“What are you doing?”

His low, menacing voice rippled along Paige’s nerve endings, and her brain scrambled for an answer. “Mat—Mr. Renaldi. What are you doing here?”

“This is my bedroom. And that—” he nodded his head toward the open door behind her, “—is my bathroom. I should be asking you, what are you doing here?”

“Um.” She shifted on her bared feet, feeling completely overexposed even though the robe thoroughly covered her. She didn’t even have a pair of panties on. “Taking a bath?”

His lips curled. “I can see that. The question burning through my brain is, why my bathroom?”

She paused, trying to find the right answer. Only moments ago she’d felt sated, relaxed from her earlier orgasm. Fueled by her lusty imaginings of the very man who stood before her had helped ease the stress she’d been under lately. She wondered why she hadn’t done it sooner.

But now, having him here, gorgeously furious, his eyes so dark they appeared black…all that tension rolled back through her. Made her weak with wanting him.

“Well?”

Oh, the arrogance in his deep voice was so arousing she wanted to melt. He looked amazing. His jacket gone, a single button undone at the very top of his shirt, though he still wore the tie. His trousers were black, his shirt white and not a crease in it even after wearing it all day and through half the night. He was utter perfection.

And she desperately wanted to discover the real man beneath all that perfectness. She wanted to go to him. Yank on his tie and pull him into her. Demand he kiss her, touch her, make love to her for the rest of the night.

But she remained where she stood. “Your mother said it was okay if I used your tub,” she said, her voice small.

A dark brow rose, a most devastating look she’d seen him wield masterfully before. “My mother.” His voice was flat.

Paige nodded, her damp hair sliding against her neck. She must have looked a mess. Her skin red, her hair damp and wild. “She didn’t tell you?”

“I didn’t see her when I came home. The house was dark. Quiet.”

“Oh.” Damn it, Claudia must’ve gone to bed. How long had she been in that tub anyway?

“You have a perfectly fine tub in your bathroom, am I correct?” When she nodded, he continued, his tone frightening her. “So why did you want to use mine?”

“Your tub is so big,” she whispered. “And the view is so beautiful…”

Silence reigned for long, miserable moments. She wanted to flee. Wanted to run far, far away and pretend this encounter never happened. If he knew she’d touched herself in his tub, had brought herself to orgasm while thinking of him, she just might die of mortification.

“Did you enjoy it?”

“What?” She lifted her head, her gaze meeting his.

“Your bath. In my tub.” He studied her, those dark, dark eyes locked on her face, dropping to her lips for the briefest moment. “Did you enjoy yourself?”

God yes, but she couldn’t admit just how much.
