the massive buildings , traffic and shoreline in the distance and for a moment she felt as if she was in the heavens above looking down at the earth below.
    Reluctantly, she tore herself from her momentary reprieve and followed Sebastian back to the living room.
    “I have to go back to the office”, he said suddenly, “ you can order room service or if you want to go out, call me and I’ll send James”.
    “Ok”, she said, suddenly nervous.
    “And there is one other place we didn’t visit”, he said, his brown eyes alight with mischief and something else.
    “Where?” she asked, hesitantly.
    “My bedroom”, he said silkily.
    “I don’t think such a tour will be necessary”, she said breathlessly , her heart racing.
    “ I can be a very patient man…” he said and strode towards the door and left.
    She fought to calm her racing heart as she retraced her steps to the patio and sat in one of the sofas. What if Sebastian was a psychopath and had lured her to his apartment to rape and murder her and then dump her body in a dark alley somewhere? She shivered at the thought? No, she decided; he would not take such a risk. For all he knew, she had a family somewhere who knew exactly where she was at this very moment.
    Omitting the sordid details; she had taken the liberty of giving Meredith, her kindly neighbor, Sebastian’s address along with her cell phone number; informing her that she would be away for a while. She shook aside her dismal thoughts; it was too late to consider such things. She stiffened her spine; she had made a decision and she would stick to it.
    She rose reluctantly from her relaxing position on the sofa and went to retrieve her purse; it was time for her daily visit with Joshua. Disregarding Sebastian’s instructions to inform him if she was leaving the apartment; she hailed a taxi t hat took her directly to the hospital. Joshua was elated to see her, as always, commenting on how beautiful she looked and enquiring if she had a date and laughing gaily when she told him that he was all the man she needed in her life at the moment.
    She stopped at a diner, a short distance from the hospital and bought a hamburger, fries and soda after which she hurried back to the apartment, hoping that Sebastian had not returned in her absence. She sighed in relief as she entered the penthouse and realized that it was empty.
    It had been an exhausting day, thus she went straight to the bedroom assigned to her and begun unpacking. She open ed the large walk-in closet and exclaimed in shock; the closet was stacked with clothing, shoes, purses and jewelry of every color and design imaginable; a few of the pieces she remembered from her earlier fitting.
    She hadn’t expected the clothes to arrive for another day or two. Whatever would she do with so much clothing? The closet resembled a mini boutique. She sifted through a few items; blinking to ensure that her eyes weren’t deceiving her as she saw a few of the price tags. A warm glow stained her cheeks as she stroked the soft silk negligees; wondering if Sebastian had seen or even selected the items. Pity he hadn’t been less extravagant in his purchases and donated some of the money to charity, she thought as she went to shower.
    Weary to the bone, she crawled beneath the soft quilt and closed her eyes; sighing in contentment as the soft mattress seemed to mould to her body. Despite her obvious exhaustion; sleep eluded her and she tossed and turned in bed. She wondered if Sebastian would be home soon or rather if he was returning at all for the night.
    Her heart pounded in her chest as she heard footfalls that could only be Sebastian’s, clinki ng on the marble tiled hallway outside her door. She swallowed hard as the footsteps paused at her door, which thank goodness she had bolted, however much help that would be. She released a breath she didn’t even realize she had been holding as the footsteps resumed and drifted away down the hall.
    She had thought
