capture her lips. She went up like a Roman candle, the flames of desire licking her body making her wind her arms around his neck as he deepened the kiss. She felt his exploring tongue inside her mouth as she nibbled it playfully making him moan. Rising, he laid her back down on the bed her body still covered by the sheet, her hardened nipples visible through the thin material.
Gently he kissed along her cheek, licking the lobe of her ear as she moaned with pleasure, her body moving sensually beneath him. As he lowered his head, his teeth captured the hardness protruding so invitingly, causing her to gasp in wonder at the sudden rush of sensations which flooded her whole body. Her hands moved to touch his chest, searching fingers moving down the hardness of his contoured body as he groaned back.
As Paul moved to lay over her, the sound of the doorbell caused the two of them to stiffen. He gave a long frustrated moan, momentarily dropping his head between her breasts as she slowly regained control of herself. “Who?”, she began, looking into his eyes questioningly as he raised himself. “I invited Jim for dinner”, he replied softly, “I thought you might want to have all the paperwork signed before we left so you didn’t have to come back here again”
Mia looked at him with amazement. “You did that for me?”, she said, suddenly wanting so badly to kiss him again. Looking down on her he chuckled gently, “His timing is bad…Exactly on time” He sighed, pulling himself off the bed to look at her with the fire still so evident in his eyes. “This time I’m not sorry”, he said softly before leaving the room with a strange look in his eyes.
Rising from the bed, Mia moved into the shower, closing her eyes as she thought of his mouth on hers, shuddering as the memory excited her. She had never known a man to raise her to such a level of need and she thought about Paul James. He was a confirmed bachelor… His comments the previous night proved that, and did she want to get involved with a man who was only interested in a casual affair? Mia frowned, knowing that she did not need that kind of complexity in her life.
Dressing quickly, taking a little care to ensure her new hairstyle was sitting correctly, she descended the stairs. As she joined the two men in the study Jim leapt up from where he and Paul sat talking so intently grabbing her in a bear hug. “Thank God you’re OK”, he cried, relief filling his voice. “I was going out of my mind with worry when that Colin carted you away”, his tone growing angry. “Thankfully Paul had contacts, because not one of those damned judges would sign a warrant for you to be left in my care” He flashed a warm smile at Paul, who returned one to the kindly lawyer.
“Mary sends her best…Says to let you know that lots of people are behind you” Mia thanked him before settling down to sign all of the papers she had been unable to the day she had gone to his office. Then the three of them moved to the dining room where Mrs Mac served them up one of her delicious meals. As they ate, Jim filled her in on all that had gone on in the past six years including how Lucas had been granted early release.
“There are a lot of women worried about that” , he said. “As far as we can see he hasn’t changed…he is still the same sick…”, before stopping remembering that Mia was sitting beside him, apologising quickly to her, embarrassed at the thought of upsetting her. “But I hear that right after the court you’re away to California”, he asked more brightly “will you be coming back?” He regarded her sympathetically as she shook her head, discomfort clear in her features. “Maybe that’s for the best” he murmured softly. Paul however, was frowning as he lifted his glass, his expression unfathomable.
It was nearly midnight when Jim left, telling her that he would see her in court the following morning. After
