This time with her had been wonderful, he had not felt so relaxed in years, in fact not since they were last together he thought wryly to himself. He would buy her a home somewhere close to the strip and visit her whenever he could. He already knew that that would be often - Kira Black fascinated him. With this thought gaining momentum he went looking for her, finally seeing her standing on the balcony her crumpled hair blowing gently with the sea breeze.


Kira smiled as he came up behind her moving her hair away from the nape of her neck so that he could kiss it. Pleasant tremors instantly passed up and down her body as she groaned gently.


“What do you want to do today” he asked his breath soft against her neck


Giving a gentle laugh she responded


“What happened to … at your beck and call” she chuckled


Moving his arms around her slender waist and lifting her slightly off her feet he began moving back into the bedroom


“Well in that case” he said in a husky voice “back to bed”


She squealed in delight as together they fell back onto the bed their bodies instantly entwining with each other.


When they finally rose, Craig had smiled mischievously


“Now given the need to conserve energy, I really think that we should carry on with our good practice started last night and share this shower” he had laughed throatily.


She had chuckled back


“mmmmmmmmmm for the sake of the planet that is very tempting…..but I have to make a phone call”


She noticed the change in his face, as he moved into the bathroom, a small frown on his replacing the relaxed happy smile.


Sighing softly she placed the call spending the time he was in the shower on her phone.


Seeing her just calling off as he came out with a towel wrapped around his long lean body, his hair still glistening with the shower water he looked at her carefully


“Are you going to tell me who you’re phoning?”


“Please Craig… don’t” she answered with a pleading tone in her voice


He closed his mouth a serious look in his eyes as he turned away slowly retrieving clothes from one of the drawers in the large white chest of drawers.


“OK”


Relieved she made her way to the bathroom to shower herself.


In the shower she thought about the phone calls. If she were to tell him it would make the whole situation worse. He had wanted her here for a few days. He had seen her as somebody to spend the time with relaxing with no strings attached. She had made it so easy for him, offering no resistance, she groaned at how quickly she had melted against him, how she had let him take her to such passionate heights and how she had kissed and caressed his body with abandon. Yes, telling him would make everything so much more difficult.


When she was showered she found Craig sitting out on the balcony. Wearing a pair of Khaki shorts and a coral tea shirt and sporting a pair of dark glasses, he looked content as he looked out over the sea.


Kira had pulled out blue shorts and a pink sleeveless silky shirt which gave her an air of innocence as he looked at her. Seeing her hair fall down her back he once more admired her.


“We had better go” he said huskily


“Looking like that you might not ever get out of this room”


Kira smiled sweetly


“Why do you think at your age you could catch me” she mocked him. He leapt up to chase her, and giggling she ran out of the room and down the stairs before she felt herself being lifted in his arms


“Care to say that again” he laughed down at her


Laughing back she shook her head


“Not me… I know when to shut up” she smiled before pulling his head down to kiss her


He moaned before placing her back on her feet.


“OK breakfast it is” he stated placing a soft kiss on her smiling lips


“Then fancy going out in the boat”


Her enthusiastic nodding caused him to flash her another dazzling smile


In the kitchen Maria busied herself making them a delicious breakfast, which they both enjoyed greatly, having expounded so much energy the previous evening. As they were finishing their coffee and in Kiras case Tea the housekeeper rushed into the kitchen


“I am sorry Mr Kent there is a phone call for you – the caller says that it is very important. It is Mr James”


With a worried frown Craig strode quickly out of the kitchen and into his study leaving her alone.


For 30 minutes Kira waited for his return sipping her tea slowly savouring the taste of the now luke warm liquid. When he returned his mouth was tight, his face grim and his body stiff with a barely contained anger.


“I’m sorry Kira, I have to cancel” he said. However, his mind was elsewhere and the look he gave her was one containing some of the old anger


“I need to go back to Las Vegas” for a second he watched her thoughtfully


“Is everything OK” she asked the note of concern in her voice making him look strangely at her


“Want to come” he finally asked her as casually as he could manage


“What’s wrong” she asked


Frowning he sat beside her


“A few years ago somebody tried a hostile take over of my company” he said watching her as though he was expecting some kind of reaction


“I fought back and to cut a long story short won” he paused for a second “now the same guy is going after a good friend of mine”


Kira mumbled something supportive, but it seemed to make him frown only deeper.


“I need to go and speak with my friend, see what help I can give him. He seems to think that if I beat him then maybe we can come up with a plan” looking closely at her he finished “lets hope so”


“Of course I’ll come” she said “But will I be in the way”


Craig smiled gently “No, in fact you might be the perfect cover for me”


Kira looked at him in surprise


“He’s throwing a garden party this afternoon and inviting friends and family….I wasn’t planning on going because I planned to be here….but now it seems I need to go after all. Taking you along will look like we are only there to join in the festivities.”


With a tightening of his mouth he continued


“This man has a track record of using others to gather information about those he’s after….so if you’re along I’ll just look like I’m there for a bit of fun”


He smiled at her.


“Sorry about the boat trip”


Kira shrugged “Doesn’t matter” she said “I’ll just go change”


He nodded


“Kira do you have business cards with you”


Surprised she nodded


“Bring them with you… there are going to be a lot of key hotel owners there …. Might do you and Bill some good”


Surprised Kira nodded her head


“OK” she said her voice showing her surprise


He had originally not planned on asking Kira along, but it seemed an ideal opportunity for her to see how being his mistress would be beneficial to her career before he brought up the subject that night.


“I’ll change in my room” he said much to her surprise, “I need to make some private phone calls and I’ll meet you back down here in 15 minutes”


She wondered why the secrecy, but reminded herself that she was only a guest, and an employee at that. It was strange that this fact had never really sunk in to her until that moment.


15 minutes after they had separated on the upstairs landing, Kira had made her way back down to the hallway. She could see Craig already standing waiting for her dressed in khaki chinos wearing a black short sleeve polo shirt, which accentuated his broad shoulders and long lean back. Kira was once again reminded of how masculine he was as he stood leaning against the wall one foot crossed over the other, his hands deep within his trousers pockets watching her as she made her way down the stairs. His eyes were appreciative of the way she looked and his smile was already causing her to have to fight down sudden impulses which flared up within her body.


She wore a simple summer dress the colour of soft cornflower blue. It clasped from behind at her neck and then the A line shape fell softly to her knees. The simple shape of the dress added to its effect when worn by Kira who seemed oblivious to how beautiful she looked as the material barely skimmed her wonderful body while the shorter length allowed her wonderful legs to be seen to their best. To finish she had a matching colour pair of blue shoes with low heels, and a small bag which hung from her shoulder.


As she reached the bottom of the stairs he moved forward taking her arm as he guided her out of the house placing her gently into his sports car which he had moved to the front of the house.


“You look wonderful” he said, his eyes mirroring his words.


Kira flashed him a warm smile while pulling a small scarf from her bag and securing her hair remembering the previous day.


They drove the 15 minutes to the airfield, where she once again found herself seated in the plane she had arrived in 2 days ago. How different everything was now she thought remembering the awkwardness of that journey. Now however, he sat talking with her, laughing as she leaned in against him. She was aware of how he looked hungrily at her long legs which were crossed in front of her and how she longed to feel his hands on her body.
