Bought: The Greek's Innocent Virgin
As he frowned down at her beautiful face, he noticed that her eyes were dazed and her cheeks were flushed. Her fingers were locked into the fabric of his shirt, as if for support.
Aware that he was fast approaching the point where he’d be prepared to risk a conviction for committing an indecent act in a public place, Angelos released her. ‘No Parisian will intervene in a lovers’ quarrel, agape mou. They know that the path of true love rarely runs smoothly, and by now they are all longing to see me ride roughshod over your objections and go for the happy ending.’
Without waiting for her response, he took her arm, controlling her easily with one hand while he used the other to open the car door.
As he propelled her into the passenger seat, a woman watching gave an envious sigh and turned to her friend.
‘L’amour,’ she said, and Angelos gave a grim smile as he slid into the driver’s seat and started the engine.
Not l’amour, he thought viciously as he trod hard on the accelerator and made for the hotel.
Not l’amour at all.
What he had in mind had a much less romantic description attached to it.
CHAPTER THREE
WHAT did he want with her?
The living room of his penthouse suite was bigger than her entire flat, and looked out over the whole of Paris. It was a view that only the privileged few ever enjoyed, and at any other time Chantal would have been enchanted. But not now.
Her body was still in a state of helpless excitement following that one devastating kiss.
If dancing with him had been erotic, then kissing him had been—
She couldn’t find a word for it.
Her legs still trembling, she looked around for somewhere solid to prop herself. She needed the support just in case he kissed her again.
But that wasn’t going to happen, was it?
He wasn’t even looking at her. Instead he was staring in brooding silence down into the streets below.
Her tongue sneaked out and touched her lower lip, still slightly swollen from the bruising force of his kiss. She was well aware that he’d used the kiss as a means of distracting their audience, but that knowledge in no way diminished the chemistry that had exploded between them.
