Taken the Spaniard's Virgin
Her heart contracted and then started beating ultra-fast. “But…”
“I will not seduce you tonight, Amber. You have said that you must be up very early for your shoot tomorrow. When I do take you to my bed, it will be for hours on end. Such a night would not work for you this evening.”
“Thank you for realizing that.” But she couldn’t help shivering at the implication of his words.Hours on end?
CHAPTER FOUR
“WHATtime will you be finished tomorrow?”
“I can never be sure, but if it goes like today, the photos they want should be taken by midmorning.”
“And then the job, it is over, is it not?”
“Yes.”
“I will pick you up for lunch from your hotel room and we will celebrate a successful shoot.”
“Is that what we’re going to do?”
“Yes,” he said, totally missing or ignoring her gentle sarcasm. “Be prepared to spend the rest of the day and evening with me. I will arrange my schedule.”
The man was just a tad too confident. “Andmy schedule?”
“You will be finished with your work you said.”
“Perhaps I planned to take a tour of the city later in the afternoon.” Which is exactly what she had planned to do.
“Anything you want to see, I will show you.”
“Really?” This could be interesting.
“Yes.”
“Because you know, I planned to buy a Bus Turistic ticket and go to every stop on the city’s sponsored tourist route.”
He laughed. “You are ambitious.”
“I have a wee
k for sightseeing.”
“Perhaps you will allow me to be your guide…and maybe you will even consent to stay in my fair city longer than a week.”
She had only a couple of very minor jobs lined up for the week after her official vacation and for the first time ever, she considered canceling them to play. Shock at her own thoughts kept her speechless for several seconds before she choked out, “I’ll consider it.”
“I assure you, I will make a better tour guide than those found on the bus. I am native Catalan after all.”
“And that makes you superior?”
“Of a certainty.”
She laughed. “I suppose I should give you the chance to prove yourself…” She paused for a long moment. “Or fall on your face.”
“The only thing I plan to fall on is you,cielo .”
“What does that mean?”
“It is Catalan for sweetheart.”
