The Shameless Life of Ruiz Acosta - Page 46

‘Let’s take a shower.’

‘Together?’ she said, frowning.

‘Is there any other way?’

‘Your writing will be fine now,’ he said later when they were both standing in front of the silent computer. ‘Before, you had just shut your mind to anything that frightened you, stifling original thought.’

‘And I suppose you’ve just done me a favour in the bedroom by opening it up again?’

‘It certainly helped,’ he said. ‘I think I can give you some further help if you need it,’ he added, glancing at the sofa.

‘Don’t you think of anything else?’

‘With you around?’ His lips pressed down. ‘Rarely.’ Grabbing her hand, he pulled her across the room. ‘I bet I can give that imagination of yours a real kick-start.’

‘I’ll try anything once,’ Holly said, gamely.

‘Excellent. First play and then work—’

‘If you think that’s the solution,’ she said, ‘We’d better get to it.’

‘I couldn’t have put it better myself. I think you’re going to write the best article of your life after this, Holly Valiant, and then I’m going to teach you to ride.’

She laughed. ‘And after that?’ she queried.

‘After that we’re going to show everyone how to dance the samba—’

‘You’re completely mad,’ she exclaimed as he lowered her down onto the cushions.

‘Mad for you,’ Ruiz agreed, unfastening his belt.

WHEN Holly was lying quiet and contented in Ruiz’s arms, she asked him, ‘Did you mean it?’

‘Did I mean what?’ he said, opening one wicked eye.

‘You know,’ she prompted.

‘Say it, Holly.’ Ruiz raised a brow as he waited.

‘When you said … you love me.’

‘Of course I did—I do.’

With a hum she settled back in his arms again. ‘I’m glad you didn’t go riding right away.’

‘Oh, so am I,’ Ruiz agreed in a mocking tone and with a smile Holly didn’t see. ‘But I am going to try out a new horse in a while, so you’ll have plenty of chance to write your article.’

‘Slave driver.’

‘Don’t tell me I haven’t filled you with enough inspiration yet?’ Dipping his head, Ruiz stared with laughing eyes into Holly’s sated gaze. He knew this was the only way they could both be happy—if he let her be free to explore her talent and her career.

‘You’ve certainly given me enough to go on for now,’ she said, reluctantly staggering a little as she got to her feet and walked to the desk.

‘Just call me back if you need any more help,’ he said, springing up and adjusting his clothing.
