that perhaps she matched her underwear to her stockings, and in a perfect world, her bra as well. But when his fingers felt only smooth, soft skin, he shifted his hand around higher. Nothing! James pulled back and looked down at her, his mind just starting to absorb what his hand was discovering. “You’re not wearing anything underneath!” he growled, a smile forming on his handsome face and he truly thought that all of his fantasies were finally encapsulated in this slender, glamorous woman who intrigued him beyond words.
    As soon as he said that, he knew that he’d made a mistake. Julianna’s whole body stiffened and the look in her eyes told her he should have just shut up and enjoyed his miraculous discovery of her sensuous nature.
    Julianna couldn’t believe that her secret had been revealed. She froze with horror and fear, and the most acute embarrassment she’d ever experienced in her whole life. When she pulled her eyes away from his, she saw only darkness and then a passing light. She was in a car? She’d been about to have sex with a man, with this man in a car?! She scrambled out from underneath him, horrified that she’d let things get so out of hand. She was in the back of a limousine for goodness sake!
    And of all the men she might have lost control with, why did it have to be with the ever-so-brazen and over the top James Cavanaugh. He would never let her live this episode down. She could imagine him pestering her for an explanation and never letting the subject die until he had the whole truth.
    But she wouldn’t give him any explanation! She shifted away, frantically pulling her dress down and ensuring that she looked presentable. Okay, shoes were needed. She looked around in the darkness, wondering how she could have lost her shoes. She found one over near the left door and the other by the right. Had she somehow tossed her shoes in that direction? There was no way they could have landed that far apart without some sort of assistance but for the life of her, she couldn’t figure it out.
    “Julianna, I didn’t mean to embarrass you,” James said with a firm, almost authoritative voice. And she hated the way her body tingled, her fingers once again itched to touch him and explore…
    She pushed her hair back out of her eyes, only just now realizing that it was no longer neatly pulled back and tucked into a twist. She’d had enough difficulty finding her shoes, she didn’t want to even start the search for the pins to hold her hair in place.
    “Don’t talk,” she whispered, frantically trying to pull herself together. When he started to reach for her again, she shifted away from him, moving as far away as she possibly could. Julianna couldn’t even look at him, so embarrassed by not only his discovery, but also because of the way she’d practically attacked him sexually. She had no idea who that woman was, but she didn’t like the way she lost control of herself around James. He was bad news!
    “The car has stopped!” she gasped and quickly put her dress back in order. She scrambled to put on her shoes which had been clasped in her hands while her mind tried to rationalize her actions over the past fifteen or twenty minutes, so embarrassed she was almost in tears.
    “Thank you very much for the ride home,” she said as she grabbed the door handle. She was trying to guess how long the vehicle had been parked in front of her house. The driver must know what had been happening back here or he would have come around to open the door as was his custom. 
    “Oh goodness,” she said out loud, her hand covering her face as she wondered if the driver had actually come around, opened the door to find them in that promiscuous embrace and just quietly closed it once again.
    Either scenario, the one where the driver just instinctively knew what was going on or that he had witnessed the activities, threw her into a whole new level of humiliation. She stumbled out of the car, almost tripping on the
