From then on, they all got in their positions and scanned the hallway for any danger.
Aright. I guess I will. . .go in and check this place out.
As soon as I entered the suite, my mind was blown.
Of course the spacious area was opulently decorated, with plush, velvet furniture and sparkling chandeliers hanging from a gilded ceiling.
The large balcony doors offered a breathtaking view of the moonlit bay.
The doors were wide open.
Silken drapes billowed in the soft breeze, and the rhythmic sound of the ocean waves lapping against the shore provided a soothing backdrop.
On the other side of the suite, a romantic fire flickered in the fireplace. The scent of burning wood swirled with the ocean breeze.
Well. . .this would set. . .quite the mood.
My heart pumped in anticipation for Gianni’s return.
I was a virgin, and still didn’t know him well.
I know what I said, but. . .how much does he really expect from me tonight?
While many of his promises for this evening were lathered in sensual seduction, my nerves were still wrecked.
But what truly caught my eye was the white lingerie resting on the huge king-sized bed.
It was clear. . .Gianni expected me to have that on when he returned.
My heart pounded.
O-kay.
I approached the bed and reached out to touch the lace. It had been delicately woven into floral patterns.
I knew without even having it on that every inch would hug my curves.
Small pearls lined the straps for my shoulders and even waist.
I ran my fingers over the lingerie, feeling the softness of the lace against my palm. It was almost like a feather's gentle caress.
Lightweight and airy.
I was starting to realize that everything he did would be exquisite and in excess.
Even the bed was ridiculously oversized, swathed in rich, burgundy satin sheets and a mountain of plush pillows.
I picked up the lingerie and glanced at my reflection in the gold trimmed mirror nearby.
Wow. I went from Vampire Queen to Mafia Bride to now. . .Virgin Seductress? What a fucking night.
I studied myself.
The wedding dress had been gorgeous, but it felt restrictive now. I yearned to be out of its confines.
I took a deep breath and let the silk of the lingerie slide through my fingers.
Look at you. Vito had to drag you into this hotel and now you’re. . .getting sexy for Gianni? Just that fast?
