Over the years, Malcolm had made a great deal of money. He’d enjoyed the places he’d lived during that time as well. The money he’d earned allowed him to live however he wanted. And he’d lived very comfortably. But now, leading Ella through his house, he wondered what she thought of it. He’d designed it with an award winning architect but…was it not to her taste? Did she find the layout soothing?

He remembered her apartment and the surprise that it was so small and…empty. She didn’t collect things. Nor did he, Malcolm supposed. But he preferred creature comforts at all of his homes. This one in London was his main residence and the one he’d put the most thought into.

“This is lovely!” Ella gasped when she stepped into the two story great room with tall, black trimmed windows that looked out onto a stone patio surrounded by evergreen trees.

Malcolm looked around, nodding. “Thank you,” he replied, surprised by the relief he felt. Why was he so relieved? He’d never cared what the women in his life thought of his residences.

Then again, he’d never brought a woman into his home. Malcolm hadn’t really thought about that before, but…it was true. He didn’t allow the women that had come through his life to truly enter his life. He’d never had any feelings for the women in his past.

But this morning when Ella hadn’t called, he’d cared. And the longer it had gone when she hadn’t called, the more irritated he’d become.

“Is that a balcony on the second row of windows?” she asked, moving towards the windows that went up to the ceiling.

“Yes. I had an architect design everything. I wanted to be able to sit out on the upper deck without it shadowing the light coming in through the windows of the great room. He figured out a way to tilt the flooring so that it brought in the light.”

She peered up towards the balcony above while Malcolm continued to peer at her. His eyes traveled down over her jeans, then back up to the soft cotton of her sweater that molded to her breasts. The clothes weren’t particularly interesting. It was her body underneath the clothing that he found endlessly fascinating. And he wanted to peel all of those clothes off and make love to her. Right here in the sunshine!

But she hadn’t called this morning. After the night they’d shared together, she’d ignored him all day long. Damn, but he hated being on this side of the relationship. How many times had he heard the women he’d been with say the same thing? Now here he was, wondering why she hadn’t called. Karma was a bitch!

“I like this room,” she said, turning around slowly as she took in all of the details. “It isn’t one of those dark, masculine rooms that I usually read about. You know the kind, the boring rooms with all of the leather and dark walls.”

He chuckled softly. “You haven’t seen my office yet.”

Ella cringed. “Sorry.”
