There was a sound as the AC switched off, and the air in the carriage immediately grew hotter and damper.

Mia paced back and forth. To Lorenzo is looked sexy as hell, the way she moved in her stilettos and the way her dress clung to her curves. But he could see she was panicking.

He got up and went to her.

“I’m sure it won’t be long.”

“I’m not good with being confined like this.”

Lorenzo took her by the waist and sat her down.

“You need to calm down.”

“Don’t tell me to calm down.”

He sat down next to her. It was getting intolerably hot.

“Take some deep breaths,” he said.

For once, Mia actually listened to him.

Mia took some deep breaths. She’d never been great with spaces she couldn’t easily escape from. She was sweating and panicking. And at the same time, she was here with Lorenzo.

She could barely think straight when he was near her, and all of this together was making for a very strange night.

She glanced up at him, and the spark she’d felt on the balcony returned.

He looked back at her, not afraid of staring right into her eyes. She got up again, fanning her face with her bag.

“It’s so hot,” she said.“Is that just me?”

Lorenzo got up. He put his hand on her shoulder to stop her moving.

“No, it’s not just you.”

Mia tried to stop what she was feeling. She was meant to get close to the family, but sexual relationships were absolutely forbidden. If she touched him, she’d be failing her mission.

“Why do you keep looking away from me?” Lorenzo asked.

“I don’t.”

“You’re so scared to feel what you feel for me.”

“I don’t feel anything for you. I don’t even know you.”

Lorenzo laughed. He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her close.

She could smell the sweat on his skin, the remnants of his expensive aftershave. She was so close she could see the hairs on his neck, standing up in arousal.

He put his face to hers, their lips only inches from each other.

Mia could barely stand up anymore. She couldn’t deny it—she wanted him more than she’d ever wanted anyone.

He kissed her.

His lips were full and soft as they moved against hers. He pulled her even closer, so their bodies were entangled, and she could feel every part of him.
