leaned in for a kiss. She felt everything in her
flutter then explode. Her nipples tightened and heat danced over her
nerve endings.
He pulled back then
rested his forehead against hers. “I really should go.”
She sighed, regret
heavy in her chest. “Yeah.”
Another kiss, this
one quick but just as tempting. “I don’t want to.”
Her heart jumped.
“Really?”
He gave her another
heated kiss. “I really want to take you back to your bedroom
and touch every inch of your flesh.”
She really should
say no. It was too fast, too much. But, instead, she threw caution to
the wind and slammed the door shut.
“ Sounds good
to me.”
Chapter Three
S ometimes I think
I think too much for my own good. –Kianna
Relief coursed
through Gianni as he pulled her against his body. He cupped her face
and leaned in slowly to kiss her. Part of him wanted to rush…gorge
himself on her. He fought those urges. He wanted this to last, to be
the one thing that they both remembered for decades to come. He swept
inside, taking in the taste of the tiramisu she had made. Was there
anything as delicious as that? He needed to see her skin, touch her
flesh. He walked her back as he tried pulling up her shirt. It took a
few tries to get the shirt up and over her head. He threw it
somewhere on the floor behind him as they kissed their way into her
bedroom. It was dark but he did his best to get her to the bed. They
fell onto the bed and bounced up together. She was still laughing
when he kissed her. He swallowed her joy, lapped it up. He had never
met a person with so much love for life.
He kissed his way
down her body, pausing long enough to undo her bra then continuing
on. By the time he had her naked, he was barely able to think of
anything but her. He pulled himself up to his knees and looked down
at her.
Thank the good lord
for curvy women.
“ Gianni?”
“ Sorry,”
he said trying to shake his head to get his brain to work.
He didn’t want
to wait. He wanted to dive into her, feel those muscles wrap around
him and lose himself in the wonder of being inside of her. But, he
knew better than to rush it. It had been a while for him—because
of the deployment and before it. He’d been preoccupied with
things…and hadn’t met anyone worth the effort.
Until Kianna .
He leaned down and
kissed her belly, then slipped down between her legs. He kissed each
one of her thighs. With each lick, he inched closer to his goal. When
he finally settled himself between her legs, he drew in a deep
breath. Her arousal mixed with her unique scent drifting over
him…teasing him…tempting him.
Gianni didn’t
hesitate. He placed his mouth on her sex. The first taste of her
danced over his tongue. Decadently delicious. Her fingers slipped
through his hair as he teased her clit, tugging on it with his teeth.
She shivered, telling Gianni that she was close….very close.
He pulled back and
she moaned. When he rose to his knees again, she was frowning at him.
He wanted to laugh, but he figured Kianna wouldn’t be any
happier with him.
“ What’s
the matter?” he asked, teasing her.
“ I’m
naked and you’re not.”
He looked up at her.
She was leaning back on her elbows as she looked at him. Just like
that first day, she stole his breath away.
“ That is
something I can definitely rectify.”
He pulled his shirt
over his head, but when he tried to undo his buckle, he was
embarrassed to find his hands shaking.
He slipped out of
bed and tried again, but she was already there to help. She slid to
the edge of the bed, grabbed hold of the waistband of his jeans and
tugged him closer.
“ I can help
you with that,” she said, her voice husky with her own need.
She undid the buckle then unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans. Within
moments, he was naked and she had her clever hands running over him.
She teased his cock, sliding the tip of her finger from the base to
the tip, then, she followed it with her tongue. Damn.
He usually
