“Gabriella, give me your key.” He stepped back and the smile was gone. I handed him my key, he opened the door and gently pushed me inside.
“What happened?”
“I asked could I come inside and you said no.”
“So you’re leaving?”
“We agreed to take it slow. You’re right, my coming inside definitely isn’t taking it slow. It’s something that could be a little dangerous.”
“What’s that supposed to mean? You know what, never mind. Good night.” I slammed the door.
How dare he think I would sleep with him! I threw my bag on the chair and paced back and forth. That man! And where did the French come from? Not only do I have to figure him out in English, now I have to know French too.
Knock…knock…knock…,” Gabriella, open the door.”
“No,” I shouted back. A few seconds later the door opened. I turned around and he was standing in front of the closed door. “How did you get in here?”
“You forgot to take the key.” I walked over, snatched the key and he pulled me to his chest and kissed me so hard I forgot why I was angry. He slowly pulled back and stroked the side of my face. “Mon Amour, may I explain?”
Still heady from the kiss, I could barely get my reply out. “Su…su…sure.”
He smiled. “I thought some privacy would be better, but you were right.” I felt like an idiot. He brushed my lips with the ball of his thumb. “You’re not the kind of girl who wants to be on display. I apologize, but I couldn’t help myself. Those lips were calling me.”
I smiled. “I’m sorry. I thought you were trying to get me in bed.”
“The thought occurred to me.”
“Oh.”
He gently brushed my cheek. “I’m not going to lie. There is nothing that would delight me more, than to share my bed with you.” He brushed my lips with the tip of his finger.
“I…I…,”
“Shhh…let’s not cloud our minds with something that’s not relevant at the moment. Okay, Mon Amour?” He moved his mouth along my jaw, before covering my mouth with his in an amazing kiss.

I can’t believe she shut me down. The way she kissed me, I just knew…I thought we were on the same page. I heard the words come out of her mouth, but her body said something completely different. The way her body molded to mine as we kissed, I just knew I’d be in her room right now tasting every inch of her.
No...that’s what she said. I think she’s the first woman to not invite me in. What’s even worse, I’m not upset. In fact, her rejecting my suggestion makes me want her even more. True, I’m headed back t
o my suite to take a long, cold shower, but I’m good.
I walked into the suite and Tony was sitting on the sofa watching television. He looked at his watch. “What are you doing back so early?”
I closed the door, took my jacket off and rolled up my sleeves. “Uhm…” I grabbed a bottle of mineral water and drank it in one shot.
Tony pressed the pause button on the remote and placed his bowl of popcorn on the table. “Okay, what happened? Did you decide to skip dinner?”
I grabbed another bottle of water and walked over to the chair next to the sofa and sat down. “We had dinner, it’s dessert we skipped.”
“Let’s back up. Did she have a good time?”
“She said she enjoyed herself.”
