Incredulity blanked her mind for several seconds. Her heart rocketed around her chest in some stupid manic excitement until the words that had preceded Johnny’s proposal hit home, firing up a surge of anger that lifted her right out of her father’s chair to hurl a furious rejection at him. ‘You think I’d marry you for your money?’ She didn’t wait for a reply, so total y incensed by the suggestion, she flew straight into attack. ‘How dare you lump me with the kind of women who hang off you for what you can give them?’ Her arms scissored a dismissal of absolute disgust. ‘Which just goes to prove how tainted your thinking is by the life you lead. Buy a woman here. Buy a woman there. Have one in every port of cal .’ Her mocking hands landed on her hips, planting themselves there in a bel igerent flaunting of her own femininity which wasn’t for sale. ‘Wel , not at Gundamurra. Not even if I was reduced to eating dirt would I join that queue for your favours.’ He had the gal to look amused, his eyes twinkling unholy mischief at her as he observed, ‘So, you see me as some indiscriminate sex machine, churning through women at a rate of knots, probably not even remembering their names.’ She glared back at him, wishing she hadn’t let her tongue loose on this theme.
