CHAPTER FIFTEEN

BLAKE WAS TORN between seducing her and slapping her. ‘Don’t be ridiculous,’ he snapped.

‘Don’t call me ridiculous,’ she fired back at him. ‘You wanted the truth and I told it to you. I’m sorry if you find it “pathetic” to love someone enough not to want to be with anyone else. No doubt when Claudia dumped you, you went out and shagged everything in sight. But I’m not like that. My feelings run a little deeper.’

‘Should I get the violins out now?’

‘Oh!’ she said, stunned by his insensitive attitude.

Her fingernails dug into her upper arm whilst she struggled with the urge to actually stamp her feet. The only thing stopping her was the fact that he would think her pathetically childish if she did.

‘Might I remind you that you would have been quite happy for me to shag you last night?’ he threw at her.

Her arms unfolded in a flurry and she strode up close to him, her dark eyes flashing with fury. ‘Trust you to bring that up. I was drunk. You know I was drunk.’

‘Not at first, you weren’t. That only came later—after you’d been screwed up by your sweet sister. You wanted me when we were dancing, sweetheart, and don’t pretend you didn’t. You still want me.’

‘I do not. I definitely do not. I... I...’

He’d had enough of this—enough of wanting this girl and having to wait until she accepted the fact that she wanted him back. Without hesitation he pulled her into his arms and kissed her, his mouth quite brutal with frustration and a wild, flaring passion.

She froze at first, but then she melted into him, moaning as her arms slid up around his neck, her high, softly rounded breasts pressing hard into his chest. Her gesture of surrender calmed his fury and his mouth gentled on hers, his hands sliding up under her jumper to caress the bare flesh of her lower back. He felt her shiver, then felt himself swell to alarming proportions.

I’m going too fast, came the stern warning. I have to slow down. Have to. Going too fast isn’t going to work with this girl.

She might not be a virgin, but she was close to it.

Kate groaned when his head lifted. She didn’t want him to stop. She’d never been kissed like that in her life. And it had been mind-blowing.

‘So,’ he said with a wry smile, ‘before I go on I have a question I must ask you.’

‘What?’ she asked, her voice sounding dazed.

‘Do you want to?’

‘Do I want to what?’

He laughed. ‘Have you forgotten already the deal we had? The one where we would only have sex if you wanted to.’

‘Oh. Oh, yes. No. I mean, yes. I did forget about that.’

‘So do you want to?’

‘Yes,’ she said, her heart pounding in her chest.

‘You won’t accuse me later of taking advantage of you? Or bribing you into bed with a part in one of my movies?’

‘No.’

‘Good. Now, I think this is cause for celebration. I’m sure I saw a bottle of champagne in the fridge earlier.
