Chapter Thirty One
Neither of them said a word as Matt drove to her apartment. Which was fine with Savannah. The last thing she wanted was to have any kind of conversation with him. The earlier she got away from him the better.
She was glad she accepted the ride home though. She felt tired and emotionally drained, but she wasn't going to tell him that.
As soon as he parked the car in front of her apartment she got out and slammed the door shut. Then she proceeded to go into the apartment.
"You are welcome" Matt said sarcastically as he got out too. Wondering how her getting fired was his fault. He hadn't even seen her for two weeks. He couldn't bring himself to leave though, so he followed her into the apartment.
It annoyed him that her door wasn’t locked. Anyone could just walk in. He pushed it open to find her on her hands and knees, peering under the rickety recliner. She made a sound of frustration and then pushed hers

“If that’s what you want to call it. I really don’t care. You need a job. And a better place to live. To be honest I'm glad you don't work at that diner anymore. They don't pay you enough and I know you wanted to finish your classes back then. I don't know if you still do, but I want to help. I'm not sure why, but no matter what has happened between us, I still care about you and I want to help you”Her eyes narrowed suspiciously. “You just want to help? Just like that.”He nodded, not bothering to tell her that there wasn’t any opening at his firm and he planned on creating one just for her. After what she did to him, he knew he was the biggest idiot on the face of the earth for wanting to help her but he couldn't help it. Dash was right. He was an idiot.Savannah hesitated for a while. Working for him was not a good idea. She was sure of that. She could barely stand seein
SILENT DESIRES Chapter Thirty Three
Surprised by the aggressive tone in her friend’s voice, Tess said, “Yes. He’s a business associate of my father's.”“He looks more like a don in the Mafia to me.” David replied.“Well, he is not,” she teased, “he’s a tycoon, not a loan shark.”“Is there a difference?” David asked.She didn’t get a chance to reply because Dash had started walking toward them the moment David stopped and he arrived at her side just as David finished speaking.Regardless of her wish to never see the man again, her eyes hungrily took in every detail of his face, the strong squarish jaw, the enigmatic expression in his dark brown eyes and the straight line of his sensual lips.“I have come to take you to dinner,” he said without preamble or indeed even the semblance of having aske
SILENT DESIRES Chapter Thirty Four
David was too young to realize the long term impact on his future business dealings such an action might have. Though she was irritated by David’s behavior, she liked him too much to let him do something so stupid.Besides, if she went with Dash, she hoped David would get the message she wanted his friendship, but wasn’t interested in anything more. She couldn’t be. She might want to hate Dash Black, but he remained the only man she could think of in that way... At least for now.She had no experience with brushing off a man’s interest and this seemed the easiest way.“I’m sorry. Can we make it another night?” she asked David by way of atonement.“We won’t be here another night,” he reminded her.“I know.” She said.He would probably have said more, but the bus driver called the fin

She allowed his tongue inside her mouth after the first gentle pressure applied to the seam of her lips. He tasted like she remembered. Hot. Spicy. Masculine.When he pulled away, she was too lost in her own sensual reaction to his kiss to even notice he was leading her anywhere. It wasn’t until he stopped at the waiting limo and rapped out instructions to the ever-present security team, that she once again became aware of her surroundings.Mary, mother of Joseph, it was just like at the party.He could have done anything to her and she would have let him. She was also aware that while she’d been completely lost to reality, he had been in absolute control.She tried to tell herself she was letting him hand her into the car because she didn’t relish riding public transport alone at night. But she knew the truth.If she didn’t sit down soon, she’d fall

“It is not ridiculous for me to think this. He looks at you with the eyes of a man who has claim to you.” Dash said.“There is such thing as the claim of friendship.” Tess replied.“And friendship requires late night visits to his hotel room?” he asked, making Tess even more angry.“I’ve never been to his hotel room late at night, for goodness’ sake. I’m hardly the type to carry on a brief affair, or did you miss the hopeless-in-bed description?” she said. As the words left her mouth, she realized with chagrin she’d given Dash what he wanted—a definite answer to whether or not she was sleeping with David.He didn’t look smug, however. He was too busy glaring at her. “Stop repeating that bitch’s words as if they are gospel. She knows nothing of you or your passions. You will be a consuming
SILENT DESIRES Chapter Thirty Seven
That she did not yet realize she belonged to him now was the only reason he had not flattened that David, but soon both she and he would know it. And then let the blond man touch her at his peril.Her father obviously hadn't told her about this, so it was better to keep it that way. The elevator stopped and Tess looked up for the first time. “Where are we?” she asked.The doors slid open and he stood back for her exit first. “This is my headquarters.”he replied.They stepped through one of the two doors on the landing.She looked around them. “It looks more like a home to me, or are you trying to tell me that a tycoon does his business in the living room rather than the boardroom?”He felt his lips quirk at her sassiness. This unexpected side to her nature was not altogether unpleasing. A wife without spirit would not suit him

A muscle ticked in his jaw. “Explain.” he said.She was only too happy to do so. “I spent three hours as the butt of every joke in the room. Poor hopeless Tess, throwing herself at the gorgeous Dash Black,” she mimicked with savage pain. “Did you see how he had to practically tear her arms off of him? We always knew she was hopeless, but to be that desperate.”The cruel voices echoed in her head as if it had just happened and the painful mortification sliced her heart.“This cannot be true. I kissed you. Surely the other guests saw that. Seriously! I rejected that tall blonde’s advances to be with you.”“Oh, yes, the model.” Tess's body went taut with remembered emotion. “You know that old saying about a woman scorned? Well, she epitomized it. She told anyone who would listen that I pushed her out of the way to get to

“Are you trying to say that if you had, you would have stayed? That you would not have rejected me so publicly and treated me like the kiss meant nothing to you?” Tess asked.His face was tight with frustration, but he did not answer. Probably because a truthful answer would put him even further in the wrong.“I didn’t think so,” she said, sounding every bit as cynical as the women who had mocked her at the party.In a move that shocked her, he reached out and pulled her to him. “That is in the past. This is now. We begin from here, Tess.”Begin what exactly? She thought, not that she had enough time to think. She hated her treacherous body that longed to melt against him. “I’m not up to your speed.” She said. Miserably aware that it was too true, she tried to pull away. “I belong with someone like David.”
