âI felt sorry for her. We'd had a brief fling, way in the past, no strings, no come-backs. But after it was
over she had done me favours in return for paymentâaccompanying you on those trips abroad when I'd been too busy pitching for new projects to spare the time. By then I knew I'd be flying out to Milan on the following morning so I told her to go to the apartment, and to ask the janitor, on the instruction I gave him, to let her in if for some reason you and I weren't there. Wanting somewhere to lay her lying head, she obviously moved in. The rest you know. Or is there anything else before I explode with frustration?'
He smiled but it was the smile of a jungle cat just about to pounce on its prey. Zoe loved it. Loved him and everything about him to pieces.
Tilting her head on one side, she squirmed against him. âJust one more question. Have you really got your strength back?'
His ragged groan, the expertise with which he lowered his mouth to kiss her senseless, were the perfect answer to her question.
