didn’t want her partner thinking she was going moony eye d over their latest client. Their most important client, since it would launch them into the big time. Or at least make the company more visible. Hopefully not her more visible. She didn’t need that. She pushed away from the door. This was a pickle. There was an obvious attraction there. He’d made it clear to her that was interested, even though she’d brushed him off repeatedly. Well, ignored him, really. He didn’t get the hint. He was a spoiled rock star. Why was she attracted to him? Very out of character. Maybe she needed a good session with her vibrator. That was it. Sex or an orgasm. She’d been lying to herself, but touching him made her realize, she was attracted to him. It was just physical and from now on she would not be around him. She would have no need. All of their business could be conducted via phone and e-mail. No need to see him in person. She felt so much better. Now to bed for a little bit. She’d call Kelly when she woke up to see if she could get a ride to her car or work Tamra snuggled down into bed and fell asleep quickly. She woke to Colin standing over her. Naked. How did he get in? Of course that was her first thought. A man who many would pay to be in his bed was standing over her, clearly ready for action and all she thought about was the violation of her sanctity. “I want you, Tamra.” “What?” Did she let him in? Give him a key? None of this made sense. He slid under the covers as if she’d invite him. Part of her wanted him to kiss her. Wanted him to touch her. He did. He touched her in all the right places. She knew it was wrong. She didn’t want him to stop. Her body craved him, responded to him as if he knew were all of her buttons were. “You’re a client.” “I don’t care. I want you Tamra.” His fingers did amazing things to her body. Like he was playing an instrument, he was playing her body. Making magic happen until she felt herself falling over that orgasm cliff. Then she woke up. Her sheets were sweaty and she was alone. “That was one heck of a dream.” *** Kelly answered Tamra’s call the next morning. “You should have called me. I would have come and gotten you.” “It’s fine. Colin drove me home.” “That means he was alone on the drive home.” Shit. “I hadn’t thought of that. I just wanted to be home. Rookie mistake.” “Look, I’ll call him. He’s probably fine. I’ll come get you. First I have to get Sophie up and off to school.” “I’m not in a hurry but call him. Please.” “Right now.” She hung up with Tamra then called Colin. He answered sounding half asleep. “I woke you, sorry. We just wanted to make sure you got home okay last night.” “I did. I’m fine. No one followed me. The reporters were gone by the time I got back.” “Reporters?” “Tamra didn’t mention them? Doesn’t matter. They were gone. They never caught up with me.” “Good. We won’t let you off the property again, unescorted. Tamra sent me a copy of the latest letter. She’s concerned and I am too.” “Then I guess I need someone with me all the time?” “Yes. We’ll have someone there today.” “I want Tamra.” “What?” “If I have some big burly guy as my guard the stalker will know he’s won. If I have Tamra by me, like she’s on my staff or possibly a girlfriend then the stalker won’t know.” “Are you sure that’s a good idea? Tamra’s good at defense but a big guy would be better.” “No, I want Tamra and I’m the customer right?” “Technically your agent is paying the bills but I’ll talk to Tamra about this.” “Good. I’ll feel so much better with her here. I’ll make up the room next to mine so she’s close.” Kelly hung up with him but she didn’t think that Tamra would be willing to do this. She would have to do some serious tap dancing. Kelly’s daughter entered her room. “Hey,
