‘It suited you as well,’ Ruy incised coolly, all logic and calm, which only increased the frustrated rage she was suppressing.
‘Oh, shut up!’ Suzy finally launched at him in exasperation, ramming down the hurt feelings tugging at her that he was not the man she had naively assumed he was. Once again, she had made the wrong judgement call and that scared her. ‘I’ve heard enough of your smooth, specious arguments. You could probably talk your way out of murder but I’m not listening any more!’
And with that ultimate strike, Suzy rose from her seat, swiped up the magazines the stewardess had brought her and stalked to the end of that section of cabin to sit out of his view. Ruy brooded on his rage, even white teeth gritted. He was very wealthy, he had always been wealthy, and he supposed a certain level of arrogance and selfishness afflicted most men in his position. He was accustomed to getting his own way. He was used to paying more to get it too, it being his experience that those he dealt with expected him to pay more because he could afford it.

What difference did his status in life make to her? Would she honestly have rejected him had she known that he was rich? And why was she the very first woman in his life to fight with him over the reality that he was as rich as Midas? The first woman to criticise him...aside of Cecile. And his sister adored him and only offered occasional nuggets of unwelcome truth in an effort to improve his character.
‘I have a business call to make,’ Ruy informed her as he came to a halt in the archway next to her seat. ‘But before I leave, allow me to have the final word.’
Suzy lifted her head, green eyes glittering like emeralds, soft pink mouth flattening with tension.
‘You had sex with me for the same reason I had sex with you, querida,’ he imparted softly.
‘Which was...?’ Suzy dared, enraged by the heat she could feel hotly flooding her cheeks.
‘Hombre! Reason had nothing to do with it. We were so hot for each other we couldn’t control ourselves. At least I’m honest about it,’ Ruy told her mockingly.
