he sought release from his agony.

      And he’d thought he’d be more relaxed inside her.

      Foolish Rafe!

      ‘Rafe,’ she cried out, her arms tightening around his neck, her lips breathing hot fire against his throat. ‘Rafe…’

      Her first spasm sent him into orbit, to a place he hadn’t known existed. Was it pleasure or pain as his seed was wrenched from his body? Agony or ecstasy as her almost violent contractions kept milking him dry, making him moan as he’d never moaned before.

      Rafe didn’t know if he was experiencing happiness, or humiliation. All he knew was that no sooner did he feel himself falling away from that place she’d rocketed him to, than he wanted to be there again.

      ‘You’re right,’ she murmured, kissing his throat and stroking his back, his shoulders, his chest. ‘You didn’t hurt me.’

      His eyes opened to stare down at her.

      ‘You looked so big,’ she explained breathily. ‘I haven’t been with a man that big before.’

      Rafe was startled. He’d always thought of himself as pretty average. What she’d been seeing was mostly her doing. Still, he was secretly flattered.

      ‘I’d thought you were worried I might hurt you emotionally,’ he said.

      ‘Oh, no,’ she said, shaking her head. ‘No, that won’t happen. I won’t ever let that happen.’

      Now Rafe felt piqued. Which was crazy. She’d spelled out what she wanted when she’d propositioned him and he’d agreed. Sex on tap for a fortnight without any strings and without any follow-up.

      He’d thought such a set-up was every man’s fantasy come true. Now, for some reason that he hadn’t anticipated, Rafe wasn’t so sure.

      Oh, for pity’s sake, stepped in the voice of cold reason. What’s got into you? This is every man’s fantasy come true. Stop playing the sensitive New Age guy and start being exactly what she thinks you are. Rafe the rake!

      The trouble was Rafe wasn’t really a rake. Never had been. Still, it might be fun. He could do every outrageous thing he’d ever wanted to do and get away with it. Make the most wicked suggestions. Play Casanova to the hilt, with a bit of the Marquis de Sade thrown in.

      He had to smile at that. Him, into bondage and stuff? Wasn’t his usual cup of tea, but that hammock had possibilities…

      ‘Why are you smiling like that?’ she asked.

      ‘Like what?’

      ‘Like the cat who got the cream.’

      ‘Perhaps because I just did. You are the best in bed, sweetheart. Simply the best.’

      She looked slightly uncomfortable with his compliment, as though she didn’t like her performance being rated. Yet she must know she was good at sex.

      She was a complex creature, and a maze of contradictions. Cool and ladylike on the surface whilst all this white-hot heat was simmering away underneath.

      Rafe aimed to keep her furnace well stoked for the next fortnight. She wasn’t going to be allowed to retreat into that ridiculous touch-me-not façade, not for a moment. She might think she’d hired him as her private toy boy, but in fact she was the one going to be the toy, to be played in whatever way he fancied.

      Rafe might have been shocked by the wickedness of his thoughts under normal circumstances. But these were hardly normal circumstances, and it was what she wanted, after all.

      ‘Hey, but I’m hungry,’ he said. ‘Aren’t you?’

      ‘A little. But I could do with a shower first. We’ve been travelling all day.’

      ‘Mmm. Me, too. But why have a shower when there’s that lovely big spa? We could pop in together. What say we take that picnic basket with us as well, kill two birds with one stone?’

      ‘But…’

      ‘But, nothing, honey. You just do what good old Rafe tells you and you’ll have the time of your life.’

      RAFE was right, Isabel thought two days later. She was having the time of her life. He was exactly what she needed just now.

      Oversexed, of course. He never left her alone.

      But she wasn’t complaining. If she was brutally honest, she wanted him as much as he wanted her. He was wonderfully flirtatious and fun, with just the right amount of bad boy wickedness to his lovemaking which she’d always found exciting.

      ‘So what do you think?’ she said as she modelled her new red bikini for him.

      Rafe was still sitting on the terrace in the morning sunshine, partaking in the slowest, longest breakfast. He was naked to the waist, a pair of colourful board shorts slung low around his hips. He was all male.

      His eyes lifted and he stared at her. She hadn’t worn this particular swimming costume for him as yet and it was scandalously brief. All the swimwear she’d bought with Luke’s money was scandalous in some way, selected in a mood of rebellion and defiance.

      And with Rafe in mind.

      The white one-piece she’d worn yesterday went totally transparent when wet. Swimming had come to a swift end on that occasion, which was perhaps just as well, since her fair skin couldn’t take too much sun. As it was, she was slightly pink. All over.

      ‘Turn round,’ he ordered.

      She did, knowing full well what the sight of her bottom in nothing but a thong would do to him. Still, that was the general idea. She’d been like a cat on a hot tin roof since he’d come up behind her as she’d been setting out breakfast on the terrace an hour ago, and proceeded to have her right then and there, out in the open. No foreplay whatsoever. Just him, whispering hot words in her ear as he lifted the hem of the sarong she was wearing, then commanding her to stand perfectly still whilst he quite selfishly took his pleasure.

      She’d nearly spilled the jug of orange juice she’d been holding at the time. She hadn’t come, of course. He’d been much too fast and she’d been much too tense. It had left her terribly turned on, though. She was still turned on an hour later. Hence the red bikini.

      Isabel hadn’t brought Rafe along with her to remain frustrated for long.

      When he said nothing, she spun back round and glared at him, her hands finding her hips.

      ‘Well, what do you think?’

      ‘I think you should come over here,’ he said, and downed the rest of his orange juice.

      A quiver ran all through her as she walked towards him. What was he going to do to her? Or make her do to him?

      When he handed her the empty glass, she just stared at him.

      ‘What’s this?’ she said.

      ‘I’ve finished. I thought you might like to clear the table.’

      ‘Then you thought wrong,’ she snapped.

      ‘In that case, what do you want to do? Or should I say, what is it you want me to do to you? If you tell me in minute explicit detail, Isabel, I’ll do it exactly as you describe. Anything you want, honey. Anything at all.’

      Her mouth had gone dry. ‘Anything?’

      ‘Uh-huh.’

      ‘I…I don’t know what I want…’

      He took the empty glass out of her hands, put it back on the table, then drew her down onto his lap. ‘Yes you do,’ he murmured as he moved aside the tiny triangles which barely covered her breasts and began playing with her nipples. ‘You know exactly what you want.’
