“So, what do we do?”
Gio’s head drops and he lets out a defeated sigh. “We keep living our life. We see where things go. I love you so much, but, Aria, if you’re ever put in harm’s way again because of me—”
“Don’t finish that sentence,” I plead, grabbing him around his neck and pulling him to me. “Don’t say that. Take me home, please. Take me home and make love to me. Nothing is going to happen to me.”
Gio doesn’t take us home. Instead, he takes us to his hotel. He checks us into a room, and once we get inside, he hands me a robe. “We don’t have any clothes here so put this on so you can be more comfortable.” He takes his shoes and socks off then strips out of his pants and shirt.
Taking the robe from him, I go to the bathroom to freshen up. I fix my makeup the best I can, using the soap on the sink to wipe the black smudges from under my eyes, and run my fingers through my hair. Then I remove my dress and heels. I debate whether I should leave my undergarments on and decide against it. Once I have the robe secure, I walk back into the room.
Gio isn’t there, but I see the slider open so I head out to the balcony. When I get out there, I notice each balcony has a privacy wall. Gio is sitting out there with a tray from room service. When he hears me approach, he turns around, grinning at me.
“I ordered some dessert. It’ll help absorb some of that tequila in your system.” He shoots me a wink, and I roll my eyes but go to the tray to see what he’s ordered. Under the lid is a large slice of chocolate cake drizzled with hot fudge. With my index finger, I swipe a bit of the fudge off the top and lick it off my finger until its clean. Gio groans, so I swipe up some more, this time making a production out of licking my finger.
Grasping the side of my robe, he pulls me to him so I’m straddling his lap. He grabs my finger, sticks it in his mouth, and sucks hard. When I try to pull my finger back, he bites down on it.
“Hey! You know I love my cake. Get your own.”
“This cake is for us to share.” He sits up higher and adjusts us, then he grabs the plate with the delicious cake on it along with a fork. When he breaks off a piece, I lean forward to take a bite, but he smirks and takes the bite himself.
“Not cool, Valentino.” I pout and he laughs, the sound sending butterflies to my belly. He takes another forkful and this time brings it to my mouth. I part my lips and he gives me the bite. The cake practically melts in my mouth and I can’t help the moan that slips out.
“I think I need another bite of this cake,” Gio murmurs, his gaze burning into mine. This time when he breaks off a forkful, he pulls down the top of my robe and spreads the cake along my collarbone, crumbs falling all over us. Before I can make a smartass comment, his mouth is on my body, sucking and nibbling the cake off my skin. He swipes a piece of frosting with his finger, and moving my robe down farther so my breasts are completely exposed, he rubs the frosting across one of my nipples.
“Now, this is my kind of dessert.” He lifts a brow and gives me a devilishly handsome grin before grabbing my breast in his hand and bringing my nipple to his mouth.
He sucks on the hardened peak almost to the point of pain. The sensation hits at the apex of my thighs and I clench my legs together in need of some kind of relief. Gio takes another bit of frosting and rubs it onto my other nipple, licking and sucking it, making me squirm in his lap.
When he goes to swipe another piece, I grab his hand. “You aren’t sharing,” I tease.
Guiding his finger to his chest, I rub the frosting over the tattoo he has above his heart, and leaning down, I lick my way across his flesh. I can feel the raised skin from his tattoo and I make a mental note to ask him what it means to him. I’ve seen it a million times but keep forgetting to ask him about it.
I take more frosting off the top of the cake and wipe it across his neck. I run my tongue downward, licking the chocolatey goodness off him. Just as I’m licking the last of the chocolate off, Gio grabs my ass and pulls me closer to him so my pussy is grinding against his hard cock through his boxers. I let out a throaty moan and he groans. His hands go to my breasts as he eagerly takes a nipple into his mouth, licking then sucking on it.
