“Your ass always looks fucking good, and you know it. But how the hell am I supposed to take you on this counter when you’re wearing this one-piece pants thing.”

I nearly moan a response becausedamn, I want Nicco so fucking bad right now. This tension has been building between us, and I need a release soon.

“I seem to remember you like getting off in restaurant bathrooms,” he says. His cocky tone has me rolling my eyes, but I still let out a laugh.

“I can’t say you’re wrong there, but we were nearly caught last time.”

“That was the most exciting part,” he mutters while moving his lips to mine.

Our mouths touch, and the electricity between us is immediate. A surge of energy coils its way around our bodies, immersing us both in the moment. It doesn’t matter where we are or what’s going on, when his lips are on mine, moving in sync with my own, it’s like nothing else matters. It’s like nothing else even exists.

I run my hands through the soft strands of his hair. “Ineedto see you later,” he says, his lips never leaving mine.

Pulling back, I say, “Maybe I can spend the night at Liana’s tonight.” I give Nicco a knowing look. “After all, she’s very overwhelmed with how much work she has to do. I may have to spend the next few days helping her catch up on everything.”

A smirk pulls at Nicco’s lips. “Aren’t you such a good friend?”

I tighten my grip in his thick hair, causing him to angle his head back as the strands pull. “I’m a very good friend. But want to know what I’m even better at?” My eyes draw down to his lips, and I can’t help but lick mine.

Giving my ass another squeeze, he says, “Enlighten me.”

I lean down, bringing my lips so close to his ear that they caress it as I say, “Knowing exactly how you like my lips wrapped around your cock.”

Nicco groans and pulls me impossibly closer while thrusting his hips into me at the same time. I feel his hardened length through our layers of clothes, and it makes me wet on the spot.

“Tonight, Isabella. Your ass better be in my bed tonight, because I’m done waiting. I’m going to make you prove those words to me, and then after that, I’m going to finally take care of you the way I’ve been dreaming of for the past few years. I’m going to make you feel so fucking good you’ll never want to leave my bed.”

Nicco gives me another long, passionate kiss so full of want and need that we both nearly get lost in it, then he sets me back down on the floor and says, “Tonight.”

ISABELLA

Leaving Nicco in the bathroom, I head back out to Lux and Liana.

“Everything okay?” Lux asks as I sit back down in my seat.

“Yeah, one of us was about to go in there to see if you fell in the toilet or something,” Liana says.

I shake my head, brushing them off. “Yeah, you know me. Just getting distracted in bathrooms and all.” I take a sip of my rosé while Liana and Lux narrow their gazes on mine, clearly suspicious of my words.

“Okay, you’re acting weird,” Liana says.

“Yeah,” Lux says, “and what was that comment about…”

I snap my gaze to hers, and her eyes widen, putting the pieces together.

“Oh my gosh. Was…” Lux leans forward over the table and glances around the restaurant as if she’s worried about someone overhearing what she’s about to say.

“Ohhhh,” Liana says, and I’m sure she’s also caught onto my bathroom comment.

“Was Nicco just in there with you?” Lux hisses out from across the table.

“Maybe,” I say with a coy smile.

“That’s ballsy, Izzy,” Liana says. “I like it.”

“He wanted to see me,” I say with a shrug, but the smile never fades on my face.
