Page 31 of His Beautiful Revenge
“May I say something?”
“Of course.”
“The two of you—you and Norah—and in fact now Giacomo, you move around each other like orbiting moons. Your lives seem to be so intertwined that it appears, from the outside, impossible to break into your little group. Forgive me if I’m wrong. But it does feel like an exclusive little club. Very hard to penetrate.”
Zulika smiled back. “Not at all. You read people well.”
“I wonder, did Lucian ever feel like that? Shut out by your and Norah’s closeness and your love for each other?”
Zulika was silent. She shrugged eventually. “I can’t tell you that, Orlando. Lucian and I were never good friends. But thinking about what you said, yes, maybe there were times he could have felt excluded.”
Orlando narrowed his eyes. “What role do you play?”
“What do you mean?”
“There’s Giacomo and Norah. Then there’s you. Forgive me. We don’t know each other that well, but your life must have more going on than constantly refereeing your best friend’s sex life and working as a bookseller.”
Zulika looked taken aback. “Wow.”
Orlando put his hands up and shook his head. “Sorry, that came outwaywrong. What I mean is, what about you, Zul? Who looks after you?”
A week later, Norah was working late in the bookstore when she heard someone knocking at the backdoor. A ribbon of fear curled in her stomach. She glanced at the clock. Eleven fifteen at night.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me,mio caro.”
Her body relaxed immediately and she opened the door to see Giacomo holding a pizza box and grinning at her. “I know this is breaking the rules, but to hell with it. I was missing you.”
Norah laughed. “Get in here, Conti. You’re forgiven, mostly because you brought food.” She kissed him and took the box from him. “For future reference, that willalwayswork, by the way.” She winked at him as he laughed.
“Thanks for the tip. How are you,Bella?” He opened his arms and she went into them without hesitation.
“Better now.” She nuzzled her nose against his before pressing her lips to his. The kiss went on longer than either of them expected and by the time they broke apart, both were so turned on that it seemed only natural to start stripping each other.
“I really hope you locked that door.” Giacomo grinned and Norah laughed. Her hands were running over his finely-planed chest, her fingertips tracing the dark circles of his nipples.
“Why, sir, we’re only making out.”
Giacomo raised an eyebrow and his smile hitched up at one side. “Is that so? In that case, Ms. Reddy, I guess I’ll just have to tell you how beautiful you are.” His hand slipped into her panties and started to caress her. Norah gave a small moan, closing her eyes. He kissed each eyelid.
“…how much I love you …” He nuzzled her neck and his fingers increased their pressure on her clit. “This is my new definition of making out, Norah Reddy.”
Norah laughed, her breath coming in little gasps now. Gently moving her down to the floor, Giacomo bent his head and whispered into her ear.
“Norah, Norah, Norah …”
Giacomo smiled as she came, trembling and sighing his name. He bent his head and kissed her, feeling her press herself against him.
She caught her breath and smiled at him, her face flushed, and glowing. “Wow. Giacomo Conti, I think I like your new definition of making out.” She pushed him onto his back and stroked his face. “I think maybe it’s my turn to add a new definition.”
“You do,mio caro?”
“Oh, yeah.” Grinning, she moved down his body. Sliding her fingers under the waistband of his underwear, she slowly peeled them back, smiling as his enormous, rock-hard cock sprang up. She took him into her mouth, tasting the salty pre-cum and sensing him tensing as she teased the sensitive tip. “Tell me what you like, Giacomo.”
He groaned as she began to suck at him, drawing her mouth up and down his shaft. “Mio Dio,Bella, the warmth of your mouth on me …it is as sweet as any touch. I only compare it to the feeling of my cock deep inside your delicious cunt, deeper and deeper into you …Norah…”
She would not release him as he neared his peak and he came hard, shooting his seed into her throat. She swallowed him down and smiled up at him. “I love you, Giacomo.”
