“See” he said his voice triumphant “You can do anything”
Stepping away from her he suddenly felt the need to put as much distance between them as possible before he forgot that his friend was waiting downstairs for them and threw her onto the bed right there and then
“Tom is joining us for dinner. He thinks that you are here to finalise plans for the hotel. Kira for Bills sake play along”
She looked at him, her body still trembling from the need he had ignited in her, before nodding her head in submission. Once again she felt self loathing at the way she had been unable to resist his touch, had allowed him to ignite such a hungry response from her. She had cringed at the way he had triumphed over her seeing how he was able to control her body to do as he wished.#p#分页标题#e#
Surprisingly the dinner with Tom was more than pleasant. Kira was relieved not to have been left to make small talk with Craig with the spectre of what was to follow hanging over them. Tom who initially had seemed cool towards her had soon relaxed and began telling jokes which had them both in stitches. They had laughed back at her stories of what some clients thought was good taste enjoying the way she was able to bring these stories to life.
“ze faux fur iz parfect” she dramatically gestured
“I vant it all over ze walls”
They had laughed uncontrollably
“Did you do it” Tom eventually managed
With a pained sigh she said
“ze customer is alvays right”
She had been surprised to see Craig laughing with her for a change. She had always loved his smile and laugh and it caused pleasurable sensations to run through her.
Tom was surprised to find that Kira Black was nothing like he had expected. She was smart, funny, and incredibly beautiful and there was an air of innocence about her that was very alluring. He could understand why his friend had fallen for the young woman but struggled to understand how she had done what she had to him. Tom was a good judge of character, and his senses told him that Kira was not the woman Craig had painted her.
“So Kira do you have a husband back home” he asked
Kira smiled shaking her head
“Some lucky man dragging his heels to get you up the aisle” he continued, aware of Craig’s sudden interest
She shook her head with a laugh
“Nope, I don’t need the complication in my life right now thank you”
“Really” he said with interest in his voice
“So there is nobody you need to rush back to” he had asked in surprise.
Looking a little uncomfortable, she had given a shaky smile........”Well I didn’t say there was nobody, just nobody dragging me up an aisle” she finished darting a quick look at Craig, who was frowning down at his plate
Ignoring the obvious sudden awkwardness in the air Tom had continued jovially
“In that case does that mean that you’re free for dinner some time?”
Kira looked at Craig who was glaring at his friend with disbelief on his face
“Well that’s very nice of you Tom, but come Tuesday evening I will be on a plane heading back home to the UK and until then I have a lot of work to do here – but thanks anyway” she chuckled
Tom smiled back at her aware of the glares being thrown at him from his friend. He smiled at Craig with a knowing look in his eyes before continuing.
“I’m in London a lot, maybe we could meet up for lunch”
Craig couldn’t believe Tom was flirting with her. He felt angry at the little scene playing out in front of him; his eyes warning Tom to back off as his friend smiled sweetly back at him.
“Why don’t we move next door for a drink” he finally said, a controlled anger in his tone.
Tom laughed, looking at his watch
“Sorry, no can do” he said “didn’t realise it was so late. I’ve got to be off…. Besides shouldn’t drink and fly”
Gently he took Kiras hand and kissed it gallantly “You can let me know about lunch”
Kira had grinned back, nodding gently
“Let me walk you to the pad” Craig insisted, glowering at his friend who seemed to be finding the situation amusing, as the two of them had disappeared leaving her alone.
As they had not eaten in the large dining room, but in the kitchen, Kira started to clear the table herself putting the plates into the large dishwasher. When she had finished she sat back down and poured herself another glass of the delicious wine which had accompanied the meal, suddenly feeling nervous again about the night ahead.
Outside Craig had demanded to know what Tom was playing at.
He had just chuckled.
“What’s the problem Craig?”
Craig had looked darkly at him
