Surprise engulfed Cleo because she had not appreciated that he was already prepared to make such a serious commitment to the little girl.

‘Giving my niece a home means that much to me,’ Ari admitted in a driven undertone. ‘Her parents were unable to take care of her and do what was best for her. Until I can track down my half-sisters, there’s nobody else in the world likely to be as interested in that little girl as I am. I can’t let her down the way her parents did. I can’t turn my back on her just because I’m single and inexperienced with children. I can rise to a challenge as well as any other man. Bringing her up as a Stefanos is the only thing I can do now for the little brother I never had the chance to meet.’

Involuntarily, Cleo was impressed. Ari had thought the situation through in depth and acknowledged the difficulties ahead, but he was still keen to give his niece the advantages that his own father had chosen not to offer the children born of his second family.

‘If you move into the house, I promise not to try and take advantage of the situation,’ Ari declared. ‘And you know I want you and that it will be a battle to keep my distance...’

Cleo flushed to the roots of her hair, awareness shimmering through her in a heady swell, but she was shocked by the suggestion that she actually move into his house. She understood why he was asking, because if she lived under the same roof nobody in authority was likely to question the veracity of their relationship. Even so, it was a huge ask for him to make. Her nipples prickled and tightened and, as she connected with his spectacular tawny eyes, her heartbeat thundered and a bolt of sensual heat surged between her taut slender thighs. The wanting, she was painfully conscious, was not one-sided. Unfortunately for her, being angry with Ari didn’t stifle her desire for him. It never had. He made her angry, but he still inflamed her.

‘But I will do nothing to make you uncomfortable,’ Ari swore, his lean, dark features taut. ‘If you decide to agree to this arrangement, you will have your own bedroom, your privacy, whatever else you require. You will have no bills, nothing to worry about. I will take care of everything.’

Cleo gazed back at him in astonishment at the suggestion. Live in that fabulous house without expense or expectations being attached? For anyone in her precarious financial position it was a prize-winning proposition. It would allow her to build up some savings, something that she had always wanted to do but had never achieved, living as she did from job to job, just about managing to keep her head above water on a day-to-day basis. ‘How long would I have to live there for?’ she asked abruptly.

‘At least a few months,’ Ari replied. ‘Right now, I can’t be more accurate than that.’

Cleo frowned.
