Di Sione's Innocent Conquest (The Billionaire's Legacy 1)

‘And?’ Matteo asked.

‘I don’t know,’ Abby admitted.

‘Better than a no,’ Matteo said. ‘At least it’s something to work on.’

Which he was. She could feel his fingers at the very tip of her breast but as his lips found hers, Matteo’s hand flattened and the pressure of his warm palm was divine. It was a different kiss to the one they’d shared earlier; this was a sexy kiss and his naked torso she now explored beneath her hands and he let her. Odd that at twenty-seven it was more than she’d done with a man. His leg came over hers and then Matteo’s fingers were at the tie of her robe, but he held back from peeling it open.

Abby wanted him to.

God, she loathed that she tied double knots.

His lips moved from her mouth and to her neck and Abby’s hands drifted down, feeling his toned stomach right to the edge of his belt, and she wanted so much to move her hand farther down b

ut resisted.

Matteo had endless patience but that didn’t make him blind to need and if she so much as moved to halt him, then he would, but instead they just carried on kissing as he made light work of her robe.

Now he peeled it open and so their chests were naked and touching, just enough to ensure it was not enough.

‘Don’t rush me,’ Abby said, which was contrary to how she felt.

‘I’m kicking you out in five minutes,’ Matteo said and then he took her hand and placed it where she wanted it to be. His tongue caressed hers and she explored him through the fabric, hard and straining, and she ached to set him free but opened her eyes and met his gaze.

Oh, she wanted.

But she wanted more too.

More than Matteo would ever give.

‘I don’t want to lead you on,’ Abby said, ‘if I don’t...’

‘You can lead me on any time.’

‘I’m going to go down,’ Abby said, her hand still on him and his smile made her smile. ‘I meant to my room.’

‘I know,’ Matteo said. ‘A guy can dream.’

He made her feel sexy, so much so that she wanted to do just what the suggestive air called.

He could actually feel her reluctance as Abby got off the bed and it felt like a win to Matteo. He’d never really got the saying “it’s worth the wait.” Matteo waited for no one, impulse never lasted that long and he went with them at whim.

She would be worth the wait though.

As Abby went into the en suite to retrieve her clothes Matteo called her back.

‘You can’t put those back on.’

‘Well, I’m not going down in my robe.’

‘Send the butler to get you a change of clothes, then,’ Matteo said and went to reach for the phone but Abby halted him.

‘No, he’ll think...’

‘Who cares what he thinks?’

‘I care.’

‘God, you’re a prude,’ Matteo said but not nastily. ‘I’ll go and get something for you to wear.’ He really was nice like that, Abby thought as he got out of bed and put on a fresh shirt. ‘I can have a little rummage through your underwear drawer while I’m there!’
