hiding. “I really don’t have a dress.”
    “I’ll have one delivered.”
    Melanie pulled back. “No. I’ll have time to find something. You don’t know my taste.”
    He ran his hand down her back, settling on her bare ass. “But I know mine. Tomorrow you dress for my pleasure.”
    “That is so wrong.” Melanie shivered as he lowered his head and kissed the curve of her shoulder. “And so hot.”
    In all her life, sh e’d never felt more beautiful or wanted.
    Having an end date to this may be a good thing.
    I could get lost in this feeling.
    That afternoon Charles leaned back in the chair at his desk and stared up at the ceiling of his office. Four nights will never be enough.
    Not with Melanie.
    Just the thought of her had his cock swelling with anticipation. And h e’d only been away from her a couple of hours. He closed his eyes and tortured himself with how sh e’d looked beside him in the shower that morning. He groaned aloud as he remembered how deeply sh e’d taken him into her mouth and then the pleasure of releasing his load on those amazing tits of hers.
    Sex should have taken the edge off his need for her, but it had done the opposite. He wanted her more now than before. Although h e’d managed to talk his way through a couple of conference calls so far that day, his thoughts kept returning to Melanie.
    He walked over to the window and unhappily stared at the skyline.
    There was a knock on the door behind him. He turned, realized his state of arousal, and returned to sit behind his desk before answering, “Enter.”
    June came in with her tablet. “I contacted Irene McKinney and she’s assembling a team.”
    Charles rubbed his forehead with one hand. “Who?”
    “The personal stylist I told you I knew? She’s on her way over to the Best Western to meet with your friend.”
    “Good.” Melanie hadn’t looked sure of herself last night when h e’d invited her to come out with him. He didn’t like to see her that way. He loved the cocky smile sh e’d had on her face after hog-tying the purse snatcher. That’s how he always wanted her to look—confident and thoroughly pleased with herself. “What do you mean team ?”
    The woman’s eyes widened apprehensively. “Her dress is being delivered within an hour, but you said sh e’d probably like her hair done. I asked Irene if she does packages and she said she does everything.”
    Charles frowned again. “What’s everything?”
    June chewed her lip. “I should have asked. I’m not used to doing anything personal for you, sir. I didn’t know if you wanted me to know. I agreed to the whole package. I can call her back and tell her no if it’s not what you want.”
    “No, it’ll be fine,” Charles said dismissively. “Thank you, June.”
    After his secretary left, Charles smiled wryly and shook his head.
    The whole package?
    I wonder what Melanie will think of that.

Chapter Eight
    “ What are you, a sadist? No.” Clutching a thick terrycloth bathrobe around her, Melanie did something completely uncharacteristic of her—she retreated a step. One of the large curlers bounced against her temple as she did. “Absolutely not.”
    “Let me just see it,” the petite woman in a white cosmetologist’s coat who had introduced herself as Irene said as she advanced.
    Melanie clutched the robe tighter. “It’s time for you to leave.”
    Shaking her head, the petite woman said, “My reputation depends on the quality of the work. Aren’t you happy with your eyebrows?”
    Melanie instinctively raised a hand to one perfectly shaped arch. “Yes.”
    “Then trust me.”
    “I am not showing my hoochie-coochie to everyone.”
    Irene looked around impatiently and clapped. “Go. Everyone take a thirty-minute lunch break. But do not come back without my grande, quad, nonfat, one-pump, no-whip mocha.” She turned to Melanie. “Do you want anything?”
    Feeling like she was caught in a strange dream she couldn’t wake herself from, Melanie
