      “I think we should get married. Don’t you?”

      “But...that’s ridiculous. We don’t even know each other.” Plus he hadn’t even asked her. Not that a ring and a bended knee would make any difference, but at least she wouldn’t feel like a problem he needed to sort out. She folded her arms and glared at him.

      Nico raised one lazy brow. “Rosalind Anne Marlowe,” he drawled. “Twenty-four years old. Your parents own a well-thought-of light aircraft manufacturer, which your sister, Imogen, now runs. You have two more sisters, one a pilot, the other a celebrity journalist who is in a relationship with Javier Russo, a friend of my cousin, Alessandro.”

      “Yes, but...”

      He carried on as if she hadn’t spoken. “You went to train to be a ballerina when you were eleven and graduated into a company where you spent the last five years as a member of the corps de ballet until your unexpected sabbatical this summer. No one knows if you plan to return to dancing or if you have other plans, but your sabbatical has caused quite a stir—you have shown no interest in anything except ballet your entire life. You share a flat with two other dancers, have had a handful of boyfriends although no relationship lasted more than three months and you met them all through work. How am I doing so far?”

      “You had me investigated?”

      His eyes darkened and he took a step nearer. “I know you like to dance on the beach even when there’s no audience there to see you. I know you like the feel of cold salt water on your bare skin. I know the look on your face when you make your mind up to do something and the way your hands clench when you’re nervous. I know the look on your face when I touch you. I know the way you sigh, the way you moan...”
