‘And you didn’t like that?’

Scarlet lifted her head and her eyes skated warily across his lean face; he no longer looked angry It was hard to read fro

‘Would you like it if I went around kissing my old boyfriends? Daft question, I don’t suppose you’d even notice,’ she ended on a self-pitying sniff With a deep sigh she closed her eyes ‘God, this was such a stupid idea I don’t kno I let you talk me into it?’

‘I would notice’

Her eyes widened at the aggressive declaration ‘You would?’

His fingers curved around her jaw, turning her face up to his ‘And I wouldn’t like it’ His dark eyes shimmered ‘Actually I wouldn’t like it quite a lot’

Her heart started beating very fast ‘What would you do?’ she whispered

A sloolfish smile spread across his dark, lean face ‘I’d throttle hiot the point’

Suddenly her throat was so dry she could hardly speak His primitive statement should have appalled her and here she was excited…and trying very hard not to let him see how excited

‘That my wife is off limits’

‘Then why did you stop?’

Roman jerked his head towards the back seat where Sa his eyes ‘We have an audience’

‘I want a drink,’ Sam announced loudly
