I take the last step to close the distance between us.
She doesn’t hesitate when I reach for her hand and place her palm against my chest. “Feel that?”
Her eyes dart from my chest to my face. “Your heart beating?”
I nod. “It only beats like that when I’m around you. Hell, in Easton Pub, I could have passed out when I first saw you.”
The smile on her lips travels to her eyes. “You liked what you saw?”
I press her hand harder against my chest as my heart hammers inside. “There’s your answer.”
“You make me feel special,” she confesses. “Very special. I’ve never felt that from a man before.”
She should always feel special, wanted, valued and respected.
“You’re an incredible person,” I say honestly. “I consider myself damn lucky that I met you.”
Her bottom lip quivers. “I’m glad I’m here with you tonight.”
“Me too.” I reach my hands up to cup her cheeks before I take her mouth in a kiss that’s only a promise of what this night will bring.
Chapter 28
Bianca
Holding Roman’s hand, I follow him into the bedroom.
I can tell it’s the main bedroom because of the attached walk-in closet and what looks like a luxurious attached bathroom.
There’s a king-sized bed with navy blue bedding and a painting on the wall over the wooden headboard. The rest of the space is a blank canvas.
It’s hard to imagine he once lived here since the open closet door gives me a view into a row of empty hangers and a shoe rack with nothing on it.
“You didn’t take your bed with you when you moved?”
The corners of his lips lift. “I bought a new one. My sister lived here for a few years after I left. She moved out a couple of months ago, so I listed it. The broker staged it. This bed and another in the guest room are the only pieces that once belonged to me.”
Nerves tumble in my stomach as I watch him tug on the bottom hem of his sweater.
“I’m going to slip out of my clothes,” he says, watching me intently. “I’d like to undress you myself if that’s all right with you.”
I nod in response, my hands twisting in front of me. “I’d like that.”
His answer is a swift pull of his sweater over his head to reveal chiseled abs and a rock hard chest.
My gaze follows his hands as he undoes his belt, unbuttons his pants, and pushes them to the floor.
He steps out of them along with his shoes and socks.
When he finally looks at me, he’s wearing nothing but black boxer briefs.
Needing a moment to catch my breath, I point at his pants. “The condoms.”
“Right.” The word comes out quietly before he digs his hand in a pocket of his pants to pull out a few foil packets. He tosses them onto a nightstand next to the bed.
His head turns slowly until our eyes meet. “Tell me what you’re feeling right now.”
Trying to describe the rush of emotions hitting me is impossible, so I manage a small smile and one curt word. “Fine.”
“Fine?” he repeats back. “You feel fine?”
Nodding, I watch as he takes slow, steady steps toward me. My gaze drops to the front of his boxers. “I’m fine.”
Once he’s standing directly in front of me, his hands reach for mine. “I want more than that. Are you nervous? Excited? Ready to run out of here?”
I look into his eyes. “Yes, yes, and no.”
He smiles. “Good, good, and great.”
I don’t flinch when his hands move to the front of my dress. He holds the sash in one hand, yanking on it gently. “I’m nervous too. I’m fucking excited, and I’m tempted to lock you in here and keep you here for a week, maybe two.”
I let out a bubble of laughter. “What would we do for all that time?”
His hands move deftly to undo the sash, so the dress falls open.
“Goddammit. Look at you.”
I glance down at the black bra and panties I’m wearing. I had a red lace bra, and matching panty picked out to wear tonight, but since I never got home, it’s still sitting in a drawer in my bedroom.
His hands glide over my shoulders to push the dress from my body. “If I had you all to myself for a week or two, I’d fuck you two or three, maybe four times a day. We’d talk about life. We’d eat good food. We’d enjoy ourselves.”
His hands move again, this time to my back. He skims his fingertips over my skin until he reaches my bra.
I don’t move when he unclasps it with ease or when he slides it from my body to toss it on the bed.
“I’ve never seen anything as beautiful as you.” His voice is rough and filled with desire.
I take his hand again so I can step out of my heels.
