And that Diana had achieved it with the minimum of fuss…
But he could see it was a way of saving face for all of them. ‘As Chris and I came together by taxi,’ she spoke softly, ‘we appreciate your offer to drive us both home.’ There was challenge in her voice now.īecause they all knew it wasn’t what he had offered at all. So cool, so calm, and yet she commanded interest-his, at least!-without even trying!
His attention tensed as Diana finally stopped talking to Chris in that undertone and looked across at Reece with those unfathomable green eyes. So instead he could only look at her, at the way her curtain of hair had fallen forward, so thick and luxuriant that Reece just wanted to entangle his hands in it-at the same time his body became entangled with hers! He felt like a callow youth as he felt his body harden with desire, knowing that he couldn’t get up and leave the table just yet without totally betraying himself. If it had been any other woman but Diana-!īut it wasn’t, and Reece wanted her for himself, could feel his tension rise as Diana sat forward to touch Chris’s arm as she spoke to him so softly that Reece couldn’t hear what was being said-even though he did try! Thankfully Chris was too agitated himself by this time to take exception to the veiled threat, his movements aggressive as he dealt with the bill. He hated doing it, but it was time Chris realised, once and for all time, that he held the purse-strings-God, he groaned inwardly with self-disgust, what the hell was he doing? Did he really want Diana Lamb so much himself that he was willing to threaten his own son to get her? The answer-painful as it was to admit it-was yes! ‘I told you, I don’t want-I can pay my own way, thank you!’ He snatched the bill from in front of Reece as he would have been the one to pick it up.
