It felt like a deja vu. The last time Luke had travelled with Allie on a plane was during their honeymoon and he'd had these same thoughts about her. His hands balled into tight fists as he anticipated their arrival. Soon, he slept off. Maybe his desire for his wife was lesser than his desire to sleep.Minutes later, they arrived at the beautiful resort and got into their suite. Luke knew he had to get to business because his desire for his wife was just too much."I'm famished, Luke. I have to go to the kitchen to cook" Allie said to him and went to kitchenHe groaned in frustration. She'd left him with an uncomfortable hard on. Well, he'd just have to wait for her.He waited for several minutes and she still wasn't done with cooking. Impatient now, he went to the kitchen.,‘Have you any idea how much, right now, I want to kiss you?’ he drawled without masking his desire ‘To...to kiss me...?’ Allie stammered, her face flushing guiltily as she recognised how much she actually wanted

She had felt every bit as good in his arms as he had imagined, but not quite as good as she would have done had they been naked together in bed. Her skin had smelt of fresh air and peaches, and as he’d kissed her he had had a fierce surge of male desire to taste more of her, to strip that neat, high-necked tee shirt from her body and expose the delicious fullness of her breasts to his gaze...his hands...his mouth...There was a decidedly potent male ache in his lower body, a decidedly testosterone-driven urge to take what had happened between them further—a whole lot further—threatening his normal cool control. There had been a very tantalisingly masculine scent in the air, a provocative, hot man smell that had sent her hormones into overdrive. Obviously it would be much easier for him to keep her warm with his own body heat if she wrapped her arms around him, and she could quite understand why it was necessary for him to run his hands up and down the length of her naked back. Their

Her breath catching in her throat, Allie gave a soft, panting gasp of assent. What he was suggesting, offering, was too alluring, too tempting for her to refuse, her eyes already glistening with emotion at the thought of the sensual riches he was promising her.‘Let me take this off, then,’ he told her, carefully sliding the straps of her nightdress free of her shoulders. Even that light touch of his fingertips against her naked skin was enough to bring her out in a mass of sensually aroused goosebumps, and Allie knew before her nightdress slid free of her naked body, to reveal them in all their darkly pink, feminine glory, that her nipples were as eagerly aroused as two rosebuds, just waiting for the hot, silky warmth of the morning sun to coax them into full flower.Only what her nipples yearned for was not the touch of the summer sun, but the stroke of Luke's fingers; the moist heat of his mouth. The intimacy of her own thoughts was enough to make her shudder visibly.He had never

After the fire stopped, Allie felt relieved. She also felt antsy but above all, she felt furious.She'd missed her opportunity again. Would she continue to miss and miss all because of her hesitation? Anytime she tried to tell Luke how she felt, he misunderstood her and thought she desired him, even though she did and then it'll turn to sex.It made her so freaking angry because why she thought so many things, Luke was at peace, working with his laptop. She couldn't take it no more. It was now or never.She was going to say it now. She inhaled deeply. One, two, ready, go!"Do you have feelings for me Luke? I mean, do you love me?" He hesitated and she watched his uncertain expression closely. He looked like he struggled for an answer."Why the sudden question?" He asked icily"I want to know"Avoiding her gaze as he looked down to his laptop, he said"Well, I don't. It's a contract marriage, remember?"Allie felt like she'd been blown on her chest. Yes, that was how much it hurt to h

Rachel felt like a total looser. She felt numb. She didn't want to think about anything as she packed her bags. She'd failed. Again and again.She immediately hailed a cab and it took her to the airport. She'd already booked a quick flight back home. She didn't want to go to Luke's house when she returned. Instead she wanted to seek comfort in Bennett.She was the one responsible for causing the fire at the hotel. Since she arrived, she'd been keeping a tail on Luke and Allie and eavesdropping on their conversations. Luckily, she could do that. She knew Allie was going to confess to Luke after they'd had sex and she couldn't let that happen, that was why she started the fire because that was the only option that came to her mind. After the fire outbreak, she was happy that she'd caused a disruption to Allie's plans. She thought it was going to be hard for Allie after the fire outbreak. She didn't know that Allie would blurt out her feelings to Luke like that.And Luke loved her too. S
