><p>Andreas\u2019s blood hummed with anticipation as he watched the woman who stood just feet away, her chin still lifted defiantly even though they both knew she was about to give in. She would be his. Her little act of pride had just been exercise in proving to Andreas that he\u2019d still be the last man she\u2019d choose on earth even if there was enough heat between them to melt an iceberg. And even if she was desperate.<\/p>\n<p>His mouth tightened into a line. If anything this just proved that he was right; Siena wanted out of her challenging circumstances and back into the world she knew so well.<\/p>\n<p>All he cared about was sating this burning desire inside him. Witnessing Siena DePiero swallow her pride and denial of their mutual attraction would be a delicious revenge and the very least he deserved after suffering so acutely at her hands.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Well Siena? What\u2019s it to be?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Siena hated the smug tone of arrogance in Andreas\u2019s voice. She couldn\u2019t believe she was even contemplating what she was about to do, and assured herself she could do this. She had to.<\/p>\n<p>In a way it should be easy \u2014 she\u2019d merely be reverting to a type she\u2019d played well for as long as she could remember; that of the privileged heiress with nothing more on her mind than the dresses she\u2019d wear to the next charity function. No \u2014 one except for Serena, had ever known of her deep hatred of that vacuous world where people routinely stabbed one another in the back to get ahead. Where emotions had been so calcified that no reaction was genuine.<\/p>\n<p>Before she could lose her nerve altogether, Siena blurted out, \u2018I will come with you, right now if you wish.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Siena saw Andreas\u2019s slow smile of triumph curling his mouth up and said quickly before he thought he was about to have everything his way, \u2018But I have terms\u2026for this\u2026if we\u2019re to embark on\u2026\u2019 words failed her. She simply could not articulate what he wanted, and expected. What she\u2019d agreed to in her head.<\/p>\n<p>He arched a dark brow. \u2018This affair? Becoming lovers? Companions?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Siena flushed, the word companions, even though he\u2019d meant it sarcastically struck her somewhere very deep and secret. They would never be companions. Feeling agitated, she moved behind her one rickety chair, putting her hands on its back as if it could provide support. She nodded once, jerkily. \u2018Yes. I have terms.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Andreas folded his arms across his chest. He looked almost amused and Siena welcomed this as it made a fire grow in her belly. He only wanted her for one thing and she was only exploiting him for his desire.<\/p>\n<p>Baldly she declared, \u2018I want money,\u2019 and then she winced inwardly. She\u2019d been brought up to be the ultimate society diplomat yet here with this man she regressed to someone barely able to string a sentence together. She was too raw around him, she couldn\u2019t call up that fake polite veneer if her life depended on it.<\/p>\n<p>As Andreas registered Siena\u2019s words, something dark solidified in his gut. He should have expected this. A woman like Siena DePiero would never come for free. She would expect him to pay handsomely for the privilege of bedding her. As much as he\u2019d paid for touching her in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Disgust evident in his voice he said coolly, \u2018I\u2019ve never paid for a woman in my life and I\u2019m not about to start now.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Siena went as pale as parchment and Andreas had to curb the urge to sneer. How could she look so vulnerable when she was effectively standing there asking for payment to be his mistress? Two spots of colour bloomed in her cheeks then and bizarrely he felt comforted.<\/p>\n<p>He could see her struggling with whatever she wanted to say until finally she got out, \u2018Those are my terms. I want a sum of money or else I\u2019m not going anywhere and if you come near me I\u2019ll scream the place down\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n<p>His lip curled, \u2018Just like your neighbours? I didn\u2019t see anyone rush to their aid.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Siena flushed and it made Andreas bite out, \u2018Just how much money are we talking about?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He saw Siena\u2019s throat swallow and she licked her lips for a second, effortlessly drawing Andreas\u2019s eye to those lush pink swells and making that heat in his body intensify. Damn her but he wanted her, possibly even at a price.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_fifth-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_fifth-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-av_one_fifth-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-23  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding '     ><\/div>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click to Learn More<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1821,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[21],"portfolio_entries":[23],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Forgiven But Not Forgotten ?
