Chapter 10

Maddy let the hot water flow over her body for several minutes. It felt so good, easing the tension out of her muscles, making her forget the feelings that Derek had stirred in her. She stayed until the water began to cool and she felt much better. At least, she now had some control over her emotions.

Why do I let Derek get under my skin? He is the most obnoxious, sanctimonious man I’ve ever met. She frowned. And, arrogant, too. How can anyone be that in love with himself? Not like Jason, who is the perfect gentleman at all times. She smiled to herself at the thought of Jason. Always conscious of my feelings, always putting me first.

She stepped out of the shower and grabbed the big fluffy ivory towel lying on the wrought iron stool beside the shower stall. Wrapping the towel around herself, she sighed and closed her eyes. Yes, Jason is perfect. A wave of anticipation washed over her body as she hugged, herself imagining Jason’s strong arms wrapped around her, the feel of his body next to hers, the feel his of lips on hers. She looked up, caught her refection in the mirror, and blushed.

Oh dear! I am turning into a wanton hussy after all. She caught herself up short and scowled at her reflection. This has to stop. I am here to do a job, not look for a relationship.

Derek paced back and forth at the bottom of the stairs in the foyer, waiting for Maddy to appear. Alfred was already parked in the driveway, waiting. Derek was frustrated that the vision of Maddy in that yellow sundress as they left for dinner last night, refused to go away despite all his efforts to erase it from his memory. She had taken his breath away. His eyes had wandered over her, feasting on every detail—the neckline that lay softly on her skin, exposing just enough of her creamy breasts to set his heart racing; her deep copper locks that hung in soft curls and gently brushed her shoulders as she moved gracefully down the stairs. The soft curve of her petal-pink lips as they tilted up at the corners; her eyes that had sparkled, full of mischief. The full skirt that ended just above her perfect knees and swayed sexily with each step, outlining the curve of her thighs. Sexy, white, strappy heels had accentuated her slender ankles and graceful calves.

It took him only a moment to realize he had been staring at the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. Desire had billowed up in his lower region as she had turned her gaze on him, but her eyes had lingered for only a brief moment before turning away. He felt as though he had been kicked in the stomach as he realized it hadn’t been him that her eyes were seeking. Her eyes crinkled at the corners as her lips parted into a full-on beautiful smile. Jason rushed forward, his hand extended, waiting to assist her down the final few stairs.
