Currently working on the next couple of chapters, but thought l shouldn't make you wait till l finished them... that would be cruel! Thanks for the lovely reviews, always good to know people are still reading and enjoying.

Rayna gasped in surprise as she pulled open the door to the office. She wasn't expecting to see anyone standing there. His laughter at her shock lit his blue eyes up. Frowning at him, Rayna attempted to look annoyed at him while trying to smoother the smile that threatened to break out.

"Hey"

"Hey, I've been looking for you?"

"Have you now! What for?"

"Hmmmm, ummm I needed to tell you something?"

Leaning against the door frame, Rayna smiled as she looked at the man in front of her. He had taken a similar stance opposite her, his arms crossed in front of him as he attempted to control the need to take her in his arms.

Biting down on her bottom lip, Rayna was amused by his restlessness. Smiling as one of the staff members walked passed, her eyes flicked back to him wordlessly questioning him.

"Maybe we should go into the office?"

Raising an eyebrow at that suggestion, Rayna gave a crocked smile before answering.

"I'm surprised you could drag yourself away from your fans long enough to find me!"

Giving her a fake laugh, he leaned in towards her while whispering,

"What l have to tell you is important."

Shifting off the door frame, Rayna moved slightly backwards, away from the imposing figure in front of her. His eyes danced with mischief as he watched her try to distance herself from him. Taking a step towards her, he invaded her personal space again. Leaning in once again, his lips caress her hair as he asks,

"Don't you want to know what l have to tell you?"

Shaking her head slightly, her hand pushes back against his chest as her blue eyes widen in disbelief. She could feel the warmth of his skin against her palm as he pushed against her. Taking another step towards her, he forced her to take another step backward. Her breathing increased as she felt herself being manoeuvred back into the office. Flicking her eyes up to his, her breath caught in her throat at the look on his face. From over his shoulder, she can see the door sliding shut. Her mouth opens to say something but no noise comes out. Unable to tear her eyes off him, she allowed him to direct her movement. She gasped in shock as she felt the door against her back. The solidness of the door broke through the hold he had on her.

"Won't you be missed out there?" she softly asked.

She was glad to hear that her voice didn't betray the array of emotions she was feeling. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest and was surprised he couldn't hear it.

He smiled at her and shook his head at her question.

She could feel the warmth of his breath on her lips, as he exclaimed

"I'm right where l want to be."

Rayna couldn't control the shiver that shuddered through her body. Her eyes danced over his face, trying to gauge his next move. He had pinned her against the door, with his arms either side of her head. Her hand was against his chest but it was proving useless at stopping his advances.

Trying to distract him and give herself some breathing space, Rayna takes a deep breath and asks,

"Your fans will be looking for you. You can't just disappear like that."

Smiling at her discomfort, he tucks a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Rayna, don't worry about them."

"But…"

"Did l ever tell you about the girl who has stolen my heart?"

Shaking her head, Rayna held her breath as he leaned closer to her.

"Though don't think l deserve her."

"Why?" Rayna breathlessly asks.

"She is out of my league. She is from some hootie tootie rich family, a real country club belle. What would she want with me?"

Biting her lip to stop the smile from escaping, Rayna's eyes traced his lips before looking in his eyes and seeing the laughter dancing there.

"Maybe she is bored with all those rich boys and is looking for that diamond in the rough from the wrong side of town." Leaning forward to whisper in his ear, "Maybe she likes bad boys."

His lips crushed against hers, preventing any further conversation. Rayna couldn't help moaning at the feel of his warm lips against hers. Losing herself in the taste of him, her fingers wrapped around the short hair at the nape of his neck pulling him closer to her. His lips were a delicious weight against hers as the kiss deepened. His hands spread over her hips, pulling her flush against him while she wrapped her arms around his neck wanting to sink into him.

Breaking the kiss, they gasped as they struggled to catch their breath. Running his fingers over her swollen lips, his breath is laboured as he is dazzled once again with her beauty. Kissing his fingers as they caress her lips, Rayna's fingers trace over the contours of his face. Gently she trails over the lines at the corner of his eyes that appear when he laughs, along the frown lines of his forehead and down along his strong nose to trace his lips.

"I'll have you know, I am not a country club belle!"

The laugh that erupted from him, filled her with joy. It was a sound she hadn't heard often enough recently.

Whispering in his ear, "And you know l like to be bad!"

"Oh I know firsthand just how bad you can be Ray"

Playfully slapping his chest, Rayna tried to look offended but the man in front of her knew her too well.

"Well, I never heard you complaining Deacon"

"I would never"
