CHAPTER SEVEN

'Going somewhere?' a deep, soft, beautifully accented voice questioned. 'How fortunate I managed to catch you, then.'

Jemma couldn't move. One hand had a white-knuckled grip on the door while the other had stalled in the process of throwing the strap of her bag over her shoulder. She was shocked—horrified. Yet, despite it all, her wide, staring eyes drank him up, her senses stinging into bright startling life as they recognised their master. He was wearing white, a white summer shirt and white cotton trousers, the complete lack of colour in the outfit only helping to enhance the rich dark brown of his skin. He looked big and lean, essentially sexual and innately dangerous.

Dangerous. She picked up the word and tasted it warily. Dangerous he certainly was. Pulsing with danger, throbbing with it, standing there smiling at her while his eyes burned with it.

She blinked and swallowed, trying to pull herself together. 'W-what are you doing here?' she heard herself asking foolishly. 'D-didn't you get my note?'

'Note? Yes, I got your—note,' he confirmed, then, while she still stood there staring at him, she watched as the danger metamorphosed itself into blinding anger. 'Inside,' he snapped, taking hold of her wrist to twist her fingers off the door so that he could push her back into the flat in front of him.

The door slammed shut. Jemma stood there trembling while he maintained his grip on her wrist, then he was pulling her into the sitting-room, before spinning her to face him and grasping her by the shoulders. 'Were you ever going to tell me?' he demanded harshly.

She sucked in a short, fast, shaky breath then let it out again, her heartbeat beginning to race out of control. 'I d-don't know what you're talking about,' she stammered constrictedly.

'No?' It was so quietly spoken, so silkily produced that he made her shiver in real fear of him for the first time. He moved, lifting his hands from her shoulders to spread them over her swollen stomach. She gasped at the blatant intimacy of the action, and his eyes burned darker. 'Then to whom does this belong?' he demanded.

'I...' She tried to move away but he stopped her simply by snaking one hand around her back and sandwiching her between the two. 'M-mine,' she whispered threadily. 'This baby is mine.'

'No father?' he mocked. 'An immaculate conception, maybe?'

She flushed at his sarcasm, but stubbornly clamped her lips together and lowered her eyes from the burning threat in his. But he waited. Oh, how he waited, drawing out the silence between them until she thought she could actually hear their child's heartbeat throbbing beneath his resting hand. Perhaps he thought the same thing, because his hand moved, stroking in a light caressing gesture as if to soothe the agitated child. And in answer the baby kicked and with a sharp intake of breath Leon went still.

'You feel that?' he enquired huskily. She nodded, swallowing. 'He speaks to his papa, agape mou. Are we to waste any
