Chapter 1

Bryce, darling, come to bed.

He turned slightly and looked at the naked woman sprawled on the bed behind him. She was nothing if not persistent. This moment has been coming for weeks. He had been the one to resist until now.

She lacked modesty and inhibition; her arching eyebrows and roving hands were telltale signs thereof. She was beautiful and aware of the effect she had on a man.

He became aware of three things while he stared out of the window at the miserable view of the mountain and the bay below.

These realisations startled him even when her two hands slipped around his waist and down to his belt buckle.

His gut clenched. Not in anticipation as he would have expected given the situation, but in sudden ball breaking fear. Success had come not only on the back of years of sweat and sacrifice, but listening to said
