Chapter Fourty One
Someone had turned it into a garden, giving the impression of being in an enchanted bower high above the streets of the city. The view over the wall was spectacular. The moment she’d seen it she’d been glad she came with him, if only for the opportunity to spend her final evening in Greece in such magical surroundings.He sat down in the chair opposite hers. No sooner than he had done and a drink was placed in front of him by a discreet servant. The first course was served moments later. Their conversation flowed, Dash asking her questions about her life and he answered her questions about his.“So, what are you doing in Athens, or is it top-secret business stuff?” She was used to her father keeping tight lips about many areas of his life.“I make frequent trips to my headquarters here and elsewhere.” he replied.He was as driven as her father, she thought. “Do you ever take time off to relax?

Chapter Fourty Two
“Then why didn’t I belong to you three weeks ago? Why did you leave and not come back? I’ll tell you why,” Tess went on before he had a chance to answer, “because those kisses meant no more to you than eating a chocolate bar. You found them pleasant, but not enough to buy the candy store.” “You expected marriage after one kiss?” His derision hit her on the raw. “You’re deliberately misunderstanding me. I didn’t say anything of the kind. You’re the one who has been rabbiting on about me belonging to you because of an inconsequential kiss.” She said.  “Hardly inconsequential. I could have had you and you would not have murmured so much as a protest.” Oh. She wanted to scream. “No doubt your skills in the area of seduction are stellar, but what does that signify? With my limited experience in the area, a

Chapter Fourty Three
She put her hand out. “Thank you for an interesting evening. The food was wonderful and you could charge admission on the view from your terrace.” She said.  She said nothing about the company and he felt the urge to smile at her spirit in spite of his anger. He took her hand, but instead of shaking it, used it to pull her into his body, so he could walk her inside. “I will take you to your room.” Her small body was stiff in his hold. “I won’t argue because it won’t do me any good to tell you I would rather walk alone.” She said.  His lips twisted wryly. “You have said it.” “And it didn’t do me any good.” “I would be a poor escort if I did not see you to your door.” he said.  “Cro-Magnon man has nothing on you for primitive.&rdqu

Chapter Fourty Four
She pulled her suitcase off the bed and left it outside the room for the porter to pick up and add to the tour’s luggage on the bus.Contemplating marriage with Dash was an exercise in futility. He was probably already regretting the kisses they’d shared and the implications he had made. He couldn't mean all that shit he said. She walked into the hotel dining room and seeing David at a table by the window, she went toward him. They’d been sharing breakfast since the second day of the tour, sometimes alone and other times joined by their fellow tour members. This morning, he was sitting alone at a table for four.She slid into the seat opposite him. “Good morning.” She said. He looked up from the paper he’d been reading. He had it special delivered because he said he couldn’t stand too many days without news from back home.His usually mobile face remained impassive. “Is it?” he asked.&nb

Chapter Fourty Five
Victoria sighed and looked at Savannah like she was crazy, which she probably was."I have to tell you, I don't think you should do this" Victoria said. "I mean it's Matt, remember. In case you have forgotten, it's Matt. The man who broke your heart so badly that you had to leave and I had no idea if I was going to see you again. I know you need this job, but he's your ex and I honestly don't see any good coming out of this. You are my best friend, and I hate seeing you hurt."Savannah understood. Vicky had a point, but she had no choice. She was tired of being a waitress and no reasonable office was willing to offer her a job without her degree. Matt seemed like the only one who was willing to offer her one. It was a bad idea, but she was going to do it anyways. How bad could it be? Really bad, but she didn't want to think about that.The reason why she hadn't called to tell him that she was coming was because she was terrified of

Chapter Fourty Six
Savannah sighed.Okay, she thought. So he wasn't going to make this easy for her. She knew she deserved it... Kinda. She had practically yelled at him when he had offered her the job and then she had asked him to leave with his job and his check.She hated that she had to come back to ask for the job but she had no choice and he was the only one willing to offer her one."I know that I should have called" she said. "I was just scared that if I did this on the phone, you would turn me away or worse, you might even refuse to talk to me"He leaned closer, resting his elbows on his desk. "You were scared that I would turn you away if you did what exactly?" he asked. Savannah took in a deep breath. "The job" she said. "The one you offered a week ago. I know I said that I didn't want it but I do now. And I'm sorry that I turned it down before. I know that's it's really crazy to just walk in here and

Chapter Fourty Seven
Savannah stared at him wide eyed. "Why?" she asked. "Why would you want to do that. I remember what you said to me that day when we broke up. I remember everything vividly. You made it clear that you didn't want anything to do with me. You said you never wanted to see me again, which was one of the reasons why I was surprised when you came to the diner and then offered this me a job.""I know what I said" Matt said, interrupting her. "But I was the one who came to look for you, regardless of what I said" Savannah was silent. She paced the room for a while. That didn't make much sense to her either. She never understood why he came to find her. "So what exactly are you doing?" she asked finally. "Is this some kind of sick game you are playing to hurt me?" "I don't wish to explain anything to you right now," Matt said,"And I'm not trying to hurt you. I won't get anything out of that. The point right now is that you need me

Chapter Fourty Eight
He’d managed to find her in Greece when she wasn't expecting him to, but now that she wanted him to…nothing. The man was a billionaire. He had a helicopter, not to mention a jet. He hadn't even bothered to call her on the phone.  If it were important for him to see her, as he’d implied, wouldn’t he have used one of them? This was the reason why she didn't want to take his words seriously at first, but despite her good intentions, she couldn't stop herself. She was angry with herself as well as him.  David had gotten over his snit by the time they arrived in Rome and apologized sweetly for his accusations. They’d agreed to resume their friendship and had toured the Vatican together. Their relationship wasn’t as free and easy as it had been. She was careful to avoid his casual touches, afraid Dash had been right. In allowing it, perhaps she had encouraged David to think she wa

Chapter Fourty Nine
Her eyes widened, but she did not fly at him in anger as she had done before when he told her he wanted her to leave the tour.  “I have two weeks left of my European visit.” Tess said.  “Spend them with my family. My mom wishes to meet you and Elena is home from the university. I'm sure she will enjoy your company.” “You told your mother about me?” Tess asked.  “Yes.” he replied  His mother6would have been very hurt if he had sprung a bride on her out of the blue. And she was very excited about the prospect of grandchildren... Something Dash wasn't even sure that he was ready for. But one thing at a time.  “What did you tell her?” Tess asked, looking at him as if he’d grown donkey ears. “Why the shock?” He had told Tess his intentions. &

Chapter Fifty
"I had my moments. And for your information, I wasn’t trying to be “mean” or anything like that. To be honest, I just wanted you to come with me.... Because I wanted us to spend some time together.  Her shoulders grew a little stiffer and she turned to look at him. Her steady gaze suggested that she wasn’t convinced.  Savannah decided not to dwell on that statement he had just made.  "So this island—" she began. The thought of this brief adventure cheered her up slightly, so she would just focus on enjoying it. "Where is it? And why did you decide to come there of all places?"  "It’s a tropical island off the coast of South America. And the reason I decided that we should go there is because it's peaceful, and we’ll be the only two people on the island."  "Just us?" Her voice was a horrified squeak. "You expect me
