Bianca could not stop staring at Adam as he led her back towards the bank of lifts which would carry them down to the basement car park. Partly because he looked incredibly handsome—wherever had that gorgeous grey suit come from?—but mostly because of the expression on his face. There was something dark and dangerous lurking in his cold, yet strangely hot grey eyes. Something... wicked.

Adam being wicked held a kind of shocked fascination—especially since Bianca had spent her entire life thinking of him as a bit of a goody-twoshoes. Clearly he was far from that.

Still, his being wicked could be fun. She’d actually enjoyed herself back in the boutique, had revelled in the whole dressing-up game. Yet the finished result was a far cry from the classily dressed My Fair Lady, off to Royal Ascot. She looked more like Suzie Wong, ready for a night on the town. If her mother could have seen her, she’d have had a pink fit! She’d certainly be asking her daughter some pertinent questions.

Bianca herself was determined not to let Adam keep sidestepping her own questions.

‘Mind telling me what’s going on, darling?’ she asked saucily as they waited for the lift doors to open. ‘Do you make a habit of tarting up your female friends for an afternoon at the races? Or is this charade just for me, for some reason?’

His smile was irritatingly sardonic. ‘Now don’t be tedious and start asking more useless questions. I have no intention of answering them.’

Which was another thing that was bothering her. This increasingly enigmatic and uncooperative side of Adam’s character. She’d been so right when she’d thought him a stranger before. He was.

‘The least you can do is tell me where you got your suit from?’

‘Why?’

‘Because I want to know! Did you rent it? Yes, I’ll bet you did. Like you rented that tux you were wearing last night. There’s a clothes rental shop in this building, isn’t there?’

The lift doors opened and he walked in, turning to smile at her from the far corner. ‘Just get in, Bianca.’

Pursing her lips together, she tried to stalk in with her usual long stride, only to wobble on the appallingly high heels she was wearing. ‘Watch it,’ he said, reaching out to steady her.

She wrenched her arm away and glared her temper at him. ‘If I wasn’t wearing these tart’s shoes, I’d be fine.’

‘I didn’t ask you to wear them. Not with the red silk, anyway,’ he added drily.

‘I could hardly wear my old trainers. Or nothing at all!’

‘No, nothing at all would not have been suitable.’

‘Neither was that disgusting black dress I was poured into—the one you still bought.’ She rattled the large plastic shopping bag at him, which contained her old clothes plus the black bit of nothing. ‘If you think I’d ever wear that whore’s dress in public, then you have another think coming!’

‘I have no intention of letting you wear that particular number in public, Bianca. It’s for my eyes only.’

She blinked widely at him as an image of her parading around in private for him in the black mini popped into her mind.
