Chapter 7

Samantha had to wait until the sun had lost its heat before they set out for the reservoir complex. While Zeeshan worked in the more modern office suite, she spent the day reading, walking around the castle, and swimming in the bathing pool, which was adjacent to the hammam baths in which they’d made love the night before.

She felt as if she were in another world—a world insulated from the problems she’d been living with day in, day out, for the past three months. Problems which had consumed her and frightened her. It was a relief to feel safe again, even if it was an illusion. She knew, at some point, Zeeshan would discover who was after her and why. But, until that time, she’d enjoy the luxury and safety of her surroundings, if only for her baby’s sake.

And, maybe, if she managed to discover Zeeshan’s secrets, she would be able to weather the storm when her own secrets were uncovered. She had to get closer to him. She had to make him love her as she loved him. Only then would she possibly stand a chance when he knew the truth.

At the appointed hour, she was waiting for him by the fountain when she sensed, rather than saw him. She felt a prickle track down her spine, coming to rest low inside her. She smiled to herself at their connection before turning slowly around, instinctively allowing her robes to drape around her, showing off her figure, exactly as she knew he liked it.

He stood at the entrance to the garden looking at her. His eyes trailed lazily up her body until they met her own. He greeted her with a sensuous smile of his own.

“You look as if you are in a painting. A heroine from long ago, maybe?”

“A heroine? What kind, I wonder. A warrior woman, a romantic woman, or—”

“A seductress, awaiting her lover.”

“Ah, yes.” Her grin broadened as she walked over to him and touched him, her fingers smoothing up his arm before gripping him firmly. “However, I think you’ll find I’m real enough.”

“A real seductress.” He gave a half-laugh, as he captured her hand in his own. “That’s exactly the kind of seductress I like.”

“Really?” She cocked her head to one side. “I didn’t realize you had different kinds of seductresses in your life.”

“I have only one. You.” He lifted her chin and pressed his lips to hers. She sighed as he, too quickly, pulled away. “And, as much as I’d like you to seduce me now, we’d never leave the castle.”

“Um,” she said, smoothing her finger over her bottom lip, watching with pleasure as his eyes traced the movement of her finger. “I’m beginning to think that might not be such a bad idea.”

He shrugged. “It’s your decision. It was you who wanted to visit the underground cisterns.”

She grimaced, trying to pull herself together, out of this lethargy of sensuality. She sighed and nodded. “Yes, I did. I’d like to see such a wonder of the world.
