Chapter Seven

Vittorio returned home on Wednesday morning. After talking to Sabrina on the phone, there had been a collapse in negotiations. The last few days he’d had to work hard to save the bank’s reputation and was sleep-deprived, mentally exhausted and wanted to escape to the quiet of his book-lined study. But there was the interview that he absolutely, definitely wanted to go well. The girls needed a firm disciplinary hand and demanding academic requirements. But if the girls were gone away, that would mean Sabrina had to leave. That’s not what he wanted. He liked her. He liked having her in the house, at the pool, at the dinner table. He just liked her.

The girls were on the terrace looking down at him and waving. He couldn’t remember the girls ever greeting him with enthusiasm after a business trip. Why should they? He wasn’t a very big part of their lives. And why today when they faced the possibility of going to boarding school at his request? Maybe because they were determined to fail the interviews. He wouldn’t put it past them to thwart his efforts whatever way they could.

He’d wanted to kiss her the first day he saw her get off the ferry dripping wet, her clothes plastered against her ripe curves. Right now he wanted to take her in his arms, hold her tight and taste her lips. He wanted to whisper in her ear he was glad to be home. Of course he didn’t. She’d be shocked. She was his nanny. She was a professional. And his children were hanging over the balcony watching their every move. They would get the wrong idea.

“Welcome home,” Sabrina said breathlessly as if she had read his thoughts.

He stopped and took a deep breath while the world he’d left behind faded away. He hadn’t been gone that long, and yet something had changed. Was it him or was it her? She looked like she was dressed for casual summertime, like she belonged here at the lake and he in his business suit, felt like he didn’t belong.

He had no time to go to his room to change or even to his office to leave his briefcase, because the
