РІР‚ВOh, well,РІР‚в„ў she continued, purposely cheerful. РІР‚ВYou could always use the pool,РІР‚в„ў she said, looking at Matt, but he didnРІР‚в„ўt say anything. РІР‚ВBut it was such a lovely morning and I havenРІР‚в„ўt had a swim since I arrived.РІР‚в„ў РІР‚ВIt was a little foolish.РІР‚в„ў It was easier to admit her mistake. Matt wasnРІР‚в„ўt looking at her and she smiled at the housekeeper instead. IРІР‚в„ўm sure my-Joanna-regrets not informing you what she was planning to do.РІР‚в„ў РІР‚ВMrs Novak decided to take a swim,РІР‚в„ў he said, making no mention of his part in bringing her back to shore. РІР‚ВIРІР‚в„ўm sorry-РІР‚в„ў began Joanna, but before she could continue, Matt intervened. РІР‚ВWe were so worried about you, werenРІР‚в„ўt we, Mr Matt? My granddaughter didnРІР‚в„ўt know where youРІР‚в„ўd gone.РІР‚в„ў РІР‚ВOh, there you are, Mrs Novak,РІР‚в„ў she exclaimed with evident relief. Her dark face was concerned, but when she saw Joanna and Matt together, her lips parted in a wide smile. But she had never felt more apprehensive in her life.Р”В«efore Matt could say anything more, however, Teresa appeared on the jetty. Was he already regretting what theyРІР‚в„ўd done? Whatever she was feeling, it wasnРІР‚в„ўt regret, she acknowledged honestly. Matt shrugged, but his face had tightened, and she couldnРІР‚в„ўt help feeling anxious.

РІР‚ВI suppose I should be getting back to the cottage.РІР‚в„ў РІР‚ВI think so,РІР‚в„ў she said finally, reaching for her wrap and draping it about her shoulders. Yes, she was okay yes, sheРІР‚в„ўd loved making love with him but God knew where they went from here. It was a simple question, but Joanna didnРІР‚в„ўt have an answer. Her tongue circling her upper lip, she said nervously, РІР‚ВAre you all right?РІР‚в„ў The fabric clung to his still damp body, and Joanna thought it was as sexy in its way as his bare skin. He pulled on his shorts and picked up his discarded polo shirt, which Joanna must have collected from further down the beach. РІР‚ВSheРІР‚в„ўs probably wondering where youРІР‚в„ўve gone.РІР‚в„ў

РІР‚ВNo, I think itРІР‚в„ўs Teresa,РІР‚в„ў replied Joanna in a low voice. РІР‚ВWho is it?РІР‚в„ў he asked, pushing himself up into a sitting position and reaching for his shorts. Matt was inclined to say he didnРІР‚в„ўt much care, but it was obvious Joanna didnРІР‚в„ўt want the embarrassment of one of his staff finding him in the nude. She had evidently been shaking him, and when his eyes opened, she murmured softly, РІР‚ВSomeoneРІР‚в„ўs calling you. M ATT REALISED HE must have slept for a few minutes because when he opened his eyes, Joanna was on her feet, her swimsuit restored, bending over him.
