“I’m going to need you to do that again later,” I say.
“After you feed me,” she breathes.
I let out a laugh. “Come on, then.” I zip my pants up, and we rise to our feet. “Let’s eat as quickly as we can and be back here in an hour.”
“Why?” she asks, crinkling her brows.
I brush my lips against hers, her warm breath hitting the space above my lips. “Because that’s how long I think I can go before I need to make you come.”
She sweeps a pair of hungry eyes at me. “I guess we better hurry then,” she says, her lips meeting mine with a delicacy that makes me reconsider leaving the villa at all.
Chapter 25
Mia
It’sdayfourofour stay in Monaco, and we’ve only toured one location so far. We paid a visit to the Princess Grace Japanese Garden two days ago and spent the better part of the day exploring the garden and the city. Today, though, I’m determined for us to get serious as we take a self-guided tour around Casino de Monte Carlo.
“This is probably the most beautiful building I’ve ever seen,” I say as we approach the palace-esque building overlooking a large green lawn with rose bushes leading the way to the entrance.
The parking lot is filled with a sea of exotic cars, further adding a touch of luxury to the entire property. It’s probably one of the more extravagant locations I’ve ever visited.
Carter lets out a huff. I shoot him a glare, but I keep my lips curled up in a smile so he knows I accept his teasing.
“You can’t tell me this isn’t breathtaking,” I say, gazing up at the three-story building.
“It is,” Carter says, and I can feel his blue eyes piercing into me. He holds out his hand. “Should we take a stroll?”
I take my hand in his, and we walk over to the shopping plaza, filled with luxurious shops surrounded by lush greenery. Above each store are several floors of apartments, some with balconies that wrap around the building.
“Do you think Kasey would visit a place like this?” Carter asks about our heroine when he catches me eyeing the apartments.
“Definitely,” I say. “Have you been here before?”
He shakes his head.
“Have you ever been to Monaco?”
He smiles and shakes his head again. “This is my first time. I’ve been to Italy, France, and Spain but never stopped by Monaco.”
I nod. “What do you think so far?”
He breathes out a laugh. “It’s as romantic as you claim.”
“I’ve always wanted to visit Monaco,” I say, eyeing one of the designer department stores as we pass by it. “When Michael and I vacationed in Europe a couple of years ago, we only went to the places he wanted to go.”
I regret mentioning him, thoughts of his possible retribution starting to pop in my mind. A look at Carter is enough to push them away.
He throws his hand over his mouth in a very sarcastic gesture. “You mean to tell me heneverbothered to bring you here?”
I nudge him playfully. “It doesn’t matter anymore,” I say. “I was in a relationship with him for four years, but it’s taken me only a few months to realize how unhappy I was through most of it. There were so many occasions when I should have dumped him, but especially when he didn’t take me to Monaco.”
We stop in the middle of the walkway. Carter faces me, caring little about the other guests who need to walk around us.
“If it makes you feel better, he most likely won’t be taking a European vacation anytime soon,” he says.
I narrow my eyes on him. “You must be so pleased with yourself.”
He embraces me in a hug, pulling me in close to his chest. “You can’t possibly tell me it doesn’t feel good to know you won’t ever have to run into him at a work event ever again.”
