Chapter 1

 

Sophia did not need to turn around to confirm the identity of the man who stood quietly behind her, as she looked out from the hilltop to view the raging sea below. She knew that if she turned around her eyes would immediately fall upon a tall, dark blonde haired powerfully built male with the most striking of blue eyes.

'Why did you run away like that?' Joseph questioned her at last as he cut short the silence that had lingered between them.

'You left me no choice, I had not expected that you would kiss me, you took me by surprise,' Sophia spoke in confusion as she continued to look out into the distance. 'Why do you continue to taunt and play your cruel games with me?' She tried to erase the images from her memory of Joseph trapping her against a wall before bending his head down to claim her lips passionately with a wicked smile marked on his face.

'Sophia I believe that you may have a great talent for acting, you may have fooled my father into thinking that you are all sweet and innocent, but I know better!' Joseph spoke sarcastically. 'I haven't forgotten the way you reacted in my arms, you enjoyed the kiss just as much as I, and you were hot and ready for more. I dare say that if we hadn't been disturbed by the noise down the hallway you would have begged me to take you then and there.'
