“Let’s go for a walk,” Javier said as the car cut through the streets of Paris.

It was the first time he’d spoken since leaving Edouard’s mansion. He gave a quick order in French, and the driver stopped the limousine. Javier got out first, then helped her out. Her hand tingled where his fingers brushed against hers.

“Why do you want to walk?”

Vivian’s high heels clicked on the concrete of the sidewalk along the Seine. It was dark, and the streets had emptied. She glanced at the river and thought of how many couples had shared kisses, declarations of love, or lover’s tiffs on its bridges, on the sidewalks surrounding it, and on the cruise boats that navigated its waters.

“I’d rather do something else, but walking is safer,” he said quietly.

Safer for whom?

Javier slowed down his pace and came to a full stop, prompting her to do the same. He leaned down just enough for her to hear him if he were to speak, but not enough so that his breath would whisper over her skin. Vivian held her own breath for as long as she could before inhaling in small gasps.

“Whatever else you had in mind,” she said, “I’m sure Dominique would love to oblige.”

He shook his head. “But I don’t want Dominique.”

His gaze slid over her, dropping to her lips and breasts. Vivian’s nipples hardened, reacting to the command he silently gave. If he had said he wanted her, her reaction would be no less instantaneous.

“You slept with her, so she’s no longer a novelty?”

The idea incensed her. Did he do that to all the women who crossed his path—seduce them relentlessly and then downgrade them to second-class citizenship when he was done with them?

She remembered Molly and had her answer.

“Dominique is not a victim. We had an arrangement. I hadn’t seen her for months before tonight.”

“You don’t understand women, do you?”

“I understand women better than you think. It’s you who I don’t understand. Why are you defending Dominique when she would have been happy to claw you back there?”

“Because maybe she cared for you. Even with all your warning labels.” As soon as the words made their way out of her mouth, she regretted saying them.

She wasn’t talking about Dominique.

She wasn’t even sure she was talking about Molly.

Although it was dark, she could still see the frown on his face. “You are a very loyal woman, Vivian.” His cold voice chilled her. “Though you must be careful with such blind loyalty.”

She swallowed. The silence deepened with every second that passed. His eyes locked on hers, and the small gap between them could have been as wide as the river.

He wasn’t talking about Dominique, either.

“I only do what I think is right.”

Vivian turned to face the river. It was so calm, it almost looked like a landscape painting.

“Look at me,” he demanded.

She turned to face him. A warm glow outlined his black irises. The expression she found there was the same one he’d given her earlier, when they’d had breakfast and he’d told her about his painful childhood.
