"We do," he says tightly. Eden squeezes my hand and vanishes.
The door clicks shut, closing me and Adriano in a private room.
As soon as we're alone, he presses me up against the door. He pins my hands by my shoulders and keeps me in place with a knee on either side of one of mine. I can't move, and I love it.
"The only reason why I left you with Eden in the kitchen was because I had to talk to Sergio," he says, his mouth to my ear. "I do not like being apart from you."
Oh, boy. Intense much? But of course, I love that. He doesn't want to be away from me, he likes being near me. And I sure as hell like being near him. He smells so good, and honestly, once you get past that gruff nature, he’s kind of nice to be around.
"Remember, I told you not to fall in love with me," I admonish, wiggling a hand free and waving a finger at him, which is quickly pinned right back to my side again.
"I have a surprise for you," he says, deftly changing the subject, but because I like surprises, I’m game.
"Yeah?"
"But first, kiss me."
My heart beats a little faster when he releases my wrists, and my hands instinctively go to his shoulders. Today, he's dressed casually, but there's nothing casual about Adriano. The white tee he wears, as basic as men’s attire gets, shows off his tanned, olive skin. It's molded to his body, highlighting the definition of his shoulders, the broadness of his biceps, his chest, and those abs…
I run a hand down the side of his face, feeling the roughness of stubble against my hand.
"Come here," I murmur, drawing him closer to me. He leans in, and I'm wrapped in the scent of Adriano—masculine and rugged, clean and sporty, with just a hint of wealth and elegance. I have to get on my tiptoes to reach his mouth, but I brace myself against him and his hands around my waist support me.
I brush my lips against his, the gentlest of touches. But even this small connection makes my heart race madly. It flutters in my chest like butterflies, as a trickle of desire skates down my spine, and heat creeps up my chest. When my tongue licks his he groans and grips my ass with his huge palm. Let's just say, Adriano knows all my erogenous zones and makes very good use of them. My ass is number one.
"I should've pegged you for an ass man," I murmur in his ear, when I take my mouth off his with reluctance, for the briefest hint of a second. Then I kiss him again, and it feels like sunshine, and summer, and freedom.
That earns me a sharp spank. "I like what's mine."
I kiss his cheek, his jaw, and trail my tongue down the column of his neck, relishing the sound of his masculine groan. His hardened length between us, I grind myself against him.
"I missed you," I say in his ear, surprised that it's the truth. I've never missed a man before, and I wonder at how the two of us have laid down our weapons. For now.
"But that doesn't mean I'm gonna take it easy on you," I say. I quite like sparring with him.
"Good," he says in a growl against my ear. "Because if you start behaving yourself, I'll run out of reasons to spank your ass."
He groans when I reach for his belt and begin to unbuckle it. "Don't." His voice is a sharp rasp.
"But Iwantto," I whine, pulling the end through the metal buckle.
"Quinn," he says warningly. "If you decide to disobey me now—"
I know, I know. We don't have time for what that will entail.
"Has it been a long time for you?" I say to him.
“Long time for what?”
“Since you’ve gotten laid.”
"No, I fucked you in the car on the way down here, or did you forget already?"
"No, silly. I mean before that?"
Not that I'm complaining. Believe you me.
"You could say that."
