       Sev kissed her in a way he perhaps shouldn’t if Naomi was going to keep her head.

      Side on, eyes open long enough for them to know that what they were doing was breaking their rules.

      Their legs were entwined, but now there was time for more. And so Naomi kissed him in a way perhaps she shouldn’t. Three months of restraint had ended on the plane, but a different restraint ended this morning. She had never known a kiss like it. Their tongues swirled, mouth played with mouth. She took in his lower lip just to feel it between hers, they stroked at each other’s mouths, caressed the other’s tongue. Yes, she had never known a kiss like it—and she guessed after this morning she never would again.

      ‘YOU’RE ENGLISH?’ NAOMI watched from the other side of a large polished desk as Sevastyan Derzhavin flicked through her résumé with little enthusiasm.

      He’d already made up his mind that she hadn’t got the job, Naomi decided. So it was now just a matter of going through the motions.

      What she didn’t know was Sevastyan never went through the motions.

      Social niceties did not apply to him.

      ‘I was born here and my father lives here in New York,’ Naomi answered. ‘So I’m legal...’
