Excerpt – Raw Silk
The telephone rang. Kate started then grabbed it on its second ring. When she heard Anand's voice, warm relief flooded over her. Still, some part of her had expected and hoped it would be Marshall.
"Hello, Katherine! How are you?"
"Oh, very well, Anand. And very busy."
"I am sure that you are being wonderfully productive." She could imagine Anand's gentle grin. "Are you still available to join me in a trip upriver to Ayuthaya tomorrow?"
"Oh, definitely. I'm really looking forward to it." She was, too. After her experience with Marshall, Anand's easy-going humor, impeccable manners, respectful attention and honest lust seemed exceptionally appealing. Her discomfort about his marital status was minor in comparison to the confusion she felt about Gregory Marshall.
"Wonderful. I will pick you up around nine o'clock, if that is convenient for you. My driver will take us to the summer palace at Bang Pa-in. From there we will travel by water."
"Perfect. I'll be ready by nine."
"You should wear something cool and comfortable," said the Thai, "but avoid very revealing clothing, since this would not be proper attire for visiting temples." He paused. "Much as I might enjoy seeing you in such attire, of course!"
