It wasn't easy but he managed to keep his hands off her through most of the meal. But the problem was that Mercedes Alcolar was temptation personified. Her smile, her laugh, the sensual movements of her body, the waft of her perfume on the air, all whispered enticement to his hungry senses. The way she ate, her enjoyment of the food his housekeeper had provided was pure seduction in itself. He had found himself leaning forward more and more, taking every opportunity to refill her glass, offer her a taste of something particularly good, once even wiping a speck of rich creamy sauce from the spot where it lay along the soft, luscious curve of her lip.
And Mercedes moved closer and closer. Always on some pretext or other — so that he could reach her glass better - to move away from the spot where some water had spilled . . . But she had ended up sitting next to him - very very close instead of opposite him.
And then he was unable to hold back any longer. Giving in to the primitive urgings that had been pulsing in his blood ever since she had opened the door to him, he leaned forward and pressed a long, lingering kiss on the tempting red mouth that still glistened with the shine left by the coating of sauce.
She'd blinked, just once, closing her chocolate coloured eyes for a moment before opening them again and looking straight into his.
'What was that for?' she asked, her low musical voice suddenly unexpectedly husky and uneven. . . .
'Did it have to be for anything?' Jake answered her. 'I wanted to do it. Why? Didn't you like it?'
She actually pretended to consider for a moment, still holding his gaze locked with hers, and she knew that he saw the light that gleamed in the darkness of her eyes — a gleam that spoke of sexual provocation, of deliberate teasing,
Slowly, sensuously, she slid out the pink tip of her tongue and slicked it over her moist lips, absorbing the taste of his kiss, and enjoying it all over again.
'Oh yes, I liked it,' she murmured. 'It was — nice. But somehow I was hoping for something rather more than nice.'
