‘But what if they’re in love?’ Kate said.
Belinda gave Daisy a beady look. ‘Are you?’
Daisy laughed it off. ‘Of course not.’
‘Sure?’
No. ‘Yes.’
Falling in love with someone like Luiz Valquez would prove once and for all how ridiculously naïve she was. Thinking for a moment someone like him would be interested in spending the rest of his life with her was about as deluded as anyone could get. He was ready to move on. Sure, he’d been charming and sweet and caring but she’d seen him watching her with a frown one too many times. He was probably planning to ditch her before she left for London. Why wouldn’t he? He wouldn’t want the inconvenience of a long distance relationship, even if it were only for another four weeks. He would want to get back to his fly-in, fly-out lifestyle.
‘What about Luiz?’ Kate asked.
‘What about him?’ Daisy said.
‘What does he feel about you?’
‘Lust,’ Belinda said with an eye roll. ‘Didn’t you see that video clip on Twitter someone posted last night? I didn’t know you could do the tango, Daze. It looked like you were having sex with him on that dance floor.’
Daisy could feel a blush stealing over her entire body at the thought of how she and Luiz had burned up the dance floor late last night. He had turned it into a form of foreplay. Her whole body had been vibrating with lust by the time they got back to his suite. Their need for each other had been so explosive they hadn’t even bothered removing their clothes but shoved them out of the way instead. ‘He’s an excellent teacher.’
‘Not just on the dance floor, one presumes,’ Belinda said. ‘You’ve got that look.’
She was almost afraid to ask. ‘What look is that?’
‘The I’ve-just-had-the-best-sex-of-my-life look.’
‘All I can say is good on you, Daisy.’ Kate leaned forward to refill her wine glass. ‘It’s not like we’ve been so lucky, have we, Belinda?’
‘Just because neither of us has been wined and dined and seduced out of our senses by a hot Argentinian playboy doesn’t mean we haven’t had a good time,’ Belinda said with a little scowl.
‘But what about those guys you were dancing with the other night?’ Daisy asked.
Belinda gave a snort. ‘Turns out they were married.’
‘Oh…’
Kate raised her glass in a toast. ‘To Daisy’s first fling.’
Belinda clinked her glass against Daisy’s. ‘Let’s hope you end it before it’s too late.’

Luiz took a sip of his drink as he waited for Daisy to join him in the bar. She had spent a couple of hours that afternoon with her girlfriends shopping, claiming she couldn’t possibly go back home without a quick trip to the outlet mall. After appearing in that skimpy fuchsia-pink bikini the other day, he was starting to wonder what she might come back with. As much as it thrilled him to see her in such a racy little number, or indeed nothing at all, he had other concerns right now. After the smoking-hot clip someone had loaded on social media of them doing the tango last night, he was expecting someone to sneak up behind him with a baseball bat. If word got back to Charles Wyndham that Luiz was corrupting his baby girl with raunchy dancing and porn star bikinis and God knew what else, he would be limping around on crutches for sure.
