The Billionaire's Blackmailed Heiress Read Free Page B

a frown he had failed to spot the woman he had come to find, and had summoned a waiter with a flick of his hand, the man instantly rushing over to him, recognising power when he saw it, smiling as the tall man had asked if he knew where Miss Lane could be found. The waiter had nodded pointing to where Mina sat, hidden beneath the hat and glasses, smiling wider as he was tipped handsomely.
    Quickly moving over to the seated woman Nikos had found himself admiring her long shapely legs one lying elegantly on the bed, the other drawn up before her supporting a sketch pad.
    “Miss Lane?” he had murmured moving in front of her.
    Mina had leapt on hearing the soft sensual drawl of the Greek, eyes flying up as her face had shown surprise at seeing him standing so close to where she sat. She was glad that the glasses hid her expressive eyes as she had once again felt herself in awe at the man before her. Dressed in a black t-shirt and tan cotton trousers he was even more handsome than he had been the previous day. Mina could only admire how calm and relaxed he stood while she floundered and dropped her pad fighting to hide her surprise.
    “Mr Dupris….I didn’t expect to see you” she had gasped in shock “You said tomorrow”
    Above her Nikos had looked down, his eyes like hers, hidden behind dark glasses. Shrugging and not waiting for an invitation he had pulled over a nearby chair.
    “Forgive me Miss Lane” he had breathed softly, his voice velvety making her shiver slightly with the pleasure it sent skittering down her back.
    “However, things moved faster than I thought and I had the impression from our last meeting that you were in a hurry to have this resolved”
    Mina had looked back at him her expression a mixture of surprise, apprehension and fear as she had gently nodded.
    “Yes…yes I did”.
    Seeing as he had given a soft smile, leaning forward slightly towards her.
    “Perhaps we can speak about this somewhere else… somewhere more private where we can talk without interruptions” a boyish grin coming to his face softening his harsh features instantly and making him even more handsome, Mina surprised that this was even possible “Please let me take you for a drink”, as he had ducked to avoid a large rubber ball from the pool, catching it nimbly in his other hand before throwing it back to the laughing children. Biting her lip nervously, her whole being still off balance by his sudden appearance she had given a nervous return smile before pulling herself together.
    “Sure” closing her notepad as she had scooped up all her belongings into the oversized brightly coloured beach bag which sat at her feet.
    “Please Give me ten minutes, and I’ll be back down”.
    To her surprise Nikos had risen also and accompanied her to the small uninspiring reception area, noticing as the young receptionist who had been so snooty with her the previous day, had become so attentive and flirtatious pouting sexily to the man behind her trying to engage him in conversation as her eyes had slid over his tall, toned body. However Nikos while polite had been disinterested as he had taken a seat at the far end of the foyer, the lovely girl scowling at his obvious snub by the object of her lustful affections.
    Inexplicably Mina had smiled as she had made her way back to her small room, quickly pulling out the small blue summer dress she had brought, biting her lip as she had looked critically at herself in the mirror, seeing as it had flattered her lovely figure, but not in an obvious way. Frowning softly she had lifted a strand of her long blonde hair which had fallen around her shoulders and down her back. Sighing she had quickly grabbed a large clip and pulled her hair into a more severe knot. Safely securing it to give her a more formal look, she had wanted to ensure that he took her very seriously, knowing that so much depended on her getting the money she had asked for, not wanting to be taken for an airhead.
