CHAPTER EIGHT

ARI MADE SURE his words left no room for doubt or ambiguity. Which was laughable, considering he was nowhere near as stalwart under the barrage of the emotions coursing through him.

He’d firmly believed he had regained some control after yesterday’s incident. It was the reason he’d called to discuss business with her. He’d been so certain, after seeing her in that bikini and not jumping on her like some hormone-riddled teenager, he could see Perla, be within touching distance of her without experiencing that unbridled depth of yearning that seemed to claw up from his very soul.

A soul he’d believed withered and charred after Sofia...after his father...

But now, with her seductive, addictive warmth so close, her husky voice seeming to caress him whenever she spoke, he knew resisting this insanity wouldn’t be as easy as he’d thought.

But resist he had to. The guilt that had ridden him from the very moment he’d slept with Perla still resided beneath his chest. It fought savagely with his intense attraction but it never went away...

I remind you of something in your past...

She had no idea how accurate that was.

‘Okay, I’ll honour my contract. But, um...do you think we can get out of here? The valet attendants are beginning to get frantic at the backed-up traffic.’

A quick look in the rear-view mirror confirmed her words. With a twist of the wheel and a foot on the accelerator, he squealed out of his hotel’s driveway and onto the freeway. The sound of the throaty engine drowned out his thoughts for the precious few seconds it took to regain a little bit of his control.

Masculine pleasure at the purr of the powerful engine beneath him soothed his turbulent pulse and he inhaled slowly.

Next to rowing, alone or with his brothers, powerful engines like these were his passion. Except he didn’t get to indulge enough. It was probably why he’d succumbed to temptation—

Stasi! Enough with the excuses. Perla had hit the nail on the head. They’d been weak with temptation and he’d succumbed. Not once but twice. The only way to avoid being no better than his father would be to make sure it didn’t happen again.

‘Ari, could you slow down a little, please?’

A quick glance showed her death grip on the bucket seat. He cursed under his breath and eased off the pedal. ‘My apologies.’

She nodded and her fingers relaxed. ‘What did you want to talk to me about?’ she asked as he signalled off Connecticut Avenue and slid to a stop in front of the Greek restaurant. Perla didn’t know it but it was one of his favourite restaurants outside of his homeland.

As they were led in, he found himself following the line of her body again. The way her black dress hugged her tight behind, the way her black wrap caressed her shoulders and her black heels made her legs go on for ever.

His thoughts screeched to a halt. She was wearing black again. And not just a touch here and there but black from head to toe.
