Gia shook her head. “I don’t believe you.”
“You have no idea what you do to me.” My voice was rough.
Her gaze met mine, and whatever she saw in my eyes must have told her I was telling the truth.
“One night. No strings. No one needs to know.”
Something flashed in her eyes. She wanted me too. “I don’t normally sleep with my competitor.”
“Is that what I am to you?” I was supposed to look out for her, like her brothers did. But I wasn’t ever in the position to do so. We’d kept our distance over the years. And in my case, it was necessary. As soon as we got close, I proved that I couldn’t control myself.
“I don’t do relationships. I don’t have the time or patience for them.”
I chuckled. “It’s a good thing I’m not looking for one.”
She gave me a slight nod of her head.
“You want to get out of here?” I asked, needing to make sure I read her signals correctly.
Gia shrugged. “I don’t need to say good-bye. Leo and Harper already left, and—”
I grabbed her hand and started walking. “You don’t know the bride or groom.”
Gia jogged in her heels to keep up. “My room or yours?”
“Mine.” I curled my fingers tighter around hers as I led the way through the dance floor and out of the tent.
Despite her bravado, I sensed that Gia didn’t pick up men. That meant she was selective with whom she slept with.
I should have been contemplating the repercussions, but instead, I was planning every way I could have her in the next few hours. I’d do everything I could to get her to stay the night. I knew she’d want to bolt as soon as it was over, but I didn’t want that. I wanted to see her come apart, and I wanted to be there to put her back together again.
She wasn’t a one-night stand or a conquest. She was everything I’d ever wanted. I didn’t have any plans beyond tonight. I refused to let myself think that way.
One night. No strings. That’s what I’d promised her, and that’s what I’d deliver. But I didn’t promise to leave her the same when I was done. I wanted to ruin her for all other men, and I would. She’d be begging for more in the morning. I was positive about that.
I didn’t stop until I stood in front of my penthouse on the top floor.
“Is this where you live?” Gia asked, taking in the large suite and the floor-to-ceiling windows that faced the bay.
“I own a house too.”
“Of course, you do,” she muttered as she moved around the room, seemingly drawn to the balcony. I opened the slider, and she stepped through. She stood at the railing, her hair blowing in the breeze.
I stepped behind her, sweeping her hair off her shoulders to place a kiss on her bare skin. “I could have you here. Bend you over and spread those gorgeous legs. No one would see us.”
Her breath hitched.
“You want that.” My body tensed, wanting more, but I waited.
She turned, looping her hands around my neck. “I want you.”
My hands gripped her hips. We hadn’t kissed in the closet, and I made up for lost time now. I explored her mouth, my tongue tangling with hers, as I pressed ever closer to her body.
She broke away. “I want to taste you.”
“I want to fuck you.” I expected her to flinch or step back, telling me I wasn’t what she wanted. But instead, her eyes flared with desire.
“You want that too. I can make you feel so good.”
