introductory
speech had been well received, and the software was bug-free so the demo was
easy. He'd have to ring the VP of Development later to congratulate him and
offer bonuses to his programmers.
    Nick had never felt so relieved in all his life. He'd
done speeches before, he'd taken over large corporations, and small ones, and
he'd rubbed shoulders with elite businessmen around the world. But he'd never
given a demonstration of software in his life. It wasn't that hard, if you knew
what you were doing and had a great program.
    Maybe he could do the next one in March in the U.S. If
he did, there would be nothing for his VP of Marketing to do. Which meant he
could fire him. Good, because Vane had crossed the line this time.
    Nick had put up with a hell of a lot from Vane. Coming
back to the office drunk after a lunch meeting, groping the female staff,
turning up late to work every day because he'd been out all night partying. For
a forty-year-old that was a hell of a lot of partying.
    Nick was tired of it. Usually he wouldn't allow anyone
in his employ to treat their work and colleagues with such disrespect, but Vane
was good and came with a wealth of experience. But Nick couldn't put up with
his behavior anymore. Enough was enough. Skipping out just before a major
seminar where he was supposed to give demonstrations to potential clients was
more than he could put up with.
    Nick strolled up King Street toward Collins Street and
his hotel, laptop case slung over his shoulder, suit jacket over his arm. He'd
taken it off and rolled up his shirt sleeves when he left the air conditioned
Crown Complex where the seminar was being held. He'd been inside all day and
the heat hit him like a force field.
    He blew out a breath and kept walking, the heat
prickling his skin, engulfing him like a blanket. It was already five o'clock
but the sun still burned fiercely.
    A typical hot summer's day. The sort of day he'd have
spent down at the beach in his youth, catching some waves, lying in the sun
with a gorgeous girl next to him. Not anymore. He couldn't remember the last
time he'd gone to the beach. In fact, he couldn't remember the last time he'd
felt this hot. Usually he drove everywhere in his air conditioned BMW, or sat
in his air conditioned office or North Shore house.
    It was actually kind of liberating — sweating,
feeling the sun on his bare arms, wanting to drink a beer, wanting to feel a
soft woman in his arms...
    Nick swallowed. He hadn't thought of Abbey all day,
thank God, but now her image was returning to haunt him thick and fast. He
wanted nothing more right now than to lie with her, naked, surrounded by sand
and the crashing waves. He would take her, slide over her hot body, enter her
slowly, tease her a little before plunging deeply until she called his name...
    He cleared his throat and moved his jacket in front of
him, covering his painful erection. He glanced around but everyone was bustling
home after a day at the office, not taking any notice of him. He drew in a deep
breath and blew it out again.
    He forced himself to slow down. She wasn't coming
back, and even if she did, he would send her packing this time. He, Nick
Delaware, investor and multi-millionaire, didn't go in for that sort of thing. And
not with that sort of woman.
    No, Nick would have to settle for a cool shower, a
cold beer and an air conditioned bar. He had more demonstrations to prepare for
tomorrow and he wanted to brush up on the potential clients he'd scheduled into
the day.
    As soon as he got back into work mode the better, so
he could stop thinking about Abbey.
    "Going somewhere, Big Boy?"
    The familiar voice jolted him from his thoughts. His
head, and another part of his anatomy, jerked up. "Abbey?"
    He stared back at the woman who appeared in front of
him, suddenly not sure what he should say to her.
    What do you say to a hooker after an incredible
night of passion?

CHAPTER 3
    Nick cleared his throat. "It is Abbey
isn't it?"
    Abbey wore
