She couldn’t believe this was happening—and neither could she res as Ali served them the meal Drax had mentioned Then, while Sadie ate food that wouldn’t have been out of place in a Michelin-starred restaurant, Ali started to res to the bedroom

‘I’ve bought you a couple of cases to hold everything,’ Drax told her ‘I appreciate that you won’t want the e an untidy array of carrier bags My brother is an extremely fastidious s’

‘I’ll remember that,’ Sadie answered dutifully, even as her ner-brand suit? She had never so ner lipstick, never mind a suit

If any other ner wardrobe her suspicions would have been immediately aroused But not only had Drax shown her that even if he wanted to have a physically inti it, she also knew fro obscene amounts of money in ways that were not experienced at hoold watches to e so, or ordering unifor the else they liked better

Even so…Sadie looked at the logos on the few re to be the only designer item in her neardrobe She just hoped that her new clothes were going to fit her

As Sadie waited to descend the stairs from the now stationary jet, she smoothed the delicate silk skirt of the cream suit It fitted her perfectly And, from what she had seen of the rest of the neardrobe she had been supplied with, the clothes were all in colours that were perfect for her—subtle creaeous chocolate-brown silks, and thankfully none of the prissy fussy pinks or patterns she had dreaded

She wasn’t going to admit to herself that his lack of response had disappointed her He was her e more, and there was no reason why he should comment and no reason why she should wish him to do so

‘Ready?’

She had been so busy refusing to ad his approval that she hadn’t noticed that he had stopped talking to the Captain and was now co over to her

‘Yes I…I put on the creaested I hope your brother…’

‘It looks fine’

She earing her hair up, and several fine tendrils had escaped fro to curl softly round her face The silk stroked lovingly against her body, hinting sensuously at what it concealed as though it were a lover The fabric itself possessed a quality that made him want to reach out and touch it—and her He had been aware of that need fro at him with eyes that held both uncertainty and a shy appeal For what? For hihly desirable woman? He couldn’t do that But he wanted to do it He wanted to tell her to show her just how sexy he found her
