grabbed a snack bar instead, plus his half cold coffee. After forcing himself to look out of the window, and seeing nothing, he went upstairs. The alarm shrieked as he moved through the house. He reset it using the upstairs control panel and entered his bedroom. The house was secure at least. He'd know the second anything came through the hallway.
    He breathed a deep sigh of relief and had a quick workout to release the tension in his neck and shoulders.
    After wiping himself down, he tossed his sweaty t-shirt on the floor, and lie back on his bed. Picking up his unopened Computer Wise magazine, a monthly subscription, he pulled off the plastic covering and flicked through it. He didn't think he could possibly concentrate on anything so mundane for a minute, not after all that had happened, but oddly he could. He became engrossed in an article about the next generation of ultra thin roll-up computers and super nano chip technology. Things were moving on at such a pace in the IT world that it staggered him at times. People were so inventive and clever. He didn't think it would be long before the entire human race had a chip inserted in their brains and were connected up to the internet, staring at the world through monitor shaped eyes. He smiled to himself, thinking what a visionary mindset he had, as he continued to read.
    Suddenly the doorbell blared and he jumped out of his skin, obviously still unnerved.
    Jeez, that bell could wake the dead.
    It was a loud buzzing noise which couldn't fail to be heard, probably in the next village, nearly three miles away. Mrs Higgins was unfortunately quite deaf and the bell was set on the highest setting so that she could hear it when she was working around the house, cleaning or cooking.
    He jumped up and looked out of the window. There was no car or van there. Callers on foot were rare as they lived in the depths of the Suffolk countryside. There were no paths and very few houses. But they sometimes did have people call. He couldn't see who was there because of the entrance porch columns obscuring his view and the overgrowth of ivy, which covered the house almost entirely. He flew downstairs, tripping the alarm, which set off loudly. He turned the alarm off, with a quick press of the red and yellow buttons, and opened the door, anxious to see another person, whoever it was.
    His heart stopped beating and his breath heaved in his chest. It was her. Melanie.
    “Oh, hi...” he said lamely, at a loss for words at the stunner standing before him. He quickly dragged his gaze up to her face and kept it there, with difficulty.
    “ I thought I'd come early. I finish at three at the dental surgery on Mondays,” she said with a warm smile. “So, can I come in?” Her eyes swept over his bare chest in open admiration. He felt the heat begin to build.
    “ Mel, I don't know... Is this a good idea?” he began earnestly.
    “ Why not? I'm really looking forward to my ride... Please Kyle...” she said sweetly and innocently. But he was pretty sure her inner feelings and intentions didn't match her tone of voice. He could see it in her eyes. That burning look struck him in his gut, and lower than his gut...
    He let her in and closed the door, turning and taking a deep breath.
    “Wow, you've certainly dressed for the occasion!” He couldn't stop himself from grinning from ear to ear at the beautiful vision. He lapped it up hungrily as they had a long mutually appreciative stare at each other.
    “ So you like?” she teased, playfully.
    “ Mmmm,” he managed to force his tongue to reply.
    Fuck, did he like? Christ Almighty... She couldn't be more of a hot biker chick...
    Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, wispy tendrils trailing sexily around her neck and face. Big chunky silver earrings adorned her pretty ears.
    But her clothing was something out of his wildest fantasies...
    Tight, very low cut faded jeans, just about hugged her hips, in fact they were so low rise they just about
