stomach, she returned to the bedroom.
    Colin glanced up, saw her and froze. The expression on his face made her heart stop. Pure, naked lust . In all the time she’d known him, she had never seen him look at a woman the way he was looking at her now.
    Excitement slammed into her; then her heart thudded. Between her legs, full-blown heat appeared and, embarrassingly, she began to moisten.
    It all happened within a matter of seconds; then his naked desire disappeared as if it had never been. But her body still felt its impact, and she was left to try to cope.
    “Turn around,” he said hoarsely.
    Without argument, she did. It was as if he was a puppet master, pulling her strings, and she had no other recourse but to let him control her movements,because she still couldn’t manage to get command of her feelings.
    “Beautiful.” The word came out on a breath.
    “Did the…” She chewed on her bottom lip for longer than she would ordinarily have allowed herself. Then she straightened. “Did the dress come with any undergarments?”
    “No.” Slowly, methodically, his gaze touched her from the top of her head to the tip of her toes. “You need to take off the bra you have on. It shows both in the front and the back.”
    “I know, and I’m sure I have another bra I can wear with it.”
    “And now that I think about it, those panties need to go, too. Their line shows through the material.”
    “I’ll find replacements.” She tossed the small pink purse onto the bed, managing to land it near the navy one she’d carried to work today, then hurried into her closet.
    When Colin walked into the brightly lit closet, she was sorting through a large, shallow drawer filled with bras.
    “That dress was never meant for a bra. Besides, you don’t need to wear one. You have beautiful breasts.”
    Her face flushed hot. Her head snapped around. “How do you—” Last night . “Never mind. I’ll find something. Just get out.”
    “Okay, but remember—you can’t wear anything that will show or ruin the line of the dress.”
    “How very style-conscious of you.”
    “That’s what I’m here for.”
    “Get out, Colin.”
    He tilted his head and looked at her. “Why is your jaw tensed?”
    She gave a hollow laugh. “You’re kidding, right?” She straightened. “It’s this…this dress. It may be designed to attract a man, but I might as well be wearing nothing. And if I don’t wear a bra or panties, I really will be wearing nothing.”
    “And wearing them would make you feel better?”
    “Yes.”
    Ruefully, he shook his head. “We’ve got much more work to do than I originally thought.”
    “If you think for one minute that I’ll ever go out of this house without wearing—”
    He held up his hand. “Never mind. We’ll get to that part later.”
    “Later?” She almost sputtered.
    His gaze lowered and his voice thickened. “As for now, panties with a different line are okay, but don’t put on a bra. In fact…” He reached behind her, unsnapped the bra, and before she knew what was happening, he had somehow managed to slide the bra straps down her arms, then with one last tug at the bra’s front, it was off and tossed over his shoulder. “There,” he murmured, his voice thick and filled with satisfaction. “The bodice looks amazing, clinging to your breasts the way it does.”
    She fell weakly against the drawer, closing it. “That’s quite a party trick. No wonder you’re such a hit with women.”
    He stretched a hand toward her, reaching as close to her as he could without actually touching her, and when he spoke, his hand moved around her breasts, demonstrating his words. “Your breasts are perfect—high…firm…just large enough…”
    Heat filled her lungs. She felt as if she was suffocating. “Will you please just get the hell out of here?”
    He dropped his hand to his side. “Keep your eye on the prize, honey. This is only the first lesson. I know you’re finding it hard, but when you
