No, it wasn’t. That was what Violet thought a month later. The night hadn’t ended and it was never going to end. He had stayed another three weeks, then had left without looking back, and her heart had broken in two, but broken hearts mended and hers would mend. He wouldn’t be around. He would never again be around.

How could she have known that there would be a price to pay for those stolen moments?

How could she ever have guessed that she would end up pregnant...?

CHAPTER SIX

‘MISS DUNN IS HERE.’

He’d been expecting her. She had emailed him from Melbourne. A brief email which had made no mention of the time they had spent together. She’d politely asked how things were progressing with the start-up company they had worked on and then, as an afterthought, had informed him that she would be coming to London and wondered whether he would be available to meet. There was something she felt she had to discuss with him face-to-face.

For Matt, that could have covered any number of topics. Was she after the job he had offered her, after all? It made sense, because she’d enjoyed the adrenaline rush of working under pressure out there, but then wasn’t that an easy enough topic to broach via email?

Maybe she was planning to return to London. Her father was back on track. Babysitting duties on the other side of the world could be winding up and it was possible that she might be after her old job. Trouble loomed on that front, if that were the case, because they’d slept together. Returning to their old relationship was not going to be possible. He hoped that she would have sufficient knowledge of how he operated to figure that out on her own.

Or maybe...

He relaxed back into his chair and thought, not for the first time since he had received her email, that she was interested in picking up where they had prematurely left off in Melbourne.

Regrettably, that too would be off the cards, because he knew that a casual relationship wasn’t her thing, even though they had been lovers for a while and she had made no mention of taking it any further.

Sex with his prim and proper ex-secretary had been mind-blowing. He’d never known anything like it in his life before. The taste of forbidden fruit had been scintillating, had appealed to his jaded soul on a lot of fronts, but he was realistic enough to recognise the dangers of prolonging that brief liaison, even though he had been sorely tempted. He wasn’t in the market for love and happy-ever-afters, but she was.

He would see where the conversation went, but there were few avenues he could think of that would be free of annoying complications.

‘Shall I show her up?’

He nodded at his PA who, contravening all rules and regulations of a company that promoted an informal dress code, was attired in a natty pinstriped suit and a bow tie. His dress code was a daily source of amusement for Matt.
