Zander woke late the following morning to an empty half of the bed, which would have been a cause for annoyance and alarm were it not for the mouth-watering smells that presumably came from the kitchen and meant that while Mia wasn’t around to help him out with his mammoth erection she wasn’t far away.

What a night, he thought with a yawn and a stretch. Her response to him had been as stunning as that first night they’d spent together. Over and over again she’d shattered in his arms, and she’d blown his mind more times than he could count. How his bed had survived it, he had no idea. Why he’d ever had reservations about sleeping with her again he couldn’t imagine. What on earth had he been thinking? Together, like that, they truly were extraordinary.

After reassuring her that he’d always practised safe sex and that there hadn’t been anyone since her anyway, for the first time in his life he hadn’t used protection and it had been a revelation. She’d felt like warm, wet velvet and the heightened friction, the exquisite sensitivity and the unexpected intimacy had rocked his world.

Rubbing his eyes, Zander reached for his watch, which sat on the bedside table, and squinted at the dial. It was ten o’clock. And a Friday. He ought to have been at his desk over two hours ago, and under normal circumstances he would have been. Yet this morning, after that night, work didn’t remotely appeal. What did appeal was firstly food and secondly returning Mia to his bed and keeping her there to explore further ways in which they could be exceptional.

He’d built up a very capable team in the six years since he’d taken over from Leo as CEO of Stanhope Kallis, he reminded himself as he tossed aside the covers. The three-hundred-year-old company, which employed thousands across the globe and had a several-billion-euro turnover, wouldn’t collapse if he didn’t go in today. Unable to find his shirt, he located his shorts and trousers and pulled them on. Then, lured by the distinctive scent of frying bacon, he headed downstairs.

Mia was at the stove with her back to him, humming along to the Christmassy sounding music emanating from her phone. No wonder he hadn’t been able to find his shirt. She was wearing it. And not a lot else, it appeared.

For a moment, he leaned against the door frame and simply drank in the view. The long bare legs. The glimpses of her bottom which the tails of his shirt didn’t quite cover. All that red-gold soft, silky hair. And as the seconds ticked by, he was filled with the clamouring urge to walk up to her, wrap his arms around her from behind, push her hair to one side and kiss her neck until she was breathless. Instead, because he did still possess some self-control and that somehow felt important, he pushed himself off the door frame and walked into the room.

‘Good morning,’ he said, thinking it was a very good morning indeed.
