“What…?” The single word came out of Ella’s mouth on a shallow breath.

“You asked for my help. You stole your way into my cab, insisting on my assistance. Do it.”

She remained frozen. Unsure. She’d never been completely naked in front of a man before. Do it, a voice inside rioted. He stepped close again, his body all but touching hers. That knee-weakening heat returned, enveloping her, and the bud between her legs now pulsed in time with her quickened heart. He reached around and opened the first button on her bodice.

Then the next, and the next, with practiced ease.

“Do it, Sarah,” he whispered in her ear. “Don’t think about it. Just do it. Show me the beauty that’s hidden beneath all this fabric. Do it with confidence…” Another two buttons opened before he removed his hand. “We can stop if you want. Or do you wish to proceed?”

Her long-dormant nerve endings hummed with life. She could run from the room like a coward again. Or she could see this through.

You’re not a coward.

Everything she’d ever accomplished had required bravery and strength. The last thing she’d do was to back down from this exhilarating moment, the likes of which she’d never known. Or might never know again.

She made quick work of the buttons as she began stripping away her clothing with determined purpose. His long expert fingers helped her here and there until she stood in just her chemise.

Her heart thudding wildly in her chest, she met his gaze in the mirror. His eyes had darkened, and she still couldn’t believe she’d stirred the desires of a man like this. A man who could have any female he wanted.

“Ah, now. Don’t lose your courage. Take off the chemise.”

She fisted the material and willed her hands to move. Taking a fortifying breath, she yanked it up and off, tossing the article onto the pile of discarded clothing on the floor. Trembling, she forced her gaze to his. He gave her a slow perusal.

She held her breath, not knowing what he’d say. It took all that she possessed to keep her arms at her sides and not cover herself up.

“Dear God…you’re even more breathtaking than I imagined.” He’d imagined her unclothed? A fresh wave of desire crested over her, moisture pooling between her legs. Reaching around her shoulders, he captured her chin again and turned her face toward her image. “Look at yourself. You are…perfection. Mouthwatering curves, gorgeous breasts with the prettiest pink nipples that I’m sure taste as good as they look. Those long, exquisite legs…” He took a small step back, and tilting his head to the side, took in her backside before returning close behind her and murmuring in her ear, “…the sweetest bottom I’ve ever seen. The stuff of every man’s fantasy.” Her breaths were rapid and raw and impossible to quell. No man had ever made her feel the way this man did. “You are what men want. Everything a man could want and more. Any man who has you is the luckiest of men.
