“This is what you bought today?” His attempt to control the displeasure in his tone was weak.
My happiness at my purchase dropped like concrete rocks to the bottom of the Thames.
“You don’t like it?”
He turned to me. “Why did you buy it?”
“I loved the colour.”
He moved away to the chest of drawers, uncuffed his shirt sleeves, and dropped the cufflinks, watching me shrewdly in the mirror.
“And…?” he prompted.
I shrugged. “I liked the shape too.”
He dropped his shirt onto the chair and turned around with a scowl. Displeasure rolled off him.
“Anything else?”
I shook my head.
Without a word, he moved to the bathroom. I heard the shower turning on.
I didn’t dare tell him I had been in a bad mood after the call from Adam. The sofa had instantly cheered me up and made me forget arrogant Adam.
The sound of flowing water stopped, sending a tingle of fear up my spine. Sometimes, I just didn’t know what way was up with him. I was horny, nervous, and frightened all at once. Confusion crawled in my head.
He appeared at the doorway, droplets of water dripping down to his towel-wrapped bottom half.
“I just felt happy when I saw it and bought it. That’s all,” I blurted out.
He came to stand in front of the bed, looking down at me, making me regret my choice of sexy lingerie.
“Nothing else?” he hissed.
“No.”
He crawled onto the bed, coming to hang on top of me, legs on either side of me. I didn’t even know what we were discussing anymore.
He nodded towards the sofa. “Will you be sleeping there now?”
That’s what this is about?
Relief washed over me. I wrapped my hand around his neck and drew him closer for a kiss. “Of course not,” I whispered before letting my tongue drift into his mouth.
He seemed unsatisfied as he drew away from me.
“Anything else happen today, mia cara?” he asked me, his shoulders tense, watching me closely.
My breath hitched. I drew back. Could he know about the call? I didn’t think Franco heard me.
I shook my head. “Nothing interesting to report.”
His face darkened with the threat of a fight. I, on the other hand, was not in the mood for one. I was going after what I wanted, and what I wanted was him.
I sneaked my hand in between us and tugged the towel, freeing his erection. I let my hands cup his thickness and brought it closer to me. My back arched, and my ass pushed to his heat.
He ran his hand roughly on my cheek. The pad of his thumb, gruff, on my soft skin. His mood wasn't relaxed, but the lust burning in his eyes told me that whatever his internal battle was, he was ready to put it to rest.
