My stomach flutters every time I look at him, and whenever his eyes catch mine, the butterflies go crazy.
“Oh yes!” Yuki says. “We need to take you to Yukhaejang. Skylar owns it.” When I frown, she quickly explains. “Georgi’s mom. She’s a chef.”
“I’d love to go out for lunch with you,” I reply, feeling much better than when I first met Yuki and Nina.
They have been so friendly and gone out of their way to befriend me.
“And La Torrisi,” Nina says. “The food is just as good there. It’s Georgi’s restaurant.”
An arm wraps around the front of my neck, then Adriano says, “Those restaurants are for dinner. Go to Piccola Sicilia for lunch.
“Who owns that one?” Nina asks.
“It’s mine,” he replies before pressing a kiss to the top of my head and walking to where Tori and Valentina are placing dessert on the table.
“Aunt Tori, did you make your famous cannolis?” Augusto asks.
“I sure did.”
The next second, everyone rushes toward the table to grab one while Adriano escapes with two, bringing one to me while he eats the other.
“Thank you.” I smile at him as he sits down, and when I sink my teeth into the pastry and the creamy sweetness hits my tongue, I moan.
Heat ignites in Adriano’s dark gaze as he stares at my mouth, and seeing the desire on his face makes my abdomen clench hard.
Sweet Jesus. He can’t look at me like that while we’re surrounded by family and friends.
I take another bite while glancing at the bonfire that’s still going strong, but feeling his eyes burning on me, I can’t keep from looking at him again.
“Eat faster.” His voice is nothing but a low growl, making arousal pool between my thighs.
Shit. Am I ready?
Little too late to ask that question now! You gave him a blow job last week, remember?
I only take one more bite before handing the rest to him. He eats the whole piece in one go, then leans forward and swipes his thumb over the corner of my mouth, before sucking the creamy filling off.
I find it so hot my breathing begins to speed up.
“We’re heading home,” Remo says. “Giana will be dropping off the kids in an hour.”
“Us as well,” Nina mentions. “Raya was kind enough to babysit for us.”
Everyone gets up to say goodbye, and when Nina and Yuki each give me a hug, I really hope I get to hangout with them soon. We exchanged phone numbers earlier, so we’ll see what happens.
“We’ll call you for lunch,” Yuki says.
“I’d love that.”
One by one, the couples leave, then Adriano takes my hand. “Thanks for today, guys.”
“It was our pleasure.” Tori grins happily, then Angelo tugs her onto his lap and says, “Have a good night.”
Adriano links our fingers as we walk toward the path, and I glance at all the garden lights and how magical everything looks while trying not to obsess over whether we’re going to have sex tonight.
“What are you thinking?” He asks when we walk past the pool.
“Ah… Just about how nice everyone is.”
“It looks like you get along with Yuki and Nina,” he mentions.
“I like them a lot. They said they’ll call to make plans for lunch.”
“That’s good to hear.” Adriano shuts the glass doors after we enter the house, and I begin to feel more nervous.
I rub my hands up and down my arms, then turning around, I walk toward the staircase. Hearing him behind me, it feels like he’s about to pounce at any moment, making shivers rush down my spine while my heartbeat speeds up and my stomach does crazy cartwheels.
Breathe. Just breathe.
When we enter our bedroom, I walk to the closet and ask, “Do you want to shower?”
“Sure.” Tingles rush through me from how low and deep his voice is.
I grab my usual pajamas, but Adriano’s chest presses into my back and his hand settles over mine. Lowering his head until I feel his breath ghost over my ear, his voice is pure sex. “No clothes. Not tonight.”
Sweet Jesus.
My abdomen tightens, and goosebumps erupt on my skin. Licking my lips nervously, I whisper, “Okay.”
Stepping out from between his body and the shelves, I walk to the bathroom, and shutting the door, I suck in deep breaths.
God, I have to shave!
I dart forward to switch on the faucets, and while the water warms, I quickly brush my teeth and tie my hair up so it won’t get wet.
Even though I hurry, I wash myself twice and make sure I shave everywhere. After I shut the faucets again, and I’m busy drying my body, my eyebrows lift as I realize something.
Do I walk out naked?
I shake my head, and grabbing my lotion, I put some on before I wrap a dry towel around my chest, tucking one corner into the top so it won’t come loose.
