“
Hello, anyone there?”

Kitty tried to speak, but nothing came out.
What am I doing?
Before she could change her mind, she
flipped her phone shut. Only for it to ring almost immediately. She
jumped out of her skin, but answered it nonetheless.

“
Hello.”

“
Hello, Sexy.” Alex’s voice
murmured in her ear, and all her nerve endings stood to attention.
“This is the charming green eyed thief of my underwear, I take
it?”

“
Urm, yes.” Kitty managed to
squeak.

“
Something else you need me for
tonight?”

Kitty’s barely audible groan made him chuckle
down the phone.

“
Where are you?”

“
Urm, in my hotel room.”

“
What are you wearing?”

Kitty glanced down on her bare legs and the
oversized t-shirt she wore to bed and grimaced. “Not
much.”

The very male groan that came through the
phone line brought all her female senses to high alert.

“
Look, I can be back at my hotel in
ten minutes, so let’s do this properly. What do you
say?”

****

Kitty’s heart beat a strange staccato against
her breastbone. What had possessed her to slip back into her school
girl outfit, she would never know. Yet here she was, dressed like
some third-rate hooker, about to embark on a one night stand.
Taking a deep, fortifying breath, she knocked on the door of Alex’s
hotel room. All was quiet on the other side, and she was just about
to turn round when the door opened; and Kitty’s greeting stuck in
her throat.

Dressed in nothing but low riding jeans, Alex
smiled at her, and she hastily wrenched her eyes upwards from the
incredible abs on display. Covered with a light dusting of chest
hair that trailed down to his jeans, they would give any model a
run for his money, and Kitty swallowed. Dressed he was bad enough,
but like this he was breathtaking, and judging by that lazy smile
he knew it, too.

“
Room service around here just
keeps on getting better.” Alex’s husky voice raised goose bumps on
her exposed skin. “Coming in?”

He hooked one finger under her chin and tugged
the end of her shirt tails with the other hand, forcing her to take
a step toward him.

“
I-I shouldn’t be here, really. I’m
not sure why I’m even here.” Kitty mumbled the words, and heat
spread into her cheeks.

Alex merely smiled and pulled her closer
still. “Liar, we both know why you’re here. Question is, my naughty
little girl, will you step through the door and expand your
curriculum?” Alex’s heated whispers against her ear sent her heart
into overdrive, and she leant into his warmth. His clean, male
scent wrapped itself round her senses, and her stomach flip-flopped
in delicious anticipation. It had been so long since any man had
held her. That had to be the reason for her immediate reaction to
this man.

“
Well, Sir, that all depends what
you have in mind, because I have been very naughty.”

Alex went very still at her breathy statement,
and Kitty bit her lip. Has she read this wrong? Was he not up for a
little role-play? She hesitantly raised her eyes to his face to
read his expression, and the heat in his gaze scorched her
skin.

“
So, I’ve heard. Come here, and
take your punishment.” His deep voice had dropped several octaves,
and he grabbed her by the wrist and spun her into the room. The
door clicked shut, the sound loud in the quiet room, and before she
could even blink, he had her pinned against the wall. One jeans
clad thigh spread her legs wide, and he raised her hands high above
her head, whilst his other hand blazed a trail of heat along her
exposed tummy. His mouth claimed hers in a bruising kiss, and she
opened to his quiet demand automatically. His tongue found hers in
an erotic dance that left her jelly-legged, breathless, and
grateful for his big body holding her up against the
wall.

He groaned his approval when she kissed him
back, and he deepened the kiss, his fingers slowly slipping south,
until they dipped under the elastic of her thong.

“
My, you are a naughty girl. What
have we here?”

He chuckled into her neck, and Kitty gasped
when he thrust one finger into her wet core.

“
So wet already, and we’ve only
just started.” He flicked her clitoris once, and the slight pain
caused a renewed burst of moisture to coat his fingers as he
inserted another finger into her and found her g-spot. Kitty moaned
into his shoulder as sensations built deep inside her core, and he
licked himself down the column of her throat towards her breast.
She screamed when he bit one nipple through the shirt and bra and
thrust her hips at him, desperate to reach the release his talented
fingers were driving her toward.

“
Not so fast. You’re being
punished, remember.”

Alex smiled and withdrew his fingers. He
licked each digit in turn, murmuring his approval and then stepped
back, his heated gaze roaming over her body. Kitty clenched her
thighs together in a vain effort to relieve the hot ache in her
pussy.

“
Spread your legs, naughty girl.”
Alex growled the demand, and Kitty’s eyes widened at the steely
determination she saw in his face. “You will not come until I give
you permission. Do you hear me?”

“
Yes.”
Good God, does that porn
star voice really belong to me?

Alex’s eyes narrowed, and Kitty automatically
dropped her gaze. She licked her lips, seeing the huge erection
straining the flies of his jeans.
Oh my.
He was clearly as
turned on as she by their little game. But how far would he take
this? And did she trust him enough to find out?

“
Yes, what?” His deep voice held an
edge of steel, and she bit back her moan. That voice alone would
send her over the edge. Who’d have thought a little role-play could
be so erotic?

“
Yes, Sir.”

“
Good girl. Now strip –
slowly.”

Alex’s voice brooked no argument, and Kitty
hastened to comply. She fumbled with the tails of her blouse until
Alex stepped forward and ripped the thing clean off her.

“
Not that slowly.”

His eyes wicked, he unhooked her bra and sent
that, too, flying. He whistled his approval as her breasts fell
free. He cupped each mound in turn and spun her around and toward
the double bed, which took up one side of the hotel room. The slap
on her ass took her by surprise, and she yelped. He soothed the
sting with his large hand massaging her ass cheeks, and he chuckled
into her neck.

His fingers once again dipped into her wet
folds, and she froze when he inserted one digit, slick with her
juices, into her anus. Heaven help her, that felt way too good.
Heat spread across her skin, and Alex bit into her earlobe, as his
fingers continued their erotic dance in and out of her forbidden
passage, and her body betrayed her arousal by a renewed gush of
moisture between her legs.

“
That’s my naughty girl.” Alex’s
erratic breathing into her neck pitched her own arousal sky high,
and she put up no resistance when he urged her onto the bed, his
naked, warm, torso heating her back.

“
Get on all fours for
me.”

Her stomach leapt into her throat, but she
scrambled to follow his whispered demand. The air was cool on her
exposed flesh when he slowly pulled her thong down her legs and
flipped her skirt up and out of the way. She helped him by kicking
the scrap of material out of the way.

“
You look so fucking hot like
this.”

Alex’s growled words skimmed across her heated
flesh, and Kitty swallowed the moan threatening to escape when he
licked her slit to clit. His large hands spread her wider, and his
tongue feasted on her pussy, pushing her arousal higher and higher,
but withdrawing every time she came too close to release. Kitty’s
hands fisted in the bedcovers, her needy moans filling the air,
urging him to take her, to let her come, anything to get the
release she so desperately needed.

Yet, still he took his time, chuckling to
himself and swatting her ass every time she dared hurry him along.
When he finally withdrew, and she heard the rustle of clothing,
followed by the rib of foil, she moaned her relief. Alex rubbed his
cock along her pussy and up down her ass, and Kitty tensed when he
pushed against the tight ring of muscle. No man had ever entered
before.

“
No, not there.”

“
Shh, you’re sure?” Alex kissed her
shoulder blades, and his hand circled her clit in lazy strokes that
sent her body climbing once again. She gritted her teeth and shook
her head, not trusting her voice to work.

“
Pity. You’ve such a naughty
ass.”

Alex thrust deep into her pussy instead,
seating himself to the hilt, and Kitty screamed at the sudden
invasion. Her internal muscles gripped his thick cock, and Alex
growled his approval as he withdrew almost all the way and then
thrust deep again. Every move scraped against her g-spot, and stars
exploded behind Kitty’s eyelids as her body flew into a mind
shattering orgasm. Alex followed her right over that edge, and
Kitty’s legs gave way. Alex collapsed on top of her with a muffled
groan, before he rolled off, taking her with him, until she was
lying on top of him in a tangle of arms and legs.

“
Hell, woman, you’ll be the death
of me.” Alex grinned at her, and Kitty gasped when he swatted her
ass. “I’ll have to punish you again for coming without
me!”

****

Kitty woke up slowly, nestled into Alex’s very
hard, warm, male body. Her eyes flew open as she remembered last
night.
Shit.
She hadn’t meant to fall asleep. She risked a
quick peek at the sleeping man she was plastered against. He looked
even more handsome in the morning light than he had the evening
before. His long eyelashes rested on high cheekbones, and the
morning stubble made him look even sexier. His black hair tumbled
over one eye, and his sensual mouth had her lips tingling in
remembered awareness of his kisses. Heat coiled through her,
recalling how much pleasure he had bestowed on her last
night.

Oh my, but the man is
gorgeous
.

Kitty didn’t know she had it in her to be that
responsive, and she blushed furiously in the bright light of day.
She had to get out of here and fast. This was so not her. What had
gotten into her last night? Where were her clothes? She spotted her
knickers by the bottom of the bed, and more heat rose in her
cheeks, recalling how eagerly she’d helped Alex get rid of them.
She bit her lip, recalling his hands and teeth all over her body.
Fresh moisture pooled between her legs, and she forced herself to
move away. She spotted her skirt at the bottom of the bed and her
shirt by the door. Alex stirred in his sleep. His hand reached out
into the empty space her body had occupied only minutes before, and
Kitty froze. Was he waking up? But Alex merely smiled before his
even breathing told her that he was still fast asleep.

She gave up trying to locate her bra and
tiptoed out of the room and Alex’s life.

Chapter Two

London – Four Years
Later

Kitty kissed little Noah and went to have a
quiet word with the nursery supervisor waiting by the
gate.

“
We had a really busy weekend, went
to Brighton with my friends and their kids,” Kitty said.

“
Oh, how lovely. He must have
enjoyed that. Last time you went he talked of nothing but the beach
for days.”

The middle-aged, slightly rotund brunette
smiled towards Noah. The little boy lined his cars up in perfect
order on the rug of the playroom. His tongue stuck out in his
concentration, his mother’s green eyes narrowed under a shock of
unruly black hair.

“
Yes, he does love the seaside, but
it tires him out. Especially this trip. It’s my friend’s wedding
anniversary this week, so it was a busy weekend. He may need a
longer nap than usual today and may be a bit cranky.”

“
No worries, Kitty, he so seldom is
that it’s really no bother.” Sarah patted Kitty’s hand with a
reassuring smile. “He’ll be fine. Now off you go. I’ll ring you if
there’s any problem at all.”

Kitty smiled uncertainly and with one last
lingering look at her son, walked back to her car.

She started her little runabout with a heavy
heart and drove the short journey to her primary school. She was
all too aware of the date. It had loomed large in her mind all
weekend. Four years to the day, since that fateful night in
Amsterdam that changed her life forever. Not that she had any
regrets. Noah was adorable and had completed her in ways she would
not have thought possible. He was doing so well, so much better
than anyone thought a child like him would. A child like him – how
many times had she heard that damnable phrase? He was just Noah to
her and always would be.

She rounded the last corner, put her card in
the slot for the barrier, pulled into the staff car park and swore.
Shit
. She had forgotten. It was fire safety awareness week.
As acting fire safety officer, she had to escort the local fire
station manager around the building while he made his checks. There
was his car. The only problem was their local station manager had
taken an unhealthy interest in her the last couple of times they’d
met. The man was middle aged, balding and, in her opinion,
lecherous. She grimaced at her reflection in the rear view mirror
and cursed her unruly hair that was already coming out of the knot
she usually wore to work.
