“I haven't made up my mind but I suspect that's what I will end up doing full even if I stay in Melbourne the house is too big for me. It was too big for dad and Matilda really but it's right by the ocean and Matilda adore the sea,” she caught herself. “Sorry,” she muttered dropping her keys to her wine glass. “I know that you are not interested in…”“Don’t.” Xavier reached across the table and covered her hand with his. His mouth formed but his voice was soft. “If anyone should apologise then it is me.”Cara’s skin tingled under the warm pressure of his fingers. Her heart beating a little faster she looked up. “What's the apology for?”His thumbs stroked over her knuckles. “For what I said in the car on Sunday. It was disrespectfully it is not my place to judge Matilda or to make assumptions about the situation she found herself in. The fact is she made the choice 35 years ago and that was ultimately for my benefit report that I am grateful to her.Cara’s throat stuck and for a momen

Xavier stood up so quickly his cheers scraped on the stone floor and the physical dissimilarity between the 2 men was immediately apparent. Diego de la Vega was good looking but he didn't have Xavier’s height or the same powerful build and he didn't possess one iota of the raw masculinity and charisma that Xavier exuded.He looked at her full let's go he said evenly and she didn't need any further promptingWhoever he was Diego de la Vega made her uneasy and uncomfortable and she was more than happy to leave.Fortunately Xavier had already paid the bill and he made occurred Buenos noches to his relative and then made a quick exit do not before Cara had fielded a look from Diego that not only glinted with I'll concealed curiosity but also she thought had a hint of malevolence.Suppressing a short shudder she emerged onto the street and turned to Xavier. His jaw was still tight and his mouth was compressed. “Who was that?”“My cousin.”Hand on her elbow he guided her into the back of th

The winter sun filtered through the blinds when I woke. I was naked in the middle of the bed with a pair of quilts covering me. My legs felt sore in the best way.Warm air enveloped me when I finally stretched out of the blankets. There was a small pile of clothes on the corner of the bed, but I only needed the shirt. It must have fit Xavier's long torso, but it was large enough on me to fall at my upper thigh. It was probably old too, judging by the softness of the cotton. Much better than last night's clothes, still crumpled on the floor.Out in the main room, the smell of coffee and the sizzle of eggs instantly roused my appetite. Just a few steps into the room and he was in my sights. Xavier stood tall and lean with his huge frame, flipping a few slices of bread-turned-toast. He was already dressed in jeans and a t-shirt.I felt myself brighten when I saw him. "Good morning, Xavier."Xavier turned, smirked a shy half-smile at seeing his shirt draped on my curves. "Good morning, be

At 6:45 AM on Friday they boated his jet on the tarmac in Madrid for their return to Barcelona.Cara had not complained about their early rising but she had looked deliciously flashed and disabled as she had raised around the apartment gathering her things up before the car had arrived. Her last minute rush to pack had been his fault. He had joined her in the shower and pressed her back against the tiles and dumb things to her under the streaming water that had consequently made them both run lead but she hadn't complained about that either.In the final minutes before they had left their apartment she had flown back into the bedroom looking for something and Xavier had spied on her journal on the side table in the living room. It had lain open at a page on which she had written her list of things to see and do in Spain and although he hadn't intended to look one item had caught his eye before he had closed the journal and called out to her that he had found it.The flight crew ready

Aphrodite had considered a lot before going for the filing of the case and she knew that it was a flimsy one but she had to do it. Her sister was on her mind a lot for the past few days and she atleast wanted to be able to give her satisfaction that she had been avenged. Now a days, Aphrodite thinks that she should have been better when it came to their relationship and they both were not that different when it came to thinking about their careers. They always had been focused on that and Xavier de la Velga had known her sister better than her. That was the part that spited her the most. She had already used the information that he had given her and that is why she would have to do what he had asked her to."You didn't think it important enough to tell me that one of the executives at Coastline Multimedia was a black woman?" Aphrodite hissed at her client after losing the summary judgment that effectively ended their discrimination case. This had been a "throw-away" case for Aphrodite
