CHAPTER FOURTEEN

“I can’t believe they lost my underwear!” Shellie was still dumbfounded about the loss of her underwear by the hotel’s laundry service. As great as it was that they actually provided laundry services she would have preferred to still have something to wear under her freshly washed clothes. As it was standing hand in hand with Noel at some swanky Indian restaurant was wreaking havoc with her senses and being with him without underwear had her senses swirling. His familiar rosemary and mint scent seeped into her nose and it was so intoxicating she knew that she would always smile when she thought of her new favorite herb.

A seductive grin split Noel’s face and he squeezed her hand. “I wish I could say I had a hand in it, but alas, just my good fortune.” He chuckled, more to himself than her.

Her cheeks reddened as his dark green gaze worked over her body. “I wouldn’t put it past you,” she glared with none of the venom she was trying for.

Holding his hands up in surrender and biting his too sexy bottom lip, Noel’s smile never faded. “Hey I offered to take you lingerie shopping.” Although it would be more for his benefit than hers, she didn’t need to know that.

“Either way you win, is that it?”

“I’m completely comfortable with you in no underwear or you in sexy new underwear we buy together Shellie. As long as you’re happy,” he tipped her chin forcing her to look into his seductive stare, daring her not to look.

His intense stare made Shellie uncomfortable as she fought against the attraction she could no longer deny. She wanted to break their stare but his emerald gaze was mesmerizing and she found that her body would not allow her to look away despite her mind’s protest. This sweet torture was more than she could stand, having fought every urge to follow him into the shower and standing this close to him smelling so good, and her without underwear must be punishment for a previous life as an evil dictator, she thought. Summoning all the willpower she could, Shellie was grateful to the hostess for her interruption. Now she could focus on her surroundings for a moment, instead of her dinner companion and when she finally looked around she noticed that the restaurant was stunning.

The young hostess led them to a corner booth along the left wall. The high-backed indigo leather booth seats muffled the conversation from surrounding tables and the jewel toned swaths of fabric that hung from the ceiling provided actual privacy to enhance the romantic vibe of the gorgeous restaurant. Shellie was more than impressed that Noel had chosen an exotic cuisine that was more romantic than upscale, but there was no doubt this place was upscale. The fabric she worried between her fingers was almost certainly silk, the thought of which forced her to quickly release her grip. She eyed the well-crafted booth that circled at the center for a more than cozy meal.
