Matthew introduced him, was Conrad‘ ’. He didn’t deem it important to explain if Conrad was a first or surname and once introduced set him to taking the cases out to the car.
     
    “Conrad will be joining us from today and he will be with us for the next couple of weeks in Italy .  On the occasions I have to attend to business he will take care of you.  You can trust him.
     
    So that was where they were going, Italy .  And Conrad, very reassuring, Gina thought, another captor to be considered and to try to outwit should the occasion present itself. 
     
    Conrad drove them and their luggage in a large, sleek limousine to the airport.  He saw to all the formalities while Matthew took Gina to the luxury of the Concorde lounge to wait. 
     
    “Drink,” he offered.  “I thought we’d eat on the plane but perhaps you’d like some refreshment now.”
     
    “I’ll have a gin and tonic, please,” she told him.  “After my afternoon with you I could do with a stiff drink.”
     
    Matthew smiled and ordered the same for them both then steered her to a table with the waiter following behind with their drinks.  She sipped and stirred the ice around the glass all the time her big, blue eyes fixed on Matthew.  He was the most gorgeous man she’d ever met and in a quite different scenario she knew that she could easily fall in love with him.  But given that they weren’t living in a fairytale and given the reality of Matthew’s needs that was impossible.
     
    “What’s your connection with Italy ,” she asked sipping on the icy drink?
     
    “I have a house there, at Portofino .  My sister and my step mother live very close by.  So I suppose I’ve come to see it as home, more so than anywhere else anyway ,” he smiled.
     
    Heavens, he had a sister and a step mother.  That little snippet of knowledge opened up a whole new barrage of questions she’d like to ask him but for now they’d have to wait. 
     
    “Do you go there often, and do you usually take your women there?”
     
    “My women,” he laughed.  “Well no, I have to admit apart from one notable exception you’re the first woman I’ve taken home, Gina.”
     
    J ust who was the ‘notable exception’ he’d referred to Gina wondered ?  Possi bly Lisa, his alleged wife, she decided with a heavy heart .  She should probably ask him about her but she was too scared of the answer she’d get .
     
    “Finish your drink,” he instructed.  “ That’s our call,” he said listening to the latest announcement.
     
    Gina picked up the glass and tossed the contents down her throat .  This was it she was actually going through with it – she was going with him.  All sorts of turmoil spun inside her head.  Should she be doing this for example?  A little voice told her a most emphatic no but her body had other idea s .  Why couldn’t she just say no to him and be done?  Because every time he came near her she became a quivering, needy lump of putty in his hands to be moulded any way he chose, that was why, she reminded herself.
     

Chapter 4
     
    Having never travelled first class before Gina thought it a dream.  There was no way she could afford to travel in such style on her own but this was Matthew’s life she was in now, and Matthew was very wealthy. 
     
    And they appeared to have their own very flight attendant.  She was so attentive fussing around Matthew like a mother hen.  First she brought champagne and then she took their food order.  He advised the fillet steak and a selection of vegetables.  The last thing Gina wanted right now was food, but she nodded at his suggestions and settled back, closing her eyes and trying to make sense of what was happening to her.  
     
    That could be summed up in two words –or rather one name – Matthew Dark.  For the last couple of days she’d been on a roller coaster ride of events that had left her changed for ever.  Matthew had done that.  He’d awakened something in her
