CHAPTER SEVEN

THE NEXT NIGHT, as they walked into the large, elegant ballroom of a grand hotel on the Gran Vía, Lola kept sneaking glances at her husband on her arm.

Over the last twenty-four hours, they’d made love six times. Before she’d even stopped blushing from the shocking sexual encounter in the luxury clothing boutique they’d barely gotten home when Rodrigo had started kissing her again. In the great room with its view of the autumn colors of Retiro Park, Rodrigo had pulled her onto the sofa, and made love to her, this time taking off his own clothes, with gentle, seductive urgency.

Later that night, once their baby was properly asleep in his crib and they had hours to call their own, Rodrigo had made love to her again, slowly, lingeringly caressing every inch of her. As if they had the rest of their lives to enjoy each other.

Which they did.

Lola didn’t understand how any woman could ever be unfaithful to Rodrigo. And she wasn’t the only one, apparently. Even his ex that she’d spoken with on set yesterday, the famous actress Pia Ramirez, had seemed bewildered by it.

“So you’re Rodrigo’s new wife,” the older actress had said. “I’d started to think he would never marry.”

“And you’re the one who cheated on him,” Lola had replied bluntly. The other woman’s eyebrows raised, as if she were trying to decide whether to be offended; then she’d sighed.

“I loved Rodrigo, with the impetuous love of the young. He was working, chasing his empire. While he was gone—” she’d lifted her hands helplessly “—a handsome actor started paying attention to me every day. He said he was desperately in love, that he would die for me. But after he got me into bed, somehow, pictures were sent of us to Rodrigo.” She’d looked away. “I’m happy now, married with a family. But I still wonder sometimes who sent those photos. And who that man was. I never saw him again. But he destroyed everything.”

“You destroyed it,” Lola said coldly. Then her phone buzzed, and she’d been distracted by funny messages from Tess and Hallie in New York, begging her to come for Thanksgiving.

But the more Lola thought about it, the more confused she was by the whole thing. She looked up at him now, in the gilded ballroom of the grand nineteenth-century hotel. How could anyone betray Rodrigo?

He looked impossibly attractive, dressed in a sleek tuxedo that accentuated the hard, powerful shape of his muscular body. Even now, while he was surrounded by people congratulating him on getting his award, his dark eyes lingered on Lola in the slinky, low-cut red dress she’d chosen from the boutique.

He’d helped her put it on tonight in their bedroom. Then, after taking one look at her, he’d helped her swiftly take it off again. Which is why they’d arrived twenty minutes late. Her cheeks went hot, remembering.

It wasn’t like her to blush. But her husband did that to her. He peeled away her defenses, leaving her trembling and gasping and hot.
