Nik hadn’t kissed her last night.

He’d wanted to. Only an idiot would have missed the tension in his body and the desire in his eyes as he’d looked at her, but he hadn’t. Instead, he’d held back with the sort of self-control she could only ever dream of accomplishing and shut the door between them.

She’d needed a cold shower, a long one, before she’d had any chance of sleeping. She pursed her lips as she lay on her back in the pool.

Why hadn’t he kissed her? Wasn’t that what womanizing playboys did?

Her dragon growled at her in response. The answer she was trying to avoid was in his words to her last night. It was her choice.

She hadn’t believed him when he’d said that. In fact, she’d stayed awake most of the night waiting for him to prove her right and try the door. The sunrise had begun to lighten the sky outside before she’d been forced to admit she’d been wrong. Before she’d had to admit that it really wasn’t going to happen.

For the first time, she realized that all the pretty words she’d thought were just a line, weren’t. They weren’t practiced lies that fell off his lips in order to get her into bed as she’d assumed.

No, he’d actually meant them.

Which also meant because of her assumptions, she was as frustrated as all hell and craving his kisses.

And more, a little voice in the back of her head added. You might as well admit it. You’re falling for him.

“Am not,” she murmured to herself and then kicked her legs in the water to cover up in case anyone had heard her.

Totally are, the voice argued, backed up by a purr as her dragon got in on the act.

You can shut up as well, she told it and flipped over to swim a length of the pool underwater.

She swam harder. Faster. Used to the relentless training regime of the blacks, she couldn’t just doze in the sun and relax. She got antsy and needed to do something if she was forced to sit still for more than five minutes at a time.

This was definitely a different sort of life, she decided. The women with Nik’s business associates had all congregated around the main pool after the breakfast she’d missed and had spent the day either sunbathing or glued to their phones. One of them appeared to be searching for that perfect selfie in vain while the rest looked on, bored expressions on their faces. Not one of them appeared to be here to do anything other than relax and look pretty when required.

And none of them seemed bothered by the total step backward for women to be considered nothing more than arm candy. She’d actually heard one guy tell his wife/girlfriend/mistress... whatever she was... not to worry her pretty little head about business she wouldn’t understand.

Adra had been forced to grit her teeth and see how long she could hold her breath underwater at that point. Other people’s relationships were none of her business.
