Lainey woke and stretched languidly across the sheets as the sun breached the sky. Beside her Adam slept, oblivious to the slowly growing cast of light dappling across his skin. She smiled as she let her gaze drift over his body then back to his face.

They’d made love several times through the night, forging new bonds, seeking higher planes of ecstasy. They’d talked a little, too. She, more about what it had been like growing up in her grandfather’s house, always trying to dodge the public eye—he, about his own childhood, growing up as an only child.

She wondered how being an only son of high profile and high-achieving parents had impacted on Adam. How much of it drove him to be the best of the best. The most competitive of competitors.

Adam stirred beside her, one arm reaching out to draw her back against him, before settling deeper into sleep again.

Today was Monday. The day they went back home. Lainey wished she could preserve this moment for a little longer, but they had an early start back for the three and a half hour drive back to Auckland and then out to the airport to see the Czechs onto their flight back home.

Life would intrude on their idyll as life was wont to do, she accepted reluctantly, and wondered what else would intrude on her happiness when they arrived home.

She hadn’t said a word to Adam about her grandfather’s debts. Not when it was Hugh’s secret to keep and especially not when it was what had brought her and Adam together—the very thing that had seen her agree to accept an indecent amount of money for what had essentially been a weekend holiday. A holiday that had taken on a whole new twist with this burgeoning relationship with Adam.

At the back of her mind she reminded herself he’d expected her companionship this weekend. In fact had expected her to share a room with him from the start.

But what they’d shared during the night went further than sex. At least it had for her. She’d been no shrinking virgin, but she’d also never experienced such a depth of passion with someone else before. She’d felt a link with Adam, a melding of spirit, she’d never found with another man.

As they’d shared one another’s pleasure, in the shafts of moonlight that had strafed the bed with silver, she’d found a new closeness with him. One that went beyond the physical.

She couldn’t accept his money now. No matter the amount her grandfather owed or how close they were to paying it off. Not with the way things had changed between her and Adam. Where would they go from here, she wondered, because they certainly couldn’t go back to the simplicity of the boss/secretary relationship they’d had before.

Lainey nestled against him, and forced her mind to let go of the questions that plagued her. She didn’t want anything to mar this time together.
