‘Don’t worry, girl, not long now.’ Iona smiled at C.D., who gave her tail a lazy flap on the deck, keeping up her patient vigil for Zane.

Funny to think she and Zane had been having their casual sex-fling for nearly a month now. The time had passed in a blur of hard work, lazy dates and seriously hot sex—which had only got hotter when she’d moved into his place a week ago.

She’d had her misgivings at first, more than a little concerned about taking him up on his offer of a place to stay when his friend had got a vacation renter for the cottage. She knew she needed to be careful about coming to depend on him too much. But she’d been spending so much time at his place anyway in the weeks before that, he’d managed to make her objections seem like a childish overreaction. They were both adults, both completely clear about what this was and what it wasn’t, and why should she go hunting up a new place when he was perfectly happy to have her stay here?

In the end she’d agreed, putting her mind at rest about the intensity of their affair by promising herself as soon as she had the required funds, she would book her return flight to Scotland.

Mr Spencer’s cat Figaro was her tenth commission, the new cottage industry providing her with another practical reason to stay at Zane’s. With all its natural light, his beach house was the perfect place to paint. She choked out a little laugh—and then of course there were the other, more exhilarating benefits of living here to consider.

Zane had looked so surprised when she’d joined him in his shower this morning, he’d dropped the soap. And risen to full attention so fast she’d been a little worried he might collapse from the loss of blood to his head.

For someone whose sex life prior to Zane had been spectacularly bad, the way he reacted to her never failed to thrill her. Hearing his heartfelt groan when she’d sunk to her knees and swirled her tongue over the head of that beautiful erection had been yet more proof that she now had the ability to make men weak at the knees. Or at least this man.

She loved the way he responded so readily to her teasing and her playfulness. Finding Zane’s buttons, and pushing them, discovering his limits and then
