CHAPTER TEN

TOO MUCH HEAVEN

After a long, steamy bath, Belinda took special pains with her hair and makeup. She heard Oliver clanking around in the outdoor kitchen, singing along with the music coming from his poorly placed fake rock speakers. Back when he was with Heartbeat, he’d mostly sung backup harmony, except for one top-ten hit he fronted in that catered to teenyboppers. But on the new Heartbeat EP he crooned a slower, sexier version of “Will You Be My Baby,” and day-um, he had some chops.

After much deliberation, Belinda chose a flowy ankle-length sundress that showed just the right amount of halter-top cleavage to tease him. After waking up from her nap, she was disappointed to find Oliver gone, but took the time to assess the current situation. In her wildest dreams, she wouldn’t have thought she’d fall into bed with him right off the bat—or at all for that matter. Heat flooded her cheeks when she recalled her wild, wanton response to his lovemaking.

While she didn’t sleep around, she wasn’t a stranger to sex. But apparently she’d been doing it wrong, because after being with Oliver, everything else paled in comparison. He’d set the bar sky high for anyone who dared follow him. And just how was she supposed to be nonchalant while sipping cocktails and eating dinner? Would she be able to carry on polite conversation when all she could think about right now was sliding beneath the sheets with him again and not coming up for air until she was completely out of energy? Maybe not. Luckily, the delicious dream-filled nap left her refreshed and ready to rumble.

So after giving her hair some beachy waves, she added a dab of her favorite exotic perfume to her wrists, then added another one behind her ears for good measure. Looking at her reflection with a critical eye, she reached into the halter top of her sundress and rearranged the girls. With a satisfied nod, she added another swipe of lip gloss, dusted just a bit more blush over her cheekbones, and then brushed one more coat of mascara on her eyelashes. She’d carefully applied a smoky eye shadow, accenting the violet shade of her eyes that always made her feel different. “Okay, enough.” Scooping her makeup into a cosmetic bag, she observed her handiwork with satisfaction.

After their steamy escapade in bed, she felt a sense of feminine power and fully intended to use it on Oliver. Of course, she’d be subtle: leaning over here, brushing (accidently) against him there. She laughed softly, thinking she hadn’t felt this relaxed in a long time, and she had the after-sex glow to prove it.

Still, just before she opened the door, she felt a tiny sizzle of nerves. Was she overdressed? Too made up? Damn, maybe she should change into shorts and a T-shirt. Pull her hair into a ponytail. Blot the gloss from her lips. “Yeah,” she said, but as she turned around a knock at the front door stopped her. With a pounding heart, she swung the door open and Oliver stepped inside.
