CHAPTER EIGHT

WHAT A DIFFERENCE a day could make. Or a night. A night when Loukas had seemed determined to show Jessica everything she’d been missing.

Sex.

Her throat dried.

A devastating masterclass in desire and satisfaction.

She had hardly slept a wink and by rights she should have felt terrible when she met the crew to resume shooting the following morning. But terrible was the last thing she felt. She felt alive. As if all her senses had suddenly exploded. The diamonds, which yesterday had hung like a millstone around her neck, today made her feel pampered and decadent as they glittered against her skin—and the close-fitting silk of her bodice no longer felt constricting. She was conscious of the way it clung to her breasts—thrusting them upwards and giving her a bit of a cleavage and reminding her of the way Loukas had licked his way over every inch of them during the sensual night they’d shared.

‘Wow,’ said the photographer softly as she stood in the gondola—only today she had no trouble keeping her balance, despite the rocking motion of the distinctive craft. And when she was told to pout and look dreamy, she had no problem with that, either. In fact, it was difficult to look anything but dreamy when all she could think about was the man whose black eyes had grown opaque and smoky as he had lowered his head to kiss her.

But kisses could blind you to the reality and she had to keep reminding herself that it had only been about sex—because how could it ever be anything else? He’d made it clear that experience had hardened him. That he had changed and now there was no room in his life for marriage. She thought about the way his voice had grown cold when she’d asked about children, and—bearing in mind the things he’d told her—could she honestly blame him for not wanting any? All the things he’d told her about his childhood made her aware of just how grim his early life must have been. No wonder he’d been so reluctant to speak about it in the past. And then to discover out of the blue that he had a twin brother—a discovery like that must have rocked his world.

So she was going to have to be very mature. To accept the person he was, and if last night was the only night they would ever share, then she would accept that, too. No tears. No regrets. And definitely no recriminations. She’d had her chance a long time ago and she had blown it. She had no one to blame but herself.

This time Loukas didn’t watch over the photo shoot, telling her he needed to work, before slipping away from her room in the early hours. She supposed he hadn’t wanted anyone to see him leaving, knowing that it might muddy the waters if the crew discovered that the CEO was sleeping with the model.

She spent the entire day being photographed, but that ice-cube feeling was a distant memory.
