CHAPTER EIGHT

IT HAD BEEN three days since Leo, for the first time in his adult life, had woken up late, sunlight streaming onto his huge bed the morning after the party, and felt a strange reluctance to begin his sixteen-hour workday. He had wanted to revel in the complete languor that had filled his mind and body. Three mornings ago, since he’d wandered through the villa only to discover that Neha had caught a lift with Massimo to London.

He had no idea how the woman had found the energy to disappear the morning after what had to have been an eventful, emotional night for her. But then Neha had always possessed a no-nonsense, pragmatic approach to life.

Three days in which he’d thought of her every hour, on the hour, as if someone had set an alarm in his head. Of how pliant and responsive and eager she’d been in his arms. Of how she’d felt around him, her gaze boldly holding his. Of how she’d tried to assure him that he had nothing to worry about.

If he were honest with himself, he hadn’t needed that cheeky reassurance. Taking his honesty a step further, he even admitted to himself that he’d been annoyed by her reassurance that she wasn’t going to act the part of a clingy lover.

He’d never had a connection like that with a woman even during sex before, the connection that had gone a little beyond the physical.

Whatever the reason, he was finding that one evening hadn’t been nearly enough. If anything, seeing how incredibly good it had been between them, Leo wanted a lot more of her.

He had a million things on his calendar to take care of—he’d been postposing his visit to his father. Silvio’s health had taken a rapid downturn in the last month. Alex was still acting strange even though she’d had the sense to call Greta the night of the party, and he had a meeting with Mario. A confrontation that had been coming for months that he needed all his wits for, and yet, here he was thinking of Neha in the middle of the afternoon.

Basta! He’d never been a man to sit and wonder why he wanted something. He’d just gone after it.

He picked up his phone and clicked on Neha’s dimpled smile on the screen.

A flurry of voices accompanied her greeting. He heard the click-click of her heels and then quietness. “Hey, Leo.”

Just her voice sent memories of remembered sensations rushing through him.

Cristo, she’d openly admitted she wanted him. He didn’t have to stand here and moon about that one experience like a teenager. He could simply arrange to see her again. And take her to bed. “I called to see how you are.”

“Oh, thanks. I’m good, yeah? Y’know, the usual. Back-to-back meetings, morning to night, but I’m okay.” A pause, and he could feel her hesitation through the space. “Did you get a chance to talk to Mario?”

“No,” he said, instantly alert to the ragged quality to her question. “Did he confront you again? Did he send your mum?”

“No.
