at women like this?” she said.
    She was too much. She’d pushed her chest out as if to assert herself but that sash wasn’t tied as tightly as she thought and the sides of the gown parted to better reveal her cleavage.
    He saw the swell of her bosoms, saw the little hollow between her breasts and thought he would explode.
    He spread his hands. “If you come out of the bathroom looking like that, of course I’m going to look at you. Where else would you like me to look?”
    Bree extended one arm to the window, her breasts swaying with the motion. “There’s one heck of a view out here, in case you hadn’t noticed.”
    “But the view in here is taking all my attention.”
    “Well now that you’ve had such a good long look, perhaps you can look elsewhere.”
    “But there’s so much more I haven’t seen.”
    How would she respond? Would she play this little flirting game with him?
    She sauntered to the window and Conrad was all too aware of the distance she was putting between them.
    “Very soon all this will be yours,” she said over her shoulder. “The Residence, the land, the views. You will own it all. But not everything can be bought.”
    “You might be surprised at what’s for sale.”
    Bree turned and shot him a look which smouldered with something other than desire and, damn it, she was enjoying every moment. Confident and self-assured, she knew he wanted her. She’d let him look but she wouldn’t let him touch the goods on display until she was ready. If she was ready.
    She walked slowly towards him, her eyes riveted to his. “You’re a very rich man, Conrad, and there’s a lot you can buy with your money but you can’t have everything.”
    “Can’t I?”
    “The problem with having so much money is that you always want more. There’s always something else you want. Another painting to buy. Another piece of property. But at some point it has to stop.”
    “You don’t know me very well, Bree. I can’t think of anything I’ve wanted that I haven’t been able to have. It’s just that some things cost more or they’re more work or they’re just that little bit harder to get.”
    Ignoring him, sh e stepped closer to the fruit platter he’d placed on the coffee table.
    “Strawberries,” she whispered.
    As she leaned over to make her selection, her fingers hovered over the melons and exotic fruits. Her gown gaped, exposing the fine flesh he longed to ravish. Her breasts hung down like soft ripe fruit and Conrad wanted to peel away her gown and devour that firm white flesh. He could clearly see one nipple, erect as though reaching out to something though not towards him.
    This was painful for him. His eyes were wide open but still he couldn’t get his fill.
    Then she reached for a strawberry and straightened, the gown once again covering her as she did so.
    Tilting her head upwards, she took a long greedy bite, sucking in the sweetness of the fruit, her enjoyment showing in her face.
    “Do you like strawberries?” she asked.
    He stepped closer and looked down at her, his lips parted. She hesitated as though considering feeding him the remainder of the fruit in her hand but then slid the berry into her own mouth as if she’d thought better of it.
    He held her gaze. “I like them very much.”
    She shot him a quick smile as she bent over the fruit platter to grab another strawberry. Stepping closer to him, she reached up and popped the fragrant fruit between his lips. The sweet ness exploded in his mouth. He ate slowly, determined to savour everything that was on offer.
    Bree’s lips had curled to a seductive smile, or was it a superior one? She had him eating out of her hand, quite literally, and she knew it.
    He inched closer and although she didn’t move away, she held her ground.
    She’d already told him there were some things that couldn ’t be bought with his money. Yet she was putting the goods on display and he couldn’t bear to be so close to what he yearned for without
