The Billionaire’s Naive Mistress Chapter 24
A savage wave of anger gripped Alejandro . That she should oppose him and put herself at risk in a ridiculous effort to protect another man only heightened his anger. But a glimpse of the apprehension in her expressive eyes snapped him straight back into control.‘Come home with me, then,’ he breathed tautly.‘I’m not going any place with you.’ Yet, Selena still couldn’t take her eyes off Alejandro . There was a light in his brilliant, brooding dark eyes that held her tighter than any chain. Slowly her attention stretched to encompass the impressive whole. In tailored black chinos worn with a striped designer shirt open at the neck, he looked absolutely gorgeous. As usual she was full of wildly conflicting responses. When she had believed he was about to thump Bryan she had been terrified and then madly relieved by his withdrawal. Now her anger escalated in direct response to the fierce emotions she had been suppressing all evening.‘I’m Bryan ...just by the way, in case anyone’s inte

‘I didn’t think you’d be interested in that information. She argued‘! Really, that’s the sort of information every man wants up front and you know it.’ Glittering dark eyes slashed over her with punitive force and she quailed. ‘And when you went sneaking off to see him tonight—’‘I did not sneak!’ Anger surged to Selena aid again.‘Yes, you did. It was much more than an innocent night out with a friend. How fair and decent was your behaviour?’‘According to some newspaper, you were out on the town with three other women last night, so what’s your problem? You can’t expect me to be truthful and decent when you’re out having fun with a bunch of sluts!’ Selena shot back at him full volume.‘You’re getting hysterical—’‘No, I’m giving you the truth you said you wanted and I don’t think you like it much!’‘Our agreement doesn’t give you the right to question my every move or make new rules,’ Alejandro delivered with icy conviction.‘That’s okay. I don’t care.’ Selena walked past him, a t
The Billionaire’s Naive Mistress Chapter 26
Like a sleepwalker, Selena scrambled up on unsteady legs, wrenching at her vest with one hand and going for her discarded jeans with the other. They hadn’t even got undressed, never even made it as far as a bedroom. She was embarrassed, hopelessly unsure of how to behave. Her mind was in total turmoil. Everything she had believed she knew about herself was being turned upside down. But she fought off her misgivings and reminded herself that Alejandro seemed to be making a genuine effort.After all, hadn’t he come looking for her this evening? He had been annoyed to find her with Bryan . Had he been jealous? Perhaps Alejandro was not quite as cold and unfeeling as his womanising reputation. Hadn’t he told her that she should be proud of the fact that he wanted her so much? Worrying at her full lower lip, she studied the sofa and reflected that he had not been exaggerating on that score. Maybe she was ridiculously old-fashioned. Maybe she needed to loosen up a little and stop fretting a

She woke with a start, unsure of her surroundings and of what might have wakened her. In a rush she remembered that she was in Alejandro’s house and she fumbled for the light switch by the bed. She was sitting up when she heard a disturbing sound from his room. A cry? Without further thought she slid out of bed and snatched up the shirt he had left in a careless heap. Hastily donning it, she opened the communicating door between their rooms.In the dawn light filtering through the shutters she could see Alejandro tossing and turning in the big bed. He was moaning something in his own language. The sheer terror in his voice grabbed her by the throat, shook her up and sent her flying straight to his side. She scrambled up on the mattress to get within reach of him and rested a soothing hand on his shoulder. His skin was as hot as fire.‘Alejandro ...wake up!’ she whispered urgently, shaking him slightly.Alejandro wrenched himself up in a sudden movement that startled her. He was trembl

Alejandro surveyed the heavily crowded room with concealed dissatisfaction. He wondered why it was that when fate gave him what he believed he had always wanted he should find it so irritating. Clingy women who remained welded to him like superglue in company had always exasperated him.In the course of a month, he had learned that Selena did not cling, stalk him round the room or continually seek ways to attract his attention. In fact, he sometimes felt like handcuffing her to his wrist or tagging her with a satellite navigation system he could use to locate her when he wanted her back by his side. When she got talking to his guests, she lost track of time. She was wildly popular with the garden enthusiasts and had to be regularly rescued from those who took advantage of her horticultural knowledge to request free advice and even personal visits.‘Where is she?’ Alejandro was finally forced to ask Chris.A few minutes later, his chief of security was at his heels, he strode out to th

Madly conscious of the warmth of his skin against hers and of the electric sparks of awareness in the atmosphere, Selena glanced up at him. The dark pupils of her blue eyes were dilated. Sensual tension sizzled through her, holding her still. She was on a high and although she tried she could not pull back from that intoxicating sense of energy and power while his smouldering tawny eyes burned over her with masculine appreciation.Alejandro bent his arrogant dark head to murmur thickly, ‘How do you do this to me?’Taunting heat pulsed at the heart of her. She felt so wicked she closed her eyes tight, fighting his electrifyingly sexual magnetism. ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about—’‘Ok dear. Let me show you.’ Snapping both hands over her wrists, Alejandro backed into the room behind him and drew her with him.The instant she registered his intention, Selena went rigid. She knew that hot, intent look on his lean, darkly handsome face. It filled her with an excitement she loathed.

‘I’m all right,’ she muttered awkwardly just as her mobile phone rang. ‘Excuse me...’It was her stepsister, Charlotte .‘We need to talk to you urgently,’ Charlotte declared in a sharp voice that made Selena’s heart sink like a stone and her anxiety level rise even faster. ‘It’s a family matter and I can’t discuss it on the phone. How quickly can you get down here?’‘I’ll get on the first available train tomorrow.’‘I have to go home for a couple of days,’ Selena told Angelo, anxiously wondering if the problem that her stepsister had refused to discuss related to the total breakdown of their respective parents’ marriage. ‘It’s a family crisis.’His lean, strong face austere, Alejandro frowned. ‘I’ll come with you.’Selena was painfully conscious of Alejandro’s attitude to her father, and could only think that Alejandro’s presence would increase the strain and embarrassment for all concerned. ‘Thanks, but I don’t think that’s a good idea. This is private family stuff.’Alejandro thoug

You now travel in luxury: a private helicopter for your sole use and a limo and driver to deliver you right to our door?’ Joshua Lynch awarded Selena an admiring smile across the depth of his spacious book-lined study. ‘I’m impressed. Obviously, Alejandro Perez thinks very highly of you.’‘I don’t know about that. I just missed my train.’ Selena was already wondering if Charlotte had exaggerated the family crisis because her father did not seem like someone in any trouble. Indeed he seemed quite relaxed. ‘Charlotte made the situation here sound grave and she was very mysterious. I’ve been really worried.’ She said while staring around for evidence that she had been lured here on false pretense.‘Then you’ll be relieved to learn that my current problem is only what you might call a footnote to that other business at Vento.’ The older man grimaced. ‘There I was in a hell of a bind and I did what most people in a financial crisis do—I borrowed just a little from Peter to pay Paul.’Selen
