I slump back on the couch and he says gruffly, “Your guest.”

“What about her?”

“She doesn’t follow instruction.”

“What do you mean?”

I glance up and the amused smirk on his face causes me to snap, “What’s she done?”

He holds out his phone and I see a series of recordings from the cameras inside the house. Despite the fact it’s been hardly any time since we left her, she’s certainly been busy.

She appears to be making the most of her stay and wasted no time in testing out the pool.

“What the fuck?”

I snatch the phone from his hands and stare in disbelief at the naked body of the woman who hasn’t left my thoughts since I met her.

“Fuck!” I am so angry and watch as she executes a perfect dive into the huge indoor pool and surfaces halfway down, the water streaming from her face, the joy evident in her expression.

I can’t look away as I watch her turn on her back and expertly execute the backstroke, and I hate that I can’t tear my eyes away from her perfect breasts that rest just under the rippling water. I should hand the phone back and demand the footage be erased, but I can’t take my eyes off her. She could be the most beautiful mermaid as she glides through the water, pure exhilaration on her face as she allows the cool water to hold her as she enjoys her solitude.

“Who else has seen this?” I say carefully, hating the thought any of my men had a free show.

“Only me.” Luka says and I press the delete on his phone and flick to the next one.

This one shows her dripping water through the house as she returns, not even caring that she is naked as she heads upstairs to the bedroom. I should cut it and delete but I stare with a growing sense of lust as she sways her hips and heads into the bathroom.

I watch like a pervert as she fills the tub with oil and hot steamy water and my gaze lingers as she slides under the water, the ecstasy on her face hitting me straight in the libido.

I hate that Luka has seen this and I don’t know why, so I pocket the phone and glare at him.

“Use your other one. I’ll deal with our guest.”

Luka smirks, causing me to say irritably, “What?”

“Nothing boss.”

“Then get out of here.” I snap and the amusement on his face as he leaves doesn’t help my mood.

As soon as the door closes, I hate that I reach for the phone and stare at Gabrielle’s face as she enjoys the luxury I have provided.

She is so beautiful.

Natural beauty can’t be bought or crafted. It shines through without any adornment and she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Now I’ve seen her naked I’m even more interested and something snaps inside me that I couldn’t change even if I wanted to and I don’t.

Yes, tomorrow may be the gift I didn’t think I wanted because the idea forming in my mind will make for an extremely pleasant evening indeed.

CHAPTER 7

ELLIE

I’m in love with this white heaven. As soon as Luka left, I explored with a growing sense of happiness. So what if a mad assassin is hot on my trail? If this is my prison, I’m not hoping for an early release.

The fact I’m alone is perfect because there will be nobody around to stop me from enjoying every minute of this and it begins in the swimming pool.

I’ve always enjoyed swimming. I even entered galas as a child and my grandmother cheered me on from the stands. I love the freedom it gives me and I’m good at it. I’ve never swum naked before and it will be difficult to go back to wearing a bathing suit. It’s the most delicious form of pleasure, feeling the cool water slide across my body and clutch me in a safe bubble. I am free here. There is nothing else to think about as I am locked away in a bomb proof fortress. I may even activate the secure room myself if they come to remove me because right now, in this moment, I have everything I need in life.

No ties, no job, and no family. The only people who may be worried are the friends I made in New York. Jack will have expected me after work, but will probably conclude I had a better offer. No. This is perfect because I’ve been given time to contemplate what I’m going to do next.
