He laughs, grabbing a small bandage and placing it over the cut. “There you go,” he says once he’s done. “Good as new.”
“Thank you,” I whisper, swallowing softly.
Roman’s eyes lift and he must realize the position we’re in because he suddenly stills. He’s close enough that I can see the scar on his upper lip. It’s new, wasn’t there a year ago. Just a tiny scar that isn’t noticeable until you’re standing right in front of him. I want to ask how he got it.
Dark blue eyes trail across my face, leaving simmering heat behind. Roman’s hand falls on my bare thigh. He strokes me there once, twice causing heat to shoot straight through my core. I haven’t felt desire in over a year. Not since I was with him.
It feels like I’m a recovering addict about to fall back into old habits. But Roman’s not a habit—he’s a drug. And one I’m not sure I ever want to recover from.
My next words come out slow, sensual.
“The airport heiress, is she your girlfriend?” I ask, trying to ignore the bolt of jealousy cutting through me.
Roman watches me through half-lidded eyes. “No,” he replies gruffly.
“No?” I slide my hand up his neck, pulling him closer while grabbing a fistful of hair.
My stomach swoops and dives as Roman’s lips hover close to mine. Close enough to kiss. My breasts brush against his chest and my heart speeds up. Racing.
“If you’re going to kiss me, Elena, fucking do it,” Roman says against my lips.
For some reason, I hesitate. But when my lips part, he doesn’t waste another second before his mouth meets mine. Pure lust erupts inside me so violently I grow dizzy. I run my fingers over his chest, aching for the touch of his bare skin. He smells so good, addictive, and I can’t help but feel like I could get lost in him.
He pushes his tongue into my mouth and it’s hot and wet and fucking amazing. Butterflies flutter across my skin when Roman’s hand travels up to my neck, teasing the skin there softly. I gasp when he bites my bottom lip before sucking the sting away. It’s erotic and maddening at the same time.
A shiver rolls through me when his hand plays with the hem of my shirt, feeling for bare skin. With hardly any effort, Roman lifts me off the counter. I wrap my legs around his waist, too far gone to think about anything but the feel of him. He places me against the kitchen wall as he continues to ravage me. I can feel his erection beneath my ass, hard and thick.
“Oh god,” I moan as Roman continues to kiss me like I’m the air he breathes.
I reach for the buttons of his shirt and I’m about to pop one open when we hear a soft cry. Roman’s head snaps up and my eyes blink open. We both turn to the baby monitor on the counter. Water is effectively doused over our desire. Roman steps back and I slowly slide down to the ground. I’m a little unsteady on my feet but I manage to gain my balance as I look anywhere but at him.
“I’ll go check on her,” he mutters, quickly exiting the kitchen.
I groan softly, covering my face as I throw my head back against the wall.
What the fuck did I just do? Dammit, Elena.
I take a couple of seconds to gather myself before Roman returns with Cassie. I reach for her and he places her in my arms.
“I think she needs a diaper change,” he informs me.
“Yeah, I can smell that.”
He smiles. “I’ll do it.”
My eyes widen and I clutch Cassie to my chest as I look up at him. “You’ll what?”
“Change her diaper,” he says in a dry tone.
“You, you… Have you ever changed a diaper before?”
He shakes his head. “No. But you can show me. I might as well learn. You’ve changed your fair share over the past couple of months. It’s my turn.”
I feel my heart soar. Since when was Roman De Luca such an amazing man? I mean, I’ve always known he’s alright, but he really grew up to be pretty close to perfect.
“Yeah, sure. I can teach you,” I say softly
We head into the room and I grab a diaper, quickly showing him how it’s done. He watches attentively and I’m beyond shocked as I look at him. If anyone would have told me that the Don in the Cosa Nostra would be willingly changing diapers, I’d have called bullshit. But he’s here and it’s pretty amazing.
