Taking her gently by the shoulders, he murmured, “Yesterday I felt you melt in my arms. You wanted me and you have since the first moment you saw me.”
She pulled away and shrugged him off, snapping waspishly, “You’re very arrogant, Antonio. You think you’re God’s gift to women.”
His eyes glinted sensually. “I’ve known a lot of women and you can’t fool me. That first day you arrived I sensed it – driving back from the airport. You wanted to go to bed with me even then.”
Shocked, she could only say, “That’s not true!”
He shook his head. “Don’t lie to me, Angela. I could sense it like a dog smells fear. I know when a woman wants me. And I wanted you. As soon as I saw you I felt like stripping you naked and ravishing you on the airport floor.”
Shocked into silence for a few moments, Angela then found her tongue. “When we met I thought you didn’t like me!”
“Well, there you are. If you were half as perceptive as me, you’d have sensed it. That’s why I was unsure whether I should have hired you. I knew you represented danger and would distract me. I’ve tried my best to keep my hands off you until I couldn’t resist any longer.”
His hand slid round her waist and suddenly his mouth took possession of hers, igniting flames deep within her. She responded to his hungry kiss with fervour, the sound of her rapid heartbeat resounding in her ears.
“Let’s go to bed,” he urged. “Let me make love to you.”
