Off limits

"I assumed you wouldn't want this kind of deal to slide out of your grasp." He peeked down at her meaningfully.

She glanced up at him. He was right. There was no way anyone would want to let go of this kind of deal, but, "You know what they say about deals that are too good."

"Interpret it however you want to." He stood to leave, letting her take time to read the contract. "You can send over the contract when you are ready. If you would like to spend the night here, this cottage is at your disposal."

"Thanks for the offer but I will go home." Her smile stopped her from calling out his crap. If she were to spend the night here on her own, she would definitely have "company".

He didn't press the matter and let her go.
