these days. The girl wore an inexpensive dress that might have seemed tacky on someone less confident, but she wore it with unerring style. She had an enviously slim yet shapely feminine figure and her movements were fluid and graceful. If the unthinkable were to happen and William Warfield fell in love there would surely be a collective groan heard throughout the South from the single females in New Orleans and beyond. If this girl was the one to win his heart then he deserved a round of applause. He had his choice of mannequin-like, overly thin, frighteningly silicone enhanced, anxiously giddy debutants, but he had chosen the real thing, a woman who was less ‘Barbie’ and more ‘girl next door’.
    “I love it,” William said when Allie stood in front of a full length mirror and fasted a black paten t-leather belt at her waist. “The dress suits you, soft and yet it still shows that you mean business. Now, shoes, under… garments? Where can we find those, Miss…?”
    “My name is Leona, sir. The Agent Provocateur lingerie shop is next door and the Manolo Blahnik boutique is two doors down on your right. Mr. Warfield, now that I know your young lady friend’s size and style why don’t I hand pick the necessary items and have them sent directly to her suite? That way the pair of you can have time for… more interesting activities.”
    “Agent Provocateur? I don’t think that sounds like the type of undies I would wear… not to work at least,” Allie glanced up at William and the look of mischief that crinkled the corner s of his eyes set her cheeks on fire and her heart racing. “Fine, have them sent up… oh, whatever! Just ask if they have a nightgown without leather straps or chains. Actually, skip the nightgown, naked should work just fine since I have the bed all to myself.” And with that Allie thanked Leona and William for their help and generosity and went to collect the key to her room.
    “Hey, slow down. Allie, wait a minute. Let me get you settled in your room and I can send a car to drive you to work tomorrow,” William said taking long strides to catch up to her as she reached the hotel’s front desk.
    She whirled around and placed a hand o n his chest to stop him from moving any closer. “William, you are the nicest man I think I’ve ever met and also the most infuriating. I’ve tried to decipher your constant mixed messages for two days and it’s made me a little cranky. So, I thank you for the clothes and the flawless hospitality but I don’t need you to send a car for me and don’t waste your time with concern for my welfare. Contrary to your beliefs, I am a grown woman who knows without a shadow of a doubt what I want in life and how to get it. Hot billionaires with hearts of stone are not on my bucket list, so you are off the hook. The kiss we shared was incredible, I’ll just file it under ‘Best first kiss that ever existed in the history of the world’ and move on. Goodnight, I can find my room and my way in your city all by myself, thank you very much Mr. Warfield.”
    And just like that she walked away with William staring after her. He was truly at a loss for words. His eyes narrowed and his brow furrowed at the unfamiliar twinge in his heart as Alaina Darling left him behind.

Chapter Five
     
    Allie slept naked and her restless dreams were filled with images of William Warfield. When she woke at dawn, her bo dy shuddered and then stiffened and her eyelids fluttered open as she squeezed her thighs tightly together to savor the orgasm. Hmmm , she couldn’t remember the last time she’d had a wet dream. She slipped two fingers between her legs and she gasped at how wet and overly sensitive her smoothly waxed pussy was. It had been a long, long time since she had given herself pleasure and the last few times she’d tried she gave up for lack of a suitable fantasy man to focus on.
    The only thing that worked was the handy-dandy little fingertip vibrator she’d ordered on
