Chapter 10
Luckily the meat was exceptional unlike her floundering conversational skills full but how did one backpedal from loveless marriages and children to polite inconsequential small talk?“Why did you become a nurse?”Xavier’s deep voice carved through the heavy silence and Caraa lifted her eyes startled by the fact that he had spoken as much as by the question itself.“How do you know that I am a nurse?”“Rosa mentioned it.”So he had a conversation about her with his housekeeper? Or maybe Rosa had just mentioned it in her passing. Rosa had told her and Alphonso's only daughter was a nurse married and working in Berlin so Cara had naturally mentioned that she too was a qualified nurse.“It's the only job I ever wanted to do. Right from when I was a small child,” she said smiling because she couldn't not smile when she talked about her chosen profession.Taking care of people wasn't just what she did it was who she was. Who she had been from the day her mother had walked out and her bewil

Cara’s eyes widened although weather in surprise at the apology or the dominating touch of his hand he didn't know.Whatever the cause it didn't erase the look of stubborn pride from her face. “You only want me to stay because you don't trust me.”Xavier dropped his hand from her chin and before the urge to drag the pad of his thumb across her bottom lip to see if it felt as lush and soft as it looked grew too strong to resist.“That's not true.”It wasn't lie.She was an unexpected. From the moment she had turned up at his offices the other night spouting the outrageous claim that she was his stepsister through to today when he had come home and discovered her laughing and dancing with his staff he had felt as if his carefully controlled world was gradually shifting beneath him.And tonight somehow she had turned even the act of sharing a meal into an unpredictable affair. How the hell they had ended up talking about marriage and children and love of all things that singularly destru

The scenery along the stretch of coastline known as Costa Brava was breathtaking. Cara had grown up in a small coastal Township South of Melbourne so she was used to ocean and beaches but the glittering shores of the Mediterranean were in a different class altogether. Each time the sleep convertible powered around another bend and in new stunning vista open up before them she couldn't suppress little gasp of awe.Another one caught in her throat now and Xavier glanced over from the driver seat.“Spectacular, si?”He was spectacular. As riveting as the scenery infected jeans and a loose fitting white shirt with an open collar and rolled out sleeves stubble shaded lit his jaw and she liked this edgier look on him. He wore dark sunglasses and his thick black hair was roughly deliciously thanks to the cars open top.Every time she looked at him her breath went a little choppy but it was the moments when he smiled and his mouth loose end and those deep attractive grooves appeared in his le

“Look who is lecturing now,” she said lightly attempting to cover her silly over reaction to a couple of abrupt marks. “It's kind of nice though,” she added settling back against the seat and casting him a sideways glance. “You being all protective. When I was little I used to dream of having a Big Brother who would look out for me..”He's jaws tightened. “Cara.” He warned in a low gravelly rasp that should have deterred her but instead sent a hot quiver through her belly.Catching her tongue between her teeth she bit down literally on the reckless impulse to see how far she could push him in this mood. Chances where his ground was worse than his bite. But she was not brave enough to find out.An hour later Xavier leaned against the side of his car ankles crossed arms folded over his chest full his mind stuck on a single word like a turntable needle stuck on scratched vinyl. He clenched his jaw.If what Cara provoked in him was protectiveness it sure as hell wasn't of the brotherly va

Two hours later, Cara sat in the shade of a pergola in Miriam and Benito Gozalez’s quaint cottage garden, looking through the pile of photos that Miriam had brought to the table with a tray of coffee and sweet treats to finish their meal.The men had finished their coffee and disappeared 15 minutes earlier. Benito had asked if he could look in the Aston Martin having noticed the car through the shop window when they had first driven into the village full Xavier had gotten one better and offered to take him for a short spin.Cara’s insides had melted the tiny bit. She had always and almost wanted to hug him. For his kindness to the older man. For letting her do this. For keeping the scowl off his face and remembering to smile every now and then.“You all look so young,” she said looking and studying the old wedding photo. “And you and Matilda both look so beautiful, Miriam.”Sitting beside her table Miriam smile. “Tilda was beautiful and clever. She altered my mother's wedding dress fo

Cara retraced her steps and then went down to brush off her feet and sleep her sneakers back on. She had just finished tying her laces when a football hurtled up the beach towards her a tall shirtless young man in hot pursuit. Automatically she stuck her foot out to stop the ball and its pursuers he did to a halt right in front of her full.He's took to retrieve the ball as he straightened his guys and travelled up her body taking her in with unabashed interest from angles to her face. He grinned at her and she couldn’t help but green back he had the ripped physique of a man but she guessed he was in his late teens and he was hardly threatening.“No hay problema,” she said borrowing a phrase that she had you heard Rosa use.Her young admirer cocked his head, long dark hair flopping in his eyes. “You’re English?”“Australian.”“Ahh. Home of koalas and kangaroos, si?” She laughed. “Yes.”His grin broadened. “And beautiful women.”Cara laughed again shaking her head at his cockiness. H

He shouldn't have done it.Xavier pinched at the bridge of his nose and cursed himself for the hundred times since they had gotten back to the villa he shouldn't have kissed Cara the way he had with anger and arrogance and it dark compulsion to punish her. Next and yet he had been lying if he had said that he hadn't enjoyed every damn second of plundering those soft honeyed lips.She had enjoyed it too he was sure of it she had made a sexy little moaning sound in her throat and softened her mouth under his granting him access to go deep to stroke his tongue in and taste her which had been his undoing.Because now he knew how sweet she was, his taste buds cried out for more.And his body ached. Wanted. wanted what he shouldn't have.Biting back another curse Xavier shut his laptop with hard and stood up from his desk. He had stared at the same columns and rows of figures for over and hour full clearly work wasn't going to provide the distraction he had hoped for.He moved through the o

The water poured down, the heat hit his feet first, then his torso, then finally he brought his head forward. As the falling water splashed in his eyes, Xavier blinked. The feeling of the water running down his body began to wake up his sleeping cock. It jumped at first then rose slowly. Xavier took it in his hand and began to work it up and down. His eyes already closed, the images in his head began to appear with increasing clarity.A room was visualized on the inside of Xavier's eyelids. White walls. No window. Empty space. Wait. Not completely empty. His mind's eye walked across the room and a girl appeared. She was not too tall, red haired beauty with high flaring cheek bones, wide-set brown eyes and long, muscular limbs. Everything about her bespoke her sensuality and it was apparent she knew it. She appeared to be about in her late twenties. Very fit. Her stomach was flat, as if she made a habit to include crunches in her workout. Her breasts were ample. If Xavier had to make a

But Cara had tried.And he had made it very clear he wasn't interested.Extremely clear free down the track should write him to be from Australia. Explain what medium had told her. Then he would decide whether to use the information or discard it.The taxi pulled up outside the ferry terminal and Cara put the photo away. The driver helped her retrieve her backpack and then took her movement to sort out the right bills and coins to pay him.Once he was happy she hoisted her back on to her shoulder turned towards the terminal and slammed into a wall of solid muscle.The impact combined with the weight of the pack through her off balance and she stumbled backwards with a startled cry.Strong hands caught her upper arms stopping her from falling.She looked up and her mouth dried.“Xavier!”“Running away Cara?”She tried to focus on what he had said instead of the heat of his hands which felt like branding irons on her bare arms. “What?” In her peripheral vision a big dark suited man em

As soon as Javier had slipped his phone back into his jacket she blurted ,”I can't go into your office is dressed like this!”Cara could just picture the beautiful flawless assistant looking at her in her denim cut offs and tank top with barely concealed horror.His gaze lead over her setting briefly on her bare thighs before lifting back to her face. For a second their gazes smashed and her breath snacked and she thought she saw a flash of heat in those metallic grey eyes before his features grew shattered again.“We are not going to my office.” They instead went to the very top of the tower via a dedicated lift that ran from the underground car park and gave access to 2 other levels. The 44th floor where the executive officers were located and the floor above which housed the corporate apartment that rosa had mentioned as being aware he had sometimes stayed where he worked long hours.The lift was one of those super fast types that made her feel as if her stomach had relocated to h
