I…I wanted to…make love with you.” It had begun as a whisper and finished as little more than a breath. “I don’t want to be a virgin anymore.” Ronan blinked slowly, positive he couldn’t have heard her properly. “Excuse me?” he said, for lack of any other words. Of all the reactions he’d anticipated from Cassie, this wasn’t one of them. It didn’t even come close to the risk mitigation strategy he’d devised last night. Sleep, as usual since he’d arrived in Australia, had eluded him. Instead he’d been busy imagining every possible scenario that could happen as a result of the evening with Cassie, and how he’d manage it. Including how he’d submit his resignation to his father, imagining the disappointed but unsurprised look on Patrick Conroy’s face. He’d written the letter in his head and been more than a little shocked at his own sense of loss and guilt at the idea that Conroy Corporation wouldn’t be his.
