As he’d said it was all systems go in the office next morning.

‘How can you leave so soon, when you’ve barely got here?’ Olympia protested.

‘But I’m only obeying orders,’ he said innocently. ‘Just a humble cog in the Leonate wheel, doing as I’m told, that’s me.’

‘Why don’t I find that convincing?’

‘Maybe you’re just not a very good judge of character,’ he said simply.

From then on packing and making arrangements about her apartment occupied all her time, and when she finally closed the door to start the journey to the airport she hadn’t seen him for two days. She had to take a taxi. He didn’t even bother to collect her.

She was glad of the time apart. It gave her a breathing space to get her ideas together and remind herself what really mattered. He was attractive, no doubt about it, but so what? She could enjoy a flirtation without compromising her mission, couldn’t she?

But then these cool thoughts would be invaded by memories that were anything but cool: the way he’d held her in his arms, the fierce crushing kiss with a hint of some suppressed feeling that might have been desperation, the skilled movements of his lips, knowing so well how to incite her to respond.

He knew her too well. He could speak to her in a silent language they both understood. He was dangerous. She must escape him.

But she was glad with all her heart that he was coming with her.

He was waiting at the airport, greeting her with an air of tension that puzzled her.

‘Are you all right?’ she asked.

‘Fine, fine. Just not too keen on flying.’

In fact he was an excellent traveller, but he’d just completed what he promised himself would be the last, the very last piece of trickery.

Realising that his ticket would be provided in the name of Cayman, he’d intercepted it when it had been delivered to the office the previous day, then booked himself another ticket in his true name and got to the airport early to collect it.

Now he was vowing that it would all soon be over. Safe in Naples, he would confess everything to Olympia over a glass of wine. They would share a laugh, and she would forgive him.

Eventually.

And he would never tell another lie as long as he lived. His nerves couldn’t stand it.
