CHAPTER SEVEN

THEY spent ten idyllic days and nights in Paris, Luke deciding to stay on an extra couple of days at the last minute. Sophie had found it amazing at the time that the hotel management had somehow managed to accommodate them at short notice when they were turning other people away. Luke’s powerful influence, no doubt.

The honeymoon had been everything any girl could wish for, although she really couldn’t say she had seen much of Paris itself. It had only taken a word or look from either of them to spark the flame of desire that never seemed to be far away for them to be back in bed together, their bodies entwined.

The flight back to England had been short and uneventful, but not filled with the cold reserve Luke had treated her to on the flight out. They had talked together, laughed together, and Sophie couldn’t help wondering if she was being silly to feel apprehensive about their return to everyday life. After all, all honeymoon couples had to face the same upheaval, the wondering if the honeymoon period was indeed over. And she did have one advantage over a lot of women; Luke worked at home, making it possible for her to see him at any time.

She looked up now as he walked unnannounced into the bathroom as she took a shower to freshen her up after the flight, her initial shyness with him long forgotten in their continual lovemaking. She smiled at him through the spray from the shower, aware that he was saying something to her but unable to hear him above the noise of the falling water. She shook her head, shrugging her puzzlement.

She gasped as he stepped fully clothed into the shower beside her, her senses spinning as he took the soap from her unresisting fingers and began to soap her body all over. ‘You’re mad, Luke,’ she laughed huskily. ‘Your clothes—they’re ruined!’ The white shirt and trousers were in fact clinging to him like a second skin, his body seducing her through the wet material.

He discarded the soap and backed her up against the wall, her body moulded to his. ‘You could not hear what I was saying.’

Sophie spluttered with laughter. ‘But I would have been out of here in a moment.’

Luke switched off the running water, the urgency of his body communicating itself to her as they clung together. ‘It would not have been soon enough for me,’ he kissed her wet lips, licking the droplets of water from her face. ‘I want you now,’ he groaned, lifting her up into his arms and carrying her into the bedroom they were to share.

‘But my parents, Luke,’ she offered a token resistance as he lowered her on to the bed. ‘They’re expecting us for tea.’

He shrugged, stripping off his wet clothes. ‘So we will arrive for dinner instead. I have not made love to you for over five hours.’

‘Oh, Luke!’ she laughed, raising her arms to him invitingly as he stood before her naked.
