At six-forty-five, I let myself into Holly’s house and follow the sound of a hairdryer drifting from the bedroom.

She stands in front of a silver-framed, floor-to-ceiling mirror wearing another set of stunning lingerie. If I didn’t already know she wasn’t an artist, I’d assume she owned a lingerie shop. This one is red lace with tiny pearls lining the edges.

Leaning against the door frame, I watch as she curls a brush through her hair, scrutinising her reflection in the glass.

She has no idea of her allure, and that’s half the appeal.

Those full, bouncing breasts.

The womanly curve of her hips.

Her legs aren’t long by any means, but they are so perfectly shaped I could stare all fucking day.

I really like you, Holly. And it wasn’t part of my plan.

She didn’t say it back. She didn’t say anything. And it’s eating me alive. Is there a way to extend this thing between us?

How can I be falling for someone who doesn’t even trust me enough to share her last name with me?

Falling?

What the fuck?

I pause, catching my breath, my heart thumping erratically in my ribcage.

The permanent grin on my face anytime she’s near. The stolen glances. The surge of protective adrenaline anytime Max, or any other man, looks at her. The morning snuggles. The trillions of butterflies that have taken up permanent residence in my stomach since I first laid eyes on her.

Shit. It’s less than ideal. But it’s undeniable.

‘Nate.’ Her hand clutches her chest. ‘You scared the shit out of me. Again.’ She glances at the tiny silver watch on her wrist.

She’s scaring the shit out of me too, just for very different reasons.

‘Sorry. Is it weird that I love watching you?’ I step forward and brush my lips against her cheek.

I can’t kiss her mouth. If I do, we’ll never leave this bedroom and, for some reason, I have this mad urge to take her out on a proper date. A woman like Holly shouldn’t be cooped up here every night, even if it’s a fabulous prison.

‘I love watching you too, but most of the time you’re on my TV.’ She motions over her undressed state. ‘Sorry, this is becoming a regular occurrence.’

‘Sweetheart, don’t apologise to me for being half naked. I fucking love it.’ My dick stands to attention in agreement.

Her gaze lingers over my chest before dropping lower. Longing lights up her eyes. ‘I’m not that hungry, you know.’

‘I am. But don’t worry, princess, I always have room for dessert.’

‘Well, I suppose we should get the appetiser over with, then.’ She smirks and sashays across the room to the bed, her ass swinging so seductively I could sink my teeth into it.

Picking out a black dress from an assortment of clothes strewn across the sheets, she pulls it over her head.

I cross the room to help her zip up the back. ‘We’re doing things all wrong. I should be undoing this, not helping you put it on.’

‘Dessert, remember?’ Those hips shimmy in a playful promise.

Fifteen minutes later, we reach the only restaurant in Ballybowen, nestled right at the far end of the pier.
