I was nearly trembling from the anticipation. Wishing like hell that he'd make the first move.

The strange smile Donner was giving me didn't do much to help my nervousness.

That combination of a leer and the eager smile of child wanting to get at a new toy.

"We'll just see about that," he said. Smiling. All of it as if we were sharing some little secret.

"Let's start off by seeing what you really have. Display yourself to me!"

I'd never heard it put quite like that before, but from the way his gaze had dropped I figured he wanted to see more of my legs.

And the rest of me as well.

I smiled at my audience of one as I reached for the bottom hem of my mini. Slowly twisting at the hip to show one leg then the other.

Making a show of it as I pulled my skirt up.

"Hold still! I never told you to move!" he shouted.

So much for trying to be sexy, I thought. He doesn't want a show, just to get right to the meat of the issue.

My meat!

But at least he was still looking.

Boy was he ever.

I thought he was about to hurt himself by the time my skirt was pulled up to reveal my panties.

Red fluffs of hair poking out from around the sides of tiny scrap of lace.

"What the hell is that? I thought you said you knew why I sent for you?"

"I… I…" but I didn't have the faintest idea what had upset Donner, let alone being able to work up a bluff to get me out of it.

"You'll find what you need in there," he shouted, pointing toward a closed doorway. "Or else get the hell out and stop wasting my time!"

CHAPTER TWO

With a flush of embarrassment I rushed to the door he pointed at, still holding my skirt up around my waist.

I had stepped into a small bathroom, and try as I might I couldn't find anything that seemed as if it could be of any use to me.
