A low, throaty moan spills out as she savors the taste. “Mmm,” she hums, her eyes fluttering shut for a moment.
Not helping!
My cock throbs insistently, remembering what it feels like when she moans like this with a mouth full of me.
“Good?” I ask, even though the answer is written all over her blissful expression.
She nods, her lips curving into a smile that’s equal parts grateful and teasing.
“Perfect,” she whispers, her voice a little husky. It’s not just the food she’s talking about.
Little minx.
For someone as innocent as her, she sure learned quickly how to wrap me around her little finger.
“Let’s keep going,” I say, grabbing another piece of bread.
This time, I add a few slices of fig, having discovered earlier how much she loves a mix of sweet and savory. I feed her again, and the way she looks at me as she takes the bite makes my chest ache in the best way.
She leans back against the pillows, relaxed and glowing. It makes me want to take care of her like this forever.
Before I can prepare another bite for her, my phone rings. Mari’s brows lift in surprise.
“I thought no one calls you when you’re here.”
“Only Tiero or Rom. This will be my brother. He’s about to fly to Brazil.”
Sure enough, when I pick up my phone from the other bedside table, Tiero’s name flashes on the screen.
“I need to take this,dolcezza.”
“Of course. I’ll put away the groceries that are still all over the kitchen.”
Yeah, we didn’t get the chance to put things away. As soon as the bags were inside, I was on her.
“Hey, Tiero,” I answer, as Mari slips off the bed. My attention shifts entirely to her for a moment, unable to resist admiring her perfect naked body.
She bends to pick up my discarded shirt, and I groan inwardly, my cock twitching at the sight. She slips the cotton material over her head, and I watch as it settles mid-thigh on her much smaller frame.
Seeing her in my shirt, her hair tousled and wild, her lips swollen from my kisses… God, she has no idea what she does to me.
She leaves the room but not before glancing over her shoulder, sending me a dazzling smile that could light up any of my darkest moments.
I’m so gone for this woman.
It’s only then I realize Tiero has been talking.
“You haven’t heard a word I’ve said, have you?” His voice cuts through my haze, and I can’t tell if he’s annoyed or amused. He knows where I am and who I’m with, so I bet on the latter.
“Sorry, I’m a little distracted.”
“So I take it things are good with Mari?”
“Better than good. They’re perfect. She’s perfect.”
“Have you…?” He lets the question hang, but I know exactly what he’s asking.
“Of course not. Though I really want to. Holding back on making love to her is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Even though we take care of each other in other ways, I walk around with a permanent boner. Hurry the fuck up and bring Ella home so I can marry this girl.”
