Emma Darcy - Notorious - Ruthlessly Bedded by the Italian Billionaire / Bound by the Marcolini Diamonds

‘Don’t look at me like that!’ she cried. ‘I’ve just seen the type of woman who attracts you and I’m not it. If you think you can fool me, think again!’

Dante did pause to think again. The fierce antagonism flowing from her would only deepen if he physically forced the issue. Persuasion was now the tactic to use to get her back to where he wanted her. And he did want her. The desire still surging through him was stronger than any he’d felt in a long time. Anya’s sexual expertise was a tame thing compared to the powerhouse of passion he’d found in this woman.

He had to move Anya out of this villa, off Capri, get rid of that bone of contention before attempting another seduction, which would have to be carefully planned, given the level of resistance Anya’s intrusion had forged.

‘And get this straight,’ the little spitfire hurled at him. ‘I’ll be Isabella for your grandfather whenever he wants my company, but I don’t like Lucia and Anya and I’m not going to mix with them when he’s not there.’

‘Anya will be gone before lunch.’

‘Fine! Then you can lunch with your real cousin by yourself. Tell her I have a headache. Tell her I’m still suffering jetlag. Tell her anything you like to excuse me from having to put up with more stress, because I’m going to rest in this room all afternoon. By myself. Or I won’t answer to how I conduct myself with your grandfather over dinner tonight,’ she finished with threatening defiance.

‘Good idea!’ he approved, which instantly took the wind out of her battle sails. ‘I’ll have one of the maids bring you a tray of refreshments. Would you like headache pills, as well?’

She lifted a hand to push at her forehead. ‘Yes, I would. Thank you,’ she muttered, visibly sagging with relief at his response.

‘Lucia can be a trial, but it will be impossible to completely avoid her,’ he warned. ‘I’ll do my best to keep you apart. Okay?’

She nodded, looking too drained of energy to argue anymore.
