‘Because they’re crotchless?’ Abby laughed when she poked her fingers through the hole.
‘Actually, I didn’t know they were,’ Matteo said. ‘I chose them because they’re not just velvet on the outside.’
They weren’t. The inside was just as soft and hidden-seamed.
‘I thought they might feel nice.’ Matteo explained his thought process.
Abby swallowed.
‘Put them on.’
‘I’m not ready to sleep with you, Matteo.’
He just shrugged and removed her bra so that her breasts dropped that aching inch and he toyed with her nipples, stretching them out. ‘A lovely come would be nice though.’
He said it as if he were choosing from the restaurant menu, only some things weren’t as easy as picking up the phone.
Or were they?
She thought of this morning—how turned on she’d been and how turned on she was now—and Abby handed herself over to him and nodded.
Even a little come would be a miracle!
Slut that Matteo was, the second that Abby nodded her consent he was happily stripping off and turning the heating up to rival Dubai at midday.
And then he told her that was his intention exactly! ‘Remember that fashion show we had to sit through?’ he reminded. ‘I kept picturing you in all the underwear they were parading. Most uncomfortable half hour of my life...’ He gave her a smile that had her nearly rock on her heels as she knelt on the bed. ‘You were my Dubai fantasy—look how far we’ve come.’
Clearly they were here for the night.
He was almost clinical about it.
It was a very sexy clinic she was in though, Abby thought as Matteo chose a brandy from her minibar and then lay on the bed, naked, his erection lifting off his thigh, and she took her underwear and headed to the bathroom.
‘Take some heels with you,’ Matteo called.
Yes, look how far she’d come! Abby stood in the sexiest underwear in the world and added said heels. She even clipped up her hair and put on some lipstick.
It was a game to him and that helped Abby—why, she didn’t know, but it just did.
Maybe because it was about fun, rather than Matteo throwing in sentiments that could never be met by the cold light of day.
And so she came out of the bathroom and as she did, Matteo remembered the shy, nervous beauty who had walked out of the elevator in a silver dress.
That woman had gone for good now.
Abby stepped out and briskly walked the length of the room and then turned.
Nervous but not shy.
‘They walk more with their hips,’ Matteo said and took a sip from his bottle as she crossed the room. ‘That’s better, but more slowly.’
‘Are you going to model for me?’ Abby checked, strutting her stuff.
‘Any time,’ Matteo agreed and she looked at his erection and that he was playing with himself and her lips pressed together, wondering if she could ever lie there and do the same with him.
God, it was hot.
‘Take off your bra.’
