As Alex hurriedly stripped off in the bedroom, he smiled at the memory of the shock that had zoomed into her eyes Harriet claimed to have been around, but he suspected that her idea of ‘been around’ was totally different fro the sophisticated woman of the world she liked to think she was Not a femme fatale, either But he liked that about her; liked that she could still be shocked

He couldn’t wait to shock her some more

After a quick trip to the bathroo, placed it on the bedside table, then cli with anticipation, his erection bordering on painful He regretted now not ju as he conceded he was not going to be able to last all that long the first tihthe’d worked on over the years

Where was that infernal wolared at the still-eone by now

Harriet knew she’d passed her five-e to walk stark naked into Alex’s bedroo bathrobe she’d worn earlier, except that it wasn’t in her bathroom anygoell aware that a five-star resort would provide one In the end, she grabbed the PJs she’d brought with her and pulled the pants and long sleeves covering almost every inch of her And then there were the unfortunate little-girl colours The bottom was pink-and-white stripes, the top plain white with little pink love hearts all over it Eht them for her for her birthday last year

Thinking of Eroan Her best friend would have a fit if she knehat she was doing at this moment Which ot back from her holiday, her affair with Alex would probably be over Taking a couple of deep breaths, Harriet turned and walked fro inside when she thought of Alex’s reaction He liked to have his orders obeyed

He aiting for her on the bed, sitting up with just a sheet over hinificent chest bare, his handso; major amusement rocketed into his eyes as they raked her up and down He didn’t laugh out loud, but he was close

‘I like your idea of naked,’ he said, shooting her a heart-stopping smile

Her stoht over ‘Sorry I just couldn’t do it’

‘You have no reason to be shy, Harry You have a very beautiful body’

Now her heart flipped over Oh, Harriet, Harriet Be careful You don’t want to fall in love with this devil He’ll eat you alive

She gave hi look as she walked over to the side of the bed closest to where he was lying ‘I do not have a very beautiful body, Alex,’ she denied quietly ‘It’s nice enough, but not anything special Please do not feel you have to flatterhere’

Now he laughed ‘That’s good to know When you caed your mind’

‘Not at all’

‘Then perhaps you could take theested

‘Is that an order?’

‘Not at all,’ he replied, cleverly echoing her oords ‘Would you like me to do it for you?’

Yes, she thought with a dizzying rush of desire But it was imperative she keep some control in all this Harriet already feared that once she was naked in his bed sheto have a couple of raunchy encounters out of bed, another thing entirely to spend the whole night in his arms

Scooping in a steadying breath, she slipped off the botto it onto the ar her attention to the top half Crossing her arms, she lifted it up over her head, hotly aware of the way his eyes were glued to her When at last she stood naked before hith not to treaze was both seductive and terrifying Had any man ever wanted her like this, and vice versa? Alex had said they’d fallen in lust with each other Harriet hoped that was all it was

‘And you think you’re not anything special,’ he growled, shaking his head at her Throwing back the sheet to reveal his own stunning nakedness, Alex stretched out his hand towards her ‘Now co, you I can’t wait another second’
