Well, what do you know?All that time I’d thought thatIwas hatching a plan to seducehim, he’d already set his sights on me.

Strange to hear him say he liked me, though. Clearly our chemistry tonight showed that, but since I’d arrived, he’d been so surly. I was curious to know what had changed.

‘If the last couple of hours hadn’t just happened, I would have been convinced that you didn’t even like me. In the lessons, you were always so cold towards me, and it was alwaysbene, Grace, buonissimo, Fran…’

‘Sorry about that,’ he replied sheepishly. ‘But I like you,’ he said as his fingers circled my nipples again. ‘I was always telling Erica that I think you are a beautiful woman.’ The tingling resumed between my legs. ‘Ask her. When I first saw you when you arrived here, this morning when you came down to breakfast, this evening when I saw your picture on the phone. I always talk about you. But I have also had a lot on my mind recently. And beautiful women can be bad for me too, so maybe I was nervous.’ His voice trailed off.

‘You?’ I said cynically. ‘Nervous? I find it hard to believe thatyouwould be nervous around women. From the way you touched me, I can tell that you’ve had alotof experience. And from what I’ve heard, I’m not the first guest you’ve been intimate with either. Apparently there have been several…’

‘No, Sophia,’ he said reassuringly stroking my hands. ‘You must not believe everything people tell you. Especially if that woman likes the person they talk about and is upset that man does not want to be with her.’ No doubt he was referring to Erica…and I couldn’t imagine she was best pleased with him saying he liked me, given their history. ‘I slept with maybe two guests in seven years, when I was single. It is not many. When I have a girlfriend, I behave myself. And until yesterday Ihada girlfriend. Now I am single again. That is why this has happened tonight.’ He leant forward and pecked me on the lips.

‘Mmm,’ I said, reciprocating his kiss. I think I actually believed him.

The fuzzy feelings were returning. I was horny and wanted to experience everything that had just happened all over again and more…

‘So,’ I said, placing my hand between his legs, ‘lesson number two?’

‘Sì,’ he confirmed. ‘But we must be careful. Grace could come out again. Let us go to your room, yes?’

Hmm. With Fran the eagle-eyed detective next door? She’d surely have a glass to the wall, listening out for every move.

‘Fran will hear us, and Dan’s room is close by too…’ Dammit. There was no point pretending that I could stay silent. If his touch could make me scream, God knows what I would do if he was inside me. I’d probably be so loud they could hear me from London.

‘Well, if we cannot have sex, maybe we can just go to sleep together in your room,’ he suggested. ‘We do not have to do anything. We can just hold each other and fall asleep.’

I looked at his gorgeous face and body with flashbacks of our time together this evening and knew there was no way I could just lie down beside this beautiful specimen and do nothing. Especially after realising how badly my body had been craving a man’s touch. It just wouldn’t be possible. It would be akin to being locked in the M&S bakery aisle overnight andnotburying my face in a Victoria sponge.

‘There’s no way we could be on the same bed and not end up ripping each other’s clothes off again,’ I said. ‘Impossible. Like you said, the connection between us is strong. You mentioned you’d been to London before for a girl. So why don’t you come to London to see me? If you do, then we can do lesson number two, three or even one hundred.’

‘Mmm…’ he muttered, mulling over the idea whilst running his fingers through his hair. ‘Maybe. It is a busy time here. Are you sure you do not want to do it tonight?’

My whole body was screaming ‘yes!’ but my head reluctantly said no. He started kissing my neck, and I didn’t have the strength to stop him.

‘You have no idea how much I want to, but…’

‘Okay,’ he conceded. ‘Next time. Well,’ he said, pulling away slowly, ‘I must wake up early to tidy up the dining room and prepare breakfast, so if we cannot fall asleep together, I will go to bed now.’ He stood up, then pulled me out of the sofa and into him before pressing his mouth firmly on to mine.

I could feel his heart racing and his hard-on against my thigh.

Ohhhhhhhh. Ireally, reallywanted to take this further…

‘I must go,’ he groaned as he gently stepped back. ‘You make me want you. And if I cannot have you, I must go now. It is too much.’

Aaaargghhh! Why oh why couldn’t Grace have waited longer before interrupting us?

‘Okay, goodnight, then,’ I muttered, my insides crashing with disappointment.

‘Before you go,’ he said, ‘please hold me.’

Strange request from a guy, but I was happy to oblige. He pulled me towards him again, wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder. We stayed there for a few minutes before he finally stepped away.

‘Buona notte, bella Sophia,’ he said, his eyes fixated on me.

‘Buona notte, Lorenzo,’ I replied.

And with that, he opened the door and disappeared outside.

Did that really just happen?

After years of suppressing sexual desire in every form and being lost in a non-physical long-term relationship, I, Sophia Huntingdon, had just experienced the first stages of spine-tingling passion with a hot Italian god. And do you know what? It felt fucking amazing!
