CHAPTER FOUR
âSEE YOU TOMORROW.â
Ava winced. Flynn had left her so casually.
Indignation welled, as it had all night. She avoided the mirror, knowing what sheâd see. Anger, but disappointment too, and a flush that felt disturbingly like arousal. All night sheâd been troubled by dreams that left her achy and longing.
Her lips pursed. What had she done wrong? Surely she hadnât misinterpreted his eagerness.
She shook her head. She was doing it again: rehashing last nightâs mortifying scene where heâd all but had to prise her hands off him.
As for his tight-lipped look as heâd said, âNot here, not now...â It was naïve to think heâd been put off by their surroundings. Flynn might wear hand-made shoes and exquisitely tailored clothes, but he came from a working class family. Sheâd seen their modest cottage on the estate. Thereâd been nothing pretentious about the Marshalls.
Whatever made him leave last night it wasnât her room. That only left her.
Pride told her it was ridiculous to think she was so unattractive sheâd scared him off. He hadnât found her unattractive when heâd kissed her.
Unless he hadnât really wanted to.
Sheâd invited him to her room.
Sheâd initiated the kiss.
Could she have got it wrong?
A knock at the door ended her circling thoughts.
Flynn? Her pulse thudded and she knew a cowardly desire to pretend she hadnât heard. Angry with herself, she put her shoulders back and marched to the door.
The man standing there was a foot shorter than Flynn and twice as wide. He held a boxed arrangement of exquisite peonies and camellias.
âMiss Cavendish?â
At her dazed nod he smiled and thrust the arrangement into her arms. Then with a half-bow he turned and headed downstairs before she had time to recover.
Cradling the flowers, Ava backed into her room. They were so perfect they didnât look real. But as she stroked a finger across one petal she was rewarded with a rich silken texture no man-made process could duplicate.
With unsteady hands she put them on the table. At once her small room morphed from economy class to luxurious and exotically enticing.
She plopped onto the bed.
In twenty-four years sheâd never been given flowers. How pathetic was that? Men sheâd dated had wanted to buy her drinks or meals, but never anything as romantic as flowers. These werenât just romantic, they were flagrantly, unashamedly so.
An image surfaced of blood-red long-stemmed roses in an expensive floristâs box. Ava shuddered and thrust the memory away. Those hadnât been a gift. Theyâd been a statement of possession.
She wrapped her arms around herself to dispel an inner chill and stared at the bloomsâlush, sensual and gorgeous. She plucked the card from them.
They reminded me of you.
No signature, but they had to be from Flynn.
Ava blinked. They reminded him of her? She looked at the voluptuous splendour of the peonies, full-bloomed and extravagant, yet with their soft pink tint so delicate and feminine. And the camelliasâpure white and elegant.
She frowned. Lush and voluptuous or neat and virginal?
How did Flynn view her?
Her figure was feminine, but hardly voluptuous.
