It was two days after the "shower" incident, and Harley still could not get Mallet's words out of her mind. "You're the most beautiful woman in the world," he had said to her. Other people had told her that before (of course... she was married three times), but when he said it, it was- different.

"Harley? You OK in there?" Mallet called through the door. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just give me a second." "Alright, but just one second. And then I'm coming in there whether you're decent or not. Well, you're always decent, but you know what I mean!" Harley blushed. Mallet always knew how to make her feel beautiful. "It's been more than a second Cooper, I'm coming in –" She opened the door halfway through his sentence. "Sorry Mallet. Guess you won't get to see me naked this time." Harley giggled. "That may be so, but don't expect me to wait forever." "I never said you'd have to wait forever. I never even said you'd have to wait for long. I think you'll be happy when you get out of the shower."

Mallet was extremely interested in what Harley had just said. "What do you mean 'I'll be happy when I get out of the shower?'" "You'll see. Just wait." She looked at him with that look- the look that he hadn't seen in almost ten years. That's when he knew what she meant. "OK, Cooper. Use that element of surprise stuff if you want. But remember- I know all your tricks- every single one. So you can't fool me." "I'm not trying to fool you Mallet. Just wait and see. I'm 100 percent sure you'll love what I have planned." She kissed him passionately on the lips. "I like it already," Mallet said with a sexy smile. "I know."
