Chapter 15

Fear skidded down her spine. She didn’t do lust. Not like this. And not with a man like Christian Edwards.He smiled as she approached and the pale scar on one side of his face disappeared into the groove running up his cheek. Just like that white heat shimmered through her feminine core. She blinked, stumbling a little on an uneven flagstone, and reminded herself she was too furious to feel attraction.Nevertheless, she wished she’d taken time to hunt out a pair of heels so she didn’t have to tilt her chin to look at him.‘Elena, you’re looking particularly vibrant today.’‘Vibrant?’ She shook her head. ‘The word is angry.’‘It suits you.’ His smile didn’t falter. If anything he looked satisfied. But despite the smile there was something guarded about his expression. His eyes held secrets.Not surprising, given the games he played. She’d give an awful lot to know what they were.
