looking at Eloise he had missed the exotic-looking redhead. “Great beauty abounds.”
Eloise rol ed her eyes. “Look, we did the deed. It was nice—”
“Nice?” Arrow and Mesopia said at the same time.
“Yes but we both agreed it was a one-off.”
Arrow could see Eloise was trying very hard to remain unaffected by him. He planned to affect the hel out of her. “I lied. I’m a vampire. We do that.”
“Ooh I like you,” Mesopia murmured in approval.
Arrow was so laid back, sexy and arrogant that Eloise wanted to kiss him and slap him at the same time. It was al so confusing. It was right and wrong and everything in between.
“Come on, what do you have to lose that you haven’t already?” Arrow looked at her significantly. “I want to show you some other stuff I can do.”
“You are so tacky.” Yet he was utterly fascinating and she was completely drawn to him against al logic and wil power.
“Yeah, but you like me, shorty.”
Eloise did and that was the problem. Before meeting him, she had built him into an evil monster who she would be pinned to for life. But reality was quite different and charming, albeit arrogant.
“Go on.” Mesopia pushed her shoulder. “Take the day off and get to know the hubby. Check out his stuff.” She looked the man in question up and down. “I wouldn’t mind taking a peek myself.”
Eloise stamped her foot. “He is not my husband.”
“Cute.” Arrow held out his hand to her. “Scared you won’t be able to control yourself, shorty?”
Yes, that was it exactly. Already she wanted to throw herself against him and damn Caitriona and whatever the consequences.
“I feel it too.” Arrow pul ed her toward him.
“I can ignore it.” Sort of.
“Okay, so let’s spend time together ignoring each other.”
A huge part of her wanted to go wherever he led and Eloise was not a fol ower by nature. “You’re not going to spin me out of here?”
Arrow pul ed her into his arms. “Oh yeah.”

The water splashed over the sides of the big old-fashioned bathtub as they landed in it.
“How the hel did I get naked?” She looked at her breasts covered with foam. Her eyes strayed to the head of Arrow’s penis, pushing up through the scented water.
“One advantage to spinning a woman is stripping her when she is too dazzled to think clearly.” Arrow moved through the water to her.
“You have fast hands.” The bath could have easily fitted four people, yet with a naked Arrow coming at her with a determined look in his eyes, it seemed too smal . Eloise moved back and hit the side. “Where are we?”
“A harem.”
“A what?” Eloise sat up and looked around her in shock. The ornate tiles and beautiful surroundings had almost passed by her. “Someone wil see us.”
“Nah, they’re al off doing their own thing.” Arrow was not the slightest bit perturbed. “Besides I have contacts who do as I bid at a moment’s notice. So?”
“So?” Eloise felt his hands part her legs under the water. “Um look, I think—” And then Arrow kissed her and she had no idea what she was thinking or doing because she found herself natural y gravitating onto his lap. The cock against her stomach was a wake-up cal though. She pushed back from him and licked her lips. God he tasted good . “Wait, wait.”
Arrow’s hands reached to pul her forward. “Why? I need you and you need me.”
“I don’t need anyone let alone you.”
“Liar.”
“Am not.” Arrow just smiled, and before she could speak, he fastened his mouth on one of her nipples and sucked hard. Eloise choked back the shriek that came to her lips. She was sure she was not the first one to have sex in this tub, but Eloise had no intention of attracting onlookers. She wanted to push him away yet also hold him there. It was al so confusing. His hands between her legs, massaging her clit in a slow, lazy circle did not make trying to decide what she should do any easier, nor did his cock
