posts on that hateful ring if she’d only taken the time to research it. “But I can give you the web address of the ring, to look into matters further.”
    He frowned slightly, the lines across his brow furrowing. “You’re not afraid that I’ll be able to work out how you tracked this ring?”
    “No, I’m not. I will ask you to take things slowly though. The men behind this have done enough damage as it is.”
    “Oh, I’m a master at taking things slowly when the need calls for it, and picking up the pace when it will get the best results for all parties involved.” He grinned and looked her slowly up and down. The rest of the office fell away in that moment. Her inner walls tightened, rippled, only to tighten once more. Her legs felt like Jell-O.
    What was it about this man that a single look could have her wondering if he would taste good with chocolate smeared over his chest?
    “I bet you are,” she murmured then clamped her lips shut.
    “Well, now, I believe if you let me know the address, then, by the time we have dinner tonight I might have an idea on what we need to do next.”
    Yes, chocolate, all over his chest, long, dark lines of sweet, sensual delight tempting her tongue down towards his cock until she could wrap her lips about it and…
    “Sue? Are you all right? You just look a little distracted.”
    “Yes, I’m fine. Tonight it is, then.” She reached into a pocked in the side of her skirt, trying to force the images of Alan splayed out over his desk begging her to lick him clean, out of her mind. Maybe she’d been reading too many of those dark, erotic novels?
    “You’ll need this.”
    “Thank you.” Alan reached out, stroking his fingers over hers as he claimed the paper. “And I look forward to tonight.”
    She shivered, her breath threatening to catch in the back of her throat as she found her gaze held and locked by a set of impossibly dark eyes. “As am I.”
    Yes, chocolate, whipped cream, with Alan naked and chained to a bed all eager, hungry for her touch. God, what was she thinking!
    That he was the best looking man she’d seen in a long time, and even though she knew that the flirting, the soft touches, and that oh-so-wicked smile he kept flashing her way were nothing more than a game it didn’t stop her from enjoying it whilst she still could.

Chapter Six
     
    Alan stared at the door after the two women had left. Had he really just asked her out? From the moment she’d walked into the room he’d had to struggle to keep things on at least a semiprofessional level. Her walk, her smile, the confidence that had shone from her eyes, and yet something else, a hint of wariness when she thought he wasn’t looking.
    Had she been caught off guard by his invitation?
    Well, if she hadn’t been, he had. The words had sprung to life before he’d even had the chance to think the idea through clearly.
    Just as well, if I’d thought about it then I’d have never asked her out. Shit, I’m almost ready to call her and beg out. What if she laughs at me tonight? Or backs out on her own ?
    Damnit , he’d asked dozens of women out before, so why did this date, this one date, leave him feeling like a schoolboy facing his very first date all over again?
    Because I want it to work out .
    Sue. He’d never met a woman like her before now.
    Just the thought of her curves, the way her smile lit up her face, the glint in her deep blue eyes when she’d stood up to him, as if she was prepared to leave him and the office if he tried to force the situation any further.
    Strong.
    Beautiful.
    A woman, a goddess.
    One capable of driving him to his knees if he let her get too close.
    All right, maybe the goddess part was going a little too far, but it didn’t stop his cock from throbbing at the very thought of her.
    The phone rang on his desk without the yellow light that said it had come through via reception. He frowned as he reached for the receiver. Only a handful of people had the direct
