Page 49 of Billionaire Unforgettable: Tanner

“Thank you for the incredible day,” I said to Tanner as I sat down on the sofa with a glass of wine in the common area of the suite.

He’d picked up one of the wines that I liked, and had gotten himself some beer earlier in the day.

Everything had been planned today with my preferences in mind.

His thoughtfulness was touching, but I still wasn’t quite sure how to react to this new Tanner who was focused on me and what I wanted.

In some ways, he reminded me of the Tanner I’d known in the earlier years of our relationship, but it wasn’t exactly the same.

I’d changed.

Tanner had changed.

He was a lot more mature and sure of himself than he’d been years ago.

Yeah, I found that incredibly attractive and alluring, but a little more intimidating than the Tanner I’d known years ago.

The way that he seemed to be able to focus entirely on me was captivating.

While it was flattering to have his complete attention when we were together, I wasn’t exactly sure how to handle it.

Tanner had been considerate in our earlier relationship, but he’d been a guy who was still building his career and establishing himself. He’d always been determined, but he’d had his insecurities about KTD and his abilities at times.

He wasn’t that man anymore.

He was a billionaire who recognized his own worth and skills in business.

Tanner had given up everything to get to this point in his life, and now he seemed much more focused on other things in his life.

Namely…me.

A big part of me relished that attention, but it was so much more intense than it had ever been before.

I knew I was losing my wariness of Tanner, and even though I knew that was dangerous, I couldn’t help it.

It was so easy to be drawn to the man Tanner was right now.

His eyes swept over me thoroughly before he answered. “It was my pleasure. I enjoyed it, too.”

God, the way that sexy baritone could make any response sound sensual made me half crazy.

Tanner was seated on the other end of the sofa in jeans and a T-shirt that matched his gorgeous blue eyes. The shirt was just snug enough to bring attention to his muscular biceps and tight abs.

He had the body of a guy who liked to be outside and do heavy physical labor.

It wasn’t the physique of a male who had sculpted that fit body in a gym.

Tanner Remington was ruggedly handsome and ripped, which had always appealed to me more than a man who pumped iron or ran on a treadmill indoors.

There was nothing wrong with someone who kept in shape by using a gym, but Tanner had always seemed to have a much more raw sensuality than the average male.

There was something about that aura of his that made me want to move up close to him and set those primitive instincts free.

Probably because I knew exactly what it was like when Tanner was untamed and raw.

I forced my gaze from him and took a large sip of wine, disgusted with myself because I was salivating over Tanner Remington.

Idid notneed to learn all of the mysterious secrets of this new Tanner.
