Sleep eluded her.

She heard the bathroom door open and shut and, a few minutes later, the door to the bedroom next to hers – Mike’s bedroom – open then shut and knew that Jed had gone to bed too. The bedsprings creak in the next room as Jed got into bed, and she had to fight down the urge to go next door and join him, take up where they’d left off before Tess had interrupted them, to feel his lips on hers again …

She groaned, burying her head in her hands, she had to take her mind off Jed before she went crazy. She switched on the bedroom lamp and looked around the room, hoping to find a book to read but there was no sign of one. She was just considering going downstairs to get a book from Mike’s study when she remembered the magazines she’d borrowed from Jed’s – or rather his boss’s – yacht. They would do. She reached for the holdall she’d left by the bed and took one of the magazines out of it.

It was a typical upmarket glossy magazine, featuring models dressed in designer clothes, immaculate homes furnished with expensive furniture in unpractical colours such as cream and lemon, and gossipy articles about the rich and famous. This will be my life if I marry Randy, she thought as she browsed through it. She’d have everything she wanted and never have to worry about money again.

She’d never know love either. For she knew for certain that Randy didn’t love her and probably never, and it sent a chill to her heart. She pulled herself together. So what? She’d loved Rod, hadn’t she? And look where it had got her.

She flicked through the pile of magazines until her eyes felt tired and heavy. After putting them on the floor, she reached out and switched off the light then snuggled down in bed. Sleep came in bits and drabs, interrupted by jumbled up dreams of a huge wedding cake that crumbled as she tried to cut it, bank notes raining out of the sky, and dogs barking.

Dogs barking! She jerked open her eyes and realised that the barks were real. Tess must want to go out. She jumped out of bed, still half-asleep, ran across the bedroom floor, pulled open the door, ran into the hall, and collided with Jed, who was just coming out of his bedroom.

‘Ouch!’

He reached out and grabbed her before she fell back on the floor, his hand gripping her arm to steady her.

‘Sorry!’ they both said together then laughed.

Jed reached out and flicked the light switch, and she sucked in her breath. He wore only a pair of black jersey boxer shorts that clung seductively to his hips.

Then she remembered that she was only wearing a black flimsy nightie and in this light it was probably far too revealing. She edged back into the shadows of the doorway in an attempt to preserve some of her modesty.

Jed was staring at her, his expression unfathomable.
