‘No, Inez. I don’t like the term plaything either. I have no intention of playing with you. What I foresee for us is much more grown-up than that.’
The sexual intent behind the statement was unmistakable.
Rather than being offended or shocked, Inez found herself growing breathless. Excited.

THEO PANTELIDES ACCELERATED his black Aston Martin up the slight incline and screeched to a halt underneath the portico of the Grand Rio Hotel.
He was fifteen minutes late for the black tie fund-raiser, thanks to another probing phone call from his brother, Ari.
