CHAPTER EIGHT

‘I CAN’T ANSWER THAT.’ Sienna whispered her reply. Making love with Harrison was out of this world more than she could ever have imagined. ‘I only know I want to do it again.’ And again. Did she mention again?

‘I’m more than happy to oblige, ma’am.’

Elbowing him in the ribs, she laughed. ‘Cheeky.’ Then she threw herself over him and obliged right back.

‘Sun’s going down. Let’s go over to my deck, open a wine and eat some steak.’

‘Spoken like a true man.’

‘Lady, if you haven’t figured that out by now then I’ve been wasting my time.’

Another laugh spilled over her lips. She’d been giving a lot of those lately. ‘I’ll make a salad.’ Someone had to make some pretence at being healthy.

After some wine and barbecued steak with fries and salad they made their way inside and down to Harry’s room to try out his bed. It worked perfectly. Sienna only hoped the remaining weeks before he left were enough to sate her appetite. And if they weren’t? She wasn’t going there. Why spoil a wonderful interlude with negative thoughts? At the back of her mind she knew this was a short-term fling and it would come to an end, but only then would she deal with the consequences. Now was about sharing meals and talking about the most ridiculous subjects, like what to wear when on a lion safari in Africa—she had no intention of going to Africa—and making love long and slow into the late evening. She reached for him and forgot everything else.

When Harry got up to go to work in the morning Sienna had headed through the fence to shower and plan her day. Now she was heading back over the harbour bridge to a mall to do some serious shopping after an eventful morning.

On the console of her car the phone hummed. A parking space was only metres ahead, which she snagged. ‘Hey, Anna, how’s things?’

‘Just thought I’d let you know Felicity’s working out well. How she copes with that CF all the time is beyond me. She’s one tough cookie.’

‘I know. It comes from having to be.’ Sienna was thrilled Felicity and her friend were getting on well, and that Anna had no complaints about the girl’s work efforts. It had been a stroke of genius putting them together, and there hadn’t been a moment of doubt.

‘So, how’s it going with Mr Tall, Dark and Gorgeous?’ Anna always switched subjects fast, said it was how she kept the opposition on their toes in court.

Denial was a waste of time. It was this woman’s job to see through the most experienced liars. ‘Great. And that’s all I’m saying.’

‘That’s all I wanted to know.’ Anna laughed.

Sienna wasn’t buying it; she knew Anna too well. But she’d go along with her for now. ‘You decided what you’re doing Christmas Day yet?’

‘Is he as good as he looks?’

No such thing as lead-in time. Nor was there any chance she was answering that. She mightn’t be a lawyer but she could play the game.
