Anna snorted. “Stay away from him, Anna.” She leapt out of bed. “Don’t tell me how to do my job, Guy, and I won’t tell you how to do yours.” Eyes blazing, she marched across the room and picked up her clothes. “You don’t control me, Guy. This is a cosy little setup in here. I assume I’ve not been the first to test out this bed,” she exclaimed, pulling her skirt up. Guy hesitated but it was all she needed. “I knew it.” “Anna, it happened once in the two years we were apart. I’ve got nothing to be ashamed of.” Anna was quiet. “Come back to bed,” said Guy huskily. The sight of Anna topless and angry was turning him on big time. He saw her pause and got up. His body ached for her. “You’re insatiable,” she murmured as he wrapped his arm around her and dragged her back towards the bed.
Chapter 14
The Braille Club Undone
The Braille Club, London. Two Years On. Pandora Zone . The bell rings and Siena feels Benedict stiffen as the Patron enters the room. She is aware of movement. Fingers run down her right arm and she shivers as the cuffs are snapped into place, they are joined. His body is tense like a coil as they both listen. She feels him relax and knows instinctively their Patron is a woman. Her jealousy leaps like a tiger from within.
Anna
Anna awoke in Guy’s arms and wondered where she was. The surroundings were unfamiliar to her until her memory kicked in. What a night! She looked at Guy’s sleeping face utterly exposed to her. It was smooth and expressionless. His revelation about Simon Lawrence was a break of confidentiality but she understood why he had warned her. Was it the bad boy in him that attracted her? She would need to be on her guard when it came to Simon Lawrence. Her mobile buzzed. Speak of the devil. The man in question was ringing her. She let her voicemail kick in. She needed her wits about her before she could speak to him. Anna headed for the shower and gazed around. Guy and she were so alike. His office was almost his home. Anna kept a fresh suit and blouse in her office too. She was grateful of that this morning; she would change when she got there. She and Guy had talked at last. During their affair, Anna had never let Guy stay over. She told him Robert sometimes came to the flat. That was partly true, and it made their time together more explosive. Selfishly, she liked to keep Guy hungry. It brought out his dark side, something she relished. She loved to make him lose control. She loved the power and the pain. It was a heady mix. The thrill and danger of seeing Guy in her flat gave the sex an added edge but him sleeping there was never an option. The last thing she needed was her husband to catch her with another man in her bed. Not that it mattered. In the end he’d caught them having sex in the hall. She pushed those humiliating thoughts aside. Before they had been consumed with each other’s bodies and what pleasures they could get in the time they had. They had spoken little about other things. Guy was almost a complete mystery to Anna. Earlier she started by asking him where his flat was. All the time they had been together, she had never been there. She wanted to be in control, to call the shots. The added danger of discovery made her flat and their offices the obvious choices. His flat on the other hand was safe and didn’t hold any appeal. Anna was appalled by how self-centered she’d been. She followed that question with a few others before Guy’s hand slipped down her body and cupped her breasts. His kiss silenced her. She wondered now if he didn’t like her prying into his life. His answers had a vague quality that had her lawyer instincts flaring. Anna understood Guy was private but if they were to move on in their relationship, he must learn to share not only his body, but also his life with her. She slipped out the room fifteen minutes later, worried that she could not leave the club but the receptionist was
