She stroked his dark head where it lay on the pillow and smiled a sleepy, smugly contented smile. Her back arched a little as he stroked a brown finger down the valley between her pink-tipped breasts.

His dark lashes lifted from the sharp angle of his cheekbones. "Why didn't you tell me...?"

Sam, who knew exactly what he was saying, closed her eyes and feigned innocence. Tell you what?"

"You have never been with a man, cara."

"I was hoping you wouldn't notice." She opened her eyes and saw no answering smile on his face. "Sorry if I was totally clueless, but..." She reached up and stroked his lean cheek, feeling the first stirrings of reawakened sexual interest as she recalled the abrasive sensation of his stubble on her burning skin as he worked his way down her body. "If you're willing to bear with me, I think I could be a very fast learner." Then, realising that she was making a lot of assumptions she had no right to make she added quickly, "Always supposing we ever...you...we decide..." Maybe he was already regretting it? Maybe he was wondering how to tell her she'd have to find someone else for lesson two?

"Perhaps we should get out our diaries and see if we have a spare afternoon?" he inserted, sounding unaccountably angry

"I don't have a diary." She held her breath thinking, That's his cue to say, And I don't have a spare afternoon.

He didn't.

"You should have told me..."

"Are you angry?" She looked at his face, memorising each plane and angle. "About the virgin stuff?"

The awkward addition made his lips quiver. "I'm not angry. I'm... I would have been gentler..."

"That would have been a pity." She laid her head on his chest and felt the vibration of his surprised laugh.

"Today was a first for us both."

She lifted her head. "It was?"

"I've never slept with a virgin before. The women I-"

"I know," she said quickly. "They're like you. That's the way I want to be," she told him, thinking, I can do this! "If you want me, that is... " She swallowed, trying and failing to read his expression.

"If I want you?" he echoed, sounding really strange. He rolled onto his back. She watched as he lifted a hand and then just lay there.

Sam stared at his chest, rising and falling. His hand fell away, and as he turned his head towards her she held her breath.

"Oh, I want you," he said thickly, and as he reached for her with a sigh of relief she went to him.

Much later, when the room had grown dark, Alessandro got up from the bed to throw a log on the dying embers of the fire. His tall, lean body was silhouetted against the dancing flames as he walked back to the bed.

My God, he's so beautiful!

"A fire in the bedroom is very.. .decadent," she murmured as she snuggled up to him.

Alessandro ran a finger down the supple curve of her spine, and in the dark she smiled.

Her smile guttered when he asked quietly, "Should we be worried?"

Sam knew immediately what he was talking about.
