relationship was to work, she nodded.
    “Yes, I do,” she said eagerly. “I think it should be expanded. Perhaps there could be a small, private hotel in London, hidden away in an exclusive back street, where people who’ve enjoyed the Club experience can go for a whole week at a time.”
    “A hidden hotel? Yes, I like that idea,” he said, leaning forward.
    “And I think it would be exciting to have themes at the hotel. There could be a Victorian week or an Ancient Roman week, for example. It would open up a whole range of exciting new sexual possibilities.
    “Also, schooling women to prepare them for those weeks could take place here at the Dining Club beforehand.”
    David’s eyes darkened with excitement. Putting an arm round her waist he kissed the side of her neck. “Brilliant!” he exclaimed. “The possibilities are endless. No wonder I fell in love with you!”
    Later that night, Andrew came to see them leave. “I’m pleased you’ve decided to stay on,” said David, shaking him by the hand. “I think you’ll find your work even more interesting from now on.”
    “I’m sure I will,” agreed Andrew. “I’m hoping to introduce a guest of my own before too long. In fact, I’m off to the King’s Head in Islington to meet up with her now.”
    “That’s great news,” said David to Grace as they drove away. “I wonder what she’ll be like?”
    “I’m sure she’ll be interesting,” said Grace, knowing perfectly well who Andrew meant, but uncertain how she felt about it.
    David glanced at her. “Lucien liked you,” he said. “What did you think of him?”
    “He was interesting,” she admitted.
    David raised an eyebrow. “Interesting? Well, the interest is definitely reciprocal.”
    “I didn’t feel attracted to him,” she said hastily.
    “My darling girl, there’s no need to worry. I thrive on challenges. Tomorrow morning I shall start looking for a suitable building for our hidden hotel.”
    His excitement was contagious, and Grace was overwhelmed with love for this handsome, complex man, who had finally committed himself to her.

    As their car sped through the night, Amber picked up her bedside phone, wondering who could be calling her at such a late hour. “Lucien? I never expected to hear from you again. What do you want?” she asked and then, as she listened intently, a slow smile spread over her face.
