Her heart pumped fast and hard as she came. Soon after, Antonio came before collapsing on top of her, breathing heavily. She relished in the drowsy warmth of his embrace, savoring the moment.
Feeling deeply satisfied and richly desired. Luther Vandross’s hauntingly beautiful ballad “So Amazing” played through the speakers. Yes, Lucy concurred with “truly it’s amazing…it’s so amazing to be loved…”
Now the only feeling drifting through Lucy as she lay on top of Antonio’s muscular chest listening to his strong heart beating rhythmically was that Antonio was amazing. He made her feel amazing. And she didn’t want it to end. Ever.
CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Antonio was incredible, Lucy thought to herself waking up a short time after they’d made hot, passionate love. She turned her head to glance his way and saw that he looked like he was dreaming in his sleep, a sexy grin curled his lips. She admired the beauty of his dark long lashes as he lay with his eyes closed.
He’s stunning!
She wondered what time it was. Her eyes caught the display of the digital clock on the bedside table. It was five o’clock in the morning.
Mon Dieu!
Why was she thinking in French all of a sudden? Was it because it was the language of romance? She quickly got up off the bed and gathered her clothes from the floor. Her long, satin ball gown.
What had she done?
She was supposed to have attended the charity ball then leave that evening, not the next morning from Antonio Romero’s bed.
But it was what she’d dreamed about for so long.
Antonio Romero.
He looked as if he was in a deep sleep and she didn’t want to wake him. Not just yet, anyway.
The naughty thoughts of last night’s remarkable sexual adventure was more than overwhelming. Lucy was grinning from ear to ear. The memory of his silky touch on her skin left her feeling on top of the world.
Incredible!
Just as Lucy headed to the en suite bathroom, she stopped dead in her tracks.
Footsteps.
She thought she heard the sound of feet shuffling outside the door. It must have been her imagination. She carefully walked closer to the door and her heart flipped in her chest. She spotted a shadow underneath the door but that shadow vanished.
The corridor lights were on outside so it was obvious to her she wasn't imagining things. Her stomach churned with anxiety.
Was somebody spying on us?
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Later that day, Lucy sat at her desk in her office at Dream Weddings, Inc. sipping on her French vanilla latte. She had a mound of paperwork to go through but oddly enough, her mood wasn’t as dark as it had been during the week.
She ran over the events of the morning in her mind and a smile warmed her heart. She couldn’t help but feeling mellow inside. She was feeling dizzy with excitement. She felt so on top of the world. Love did that to a girl.
Antonio Romero. Had she fallen, God forbid, in love with Antonio? She couldn’t have. But she cared so deeply for him. Her mind was dominated with thoughts of him with her, inside her, around her. What were these feelings she had for him nestled in the cushion of her heart?
Love.
She was like a school girl again. Or more realistically, she was more like a girl who had fallen head over shoes in love since she hadn’t actually fallen in love in school. She had never had feelings like this for Jeff or anyone else for that matter. Lucy gave Antonio her whole heart. Would he give her his? She knew Antonio cared deeply for her. He told her so many times when they’d made love last night and the way he looked at her and treated her with such high regard and respect.
He took her home early that morning and made sure that she was okay before tending to a business meeting at his office.
It was midday and she would be expecting Maxine to come in any moment. Maxine had a meeting with the vendor dealing with the upcoming mob-style wedding couple. So far everything was in place and safety measures were set. Yes, even fake mob weddings needed to have safety measures in place.
Not even that bothered Lucy.
Lucy also had a productive meeting with the legal team regarding that dreadful twelve-million dollar lawsuit the company was facing. On advise of her bookkeeper she decided not to get an ulcer over it and let the powers that be handle it. That legal mess had torn Lucy up when she had first heard about it but the matter was out of her hands now and dealing with her current clients and making sure the business ran as smoothly as possible was on the top of her list of priorities. Besides, the case could take forever in the court system which would give her enough time to gather the right documents together and help her company’s defense team. She had to make sure not to dishonor her aunt’s memory. Even though that disastrous wedding occurred while on her aunt’s watch.
