She wants to ask what happens when he is found and brought home. Will they ever see each other again or is this just a really enjoyable holiday romance? But she can’t ask the question. Probably because she doesn't want to hear the answer.

He’ll leave and go back to his weird and wonderful life. He has to. And she’ll be left missing him.

‘I was going to ask if we can go back inside. I’m freezing.’ She can feel his body tense against her. He doesn't buy that for a second, but he keeps quiet and unwraps her from his coat so she can walk inside with him.

‘You going to let me warm you up?’ he asks as he closes the door behind them. ‘We have a few hours to occupy before we need to leave.’

‘That depends. What did you have in mind?’

Nick grins and points to the stairs. ‘After you. I think it’s time to see just how good you can be for me.’

Scarlett sits on theend of her bed, waiting for Nick. He's taking a few minutes to make sure everything is secure downstairs, before he joins her. And she’s already wet thinking about what he’s going to do.

He doesn’t leave her waiting long. Nick closes the bedroom door behind him and points to the far side of the room. ‘I want you over there. Stand facing the chair.’

She does as she’s told while Nick pulls down his braces and takes off his top. He lounges back in the chair at the end of her bed, his legs stretched out in front of him, spread wide. He rests his head on his hand and levels his pale eyes on her. ‘Take off your clothes.’

She laughs, nerves taking hold under his intense scrutiny. ‘What?’

‘Take off your clothes, Scarlett.’

‘You mean like a striptease?’

He shakes his head. ‘No. It’s what’s underneath that I care about. It doesn’t matter how you take off your clothes. I want to see you naked in front of me. Now.’ His lips curl into a slight smile, before he returns to being serious. ‘Don’t make me ask you again.’

She swallows as her body responds to what he’s doing. Or not doing. Just talking to her is turning her to putty. She quickly takes off her clothes, instinctively wrapping her arms around herself.

‘Don't ever hide yourself from me. Arms down. I want to see your stunning body.’

She lowers her arms, the goosebumps rising on her skin having nothing to do with being cold. Nick’s eyes are taking in every inch of her body, his intense gaze full of promise. And she can’t wait to find out what he’s going to do.

‘Kneel.’

She drops to her knees, her heart racing in her chest. Nick doesn’t move. His massive body laid out in the chair in front of her like some god, and she’s powerless to disobey. Not that she wants to. She wants so much more.
