was a thoroughbred and might even be worth sweating out her relaxer. Maybe she was going a little too far with that one.

She licked her lips like someone who was about to devour their favorite meal and in an almost feline way walked over to where he was sitting.

Her voice was warm like hot caramel, “Daniel?”

He saw her the moment she arrived at the bar and stood at the threshold of the door. The hairs on his body stood up. When they met, he knew from the fire in her eyes that Sabrina was a wild one. If she was half the woman he thought she was, then he was going to take great pleasure in taming her.

Daniel slowly turned around as if he was in no rush. Once he’d finally turned all the way around, he leisurely examined her from her shoes up every inch of those shapely legs. Daniel continued to take his time while scorching Sabrina in the process. His gaze moved further up lingering at that place between her thighs that they both knew he’d know intimately before the night was over.

His sensuous perusal of her body already had her tingling all over. Her mouth went dry. Daniel knew the effect he was having on her as he continued his deliciously slow ascent of her body until he finally reached her eyes. As hard as she tried to hide the simmering passion within them, he could still see it. Just as he knew she could see the open desire in his.

“After undressing me with your eyes do like what you see?”

Daniel took a sip of his drink but his eyes never left hers. “I’m sure I’ll like it much better once the dress comes off.”

Raising a perfectly sculpted eyebrow, Sabrina purred, “Hmm…don’t you mean IF it comes off?”

His eyes and his response said two different things. He responded with a lopsided grin, “Okay, I’ll play. Can I buy you a drink?”

Sabrina sat down effortlessly on the bar stool, “I’ll have what you’re having.”

“This might be a bit too hard for a little lady like you.”

“Then make mine a double. I can handle very hard things.”

Daniel called the waiter over, “Can you send a bottle up to room 817B?” Then he turned to Sabrina, “Shall we go find out?”

*****

Sabrina woke up around four in the morning. She looked over at a still sleeping Daniel. Even asleep he looked good enough to eat and he’d given her a really good time; absolutely incredible.

She needed to get out of his bed and get back to her room as soon as possible before she started confusing great sex with something else like a real attraction.

Daniel was the type of man you screwed…nothing more and nothing less. Especially, since she’d done her internet research on him before their date.

He had been married for a little over a year and had a one year old daughter. It was most likely a shotgun marriage. The wife’s family was wealthy. Daniel had received a small inheritance when his step-father and mother were killed in a car accident several years ago. He seemed to have blown through it. Sabrina wouldn’t get caught up with a man who didn’t have his stuff together. Sex was one thing, trying to plan a future was quite another. She couldn’t find any businesses Daniel owned or any occupation for him whatsoever.

As much as she wanted to throw her leg over the side of his body and ride him hard…she was going to throw her leg over the side of the bed and sneak the hell out. She got and received more than she hoped for.

Chapter 4

It was the last night of Tasha’s mini vacation and other than that messy first day with Sabrina and LaWanda, the trip had been amazing. She’d spent her time taking in some of the local sites, reading some of her favorite books, shopping, and playing in the ocean.

Sabrina on the other hand, had spent every waking hour either in conferences or working. Anyone would have thought that once it was announced that she’d received the Executive Director position that maybe she would have spent some time trying to celebrate. She deserved a moment to appreciate the culmination of all of her hard work. But no, she was either on her phone, laptop and sometimes both at the same time.

However, tonight they were supposed to have a nice dinner together at some fancy restaurant.

Tasha was packing her suitcase when Sabrina stuck her head through her door. “Hey Tash, have you ever heard of Tim Horne?”

“Hmm…it sounds familiar but I can’t say that I can place the name. Why?”

“Well, I’ll just fill you in real quick. He’s a billionaire and more importantly single. He has tons of companies in his portfolio and I was able to find out that he’s going to be having dinner at the same restaurant we’re going to tonight. It takes forever to get your name on the list but I had someone who owed me a favor pull some strings so that we’ll be there at the same time he’s there.”

Tasha tried to muster up some excitement but she could really care less. “So, what’s your plan? To wow him with your wit and get either his business, or get in his pants?”

“Your goals are too low.” Sabrina laughed huskily, “I’m gunning for both. Bring your note pad tonight my friend. Class on how to land a man will be in session.”

Tasha couldn’t help but smile. You could never ever say Sabrina Links lacked focused. “So, what time should I be ready?”

Tasha and Sabrina made it to the restaurant around eight o’clock. Sabrina loved it when Tasha spruced herself up a bit because she was
