Carol Marinelli - The Cost Of The Forbidden

Sev kissed her in a way he perhaps shouldn’t if Naomi was going to keep her head.

Side on, eyes open long enough for them to know that what they were doing was breaking their rules.

Their legs were entwined, but now there was time for more. And so Naomi kissed him in a way perhaps she shouldn’t. Three months of restraint had ended on the plane, but a different restraint ended this morning. She had never known a kiss like it. Their tongues swirled, mouth played with mouth. She took in his lower lip just to feel it between hers, they stroked at each other’s mouths, caressed the other’s tongue. Yes, she had never known a kiss like it—and she guessed after this morning she never would again.

‘YOU’RE ENGLISH?’ NAOMI watched from the other side of a large polished desk as Sevastyan Derzhavin flicked through her résumé with little enthusiasm.

He’d already made up his mind that she hadn’t got the job, Naomi decided. So it was now just a matter of going through the motions.

What she didn’t know was Sevastyan never went through the motions.

Social niceties did not apply to him.

‘I was born here and my father lives here in New York,’ Naomi answered. ‘So I’m legal...’

‘I wasn’t asking for that.’ He shook his head. ‘I’m not really big on red tape. It was your accent that had me curious. How long have you been here?’ He continued to look at her résumé and frowned as Naomi answered him.

‘Twelve days.’

‘You’re staying in a hostel?’ he checked.

‘Just till I find somewhere to live, though that’s proving harder than I thought it would.’

He glanced up and saw that she was blushing—she had been since the moment he’d called her name, or perhaps her complexion was just perpetually red?

‘I thought that you said that your father lived—’

‘His wife just had a new baby.’ Naomi interrupted.

‘I don’t blame you, then.’

‘Sorry?’

He stiffened.

It was the third time that she had said it.

‘I don’t blame you for not wanting to stay with him if there’s a screaming baby.’

Naomi didn’t respond but her slight swallow and blink told him that, very possibly, his comment was the wrong way around—that her father didn’t want Naomi staying with him.

He had been about to tell her that they were wasting each other’s time. Sevastyan didn’t deal in emotion. Computers were his thing. Books too. Not people.

There was no point in dragging things out and so he would tell her that this wasn’t going to work; that she could never be his PA.

And he would tell her why if she asked.

Naomi Johnson had one of those apologetic personalities that irked Sev.

One of the last English words he’d learnt had been ‘sorry’ and he rarely used it.
