held for those brief, searing seconds.
    In that one,
long, lasing look at her, she had a glimpse of the hot, blinding flash of lust
that reminded her exactly why she was here – and left her in no more
doubt as to whether he’d cooled off interest. Now she knew that was far, far
from the truth. The spell was broken when he turned once more to Carly, who had
been busy reading out a paragraph from the papers in her hand and had been
blissfully unaware of the very heated exchange that had just been made between
Jude and Miranda. He was back to being business-like Jude, his tone crisp as he
pointed out a line to Carly on the document.
    It took a while
for Miranda to remember that she’d stopped breathing, as she forced air back
into her lungs, willing her heart to beat less thunderously as she grabbed the
glass of champagne at her elbow and took a long, grateful gulp.
    How the week
ahead was going to go, had now been officially verified, Miranda realized. And
it was going to be one hell of a long, stomach-squelching ride...
     
    ****
    Keeping his
hands off her had been a proper task in the past few hours. What with Carly’s
constant, chaperoning presence, and then with his own sense of propriety
– slim though it was because he was the least proper person he knew
– it had truly been difficult.
    Having her sat
there across from him, her beautiful features creased slightly with a troubled
expression that made him want to kiss the little frown away...Knowing she was
right there, within reach – and soon to be in his passionate clutches,
had been enough to keep him hard as a plank all through the long trip. Even in
her stern-looking suit, her body was just as gorgeously inviting as ever, her
delightful curves encased lovingly by the outfit’s well-fitted lines. Her legs
were creamy, smooth, and she unconsciously gave him a decidedly enchanting
glimpse of inner thigh whenever she crossed and uncrossed them.
    It was hard
enough keeping his mind on Carly’s words all this while. He wished now that he
had found a way to cancel this trip, or at least postpone it – and make
this all about pleasure. His
and Miranda’s . But no, he had very vital contacts to make in London
that whole week, which had taken almost a year to arrange. And he had been
unable to wait till he got back from London to get his chance with Miranda.
    No, it had been
a now-or-never move, and he’d taken it. And now, he knew that it was only a
matter of hours, give or take – and then the sexy, voluptuous Miranda
would be his. He would focus on work when he needed to, but he’d make sure that
when the time came, he’d make every moment with her count. He only hoped he’d
have the inclination to let her go once their deal came to an end in seven
days...
    ***
    London was a
gorgeous city – and any other time, it would have been more than glorious
to be there. They touched down late in the evening, and Miranda felt the sense
of ancient history all around her as they drove from the airport to the hotel,
passing by monument after monument. The city was well lit, beautiful, and
filled with a kaleidoscope of people that seemed to swarm around in droves.
Miranda was enchanted by the diversity and culture she saw, and wished that she was here on some other mission, and not just as a
billionaire’s one-week plaything.
    And what a
billionaire, she thought; glancing across at him as they sat in the spacious limousine
that had picked them up once they’d arrived. Every time she stole a look at
him, she marvelled at the fact that he would be attracted to someone like her.
She’d read up recently about his last girlfriend, one that everyone had
believed he would propose to. In fact, the model, a little over twenty three,
had just a week before the split, boasted that she’d got wind of Jude checking
out rings at some mega-expensive jewellers. Obviously, nothing had come of
that. But Miranda had seen at least, the kind of woman he must be used to being
with.
