wooden board.
    “Do you want to knead or shall I?” she asked him.
    “Why don’t you start on it, and when your hands get tired I’ll take over.” Daniel stood right next to her watching her every move. They both had donned aprons the school had provided.
    Her elegant hands worked through the dough, and he watched her, fascinated. Silently, he stepped behind her and molded his body to hers. He felt her surprise, but she didn’t move away.
    She fit perfectly into his chest, and he knew instinctively that he would have the best sleep of his life if he could only spoon her and nuzzle his head in the crook of her neck. That’s what he wanted, have her stay with him the entire night and fall asleep with her cradled in his arms. Later, when they were back at his hotel, he’d ask her to stay until morning.
    Reaching his hands forward, he put them onto hers and helped her knead the dough while he put his cheek to hers.
    “Why didn’t you take my money last night?”
    She stiffened.
    “You deserved it,” he assured her and continued moving her hands with his through the dough.
    “You didn’t need to give me anything.”
    “Why?”
    “It was more than enough.”
    “What was more than enough?”
    “What you gave me last night.”
    Daniel needed to get to the bottom of this. “The money I paid to the agency?”
    “No. That’s not what I meant.”
    “Please, Holly. What did you mean?”
    “Nobody has ever made me feel this good.”
    His hands stopped. “But—”
    “Nobody,” she repeated and turned her head to look at him. “You’re the best lover I’ve ever had.”
    Looking into her green eyes, he believed her. His mouth found hers without thinking. He lost himself in a deep kiss. Hungry as he was, he all but devoured her, losing any sense of time and place.

    Sabrina wasn’t sure whether she should have told him, but he’d been so insistent, and at this point what would be the harm if she told him the truth? And the truth was he was the best lover she’d ever had. Not that she’d had that many, but even if she had, she was sure that he would still be the best.
    When she felt his demanding lips on hers, she wished they were back at his hotel, where she could rip his clothes off. She felt more than aroused by his kiss and felt her panties getting soaked with warm moisture oozing from her core.
    “Hey, lovebirds, are we going to get that pizza dough any time soon?” a voice pulled them out of their embrace. The couple who was assigned with preparing the toppings for the pizza grinned at them.
    Daniel chuckled. “Pizza dough, coming right up.” And then he gave her another searing look and whispered just for her to hear, “We’ll continue this later.”
    Sabrina so desperately wanted to sit down to stop her knees from shaking. How this man could turn her weak like this with just one kiss was beyond her. Daniel gave her a knowing look. Oh yes, he knew exactly the kind of effect he had on her. Maybe it had been a bad idea after all to tell him that he was her best lover. Like he needed any more encouragement.
    The food was better than they would have eaten at a five star restaurant. They sat together at a long communal table with the other couples, chatting, drinking and complimenting each other on their cooking skills.
    They were engaged in a conversation with the couple sitting opposite them, who had introduced themselves as Kim and Marcus.
    “You guys are either newlyweds or engaged to be married, am I right?” Kim asked curiously. Her husband nudged her in the ribs.
    “Don’t be so nosy, honey.”
    “That’s quite all right,” Daniel replied. “So, what makes you think that, Kim?”
    “You guys obviously can’t keep your hands off each other, no offense. That’s what we were like at the beginning too. Do you remember, honey?” Kim gave her husband a sheepish look.
    “Sure do,” he replied and planted a wet kiss on her neck. She laughed out loud.
    “Sorry, Marcus is obviously
