CHAPTER NINE

ANNA WOKE TO REGRET.

It was a different kind of regret, though.

She hadn’t been woken with a kiss.

Nor by her sexy lover carrying a tray bearing breakfast in bed—or however this morning might have been had she given in to another night with him...

Instead, she woke alone, in gorgeous surroundings, and wished she’d been brave enough to say yes to Sebastián.

After they’d parted yesterday she had showered and pulled on new shorts and a top and wandered around Old Marbella. She’d found an odd shop tucked away that sold silk threads for her embroidery and cotton to re-stitch the backing of the blanket.

Then she’d found a café where they’d still been serving lunch. She’d sat under an umbrella at a table in gorgeous Orange Square, the very heart of the old town, and had ordered what she’d thought was a steak sandwich and a beer, because that had sounded very normal.

Nothing felt normal, though, she’d thought as she’d sipped on the tall, cool glass of beer and tried to tell herself that she was proud for resisting his charms.

But Anna had known she lied.

‘Your veal,’ the waitress had said, putting down her plate. ‘Buen provecho!’ Which Anna knew meant Enjoy your meal.

She would never have eaten veal at home. Not just because she couldn’t afford it, but it was the principle of the thing.

And yet it would seem veal had been ordered and served, so what was she to have done?

It had been delicious!

And it was her principles that had kept her alone in her villa last night, embroidering and sewing the blanket when she could have been making reckless love.

Yes, she regretted it—especially now, when she heard a knock at the door and opened it to the stunning sight of him in a deep navy suit, but no tie, looking too sexy for words.

Clearly he was about to head for Jerez.

‘Do you want to get something to eat?’ he offered. ‘Before I go back?’

‘I’m fine,’ Anna said, closing the door a little to block the view of her sewing that was laid out on the floor.

‘You don’t want to go to the restaurant, do you?’

‘Not particularly,’ Anna admitted.

‘Then we can go to the marina instead.’

‘Sebastián, please.’ She took a breath. ‘It’s hard enough as it is.’
