you had a late night. Mr. Jamison said you were not to be disturbed.”
Heat rushed to Lila’s cheeks at the insinuation. Studying the housekeeper’s face, she saw nothing malicious in Mrs. Coates’s face. The statement was probably innocent, but it again reminded her of why she was here. No longer could she look Mrs. Coates in the eyes. Lila bowed her head, folding her hands in her lap. “That was thoughtful of him.”
“Let me know if you need anything.”
“Wait!”
The other woman halted mid-step. “Yes, Miss Lila.”
“Umm, is Mr. Jamison expecting me for lunch?”
The housekeeper frowned. “I don’t think so. He usually stays in his office most of the day to work. He should be done by dinnertime.”
“Oh.” Then what the hell was she supposed to do all day? She wasn’t used to sitting around idly. Would she be forced to stay in her room all day, bored out of her skull, 52

waiting for him to be ready for her again? She trembled at the thought, but not from revulsion or cold. More from how she’d reacted to him the night before. Lila shook her head to rid herself of the carnal images of the night before from her mind.
“Is that all for now, Miss Lila?” Mrs. Coates broke into her thoughts.
“Umm, what am I supposed to do for the remainder of the day? Maybe I can help you around the house?”
Mrs. Coates’s chin rose and her lips tightened briefly. “That won’t be necessary.
There’s a library in the west wing if you like to read and the basement has been converted to a game room. The in-house theater is on the first floor and the weather is nice enough to take a swim if you’re so inclined. I didn’t get a chance to show you the place properly yesterday, but I’ll be happy to do so today.”
“Actually if you don’t mind, I’d like to explore the place on my own…that is if you don’t mind?”
“That should be fine, but please stay away from Mr. Jamison’s office. He doesn’t like to be disturbed while he’s working.”
“Which one is his office?”
“It’s two doors down from the kitchen.”
“Okay. Thank you.”
The housekeeper gave her attention to the Great Dane who looked as though he was contemplating jumping on the bed again.
Lila shot him a look. Not a chance buddy .
“Come on Shadow.” When Mrs. Coates closed the door behind her, Lila slid out of bed pulling a sheet off with her and wrapping it around her body. She wasn’t used to sleeping in the nude. It suddenly dawned on her that she was back in her room. Hunter must have brought her here sometime during the night. As much as she tried to block last night from her mind, she couldn’t.
All her intentions to not respond to his ardent caresses had been futile. He’d possessed her with the skills of a man who knew exactly how to please a woman. Images www.samhainpublishing.com 53

of his hands running along her body, tongue circling her skin, and cock stuffing her so fully, infiltrated her mind. Her pussy throbbed and nipples pebbled against the silk sheets.
No! She mustn’t let that man get the better of her. It was only physical. Once the three months were over, she would walk away without a backward glance. Or could she?
Strangely enough, she was experiencing something more than physical pleasure. If she wasn’t, Lila might have been able to deal with these feelings, but no, it was something more—something she couldn’t quite put her finger on.
He puzzled her. She had expected him to be rough with no regard for her pleasure, but he’d taken his time to make sure she was thoroughly sated, giving her not one, but three orgasms. No one had set her insides on fire like he had, yet there was no one she had more reason to hate than him. This ordeal was going to be much harder to get through than she’d originally thought.
