"Come on, you've gotta give me something, Luca." Skylar pleaded obstinately as they stepped out of a restaurant. "You checked us out of the hotel, and now you've made us order takeout instead of just eating in the restaurant. What is going on?"Luca smiled at the look of innocent curiosity in her eyes. What he hadn't told her was that he'd gone grocery shopping in the afternoon when he'd forced her to review the reports he'd been given at Reynolds and Associations, New Jersey branch, and he'd already brought the items to where he intended for them to spend the rest of the trip.Even though he wanted to keep his plans a secret, the look she was giving him broke his resolve, so he raised both his hands which held their takeaway bags of food and admitted defeat. "Fine. You aren't going to relent until I tell you, are you?""You know me." She crossed her arms on her chest with a victorious look, smacking her lips in a smug manner. The action reminded him of hot, wild kisses, the kind he
After ripping off each others clothes amid hot, hungry, passionate, utterly devastating kisses, Luca swept her off her feet with her in just her panties and him in his boxer briefs, carrying her bridal style across the hall she'd barely cared to admire and took her to a room down the hallway.Placing her on the bed, he shifted his weight on the space beside her without breaking the kiss. He slid his hand down her stomach, lower and lower. His hand travelled past the waist band of her panties, gliding through damp curls until his fingers finally reached their destination.A raspy moan tore from her throat when a gentle finger slipped into the fissure of her weeping sex. What little control she'd had on her emotions was gone; it couldn't exist beside such exquisite pleasure.He added a second finger, then a third, moaning along with her as though the sound of her pleasure gave him his. Finally breaking their kiss, his lips trailed along her jaw to her neck then lower, leaving feiry ting
The warm sunlight on Skylar's skin woke her up slowly. Opening her eyes and blinking to adjust her eyes to the light filtering through the curtains, she stretched her arm out to hold the man she thought was beside her, only to embrace a pillow.The panic that snapped through her was instant. Jerking up, she looked around the room, and not finding him, felt the cold arms of shock and denial as they wrapped around her. No he couldn't have left her just like that. He'd said he wanted something more than a one night stand.Trying to trample the doubts that scourged her mind, she got out of the bed and out of the room. Her fears dissipated when the delicious smell of coffee filtered through her nostrils together with the captivating smell of other aromas. Her stomach rumbled and she suddenly remembered that this was Luca's beach house and not her house.She let her savour trail her towards the mouthwatering scent, admiring the interior of the house as she went. The immediate view when you
Skylar emerged from the hallway about a minute later, her phone on her ear. "Nicole, I already told you I'm on a business trip with my boss. Yeah."She was so gorgeous and in her element with her wide hips and the rest of her luscious body on full display. And she looked so. . . pure.Ironic, huh? The thought was out before he could trample it. Luca stiffened. What the hell was wrong with him?He watched her and sat up straight as she slumped into the far end of the couch, lifting her legs to place them over his thighs. "I already told you how much I hate these surprise visits of yours. I've told you a thousand times that you should give me prior notice before visiting me. Now look that you've wasted a trip."She tossed her head back and sighed as her sister said something on the other end. "Nicole, I'm not scolding you. I'm just..." She gasped as he ran his hand along her inner thighs. "...pointing out the facts."He loved the sounds she made when he touched her, and a naughty thought
"Skylar babe!" Daniella Hoying shouted, obviously giddy with excitement as Skylar approached the table by which she stood fretting. She didn't seem to care about the disapproving glares the other people in the restaurant were throwing her.Unable to help her own excitement, Skylar met her in a vehement hug that made her stumble a little. It'd been almost a year since she'd seen her best friend, so she hadn't wasted time in skipping the ten minutes she had at work before lunch break after Ella had phoned her."Oh my God, I missed you so much, Skylar." The blonde gushed loudly. "I can't believe it's been like a year already. Even more! I missed you too. Much much more." Unable to help it, they embraced in a jittery hug once again as Skylar felt joy bubble through her."Yes, it's been a year." Ella agreed, taking her seat after they'd broke the hug. "But the year has been so good to you. Damn, you look even more radiant and gorgeous." Her eyes scanned Skylar as she also took her seat,
A light knock echoed through Luca's quiet office. He frowned, wondering whether it was Sandra. Hadn't she announced her departure like half an hour ago?The person who entered, however, wasn't Sandra. This one had anticipation tearing through his veins."Skylar?" He said, smiling warmly at her. "You know you didn't have to knock, right?""Um, Sir, I just came to enquire whether you needed anything. You see my time is up." With her handbag slung on her left arm, she twiddled her fingers and avoided his gaze modestly, pulling her face into a pouty, seductive look which still managed to look innocent.Desire punched him in all the right places. The woman could just drink from a straw and look sexy as hell."Uh, you mean you just came to ask whether I could give you what you need?" He asked with a teasing smile.She batted her eyelashes at him and huffed in mock annoyance as she looked away. "I don't know what you are talking about, Sir.""Oh you don't?" He stood up and grinned, grateful
Torture.To Luca, having to see Skylar for the next two days walking around him in snug skirts and just being herself while forcing himself to keep his hands to himself, to not grab her and kiss her senseless and then revel in the heated depths of her pussy, was the new definition of torture.He swore there were times his control was just about snapping but for some divine grace. But he knew it was for the best because he couldn't afford to show anymore vulnerability. He'd shown enough weakness in the elevator as it is. Skylar on the other hand had exuded nothing but control and self restraint so much that he felt emasculated, a first which scared him shitless. Because he was beginning to fear that the woman didn't crave him as intensely as he craved her.Luca's phone dinged with a notification as he stood in front of the counter in a grocery store waiting for the salesgirl to issue the deduction of the money for what he'd bought and hand him back his card. Looking at the screen, he
"Zack, I think you should leave now. I'll see you later." She pointed outside. With a passive spiteful glance Luca's way, Zack left, and Skylar closed the door. She turned to him and smiled as if nothing had happened. "Sorry about that."I KNOW SKYLAR, AND SHE'S NEVER SATISFIED WITH JUST ONE DICK FOR EVEN A WEEK.The words echoed in his head before he had enough time to block them out. He turned to Skylar. "Have you slept with him before?"She froze and then blinked. "Sorry?""I was just asking whether you've slept with him before. He seemed to know a lot." It was all he could do to appear nonchalant instead of incensed by the mere possibility of his assumption proving right.She stared at him for some seconds before shaking her head and walking towards the living room. "No. He's just the barman at one of the bars I liked to go to."Luca knew he should be cutting off the conversation. Instead he mused, "And he knows where you live?"Sighing, Skylar sunk into a fluffy couch, placing th
