idea and quick .
     
    “ Like I said , Gina – you ’re very perceptive and you got it right - I am going to take you captive and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it.”
     
    “ Well that’s where you’re wrong,” she fired back angrily.  “ For a start I can just refuse to go with you ,” she told him confidently and look ed at her step mum for confirmation .  “ Tell him Grace, tell him he can’t make me and that his idea is ridiculous ,” she urged the older woman .   “ What you’r e suggest ing is tantamount to kidnap!”  She exclaimed shaking her head and making her corn coloured hair swish over her shoulders.  “ And y ou can’t do that, it’s against the law.”
     
    “So is industrial espionage, Gina,” he replied simply with a shrug.  “So I won’t tell anyone if you won’t,” he joked lightly.  “ And as for making you, as you put it, well we both know that I can make you do a lot things you think you won’t like , don’t we Gina?”
     
    Gina flushed, she couldn’t help it and she glimpsed her step mum’s face to see if she’d caught the hidden meaning behind those words but she gave no indication that she had .  Gina knew exactly what he was referring to and the memory made her face pink.  She didn’t need reminding how helpless he could make her and how much she enjoyed it when he did .   Flash backs of their intimacy in his office earlier filled her head.  He’d tied her hands, tied her hands , removed her underwear and helped himself.   Gina shook her blonde head as if trying to shake the images away.  Images of her lay on her back across his desk , the memory of the passion, the pleasure he’d heaped on her unsuspecting body and the uncontrollable heat of his touch was still fresh and raw.    
     
    “ You should have thought about the consequences before you stole my plans,” he reminded her.  “ Surely you didn’t imagine I’d just let you get away with what you did?”  He watched her scowl and turn from him.  “ If anyone asks you’re simply away on holiday for a few weeks.  That I’m keeping you captive will be difficult to prove.  I’m not that stupid, Gina.  But I do need to distance you from all the likes of Carlotti and his crew.”
     
    So Carlotti was the rival he feared the m ost.  But of course he had to be because he ran a n organisation as large and powerful as Dark’s .  And i f anyone could mount a race to beat Dark to market with the new product they were all hell bent on stealing from him then Carlotti could.  But could he also be the new business partner Charlie had spoken about?  If he was then ‘Carlotti and his crew’ were a formidable force and it wasn’t surprising that Matthew did n’t want her anywhere near them.  What she’d found out was too valuable.  Did Kyle Hastings suspect she knew about the product, s he wondered?  He’d helped her get away from Matthew’s penthouse last night and he must be curious about what she’d been doing there on her own.
     
    “I’ve already said I won’t talk to any of them, so there’s no need for this .  You’re over reacting, Mr Dark .”  She reassured him formally, which after what had happened between them this afternoon seemed quite ludicrous.   But h er voice was shaking with nerves.  S he realised now that she ’d not thought this through properly.   It was just possible that if Carlotti couldn’t get what he wanted from Charlie’s spy, whoever that was, once he’d spoken to Kyle, he’d come after her.
     
    “Well I don’t think I am and if you persist in arguing with me over this we could always take the whole sorry little tale, film and all, to the police.  What do you think?  The choice is yours”
     
    She was still being defiant, still fighting him and Dark w as fast loosing patience with her.  T he sooner he started teaching her how she should behave around him the better.  
     
    Gina scowled up at him again .  He was
