That was…

Exhilarating.

Wonderful.

Empowering.

Embarrassing as hell.

Wait, what?

Look at you, splayed out like some kind of banquet. He didn’t once touch you.

He didn’t need to. She’d found ecstasy all on her own.

It could’ve been better.

Yes, if he’d been a part of it.

But…he’d stood on the other side of the room, he’d watched her. He’d ordered her—and she’d obeyed! He’d said such wonderfully erotic things…and she’d experienced an orgasm to rival the ones he’d given her that first night.

And he hadn’t even touched her.

That realization made her feel perversely proud and achingly hollow at the same time.

Suddenly cold, whereas moments ago she’d been so very hot, Jade pulled her knees to her chest, and wondered if it was possible to forget the last few minutes. Wondered if she wanted to.

Get up. Go to him.

She wasn’t one to shy away from a problem, or a mystery. She needed to understand Cam MacKay…especially in relation to what had just happened.

So she forced herself upright, shaking her hands to will some life back into her limbs, which still felt a gentle buzzing. She washed in the warm water he’d brought for her, and dressed in the only gown she’d brought along for this trip.

It was a pale blue, one of her favorites, and she thought it did nice things for the odd color of her eyes. When she’d planned for this journey, she’d assumed she’d be here for no more than a day or two, and had packed accordingly. With just the two of them in The Cottage, she hadn’t felt ashamed to be wearing the same skirt and rotating her simple blouses, the ones she wore to her office.

It was strange, to be so comfortable so far away from London and her company. She had handpicked the men who were overseeing Thacker Shipping in her absence, and she wasn’t uncomfortable knowing they were in charge. She hadn’t told them how long she’d be gone, so they likely weren’t worried…and she had to admit the last few days had been relaxing.

Because of him.

Cam, who’d made her come apart, without even touching her.

That was why now, she wanted to feel powerful. So she donned the gown, and pulled her hair back in the simple tail she wore when she visited the fencing club. It wasn’t a flattering style, but it was easy to accomplish alone, and she needed to hurry.

To see him.

Still, by the time she stepped into the parlor, he’d obviously found time to change as well. He was fully dressed—which was a shame, because she would’ve liked the chance to stare at his chest some more, even if most of it had been covered by that towel he’d draped around his shoulders before he’d come into her room. He stood with his back to her in front of one of the windows, facing the sea.

The rain had started up again, pounding at the panes of glass with a vengeance, which made her glad they’d ventured outside when they had. And not because of the kiss.
