CHAPTER SIX

THEO GLANCED AT his watch and eyed the suite of rooms which Becky had been inhabiting with a hint of impatience.

His driver was waiting to take them to his private jet and he’d now been waiting for twenty minutes. Theo was all in favour of a woman’s right to be late, except Becky wasn’t that type, so what the hell was keeping her?

The vague dissatisfaction that had been plaguing him for the past forty-eight hours kicked in with a vengeance and he scowled, debating whether he should go and bang on her door to hurry her along.

The fact was that he had seen precious little of her since she had arrived at his apartment. They had discussed the nuts and bolts of what they would be doing but she had firmly rejected his offer to accompany her to the shops to buy a replacement wardrobe. She didn’t want to do it in the first place, she had mutinously maintained, and she certainly wasn’t going to have him traipsing around in her wake telling her what she could or couldn’t wear. It was bad enough that he wanted her to try and project a persona she didn’t have.

She’d made it quite clear that her decision to go along with the charade was one she had almost immediately regretted, and he’d been left in no doubt that only the prospect of having an uncertain future sorted out was the impetus behind her act of generosity. In other words, she’d been drawn by the offer of financial assistance. He was, above all else, practical. He could appreciate her sensible approach. He was grateful for the fact that there were absolutely no misplaced feelings of wanting more than the lucrative deal he had offered her. So, sex was off the agenda? He certainly wouldn’t be chasing her although it was highly ironic that they were no longer physically intimate when they were going to have to convince his mother that they were.

He caught himself thinking that it would have been a damned sight more convenient if they had just fallen into bed with one another, for they were supposed to be a loved-up item, and then was furious with himself because he knew that he was simply trying to justify his own weakness.

If he’d thought that seeing her out of her comfort zone, an awkward visitor to his world, would cure him of his galloping, unrestrained libido, then he had been mistaken.

He still felt that he had unfinished business with her and for once his cool, detached, analytical brain refused to master the more primitive side of him that wanted her.

Had she brought a uniform of shapeless jumpers and faded jeans in a targeted attempt to ensure that he didn’t try and make a pass?

Had she honestly thought that he would have forgotten what that body had felt like under his fingers?

He had become a victim of intense sexual frustration and he loathed it.

He wondered what she had bought to take to Italy
