HUNDERBALL
…Evil intent in his gaze, he starts inching toward me, sliding
around the inner circumference of the circular sunken tub—a
manmade fishpond, actually, but we relocated the fish, installed
faucets and drains, and use it for bathing. Very chic. Beautiful blue
marble with gold trim. The sumptuous centerpiece of an
Arabian
Nights
style garden in the courtyard of Hunter’s billion-dollar “beach
bungalow” on the Massachusetts coast.
A crystalline geodesic dome protects the garden from the New
England weather. Feathery snowflakes fall outside, painting the world
white, but we’re warm and toasty in here—too warm, I’m afraid—
surrounded by fragrant blossoms and green fronds. Exotic splendor,
lavish and lascivious. Sultry elegance, rich with the promise of fleshy
delights.
“Thanks, I try,” Hunter says, a smug tilt to his lips.
My eyes narrow. “I was thinking of the courtyard, damn it.”
“Whatever.” The grin waxes wicked. “Wanna play Ottoman
Empire? I’ll be the sultan and you can be my harem.”
Hmm, I do have a great belly-dancer costume…
He reaches for me, and I shimmy to the side.
Uh-uh… No touching! I refuse to succumb to his lethal seductive
force until I gain a few concessions. Mind you, refusing sex—
especially Hunter’s brand—isn’t something I’m famous for, but the
headache helps. If I focus on that, maybe I can forget the other ache
lower down.
Neck deep in hot water—in more ways than one—I scoot my
endangered ass to the right as Hunter advances from the left.
“Keep it up,” he taunts. “I love a challenge…”
