CHAPTER SEVEN

VINCENZO OPENED THE door and waited for Abby to pass before he entered. But when he saw the sway of her hips, he had to fight the urge to wrap her in his arms and pull her body into him.

Never in his marriage with Michelina, let alone with the other women in his earlier years, had he known such an intense attack of desire, and without the slightest hint of provocation on Abby’s part. She’d done nothing to bring out this response in him.

Somewhere along the way his feelings for her as a friend had turned into something entirely different. Perhaps it was the knowledge that she was leaving the palace tonight that had unleashed the carnal side of his nature. Maybe it was the reality of the baby now that he had the pictures in his possession, knowing it lived inside her body.

Her father was a red-blooded man who’d probably warned her ages ago not to go out on the yacht with him. Vincenzo’s own father, a man with several quiet affairs in his background, had no doubt made it easy for Abby’s father to leave his service to be certain no misstep was taken.

Vincenzo got it. He got it in spades. But the ache and longing for her had grown so acute, it actually frightened him.

While she was in her bedroom, he phoned the kitchen to have some sandwiches and salad brought up to the room. “This is Signorina Loretto’s last evening in the palace. Tonight she’s moving back to Signor Loretto’s apartment on the grounds. You’ll be delivering her meals there from now on when she requests them.”

“Very good, Your Highness.”

Having quieted that source of gossip for the moment, Vincenzo hung up and went looking for Abby. “I ordered some sandwiches to be brought. While we’re waiting, what can I do to help?”

She had several suitcases on the bed and had already emptied her dresser drawers. “Well...there’s not much to take. I left most of my things at Dad’s. Maybe if you would empty my CDs and DVDs from the entertainment center. I’ll clean out the things in the den myself. The men will have to bring some boxes to pack all my books and Michelina’s paintings.” She handed him an empty shoulder bag.

She had an impressive collection of operas, from Madame Butterfly to Tosca. Her choice of movies was as varied as the different traits of her personality. He packed all but one of them and went back to the bedroom. “You enjoyed this?”

Abby glanced at the cover. “24? I absolutely love that series. Have you seen it?”

“Yes, and I found it riveting from beginning to end.”

Her eyes exploded with light. “Me, too! Did you see the series about the signing of the peace accord?” He nodded. “That was my favorite. Even my father thought it was good, and that’s saying a lot considering the kind of work he’s in. He only picked apart half of the things in it that bothered him.”

A chuckle escaped Vincenzo’s lips.
