CHAPTER SIX

HE MADE such perfect sense. Two people, disillusioned from their past relationships, helplessly drawn towards each other, both knowing the undesirability of becoming too involved.

Once bitten, twice shy, Mattie thought now. She seemed to be thinking in proverbs.

From all accounts, she and Frankie should have made the ideal match. They had gone from childhood friends to childhood sweethearts. They should logically have ended up as blissfully happy adults with the statutory two children and pet dog. Instead, it had all unravelled like a ball of wool.

And Dominic hadn"t needed to tell her what she had assumed for herself. That Rosalind had breathed the same privileged air that he did, and that, despite that, the relationship had collapsed under the weight of its own inadequacies.

So here they were now, not looking for anything beyond the present.

And heavens, how she wanted him, wanted him with every fibre in her body.

She refused his offer of a drink, met his eyes steadily and felt shaken but delirious at the molten heat of his gaze.

„No drink for Dutch courage?" he asked, moving towards her, then at last giving in to his need to touch her, but only delicately, only capturing her face between his big hands so that he could stroke the sides of her cheeks with his thumbs.

„I only need Dutch courage if I"m about to do something I don"t want to do," Mattie said.

She placed the flat of her hands on his chest and then began to unbutton his shirt with trembling fingers. Each undone button gave her a glimpse of his hard, bronzed torso and the muscular strength of his shoulders.

„You"d better stop that," Dominic told her roughly, „or you might find that we don"t make it to the bedroom."

He scooped her up and carried her towards one of the rooms, kicking open the door with his foot.

He made his way to his bed and deposited her gently, then proceeded to look at her for a few heart-stopping seconds, before switching on one of the lamps on the low chest of drawers that covered almost the length of one of the walls.

Then he returned to where he had been standing. That look. Mattie wanted to stretch like a cat and bask in the heat of it. She squirmed a little, sighed and then watched in fascination as he began undressing.

Anyone would think that she was a virgin witnessing her first glimpse of the male body in all its glory. Not that many were as glorious as his. If any at all.

He tugged off his shirt, exposing broad shoulders, a firm, hard stomach, flat brown nipples and then, as he slowly unbuckled his belt, Mattie"s gaze drifted to where he was now unzipping his trousers and sliding them down over his lean hips.

„You do know," he said with a low laugh, „that when I"m done, it"s going to be your turn…"

„I may have worn tight outfits when I worked at the club, but performing a striptease is not my kind of thing."
