Awakening His Innocent Cinderella. Natalie Anderson

Чтение книги онлайн.

СКАЧАТЬ crazy good looking,’ she said, her gaze narrowing on him. ‘Like, not-of-this-earth good looking. And confident. So I’m guessing you know what you’re doing when it comes to women. And I know I’m nothing like the women you usually bring along to these things. Given how much you like women, you probably would try anything once. For the novelty factor.’

      ‘Are you suggesting I’m not discerning?’ He couldn’t decide whether to be pleased by her compliment about his looks or insulted by her assumption that he lacked pickiness when it came to women. But then he realised it wasn’t only him she was insulting. ‘And don’t denigrate yourself.’

      She looked up at him, that impish light flickering in her eyes. ‘Oh, I’m not. But let’s be honest, I’m not your type. Everyone here knows it. That’s why they’re staring.’

      He didn’t like the thought that he was predictable enough to have a ‘type’, even though he knew he did. ‘That’s not why they’re staring.’

      They were staring because she was a breath of fresh air—basically barefoot in those flimsy sandals, with her white dress gleaming in the light and her skin glowing in the radiance of all those lanterns. She was stunning. He—like the rest of them—couldn’t take his eyes off her.

      She, however, didn’t appear to suffer the same problem when it came to him.

      ‘There’s a boat coming.’ She craned her neck to peer past his shoulder. ‘Everyone is walking over. Do you know who’s on board?’

      He didn’t know, didn’t care. Just wanted her eyes on him again.

      ‘This party is non-stop drama,’ she said. ‘Are your “elite” events always like this?’

      ‘Don’t you go to parties very often?’

      ‘Usually I’m serving the food.’

      She was a waitress? That fitted with the travelling. She certainly wasn’t a local with that softened English accent. Yet it surprised him. She had an unworldliness about her, as if her optimism and hopefulness hadn’t yet been crushed by the harsh realities of life. Most travellers he’d met had a few street smarts and sharper edges. Maybe she was new to it all. His body tightened inappropriately again.

      ‘What are we going to do about it?’ he muttered harshly, unable to hold back his runaway thoughts.

      ‘About what?’

      Astounded, he turned her back to face him. ‘This chemistry.’

      ‘Nothing.’ She turned back to watch the launch arrive. ‘Do you think it’s someone famous?’

      He didn’t give a damn if it was the Queen of England. He just wanted her attention back on him. ‘I don’t think this is something we can do nothing about.’

      ‘Of course we can.’ She laughed, but she didn’t meet his eyes.

      ‘You’re not in the least curious?’

      She finally focused on him properly. ‘I’m sure you could make me feel amazing.’ That giveaway colour washed over her light golden tan again. ‘I’m sure you could make me want anything and everything. But I’m also positive you’d be bad news.’

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
