“WHAT?” shouted Paolo, probably waking his neighbours. What happened next was a result of the mixed messaging he was receiving. He’d been surprised by the late night visit to his flat, somewhere with secrets and where few women ever came. Sofia had glided in looking stunning, spoke of her concern for Tony, about whom he was carrying guilty secrets... moved up close and touched him. Then asked if he was gay.

Sofia looked and smelt so utterly irresistible that any hot-blooded male would have admitted to anything... but not that!

Instantaneously, Paolo’s hands clasped and closed around Sofia’s neck.
