Her reaction was much like mine when I saw it for the first time. In awe. Especially at the mountains off in the distance. “I love this.”
“I’m glad.” I sat on one of the chairs near the pool and she joined me. “My mama said it’s missing something though.”
Her neck craned, looking back toward the house. Then her eyebrows bunched as she looked at me. “What’s that?”
“Love to fill it.” I added, “I thought I’d be on my bachelor ish for a few years. But I may have to admit, she was right twice.”
Gigi’s lip tugged into her mouth, and I wanted to pull her into my lap. She swallowed. “So, your bachelor days are over?”
“I’m hoping to give away my final rose.”
Her eyes twinkled. “You know that’s from theBachelorshow, right?”
I laughed. “Yeah. Blame it on one summer in the house with Corinne. It’s all she watched.”
“Well, on the show the bachelor has a ton of options before he makes his final decision. Are you sure it’s me you want to give it to? You don’t need to go on any other dates first?”
“If you can forgive me for being a dick and trust it’s not my character but a flaw in my judgment. One that I’m learning from. I completely understand why you’d have reservations about me. After what you went through.” I watched her face as it went from a beautiful smile, to a frown. “I can assume you’d compare my trash behavior to his. But I hope I’ve done more good than bad.” I mumbled, “In the short amount of time we spent together.”
“I was. For a while. Compared your one mistake to his many. Didn’t want to consider it was only that. A mistake. But after a while, I don’t want to even think of him anymore. Not even if it’s to compare his terrible deeds.”
I challenged, “Do you want to think of me?”
Her chest heaved, then her head turned toward the pool. The sun began to set over the mountains, and she said, “More than I’m willing to admit. I want to be cautious though. I don’t want to end up where you found me.”
“So…correct me if I’m wrong. It sounds like you are willing to accept this rose.”
She eyed me. “Maybe not thefinal rosebut I’ll take the date rose for sure.”
“And would I be pushing it to ask if you’d like to help me christen my bed?”
Her eyes widened. “How many women have you taken to the fantasy suite?”
“What?” I turned my head to the side and caught a glimpse of her thigh. In my mind she was already stretched wide on my bed.
She sucked her teeth. “Thought you binged the bachelor. Corinne would be disappointed right now.”
I pointed to her and laughed. “First of all, that show is foul for that. Two women? Back-to-back.” I shook my head. “Don’t worry, we not running fantasy suites over here. You’d be the first, one and only, in my bed.”
“In that case…”
She didn’t have to finish that sentence. I was on my feet, wrapping my arms around her waist. She giggled as I threw her over my shoulder, thankful for my morning workout routine.
I didn’t know where my hands should land. I needed her more than I needed to land a throw on the field. Her dress crumbled under my grip but didn’t budge.
“Let me help you.” She huffed as she helped me pull it down her body. “Told you it was a little tight.”
I growled. “Ask me, it’s just right.” I kissed a trail from her collar bone to her earlobe. “This is better though.” I rubbed a hand against the hem of her panties. “You walking around the house in this.” I nibbled on her ear as one finger slipped beneath her panties.
“Ehm,” she said in a soft purr, “you think so?”
“I know so.” I lowered her onto the bed. “If I could nibble on this every night.” I lowered her panties. “I’d be a grateful man.”
“Oh…” she moaned into my sheets, and I hoped my walls memorized the sound. Some way they could play it back to me every night.
I continued an assault on her inner thighs. Kissing until I reached her center, and when I did, I didn’t stop until I felt her body tense and release a few times.
“Angelo,” her voice rung out like an opera singer, “no more.” She was tapping out.
