November15th:
The whole cab ride to Blaine’s estate is a blur of his hands all over me, his mouth all over mine, and so much heat that I had to stop myself from pulling my clothesoff.
I don’t know what’s come over me. That bitch bartender set something off inside of me with her blatant remarks to Blaine that sent me into a red-hot angerinstantly.
I can’t believe I threw a shot glass ather!
It’s hard to imagine, but I was actually reining myself in when I threw that little empty glass at the brunette bitch from hell. I wanted to jump over that bar and completely kick herass.
And that is not likeme!
Not at all. So I made a snap decision to have sex with Blaine Vanderbilt. I figure such a rash reaction to a woman coming on to him means there’s just way too much sexual tension between us and the best way to get that over with is, quite obviously, to havesex.
With this out of the way, I can go on and be more normal. He might be around the hospital the whole holiday period and I can’t be getting insanely jealous when women talk to him. It’s notprofessional!
So, in the name of staying professional, I am about to walk out of this very nice bathroom and into Blaine Vanderbilt’s master bedroom, where he’s waiting for me on his large, king-sizebed.
My heart is racing and I take one last look in the mirror to see if this is really something I want to do. I find my eyes shining back at me and a grin that won’t goaway.
Yeah, it’s something I want todo!
Need to do, really. It’s been a month or so since I’ve had sex. It was with Paul and it was not spectacular—something he said was my doing. It seems I’m bossy in bed. Or so he said,anyway.
I was just trying to get him to do things that were pleasing to me. I don’t think of that as bossy so much as necessary, at least where he wasconcerned.
Stepping back from the vanity with globe lights all across the top of the mirror, I shake my hair out a little so it’ll look a bit wild. I want tonight to be over-the-tophot.
I need it tobe!
Blaine is a one-shot deal. I’ll take all I can from this because I can’t allow myself any more than that. He is the enemy of my family, and I just know he’ll go back to his ways once his mourning over his father’s deathpasses.
I take one shot of mouthwash to make sure my breath is minty fresh, then I spit it out, rinse the sink,and…
“Hey, you okay in there?” I hear Blaine callout.
My body has frozen for some reason. I can’t seem to talk or move. Then a knock comes at the door and I feel as if I might pass out. “I’m fine,” I manage tosay.
“You want to talk?” he asksme.
I just about melt with his words. He’d talk to me instead of screwing me—awww!
Taking a step toward the door, I open it and find him standing there in a pair of pajama bottoms and nothing else. They’re black with gray fleur-de-lis all over them. “Nice jammies,” I say as I look at them instead of his chiseled upperbody.
Out of the corner of my eye, I can see some massive hills and valleys, and I’m afraid to look at it all head-on. He is very impressive in the muscledepartment.
One of his fingers hooks my bra strap. “Nice bra and panty set. But I think I’ve told you something about your bra being sexy before. Are you feelingnervous?”
“Me?” I ask with a really highvoice.
