The Marinis could easily pay for it. But I guess using your own money was not the thing to do. However, George had sounded so keen before.

I huffed. “Why dangle a carrot in front of you?”

He clasped my waist. “For attention. I won’t be as accommodating for him in the future.”

I wrinkled my nose. “Yeah. Forget George…but do you have other investors?”

“Not yet, but more will come to me.The Age of Sinsmashed box office expectations, and it’s up for more awards.”

I raised my brows. “Any I might know?”

“It has seven nominations for the Saturn Awards.”

I clasped my hands excitedly. My favorite genres were sci-fi and fantasy, which the Saturn Awards honored along with horror. It was one of the few awards I followed. “Wow, that’s so exciting.”

“It is, and the San Sebastián Film Festival is in Spain soon. We’re going.”

I raised my hands and shook my hips. “Woohoo!”

He grinned broadly. “Hmm, I want to see more of that, but don’t get too excited yet. It’s more like, I hope we can make it there. I’ve got Marini Corporate, the will, and a brand shoot in Milan. We have production meetings on other projects. Some I’ll need to give input on before I step back and work at Marini Corporate.” His smile turned rueful, and my heart contracted. He was right back to work and seemed to accept his dream would take longer. He deserved better than that. I felt the urge to tell him what I had learned about his mom, Luca’s will, and all the other problems.

“Come on, Adelina.” Rocco touched my face and kissed my lips. “Stay with me.”

I smiled and relented. I was also just as determined to have time just for us.

We finished cleaning up, then dried off. I reached for a robe in a cupboard, but Rocco took my hand and kissed the back. I turned around, and he clasped my waist. There was an intensity in his gaze that I’d seen before but didn’t fully understand. Or if I were honest, I wasn’t ready for it back then. But now, we were both bare in body and soul. It was his love for me pouring into my heart, and I could hardly contain it. “Tell me again how you feel, Adelina.”

“I love you, Rocco,” I said without hesitation.

He kissed me, and his hands rubbed down my arms. “I love you, Bella.”

My throat closed, and I couldn’t speak.

Rocco kissed along the curve of my neck and collarbone, running his hands down my arms. I pressed my lips softly against him as he took my hands and moved them behind my back to the marble counter, and without a word, I held on.

He took his time kissing down to tease my nipples with his tongue. “Mmm. Suck it,” I pleaded. “Mmm.” He drew on it hard, and my breasts tightened. I sucked in a breath and moaned.

“I love your big tits.”

“Rocco…”

“They’re sexy, firm, and so soft; I want to rub them all over me.” He nuzzled underneath, and I shivered and tingled between my thighs.

“All over?”

“Yes. Everywhere.”

“Oh?” I whispered, then moaned as he kissed above my mound.

“I’ll keep you naked all the time,” he said. “And your legs wide like this.” He pressed my thighs, then kissed down my stomach. “You make me so hard. I have to calm down, or I’d lose control and fuck you raw.” I shuddered under him as he kissed down to my belly button. “You want that, Bella? You want to let me fuck you for hours?”

“Ohh.” I panted and moaned. “Ohh, yes.” He stopped and stared down between my legs, and I was too turned on, too impatient to wait. “Rocco, please.”

“I love looking at you. You’re beautiful, aroused and so wet, so needy for me,” he said possessively. His features hardened with lust, and that took him over. I never felt more desirable than when he dropped all guards and let himself get lost in me.

“I love you,” I said, and it came easily from my lips, but the feelings made my heart swell into my throat.

“I want your love. I need all of you.” He lifted my leg onto his shoulder and sank his tongue inside me. I clutched the counter’s edge and arched my back as pleasure coursed through me. The sound of his hot licks made it too hard to keep from coming, and I could not hold back the climax that I knew would shatter me.
