The sofa in the end made quite a comfortable bed, and even though Sabrina hadn’t expected to be able to relax enough to sleep she found herself drifting off regardless. Molly was asleep in her pram nearby, and apart from the occasional snuffle she slept soundly until about four in the morning, when she began to whimper on and off.

When it was clear Molly wasn’t going to settle back down again, Sabrina turned on a lamp and changed the baby’s nappy before heating her bottle. Once Molly was fed, Sabrina sat on the sofa and gently rocked the pram with her foot to settle the baby back to sleep.

The front door opened and Mario came in, still dressed in the clothes he had been wearing earlier, although he’d pulled his shirt free from the waistband of his trousers. His hair looked as if he had run his fingers through it several times, and his jaw was heavily shadowed with stubble. Although his eyes had shadows beneath, they still contained a devilish light when they collided with hers.

‘Waiting up for me, sweet Sabrina?’ he asked.

She gave her eyes a quick roll of disdain. ‘I can see why you have booked the largest suite in the hotel—no doubt it is to make room for your ego.’

Mario laughed as he undid a couple of buttons on his shirt. ‘And I can see how it might be rather fun being married to you. The challenge of taming that quick tongue of yours could prove to be very entertaining.’

Sabrina threw him a filthy look. ‘I can’t stand men who think they can control the women in their lives.’

‘Ah, but you are not really the woman in my life, are you, Sabrina?’ he said. ‘But perhaps you would like to be, sì? That would be the icing on the cake, would it not? A rich man for a husband, a child thrown into the bargain and a lifestyle other people only dream about.’

She gave him a withering look. ‘I can think of nothing worse than being tied to you.’

A light of challenge came into his eyes. ‘I think you are playing a very clever game,’ he said. ‘No doubt you have played it many times before. But with me, young lady, you have taken on much more than you realise. I am not going to be manipulated by you. I know what you want and how far you will go to get it. The next thing, you will be telling me you are in love with me and want our marriage to continue indefinitely.’

She rolled her eyes. ‘As if.’

Mario smiled. He liked nothing better than a woman who was quick with a come back; it showed a level of intelligence that was a match to his. Sabrina’s feisty nature was becoming increasingly attractive to him. He was so used to women simpering around him, bowing to his demands without a whimper of protest.

Sabrina on the other hand fought him tooth and nail, snarling at him like a cat cornered by a snapping terrier.
