And yet hadn’t he been racking his brains all day and coming up with remarkably few solutions to this particular dilemma? For all his wealth and power and connections there were some things he couldn’t control, and the press was one of them. ‘Is Sam here?’
‘He’s downstairs with Serge. He’s got a new conker he wants to show you.’
For a moment the tension on his face eased, the faint smile nudging at the corners of his mouth completely transforming his rugged features.
‘I’ll go down and take a look.’ He raised his brows. ‘And later—will he be here then?’
She shook her head and frowned. ‘No, he’s going to stay over at Serge’s—it’s his turn this week. Is there a problem?’
‘Not really,’ he said smoothly. ‘I suggest that you and I eat together.’
Natasha shrugged. It wasn’t as if their eating together was unknown. She didn’t go out that often—and certainly not when Raffaele was around. She felt that being there was part of the fabulous deal he had made with her—she made the house warm and comfortable when he was home.
She wanted to ask him what was on his mind and, yet, there was something very censorious in his eyes which dared her to even try—a dark, warning light that made her very aware of his position over her. Because—despite all their familiarity and the usual ease with which they lived their lives—sometimes Raffaele unmistakably pulled rank, and he was doing it now. This wasn’t a casual suggestion that they might eat supper together, it was an order, and Natasha’s pulse began to race. ‘Sure. Would you like me to cook something special?’
‘No. That won’t be necessary. I’ll cook.’
Raffaele? Cook? ‘R-right.’
Her anxiety grew as she saw the boys off when Serge’s impossibly glamorous nanny came to collect them. Natasha could tell that she was dawdling unnecessarily in the hall.
