An alluring female I have time for (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

houri

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'an alluring female' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i have time for' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'i' is found in the answer.
'time' could be 'hour' (unit of time) and 'hour' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for houri that I've seen before include "Voluptuously alluring woman" , "Girl in Muslim paradise" , "Virgin companion of the Muslim faithful in Paradise" , "Alluring woman or nymph in Muslim paradise" , "Paradisal nymph" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
