CHAPTER SIX

He was looking down at her, torso on the bed, head still on the pillow, but hips over the side and feet touching the floor, eyebrows raised, an amused expression on his face, and she knew from the heat of embarrassment in her cheeks that she now had a bright red face to add to the birds nest hair and slutty make up. Just bloody perfect. She couldn’t even pull off a swift exit without stuffing it up. Then again, maybe she took after her mother, for whom swift exits weren’t an option when it came to men. Outstaying your welcome was more her thing.

‘I need a shower,’ she said stiffly. ‘And then I need to act like I’ve done nothing this evening except work.’

She sat up quickly and crossed the room to the ensuite bathroom, the crumpled sheet clamped against her body to hide her modesty, not caring that he’d explored every inch of her in the last few hours. The sheet unwound itself from him and the bed as she tugged it after her and when she glanced back he was lying back on the pillows watching her, that little half-smile on his lips that made her stomach melt like toffee, arms behind his head, his tanned and toned body completely naked in all its strong gorgeousness. Her heart leapt into full gallop and heat bloomed in her cheeks as she rounded the corner into the bathroom at full speed.

She could no longer write this off as a mad moment. There was no heated phone call with her mother to blame this time for her impulsiveness. In fact, could something even be impulsive if you did it more than once?

She leaned her boiling cheek against the cool tile wall. She was NOT about to fall for him. She absolutely wasn’t. What this was – if it was actually anything at all – was an inconsequential fling. If what Lucy had said was anything to go by, she’d just joined the ranks of normality, nothing more. And could it really do that much harm? Couldn’t she even see it as a way of gaining some much-needed insight into the world her mother populated? She’d never understood her mother’s behaviour, had never managed an easy relationship with her. Maybe this could be a way of slaying some demons.

Her mind was halfway to being convinced, her body was already there. It would be so easy to just talk herself into carrying on with this because the beauty of it was that she already knew how it would end. That fact in itself made the risk so much more palatable. She could be certain that she was in control of this situation because she knew exactly what she was getting into here, both in terms of intimacy and time frame. It would be done with by the end of the week. She knew how he operated – she’d read it a hundred times in different gossip magazines or newspapers. Read about
