As he cast aside his shirt, he bent down and raised her up to pull her dress off her without unzipping it. She heard the rip of material, for it had been a neat fit. He flicked loose the catch on the balconette bra that had merely acted as an extra line of suspension and, with it gone, she was naked.
'No, don't you dare try to cover a centimetre of that beautiful bare flesh,' Alexei censured huskily, lifting her up the bed to settle her in a pose that concealed nothing from his burning gaze. 'This is what I wanted from the moment I saw you in the bath earlier. Within seconds I was hotter than hell for you, moraki mou.'
