felt as if her body were slipping out of control. Even a shower now was turning her on and all she could think about was how fast she could get back to him, be with him, make love with him. What had happened to the need for a little space?
Grabbing the towel again in self disgust, she toweled herself dry, then wrapped herself in it, padding barefoot to the bedroom. All of her clothes had been unpacked but she found a pair of jeans, long sleeved tee-shirt and sexy underwear already out for her. She suspected that Dharr had chosen this ensemble since the underwear was red.
Slipping into the clothes, she thought hard about what was going on, what her body needed and what her mind could take. Was she setting herself up for heartache by having this affair with Dharr? And she didn"t even shy away from that word. That"s exactly what she was having. It was a mind-blowing affair with a powerful, overwhelming, handsome man of the world. Everything they"d done together, both in and out of bed, had been so much more than she"d anticipated.
Her self-introspection was going to have to wait though. Her stomach growled and Electra acknowledged that she couldn"t put off eating any longer, no matter how much her mind told her she needed space to think things through.
Opening the door to the bedroom, she walked into the great room and eventually found Dharr seated in an overstuffed sofa watching hockey. He smiled when she walked up and within moments, a large tray of food was brought to her. There was fragrant chili with all the fixings and a large pan of corn bread.
“Chili?” she laughed, stunned by the lunch offerings. “I never would have thought you"d like such an American meal.” Her stomach was too demanding to care about anything at the moment but filling it so she leaned forward and filled a bowl, added sour cream and cheese, then leaned back in the sofa, tucking her feet underneath her before tasting the delicious smelling meal. “Oh, this is delicious.”
“I"m glad you like it. It"s one of my favorite meals whenever I go skiing.”
“Have you been out to the slopes yet?” she asked.
“Nope. I"ve been waiting for you.”
That shocked her. “I"m so sorry! You should have gone while I was sleeping.”
“I waited. And the wait was well compensated,” he grinned wickedly. “I don"t feel deprived inany way.”
They ate, talked, skied and made love for the rest of the we ekend. Electra wasn"t surprised when she flew back to London without ever speaking to another soul besides Dharr. Nor did she have any desire to. It was as if their weekends together were special and needed to be packed with only the two of them. And everywhere they went, he would touch her or kiss her, to the point that, midway down one run during a break, he pulled her off to the side so they were hidden by the trees and kissed her till she was senseless. He was ruthless in his passion that weekend, showing her in so many ways how much she had to learn about sex and relationships.
Chapter 8
“Do you like the apartment?” Dharr asked, his hand skimming down Electra"s spine making her wiggle.
“Yes,” she sighed, closing her eyes as her body came awake. “It"s beautiful.” They were back in the Paris apartment a month after their skiing trip. The month had been full of wonder and anticipation as she met Dharr in all sorts of cities. She"d never traveled to so many places in her life, nor had she spent so much money. She"d definitely dented her bank account meeting him in all the exotic places. Not that he would allow her to pay for anything once they arrived. In fact, money was never even mentioned nor seen. Everything seemed to be paid for in advance. Private museum tours, operas, ballets, dinners at exclusive restaurants, touring the countryside, all of it was mysteriously and anonymously arranged as if by magic. It was a little disconcerting when Electra stopped to think about it but, since Dharr rarely allowed her time to think when he was around, she hadn"t considered too many angles of their time together.
“When can you move in?” he asked, his hand slipping around to the front of her, capturing a nipple between his fingers.
Electra laughed . “I don"t like it that much,” she said and squirmed around so she was facing him. “Why would I move in
