CHAPTER NINE

DAMIÁN LIFTED HIS head to stare into the blue eyes that had captured him before they’d even met. The expression shining from them perfectly matched his own feelings. Drugged. Mia’s blonde hair spilled all around her like a silk cloud.

He placed the lightest of kisses to her lips. ‘I need to get rid of the condom,’ he murmured.

She sighed and dragged her fingers through his hair.

‘I’ll be right back,’ he promised.

For the first time in his life, Damián found his body didn’t want to move. Didn’t want to break the connection still binding them together.

In the privacy of his bathroom, heart thumping hard, he took a moment to compose himself. He splashed water on his face, patted it dry with a towel and took some deep breaths.

This was for the best, he decided. Making love with Mia. He needed to get these furious feelings for her out of his system before they had to face his family and hunt down the hidden documents.

But when he stepped back into the bedroom and found her sitting upright against the headboard holding the bedsheets tightly to her chest the thumping in his heart turned to thunder.

Dark colour stained her cheeks. Her voice was husky. ‘Do you want me to go to my room?’

He swallowed. ‘No.’ Dios, he needed to touch her again. ‘Are you okay?’

She bit her lip. ‘I think so.’

‘I’m sorry...’

‘Don’t.’ Her hands flew to her burning cheeks. ‘Don’t apologise. We both wanted it.’

Unbelievably, her words made his blood thicken all over again. ‘Why didn’t you tell me?’

Her fingers tightened on her cheeks. ‘I kind of did.’

He raised a brow, no idea why he found her comment amusing. ‘“Kind of did”? Mi vida, you asked me to be gentle right at the moment. Did you forget to tell me why you wanted me to be gentle?’

Now she covered her entire face and groaned. ‘I kind of hoped you wouldn’t notice.’

‘I probably wouldn’t have,’ he said honestly, climbing onto the bed beside her and pulling her hands off her face to hold them in his. ‘I’ve never bedded a virgin before.’

‘Yuck. Bedded? You really do use some strange language.’

‘English is not my first language, and you, mi vida, are an expert at deflecting.’

‘What am I deflecting?’

‘Why you didn’t tell me you were a virgin.’

‘It’s not the kind of thing you drop into conversation.’

‘True. But that only counts if you’re not about to fall into bed with someone.’

‘I didn’t know I was going to fall into bed with you until it happened.’

That was also true. Neither of them had prepared for it. It had just happened and, for all the self-loathing curdling in his guts at his failure to resist the Mia-shaped temptation, Damián could not bring himself to regret it. ‘Are you going to tell me why?’

‘I just did...’

‘No, mi vida, I mean are you going to tell me why you’re a twenty-four-year-old virgin? You have to admit, it is a strange thing in the modern world.’

‘Don’t worry,’ she said in a strangely high pitch.
