CHAPTER SIX

STRIDING INTO HIS BEDROOM, Luis resisted the urge to slam the door and instead began pacing frenetically across the floor. He felt as if he’d been hit by a truck. He could see his body and yet it seemed unconnected to his brain. Or rather the mass of tumbling, incoherent blink-and-you’d-miss-them thoughts that appeared to be all that remained of his brain.

What the hell had he been thinking?

Glancing down at the hard outline of his erection pressing against his trousers, he gritted his teeth. Not much, apparently. Or at least nothing that had anything to do with logic or common sense. His entire being had been focused on the need to take Cristina in his arms.

And not just for some hot, feverish kisses either.

The truth was that he had wanted her in the most basic, primitive way. Needed her in the same way that a starving dog needed a bone.

He started pacing again, his footsteps matching the thumping of his heart. It had been just like that night in Segovia—only this time the storm had been beneath his skin, a whirlwind of heat and desire, spinning out of control, whipping his senses until he’d had no choice but to reach out to her.

His chest was burning and he realised that he’d been holding his breath, his rapt body caught up in how it had felt to touch Cristina again, to lose himself in the sweetness of her kiss.

Remembering how she’d pushed him away, and the distance in her voice as she’d told him that she only wanted him because he was there, he felt his stomach clench. Not with anger—for that would have meant he thought she was telling the truth, and he knew without question that she had been lying to him.

Except, of course, the part when she’d told him that she wanted him to leave. She had wanted him to leave, but only because she didn’t want a witness to her pain. A week ago he would have believed her cover story—would have been drawn by the apparent confirmation in her words of who he thought she was: a hustler he had every reason not to trust.

Now, though, it wasn’t Cristina he was struggling to trust but himself.

An image of her face—pale, strained and young—slid into his head, and he felt his breathing quicken. Suddenly he was moving again, as though by doing so he could put some space between himself and that picture of her looking so tense and wary.

Had she wanted to, she could easily have seduced him. It would have been the perfect moment, for there was no way he could have resisted her. She had brought him to his knees...reduced him to nothing more than a rippling mass of impulses. His face felt suddenly hot with an almost adolescent shame as he remembered how effortlessly she had robbed him of his reason and resistance.

But hadn’t it been inevitable that it should happen? They’d been alone in her room, and they’d been tiptoeing around
