Glam Metal Read Free Page A

as she was spraying perfume the doorbell rang.
     
    There was a flutter in her stomach and a shiver down her spine as she checked her hair. She looked good but she still felt a quiver all over.
     
    She opened the door and there stood Jay looking as attractive as ever. He was wearing a designer jacket with a black tee-shirt and chinos. His hair was disheveled as ever but tonight he wore no makeup. Sam felt her heart miss a beat.
     
    “Sexy!” He planted a kiss on her cheek and grinned as she let him into her apartment.
     
    Sam picked up her wrap and Jay helped her put it round her shoulders. As his hands brushed lightly against her skin, it sent shockwaves through her body. She wondered if he was aware of the affect he was having on her.
     
    Jay held the door of the car open for her and she slid into the leather seats of the Mercedes. It was a beautiful car and as Jay drove away he slipped a disc into the CD player and smiled at her as he watched her expression when she realized that it was Glam Metal. Sam laughed as they sped through the city.
     
    “That’ s low, you know?”
     
    “I can go lower,” he teased but the innuendo was unmistakable.
     
    Their table was at the window looking down onto the marina. It was dark but the gentle flicker from the candles made it very romantic. Jay removed his shades and ordered a ‘ 67 champagne. He covered Sam ’ s hand with his. He grinned at her and said:
     
    “I was hoping you’ d accept my invitation to dinner.” He was looking at her intensely. His blue eyes were piercing every fibre of her body. She wished she could remember where she knew him from, but she just kept drawing a blank.
     
    “The flowers were so beautiful, how could I refuse?” She teased. Jay laughed. He was so handsome when he smiled. Sam was melting under his gaze.
     
    They talked about Jay ’ s life in America; he told Sam that he travelled a lot and that next weekend he would be leaving for Japan. This hit Sam like a freight train. In a week he would be gone and she ’ d never see him again. She forced herself back into the room. He had a girlfriend, she reminded herself.
     
    “After that it’ s back to LA.” Jay was saying. “It should be good.” Sam was about to ask him what he worked at when his phone rang. “Hey, how’s my favourite girl? You can ’ t live without me, huh?” He laughed. Sam ’ s heart sank as she heard him say he loved her too. She mustn’t read too much into this, they were only having dinner and yes, he did kiss her last night but maybe she misread the intensity of the kiss. Jay has and had a life before she met him and he was just being a man, the original bastard species. He was cheating on his girlfriend. Typical!
     
    As he hung up she excused herself and went to the ladies room. Sam looked at her reflection in the mirror. She was thirty four years old. A successful business woman and recently separated. Of course! That was why he was here . Sam looked good for her age but she also felt very vulnerable. Perhaps he thought that she would be an easy target to get into bed. Well, she wasn ’ t going to be a notch on his belt even if he was the hottest guy she had ever seen.
     
    Back at the table Jay refilled her glass. He moved closer to her and took her hand in his, raised it to his mouth and gently kissed it. Sam tried to resist him but with every fibre of her being urgently wanting him; she was finding it very difficult.
     
    The evening had been very pleasant and despite what happened earlier; Sam had a really good time. Jay was great company and he had a fantastically wicked sense of humour. And she couldn’t help but enjoy the evening.
     
    As Jay parked the Mercedes in the garage he put his arm on the back of Sam ’ s seat and leaned forward to kiss her on the cheek. His breath was warm and the gentle touch of his fingers barely touching her shoulder almost sent her into the next world with excitement. Sam desperately wanted him to take her
