'Shh, that's my job Take the towel off,' he instructed on a sultry whisper

Had she thought she needed darkness to feel liberated? Well, that just went to prove how wrong she could be—because with him touching her in that light, teasing way Laura was suddenly overwhelmed with desire, and she pulled the towel from him and tossed it away.

'Like that?'

'D'accord Just like that'. He shuddered and closed his eyes as she encircled him 'Mmm—that is so good, cherie '

'Is it?' Made bold by his murmured praise, Laura rubbed her hand up and down him in a wanton way which seemed both alien to her and yet utterly right. Or was that just the Xavier effect? Making a relatively inexperienced woman suddenly feel as if she would like to work her way through the entire Kama Suira.

'How good?'

'Too good,' he groaned, and, snatching her hand away, lifted her up and slowly lowered her onto him instead, placing his hands on either side of her hips and moving her up and down on his body, while he pierced her honeyed sweetness with his thick shaft.

It was unbearably erotic to see the contrast of her pale skin with the thick curtain of dark red hair which spilled down over her rose-tipped breasts But her eyes were closed 'Look at me,' he urged 'Laura, look at me '

Laura did—feeling suddenly shy For it seemed the most intimate act of all for their eyes to meet and hold while he thrust into her She felt her pleasure suddenly escalating out of control—her heart contracting along with her body as a great whooshing wave of emotion began to carry her away

'I can't wait,' she cried out as spasms of profound pleasure began to pull her under.

Xavier's felt her tighten around him 'Then don't,' he urged, helpless himself when, minutes later, he let go and was sent shooting into orbit by another orgasm of such intensity that his heart seemed to stop for a brief moment And when the waves of pleasure had died away he was shaken as that feeling stole over him again—the lazy contentment which made minutes drift into hours, so that he must have slept.

When he awoke it was to find Laura lying watching him—and as he stretched luxuriously he wondered if they could get away with spending the whole day in bed

'Hello, again,' he said, and stretched lazily.

Laura knew she had to pull herself together She had been lying there watching him while he was sleeping—the two thick black arcs of his lashes feathering the dark olive skin Mainly, she'd been feeling a kind of dazed bliss.

In sleep he looked softer—almost vulnerable Yet hadn't there been traces of that same vulnerability when he had been telling her about his reaction upon meeting the man who had sired him? Or was that just Laura projecting what Laura wanted to see?

'Hello,' she said, and then, employing her usual sharp thinking instead of some love-hungry little-girl yearning, she forced herself to confront the reality of the situation.

Fact they had just had sex

Fact Xavier was hereto spend time with his father, not to be in bed with his father's lawyer.

So what would any other woman do in this situation? She would give him a cool thanks-for-the-memory kind of smile and she would get out early, with her dignity and her pride and her heart still intact

'I'd better go,' she whispered, and even managed to lean over to plant a kiss on his nose.

Xavier shook his head 'Let's ring for coffee,' he yawned.

'Id rather not—I don't want anyone to know I'm in bed with you '

'Why not? Malik didn't make you sign a vow of celibacy before you arrived, did he?'

'Of course not,' said Laura 'I just don't particularly want to broadcast what we've been doing, if it's all the same with you'

'Oh, come on' He gave a slow, cynical smile 'You would have to be very naive if you believed that anything which goes on within the walls of this Palace isn't already known by Malik and his spies' He tilted her chin with his finger 'And I am sure that this bewitching lawyer is far from naive '

There was something in his tone she didn't like—something which was making her regret what had happened.

Determined not to make a big deal of it, Laura slid off the bed and began to pull on her clothes as unselfconsciously as possible—which wasn't easy with those eyes following her every move.

It wasn't until she had dressed and composed her face into the kind of even-though-we've-just-had-sex-I'm-not-going-to-come-over-all-heavy-on-you expression she knew was expected, that she dared to look at him again And despaired that her heart melted at just the sight of him.

'So what are you going to do now?' she asked

She had clammed up, he thought suddenly. Retreated from him in a way he was unused to. His eyes narrowed Now, why was that? 'I presume you aren't talking breakfast?'
