CHAPTER SEVEN

'WHO is the most handsome boy in the world? Who has the most gorgeous brown eyes and silky black hair?' Sarah whispered, lying on her stomach on the carpet, as smilingly intent on Nicky, who was kicking and waving his arms, as Nicky was intent on her. 'And you're not going to grow up and kiss the girls to make them cry, are you?' she sighed. 'I want you to be sensitive and loving and romantic. It takes a real man to be those things... don't you ever listen to anybody telling you different-----'

'Is this a private indoctrination session or can anyone join in?'

Sarah froze, her head jerking up to focus in horror on Alex's hand-stitched Italian leather shoes. Dear heaven, how could it be that time already? She always made sure she was well out of the way during Alex's visits to the nursery. And as a rule she was very efficient in her timing. In the past two weeks, she had actually gone forty-eight hours twice without even laying eyes on Alex in the distance. With a little effort, it wasn't difficult. Alex was a creature of habit and routine as regards his working day, and the hours he set aside for becoming acquainted with his nephew were equally regular.

Feeling dreadfully ill at ease, her face hotly flushed, Sarah lifted up on to all fours and then back on to her heels. Then she discovered that squinting up at Alex from that angle merely made him more intimidating and she hurriedly sprang upright, skimming taut hands down over her jean-clad hips, tugging at the T-shirt, still dampfrom Nicky's bath, conscious that it was clinging to her braless breasts.

'If you turn him into a sensitive, loving, romantic guy,' Alex drawled with lashings of sarcasm, 'he'll be a pushover for every gold-digger in Europe.'

'I don't see why,' she muttered helplessly, staring at his scarlet silk tie. 'Those kind of p-personality traits do not exclude intelligence and caution-----'

'They do in my book.' Alex released his breath in a sudden hiss. 'Look at me...'

Sarah swallowed hard and did so. And that ghastly weak-at-the-knees sensation took over just as she had feared it would. She connected with dark golden eyes and the world started to spin and her mind went terri-fyingly blank. Worse, every quivering skin cell went shamelessly on red alert. She had worked incredibly hard at willing these things to stop happening to her, but so far she could not feel that success was within reach. It was gruesome... all her life to have rejoiced in supreme self-control and then to be presented with Armageddon in the shape of a mere male.

Every time she looked at Alex he got more gorgeous. She searched for a flaw and couldn't find one. She reminded herself of how in every field he failed her standards for the mythical ideal man and still she was plunged into this appallingly adolescent state of sexual awareness every time he came within ten feet of her! She felt like an arsonist holding dry paper, desperate for the match to ignite her conflagration.
