‘I plan everything, Inez,’ he replied simply.

She looked into his face. The indomitable determination stamped on Theo’s harsh features sent a wave of anxiety through her. She started to speak, to say the words that seemed unreal to her, and her mouth trembled. His gaze dropped to the telling reaction and she immediately clamped her lips together. Showing weakness would only get her eaten alive.

He laughed long and deeply. ‘Is that what you would call yourself?’

She flushed. ‘How else would you describe what you’ve just demanded of me? This keeping me? What you’re suggesting is archaic enough to be described as such. Or does plaything more suit your pseudo-modernistic outlook?’

‘No, Inez. I don’t like the term plaything either. I have no intention of playing with you. What I foresee for us is much more grown-up than that.’

The sexual intent behind the statement was unmistakable.

Rather than being offended or shocked, Inez found herself growing breathless. Excited.

No!
