quaking body into the chair. She pushed her hair from her face, which felt flushed. She was mortified. What had just happened? What had come over her to throw herself at Stuart like that? If he hadn’t stopped her she’d come dangerously close to losing her virginity right there in his office!
    She thought she knew what had induced Stuart to behave like this. He wanted to teach her a lesson, of course; wanted to show her that she didn’t really love Geoffrey at all. That she was merely lusting after any male that offered himself to her. Her eyes narrowed, she brought her ragged breathing under control. She didn’t want Stuart, that much was obvious, and he didn’t want her. So why was her head now filled with images of the two of them together, their bodies grinding away against each other on his desk? And why was she suddenly filled with this powerful longing to go back to him so he could conquer her all over again?
    She didn’t know. All she knew was that after saving herself for Geoffrey all these years she wasn’t going to offer herself to her cousin now. Sooner or later she was bound to fall in love again—logic told her so. And hopefully it would be with a man she could truly love the way she had always loved Geoffrey.
    Had loved? But she still loved Geoffrey, didn’t she? Of course she did.
    And for all she knew this engagement with Giselle would never result in a wedding at all. Couples broke up all the time. There was still a small chance that Geoffrey would be hers. She desperately tried to feel elated at this but found that she couldn’t. Each time she tried to conjure up the trusty image of herself with Geoffrey—as she had so many times before—Stuart’s face intruded, shattering the daydream into a torrid maelstrom of desire and need, flooding her core with so much heat she inadvertently pressed her thighs together.
    She buried her face in her hands, and willed the tears at the loss of her teenage infatuation to finally burn her eyes and cleanse her soul.
    Back in his office, Stuart gazed down at the city of London below. What the hell was going on? Why was he suddenly acting like a horny teenager each time he was around Kirsty? Not Kirsty, he was quick to correct himself. Any woman would likely be able to provoke this kind of response. It was all a matter of hormones, after all. He tried to remember if the shrink he’d seen when he’d returned from Iraq had mentioned this fact. He hadn’t paid attention to the man.
    He’d been too preoccupied with Mike’s horror stories of the business going on the fritz to worry about posttraumatic stress disorder. Perhaps he should talk to Steve. He’d been in the service about as long as Stuart had, though he’d been through much, much worse than he had. Steve had actually been badly injured in battle, and still carried the scars, both physically and emotionally.
    No, he decided. This was simply the backlash of a man deprived of normal sexual activity for too long. Once he got this out of his system he would cease to lust after Kirsty like a horny sixteen-year-old. After all, it wasn’t as if he was in love with her, and she was definitely not in love with him, he decided grimly.

Chapter 6
    K irsty stared out of the porthole window as the private jet gained altitude and quickly soared over London’s azure skies. Even though she was a member of the illustrious Knight family, she’d never flown in the company jet before, the privilege strictly reserved for her three cousins who now ran the company. Lesser family members like her were relegated to less prominent roles in the company hierarchy. The fact that Stuart had handpicked her as his new PA meant a significant rise through the ranks and, as the HR director had assured her when she’d gone in to sign the contract, a proportionate pay hike as well.
    Not that she cared much about either of those things. Though initially she’d wanted to work for Knight Enterprises as a way to be closer to Geoffrey,
