around her waist as she struggled free of his embrace and scrambled away from him, moving as far from him as she could in the small confines of the tub. The spa water, which had seemed so relaxing, was now churning and splashing up between them.
    “Oh, shit. Umm, yes, I am on the pill… I didn’t realise…”
    “I’m so sorry, princess. I really have never forgotten a condom before. It was very careless, but you’re so goddamn hot I wasn’t thinking straight. I know that’s no excuse, and I want you to know that if anything might happen…”
    Rook was desperately trying to put into words that he felt a connection to Cassandra and wanted to see her again, but before he could make his thoughts clear, she interrupted.
    “Look, we made a mistake—both of us—but I’m sure it will be fine.” Cassie had her hands over her breasts, obscuring them from his view, and Rook thought that his princess’ voice sounded a bit shaky.
    It didn’t surprise him that she would be worried—truth was, he was worried as well. But not as worried over the lack of protection as he was about her attempts to hide her body from him, or the way she was clearly distancing herself. Rook wanted Cassandra back in his arms so he could reassure her that it would all be okay.
    “I’m sure everything will be fine, princess. I really mean it when I say I want to see you again. I don’t know anything about you, not even your last name—which is totally wrong, and I’m sorry about that too. Move back over here with me and let me put my arms around you while we talk for a while. Get to know each other, maybe sort out where and when I can take you out for dinner.”
    God, he sounded like he was begging, but for a reason he couldn’t explain there was something about this woman—apart from the mind-blowing sex they had just shared—that intrigued him. Made him want to see her again, which was totally out of character for him. Usually, he just wanted to get away from the willing groupie or one-night stand as soon as he could.
    “Look, I don’t think that’s such a good idea. I’m sorry, Rook, but I really need to get out of here, go home. Do you have a towel I can use to get dried off?”

Chapter Five
     
     
     
    Pippa had been revelling in the knowledge of how mind-blowing the sex with her fantasy man had been, so it had taken her a few moments for the realisation to sink in that Rook had been speaking to her. The fact that he’d called her Cassandra had brought her crashing back to reality quickly. It had reminded her of her deception. She had put both of their careers in jeopardy—well, only his, really. Hers had hardly begun. And he was being so sweet. So caring, not the way she had expected him to be, given that she had so eagerly spread her legs for him, like some kind of slut. Her fantasy was starting to feel a little tarnished.
    She had to go now. She was just about to fall apart and tell him the truth. And that couldn’t happen. Pippa had tricked Rook into breaking one of the Jets’ golden rules— no fraternisation between staff . She had lied to him about who she really was and their past. She had to get away now, as much as that broke her heart. At least she had some breathtaking memories, ones that would keep her warm at night. No one could take those away from her.
    Trying to act cool and collected, Pippa rose from the spa and grabbed the towel off the rack Rook had pointed to. She wrapped it around her naked body. “Hey, Rook? Thanks. I’m sure there is nothing to worry about, it’s been great. You’ve been great, but I do need to get home. While I get dressed, can you call me a cab?” 
    “Bloody hell, what’s going on?” When Rook stood up, Pippa had to tamp down her desire to take one last look at his amazingly sexy form. He was raking his fingers through his hair and he sounded agitated. “I don’t want to put you in a cab. I want to drive you home. I promised your friend I would look after you.”
    “Look,
