

“What was the question again?” His head was growing slightly fuzzy. She let out a groan, and it wasn’t one of pleasure.

“I believe she asked what we’re doing here,” Noah said, a smirk on his lips. He’d definitely noticed Hudson’s interest in the irritated woman and the tension between them. He was enjoying himself.

“The better question would be what are you doing here,” Hudson said. “Did you miss me?”

He didn’t think it possible, but her eyes narrowed more. Impressive. Noah chuckled next to him. He might not know what was going on, but his brother was a smart man, and it was obvious they knew each other.

“I haven’t once thought about you since . . .” She trailed off, refusing to add more to that statement. “However, this is my property, so I’ll be asking the questions,” she finished.

He smiled. He knew she was lying now. He’d purchased the land
