CHAPTER SIX

NICO WAS HAVING a hard time focusing. He put it down to the fact that he had his wife by his side for the first time since they’d married and he wasn’t used to being at a function with someone. But that wasn’t it. The reason he couldn’t focus was because when Chiara had appeared in the drawing room of the apartment a short time before she’d looked endearingly shy and uncertain. And...gorgeous.

She was a sleek and coiffed version of the woman who had walked down the aisle to marry him. Unrecognisable as the woman who had come to him that day in the villa in her boxy shirt and jacket and calf-length skirt. He wanted her just as much, if not even more, because he knew exactly what she was hiding under all that elegant packaging. A raw and earthy sexuality.

They stood amongst a throng of Rome’s elite society now, and more than one man’s glance had lingered on Chiara.

Her hair was pulled back on one side and coiled over the other shoulder in a shiny Hollywood wave. The vee of the dress drew the eye to her creamy cleavage. Nico had had to restrain himself from demanding she wear something less revealing, because he knew that she was probably the most chastely dressed woman in the room right now. And yet he looked at her and all he could think about was sex and how his body ached for her. Had been aching for five months. He’d never denied himself the pleasures of sex for that long.

He felt almost angry that the neat plan he’d devised to marry Chiara Caruso had all but blown up in his face.

Her arm was linked in his and he realised she was gripping him so tightly she was almost cutting off his circulation. He looked down at her and could see naked terror on her face. ‘Are you okay?’

She looked up at him and all he could see were those huge green eyes. How had he ever thought her nondescript?

‘I’ve never been to something like this before. I don’t know what to do or say.’

Nico’s conscience pricked. He could see the faint shadows under Chiara’s eyes. He’d whisked her out of Dublin, put her on a plane, and now she was here, at one of Rome’s highest society events of the year. There weren’t many who could swim easily in an environment like this.

And he could remember all too well what it had been like when he’d attended his first such event. He’d felt raw and uncultivated, and he’d been sure people were looking at him expecting him to steal the silver.

‘When was the last time you ate?’ He’d noticed that she hadn’t eaten on the plane. In fact he noticed now that apart from her bump she’d lost weight. She looked delicate.

She blinked. ‘Breakfast... I think.’

Irritation surged. ‘You’re not looking after yourself—or the baby.’

She turned to face him, pulling her arm free of his, eyes flashing. ‘I’m not the one who arrived like a whirlwind and gave me hardly enough time to pack, never mind eat.
