CHAPTER TEN

‘SO WHERE have you parked your car?’ Rico asked as he guided Renée swiftly through the open-air car park towards his Ferrari. Rico having been late for the races, his car was not exactly close.

‘I didn’t bring my car,’ she confessed breathlessly. She was having some difficulty in keeping up in those ridiculous shoes. ‘I came in a taxi.’

‘Why’s that?’

‘It seemed silly to bring my car when I knew you would be taking me home after the races.’

‘Aah. A girl who plans ahead. I like that.’

‘Oh, I always plan ahead.’

I don’t doubt it, Rico thought cynically, but didn’t say so. They’d reached his car and he didn’t want to start an argument.

‘I expect you to stay with me for the rest of the weekend,’ he told her as he helped her into the passenger seat.

She jerked her head up to stare at him, and again that odd moment of panic flashed into her eyes. But it was gone as quickly as it had come. ‘In that case, I’ll need you to take me home first.’

‘Why’s that?’

‘I’ll want a change of clothes. And some nightwear.’

He closed the passenger door and walked round to climb in behind the wheel before he looked at her again.

‘You won’t be needing any nightwear,’ he said firmly, his eyes brooking no opposition.

Her blush astounded him.

He wanted to kiss her at that moment, but he knew if he did he would not be able to stop. And the front of a Ferrari was no place for lovemaking at all, let alone the kind he had in mind.

‘Unless, of course,’ he added, hoping to break the tension of the moment with some humour, ‘you own a clinging black satin nightie with no back, even less front, and straps that refuse to stay on your shoulders.’

His goal was achieved because she laughed, her eyes sparkling with return mischief. ‘No, but I do own a black satin corset, which has a built-in half-cup push-up bra and is so high-cut I had to have a full wax this morning before I could wear it today.’

Rico groaned and tried not to picture how she would look when he peeled that dress off her.

‘I also have some red chiffon baby-doll pyjamas which you can see right through and which I’ve lost the panties to.’

‘Stop!’ he protested, then grinned and shook his head. ‘And you called me a wicked devil.’

‘I’m just being a good little mistress.’

‘I think you’re trying to make me fall in love with you,’ he jested, then worried she might be doing just that.

Her startled expression showed he was way off-base.

‘Then you’d be dead wrong, lover,’ she confirmed.

‘What about my money?’ he asked, using the opportunity to pry a little. ‘You interested in that?’

‘Even less than I am in your falling in love with me. Look, we could go tit-for-tat here for ages, like we usually do. But, quite frankly, I’m sick and tired of all that. We’ve been acting like children around each other for far too long. If it makes you feel any better, I don’t dislike and despise you as much as I thought I did.
