Her eyes widened in obvious delight. And then, because Gia was nothing if not fun, she asked, “What would you have done if it said no?”

“Lied about my question.”

She laughed when he bent slightly, his shoulder catching her middle as he lifted her in a fireman’s hold and carried her back to her bedroom.

“Xander,” she started, gripping his forearms when he set her back on her feet next to her bed.

He stood there a moment, until she was steady, then he took a few steps back, letting the smile fade from his face, his inner alpha rising to the surface.

“Take off the rest of your clothes.” His demand was spoken in a deep, firm voice, one that took her aback, even as he saw its impact on her. Her nipples were budded and poking through her blouse.

“We really aren’t going to talk about this?” she asked.

He crossed his arms. “Do you need to talk about it?”

She considered that, then slowly shook her head.

“Then do as I say. I don’t like to repeat myself.”

Gia licked her lips, but he was under no impression that she was nervous. She was aroused and just as ready for this as he was. She proved that when she muttered, “God, you are so ridiculously hot.”

He felt a grin tugging at his lips, but he resisted the urge.

Gia reached up and slipped the first button on her blouse free, then the second and the third. The entire time her eyes remained locked with his, never faltering, letting him see straight inside her. He almost imagined he could see all the way to her soul.

She was so beautiful, and he wondered how in the hell he’d held himself back all these years. Then it occurred to him that this was the first time in their lives that the stars had aligned. Until this moment, there’d always been some roadblock between them, be it her age or his career or her boyfriend.

Tonight was the first time he’d been free to open his eyes, to claim what was always meant to be his.

Xander stepped closer when her blouse fell open, running his fingers underneath the silky material, stroking her shoulders and arms as he pulled it off.

Gia turned away from him, remaining close, her ass brushing against his crotch, feeling his obvious erection. “Unhook my bra?”

He flicked the clasp open, then let his hands follow the same path they’d just taken, slowly sliding the straps over her arms until the lacy bra fell to the floor.

Gia shivered in response. Then the confident, gorgeous woman turned back to face him, giving him his first unhindered view of her naked body. Her arms remained at her sides as she let him look his fill.

Unable to resist, Xander reached out, pinching one of her tight nipples, continuing to apply pressure until Gia hissed, shock mingled with pain and pleasure. “Your tits are perfect.”

She huffed out a breathy laugh. “Sweet talker.”

He treated her other nipple to the same rough pinch before cupping her breasts in his hands, squeezing and stroking them until Gia’s eyes closed and her breathing became deeper, heavier.

“That feels so good,” she whispered. “I can’t believe this is happening. I always?—”

Xander paused, waiting for her to finish. When she didn’t, he pinched her nipple roughly.

“Look at me, Brat.”

Her eyelids lifted slowly, her gaze finding his.

“Have you thought about this? You and me?”

She nodded. “I’ve always had a…” She grimaced, and he knew what word she was going to use before she said it. “Crush on you.”

She obviously didn’t like that descriptor. “Does the age difference bother you?” he asked.

She shook her head quickly. “Not at all. A lot of my cousins have fallen for older men.” She gave him a devilish grin. “Apparently we Sparks girls have a type.”
