herself to move. To do something, say something.
    Anything!
    But her tongue was as useless as her legs.
    She remained frozen as he moved around behind her, a soft gasp breaking from her lips when he pushed aside her long curtain of hair, draping it over her left shoulder before bending his mouth to her exposed right ear.
    But it wasn’t his lips that made her shiver. It was the fear of what she was about to allow … and enjoy.
    ‘Don’t,’ she heard herself whisper just as his tongue tip dipped into the shell of her ear.
    ‘Don’t what?’ he whispered a few seconds later.
    ‘Don’t do this to me … ‘
    ‘But you want me to,’ he murmured, and nibbled at her ear lobe. ‘This is what tonight was all about. Not food.’
    ‘No,’ she choked out. ‘Not … entirely.’
    His laugh was low and sexy. ‘Yes. Entirely.’
    She stiffened when he ran the zipper down past her waist, a shudder following when he stroked the cold glass he was holding down her spine.
    ‘You want this as much as I do,’ he said thickly as he pushed the sides of her dress off her shoulders.
    It pooled around her feet in a silky pink puddle, leaving her wearing nothing but her pink high heels.
    This wasn’t the first time she’d left off her underwear. But it was the first time she’d felt ashamed of having done so.
    I’m exactly what Aunt Kate said I am, Amber accepted despairingly as she stood there, naked, before her wealthy lover’s gaze. Not a proper girlfriend or a much loved partner, but a mistress, a kept woman. Kept for nothing but her master’s sexual pleasure.
    Her stomach contracted when he moved around to look at her from the front, her feelings of shame at war with those other wickedly powerful emotions he could so easily evoke. Not just desire but need—the need to be caressed, and kissed, and filled.
    She closed her eyes, blotting out the way his glittering blue eyes were gobbling her up. Perversely, her not being able to see him only increased her awareness of her own appalling excitement. Every muscle in her bodytensed up, waiting for his touch. Yearning for it.
Dying
for it.
    His breath on the nape of her neck told her that he’d moved behind her again. He must have put his drink down too, both his hands free to slide up and down her arms, which immediately broke into goose bumps.
    ‘Do you have any idea what
you
do to me?’ he murmured as he pressed himself against her naked back, his mouth hovering just above her right ear.
    ‘No,’ came her shaky reply. She only knew what he did to her, and what he’d done. Reduced to this … this pitiful state where shame and pride were no match for the pleasure of his lovemaking.
    Though this wasn’t lovemaking tonight. This was just sex—raw, unadulterated sex.
    ‘If I were a prince in the Middle Ages,’ he whispered as he took her hands and lifted them high above her head, ‘I would keep you … just like this … locked in a dungeon … with nothing to do but wait for me to come to you.’
    She shuddered at the image he’d created.
    Why it excited her so much she could not fathom. She should have been repulsed. Instead, she was shaking with excitement.
    ‘Would you like that?’ he demanded to know, his breathing growing heavier as he pressed himself even harder against her bare buttocks.
    ‘Yes,’ she choked out.
    His naked groan betrayed a level of need possibly even greater than her own.
    ‘What on earth am I going to do with you?’ he growled.
    Amber moaned, having reached that point where pride and shame had become totally irrelevant. Sheneeded Warwick inside her, right then and there, regardless of the fact that she was standing in the middle of a well-lit, glass-walled living room, less than a hundred metres away from where boats full of tourists were enjoying evening dinner cruises on Sydney Harbour.
    ‘Please,’ she heard herself practically beg as she moved her legs wantonly apart.
    Warwick heard the wild desperation in her voice, felt the
