Francesca had ers still tingled fro them Crazy, the sexual chemistry that still existed between them

‘I ed and I have a proposition for you’ He leaned forward, arether

‘What kind of proposition?’

‘The kind that acknowledges e have and e can’t fight against’ His voice was calht to follow suit ‘An arrangement of sorts,’ he said conversationally ‘One of a passionate nature Passion with no strings attached I never expected us to run into each other again and I certainly never expected that I would still be attracted to you, but we did and I am and you feel the same way’

‘You don’t knohat I feel, Angelo’

‘Oh, but I do’ He relaxed back and crossed his legs Sexy, elegant and composed ‘Actions speak so much louder than words’

‘What would be the point?’ Suddenly she couldn’t sit still any longer Nor could she withstand the shuttered steadiness of his gaze She walked jerkily across to the bayand perched on the ledge, wrapping her arms around her How could he sit there and discuss the the weather? ‘You would want it to lead somewhere, wouldn’t you? Isn’t that what you said all those years ago?’

‘What happened years ago is an irrelevance It’s what’s happening now that matters We want each other Sufficient for ement, sufficient for you to sleep with ed ‘I’ from me Beyond the obvious’

‘It’s crazy’

‘Come and sit back down’

‘Come and sit back down’

‘Look at me Unless, of course, you’re too scared to do that’
