CHAPTER SEVEN

* * *

Gina closed the door behind her friend and repressed a shiver.

Until later.

Massimo’s words, in that deep voice with the velvety undertone, held a promise she couldn’t ignore.

Did he mean to finish what he’d begun last night?

Her skin flushed with heat then cold as she recalled her unbridled responses. Massimo had awoken the girl she’d been seven years before, the gullible innocent who’d given her all to the handsome, charming man who’d introduced her to pleasure beyond her wildest imaginings. Who’d made her believe in happiness.

The whole time she’d sat, chatting with Angela, Gina had been aware of the jittery tingle of anticipation down her spine and the searing liquid heat between her thighs. One heavy-lidded look from Massimo’s glittering eyes, one casual promise in that rumbling low voice and she was turned on.

Despite knowing he was no good for her.

Despite her determination not to respond.

Last night she’d barely even tried to resist Massimo’s practised seduction.

Pain cramped her belly. How many women had there been since they separated? Massimo could seduce the birds from the trees and sane women into madness. Look at her, believing love could conquer all when her own childhood was proof that lust, not love, ruled and that men couldn’t be trusted to stay the course.

No, that wasn’t true. Matteo and Angela had had their problems but it was obvious they loved each other deeply. They shared more than physical desire. Love did exist.

That was Gina’s problem. She’d truly loved while to Massimo she’d been a passing attraction. A novelty.

‘I like your friend.’ Massimo’s voice was warm, rippling like a balmy wave across sensitive nerves.

Gina’s shoulders hitched up, the skin of her nape drawing tight and prickly. Slowly she turned to find Massimo on the other side of the sitting room. He’d shed his jacket and tie and undone the top few buttons of his shirt, giving her a tantalising glimpse of bronzed flesh.

She bit her bottom lip to stop a breathless gasp of excitement. But she couldn’t stop that melting sensation pooling between her legs. Because he looked better than ever. Because she’d spent all night imagining what would have happened if she hadn’t retreated to her room.

Because, despite the ruthless way he’d manipulated her, Massimo Conti still had the power to seduce her to the edge of insanity. The compulsion to close the distance between them and beg him to seduce her was almost overwhelming. Though it would be easier simply to seduce him. He’d always been breath-takingly ready for sex.

‘What do you want, Massimo?’ She crossed her arms, furious with her wayward self. ‘Shouldn’t you be working? With the runway show coming up I thought you’d be busy.’

He shrugged and she wished he hadn’t. In his shirt sleeves, with the cuffs rolled up to reveal sinewy forearms, the movement accentuated his powerful frame beneath the fine tailoring. Massimo was tall and lean rather than chunky and gym-pumped, but he was all hard-packed muscle.

Dismayed, Gina registered another ripple of response low inside.

‘You’re right.
