If she hadn't been so angry and rieved expression The fact he had accepted his e of, but not Rachel's personal avowal also rankled

"So, Phillippa believes I told the truth about being a virgin and you accepted yourme as a liar"

"That is the way it was, yes"

"Did she tell you she believed me about the other too?"

"No! I did not bring this up to her"

"Why not? You told her everything else"

"Not everything" He rubbed his eyes as if tired

She wondered how one to bed in the wee hours of theand he'd woken up before her

"What, did you forget to ?"

"You weren't wearing any socks Your lovely legs were bare and I did not go into that great a detail withHave I no credit in your eyes at all that you could believe I would do so?"

Realizing she'd really offended him with that re­mark, she still shook her head and told him the truth "No, pretty much not any"

He grimaced "Well I did not" He waved a hand toward her food "Eat your breakfast You need your strength"

For the baby's sake

Looking down at the beautifully prepared food, she thought he had really jumped headfirst into protective soon-to-be father ht to the wish that some of his concern could have been directed toward her person rather than her role as incubator

That kind of thinking was in the past

She no longer cared that Sebastian could not love her She would not let herself

Without eating any ot up and put it on the counter Turning to face her, he leaned his tall, hard body against the cupboard

His silent scrutiny unnerved her and her breath caught in her throat at the partial view she got of his chest because of his open shirtfront Her gaze slid down of its own volition and she almost choked on that held breath

His stance outlined se response in the heart of her femininity

She couldn't possibly be experiencing desire for him

Not after everything that had happened

Yanking her gaze from his body, she concentrated on her food

"When you are finished here, ill go to see a specialist about your thyroid and heart" She could not tell from his tone of voice whether or not he had noticed her appraisal

She nodded her head, not looking up, not wanting to know

"While we are gone," he continued, "s If there is any furniture to which you have a sentimental attachment, we can have it shipped to Greece or the New York apartment for now"

Her head snapped back and sheto Greece"

His gorgeous face gave nothing away

Villains were supposed to be ugly with oily ree, not men who could coazine

"Rachel, you need looking after I cannot do that from half a world away You will come to Greece"

He was so arrogantly sure he kneas best and just on principle, she opened her ain Hadn't she called him for this very purpose?

She wanted so happened to her Heof the World et aith it

"Okay, but we don't have to pack up nant forever"
