Message: Angie

Angie? At eleven forty-two?

With shaking fingers, I stabbed at the phone again.

Fab 2 c u tonite, Mr MF. Had a gr8 time. Hope u found ur jacket - def not here. C u Mon. x x x

I swallowed as I read the words again. How many interpretations could there be of Fab 2 c u tonite then? Mr MF—Magic Fingers, a little voice in my head sneered cruelly—clearly had seen Angie again this evening. They'd had a 'gr8 time'. She even knew he'd mislaid his jacket and by the looks of things, it was possible he could have left it at her place. So how did any of that fit with Drew's claim that he'd 'phoned and called it off'?

I clicked out of the screen and set the phone back down on the chest of drawers, my breathing coming fast and hard. Why would he lie? Why would he say he hadn't gone on a date when he obviously had? Why would he make a point of telling me he loved me if there was someone else in his life? And why on earth would he...?

Make a point. My heart suddenly seemed to skip a bea

    Oh God, you feel huge," I mumbled, suddenly rather scared. "Maybe—maybe this isn't..." I drew in a shaky breath as one of his hands found its way beneath me again, his fingers gliding easily through the wetness. "Please..."He watched me. Watched me watch myself, the way my eyes widened with each deft stroke, the way my lips parted. "Tell me what you want.""Drew!" Pretty soon, it was going to be impossible to tell him anything. "Please. Oh, please..."He looked amused, the hand holding my breast gliding around to my waist as the movement of his other hand quickened, bringing me frighteningly close to the point of no return. "Come on, use your words.""In me!" I cried, rocking my hips in frustration now. "I want you in me when I come, okay? I want you-oo-oh!"His hand abruptly sliding beneath me, he found my opening and was there, hot and blunt against me. And with his fingers spreading me wide, he pushed hard, making me sob with relief as he pressed inside me, opening me wider still,

    "A week?" I whispered, just as his lips were about to land on mine. "I told Marco three days!"Drew smiled. "Doesn't matter what you told him. Marco and I agreed on a week. And then—but only if you want to, Marco says—you can start working for him. You don't have to. It's your decision. Though now I've had a chance to think about it, I actually think you should. Like you've said all along, it's a fantastic opportunity." His smile broadened. "Who knows, maybe you'll get snapped up by Salvani.""But if I stay, I won't see you! You'll be in Stow Newton and I'll be here and—"He silenced me with the gentlest of kisses. "Wanna bet? See," he kissed me again, laughing softly when I trembled, "I haven't taken any leave this year. I've even got a week in hand from last year. So I was thinking I could be here as much or as little as you want me to be. Every weekend, if you like. And if you end up staying more than three months..."My eyes slid closed as he captured my mouth for a much longer ki

    I studied his expression. "Oh my God," I breathed, light dawning. "You were jealous?"His scowl deepened. "Of course I was bloody jealous. Okay, it wasn't just the thought of Alice yelling at me that stopped me from making a move on you. I couldn't let myself feel that way about you back then—you were Paul's kid sister, for heaven's sake. It would've been too..." He hesitated. "It didn't feel like it was something I should do. Doesn't mean I wanted to see you with anyone else though—especially not a wanker like Tim." Then he smiled. "But Sam, you know I've always loved you. I told you, remember? Made quite a point of telling you, if I recall."I felt the blush start somewhere in the middle of my stomach, the heat blossoming outwards until I felt hot all over. "But you called me 'Kiddo'," I muttered, no longer daring to meet his gaze, instead staring fixedly at the top of the bedpost behind him."What?" He gave a startled laugh."That's—that's why I wasn't sure." Oh God, did it have to

    "Drew!""Ah Sam, I can't deny it," he said solemnly. "We just had this spark from day one. Right from the moment she opened the door when I went to her house for my first lesson and she said—" he adopted a falsetto "—'Drew Barnett? No... But you're such a big boy!'" His voice dropping back to its normal pitch, he added with a grin, "Now that's what I call an ice breaker. We both fell about laughing. And naturally," his grin widened, "I haven't let her forget it since."I bet he hadn't. I was already getting the sinking feeling he wouldn't let me forget what I'd just said, either. "But you—you said it was more than lessons," I said weakly as he caught my hand and started to unpeel my fingers from the phone I was still clutching."It was." He put the phone down on the table behind me but didn't let me go, instead letting his hand fall into mine. "Much more. In fact," his expression turned thoughtful as he gazed down at me, "you could probably call it therapy."All at once I was hyperawa

    Samantha"You need to know that there's absolutely nothing on that thing that I don't want you to see. There never has been and there never will be."A tear rolled down my cheek. "That's not the point, though. I shouldn't have looked.""No." Drew's tone softened. "But the real point is, I should've told you about Angie.""What?" My chin jerked up then. "No! You don't have to tell me everything! You've got a right to keep some things to yourself—and if you don't want to tell me stuff then you shouldn't need to. It shouldn't be any of my business who you're seeing, who you're going out with. Like—like Kayleigh." I took a chance on meeting his gaze. "I didn't need to know you weren't really going out with her, did I? Because it was none of my business."He winced. "Roxy told you? Sam, I'm sorry. But I didn't tell you because—""Because it was none of my business. Because there was no reason in the world why you should tell me.""No, Sam." He sighed. "Because I couldn't tell you. Given th

    SamanthaHe glared back down at me, the amusement rapidly fading from his expression. "Oh, I could ask you the same thing, Sam Bloom. What the hell are you doing here in Italy? You said you'd told Marco you'd changed your mind about the job. Remember that? So what made you change it back, eh?""Drew...""You ran away from me. Broke my favourite mug, too.""I know." I couldn't breathe, could hardly speak for the lump in my throat. "I'm sorry. But I—""You owe me two pound fifty for that mug. I bought it from Crowsthorpe market years ago. I really liked that one.""I'm sorry..."He shook his head. "Not good enough." But then as he continued to glower down at me, I saw his lips twitch. And as I followed the direction of his gaze it was to discover he was staring at the place where my chest met his—the only difference being that his chest was covered and mine was bare."Drew!"With a snort of laughter, he let me go, making a show of averting his gaze as he bent to pick up my robe.
