would speak on the phone several times a week. Angela always offered a calm and sane sounding board for Dinah's business ideas, and tonight Dinah needed to absorb some of Angela's calmness for the evening ahead!

Chapter 5
    Jared arrived promptly at 7.30 p.m. Dinah expected no less, knowing that with a brilliant reputation in business he was sure to be on time. The man did not negotiate multimillion dollar property deals if he wasn't organised.
    He looked absolutely gorgeous in a dark casual shirt and slim fitting pants. Angela opened the door as Mia and Katie tumbled about her feet, eager to see the man who was taking their one and only favorite Aunt out. They had spent a good part of the afternoon dressing Dinah and they wanted to see how her prince would be dressed. When they saw him they immediately shrank back into their mother's skirts, suddenly shy in the face of this impossibly tall and good-looking stranger.
    At that moment Dinah appeared at the top of the stairs and they all turned as one to look up at her.
    Dinah was wearing a cream wrap dress, cut just below her knees. The silky fabric draped softly about her body and the skirt flared out from her hips to accentuate her small waist while the V of the neckline revealed the swell of her breast. She had matched it with sling-back heels to achieve a classic chic look. Her makeup was minimal, but Angela had helped her skillfully apply it and had finished it off with a sweet fruity lip-gloss that gave her lips a full kissable look. The whole process had taken over an hour, but Mia and Katie had enjoyed every moment of it and Dinah had not wanted to deny them the pleasure of dressing their favorite Aunt.
    She felt ready and confident, but the moment she saw Jared standing at the foot of the stairs looking up at her she felt again those same heady butterflies in her stomach that she had felt on first meeting him. Her throat suddenly felt tense and she had to consciously relax and breathe. He had an instant effect on her and not for the first time she wondered what she was doing. He was so good looking Dinah's eyes quickly scanned his broad shoulders underneath the taut fabric of his dark shirt and she realised with a small start that she was conjuring up a picture of her hands running across his smooth chest and arms, down his rib cage and over his stomach muscles…. She really needed to keep her mind on him with his clothes on or she would quickly lose the ability to have a coherent conversation with him. The last thing she wanted was for Jared Knight, multimillionaire property developer, to think she was an airhead!
    Dinah put her chin up and walked down the stairs. Proud of the efforts of her beautiful nieces and her adored sister she projected an air of grace and confidence. She had learned that the best way to be confident was to act confident.
    It was the older of the two little girls, Mia, who broke the spell and with a loud voice declared that her Aunty Dinah was The Most Beautiful Princess in the world, and with all the tact of a three year old demanded that Jared agreed with her.
    It seemed that Mia had quickly overcome her initial shyness.
    With another of his slow sexy smiles aimed straight at Dinah, Jared agreed. "She certainly is very beautiful. She makes a lovely princess," he said.
    Dinah's stomach turned somersaults, and she felt a sudden weakness in her legs. The look Jared had given her was heavy with smoldering desire and promise, and she felt a corresponding almost involuntary response from her body. The sexual chemistry between them was strong, it was undeniable, and at that moment Dinah did not care where he took her as long as she spent the evening by his side, and preferably with less clothes and more privacy!
    "You've been kissing a princess!" Mia shouted, pointing at Jared. "He's changed from a frog so he's been kissing other princesses Aunty Dinah! You're not supposed to kiss other princesses, you're supposed to kiss my Aunty Dinah!" Mia
