Chapter 5

He’d humoured her when she’d told him she wanted to take a detour ten minutes into their journey to Scotland, to call at the little shop in the village. He’d soon find out, though, that the results would more than justify the delay—she’d almost emptied their shelves of the candles, tea lights and aromatherapy oils she’d needed for the surprise she was planning for Ryan.

While the bath was filling, she arranged the candles in both the bedroom and the bathroom. With the mp3 player slotted into the docking station in the bedroom, and the bottle of massage oil she’d mixed earlier sitting beside it, her preparations were almost complete.

The bath ready, it was time to light the candles. With the main lights switched off, the intimate atmosphere was just what she was looking for. A quick glance around told her that everything was ready. All she needed was the star of the show.

He was still reading. As she paused quietly in the doorway, it occurred to Fiona that she could spend her whole life just looking at him. She wondered what he’d say if she told him he was an exquisite piece of eye candy. He’d always been completely oblivious to just how stunningly attractive he was.

“Time to come with me, Quinn.” She took his glasses off and put them on the coffee table with his book. “Now you can have your surprise.”

She led him by the hand to the bathroom door, then told him to close his eyes. She opened the door and led him inside.

“You can look now, Ryan.”

His gaze swept around the room, taking everything in, and then returned to her, searching her face for an explanation. “You did all this for me?”

Fiona started the playlist of romantic music stored on her phone. “I just want to spoil you a little,” she told him with a smile. “Think of it as an early Christmas present—for both of us. We don’t know exactly where we’ll be at Christmas. We might still be here if the weather’s bad, or we may be back in the real world, but this is something I always wanted to do for you.

“And,” she continued, her fingers on the top button of his shirt, “I want to open my Christmas present now, while it’s just the two of us and we can concentrate on each other without distractions. Hold still.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Fiona quirked an eyebrow; she knew Ryan was just being his charming, facetious self, but having such a strong, masculine man address her with such a respectful term made her inner goddess preen. It would be so easy to get used to that. She started on the first button, giving Ryan a severe look when he raised his hands to do it for her. “No, this is my job, and I want to enjoy it. Christmas presents don’t unwrap themselves. Just relax.”

She fully intended to enjoy this, and hoped her present would, too.

The first button gave way. She pulled the sides of the shirt apart and placed a soft kiss to the exposed flesh.
