CHAPTER SEVEN

‘WHAT ABOUT FLORA?’ It sounded like a last-ditch chance to back off and Stefano looked at her with a shuttered expression, as though he could read straight into her mind and pull the thoughts from her head.

‘Cold feet?’ he asked, without bothering to beat around the bush.

‘No!’

‘Sure about that?’

‘One hundred per cent sure.’

‘Even though I’m not the sort of person you should get involved with?’

‘This isn’t about involvement, is it?’ Sunny could scarcely believe she was saying this stuff. She’d done a complete U-turn in the space of a heartbeat. She would never have imagined for a second that lust could be this powerful—powerful enough to bring all her well-laid plans crashing to the ground.

But she was safe emotionally and for that she was grateful. Her body might be clamouring for adventure but her heart was still switched on enough to know that the real guy for her would not be Stefano Gunn or anyone like him.

‘It’s just...a one-night stand...’ She thought of her fumbling, embarrassing forays into sex, when she had been going out with John. If she’d had the slightest amount of experience she would have known that the missing link had been...this. The missing link had been the wild beating of her heart, the aching of her body, the searing excitement at the thought of being touched...

If she’d had the slightest amount of experience, she would have realised that what made perfect sense on paper didn’t necessarily translate into perfect sense in practice.

She was here, barely able to breathe for the excitement, and she knew that this would have to be part of the equation when she met any man she felt she could have a long-term relationship with.

It wasn’t just about personality but it was about this as well, without which the personality on its own didn’t stand much of a chance.

They were heading up the staircase, softly and quickly, her hand in his. At the top of the staircase, the broad, airy corridor went right for the wing of rooms in which Flora had her bedroom suite and left where Stefano had his rooms.

In her mind’s eye, she could picture his huge super-king-size bed and her heart skipped a beat.

She knew that Flora would be sound asleep. Once her head hit the pillow, she slept the deep sleep of a child but on the one occasion when she had had a broken night and Sunny had asked her, the following evening, what she had done, Flora had simply said that she had read until she had fallen asleep again.

His room was in darkness but, instead of switching on the overhead light, he turned on the lamp by the bay window, leaving the curtains open so that weak moonlight filtered into the room.

In the grip of nervous tension, Sunny hovered by the door, which he had quietly shut behind them.

She thought that she might have forgotten how to have sex. Was that possible? A bubble of hysterical laughter threatened...

Looking at her, Stefano could see that she was as nervous as a kitten.
