Something snaps deep inside of me and I can’t help it, I lift my face and kiss him.
Right here in public for all to see.
His tongue slides into my mouth as his eyes close.
Long, slow and erotic.
Everyone else in the room disappears. It’s just me and him.
As if coming to his senses he looks up, and his eyes roam around the room, he takes my hand and pulls me off the dance floor and up toward a service hallway.
Alone in the dark, with the sound of the music, we stare at each other.
His lips take mine, our kiss is frantic, my hands are in his hair, his hands are on my behind.
His hard cock, bulging into my stomach.
I want this.
Giuliano Ferrara, naked and on top of me.
Just once.
For five minutes we kiss in the hallway, consumed with passion…taken over by the need to put out the fire.
“Go tell Anna you’ll see her tomorrow.”
“I’m not leaving her here alone.”
“She’s not alone, she’s with Carlo.”
“You know him?” I gasp.
“I sent him to keep her busy.”
My eyes widen in horror, what the hell?
“Don’t worry, she’ll enjoy it.” He kisses me and then turns me by my shoulders, “Go.” He gives me a gentle shove toward the dance floor and I walk up the hallway back out to the main dance floor area. My mind is a foggy mess, at what I’ve done…what I’m about to do.
What I fucking need.
My eyes scan the dance floor and I see them, right where they were. Dirty dancing and kissing like animals.
Jeez…he’s right, she is enjoying it, maybe a little too much.
Get a room.
I walk up and tap Anna on the shoulder. “Anna.”
She pulls out of the kiss, embarrassed she tries to pull out of his grip. “Oh, I’m coming.”
“No.” I smile, my eyes lock with the guy she’s kissing, he’s utterly gorgeous.
Go Anna.
“I’m going back to our hotel, I’m tired. I’ll see you tomorrow?” I lean in and give her a hug.
“No. I’ll come,” she says.
“I’ll get her home safe,” the guy offers.
I bet you will.
Anna’s eyes lock with mine and we smirk at each other, this night is turning out better than expected. “Okay, thanks.” I kiss her cheek and turn and walk toward the front doors and I see Giuliano waiting beside them, his dark eyes hold mine as he takes my hand and my stomach flutters with nerves.
“Let’s go.”
We get to the door of the club, and he drops my hand, and we walk out as if nothing has happened. Bruno and Sav are seated on a chair near the road. “Francesca is tired, I’m taking her home,” he announces.
They both stand.
“You two stay here with the others.”
“I’ll drive you,” Bruno offers.
“Okay, but come back to Anna after you drop us off, please.”
“Of course.”
“Good night,” Sav replies.
“Night,” Giuliano replies as he walks purposely toward the car, he opens the back door for me, I scoot in and he climbs in beside me. “There’s Val and Alex arriving, took their time,” Giuliano says to Bruno as he looks across the road.
We look over to see Valentino and another man arriving, oh I haven’t seen Val for years and years.
The car pulls out and Giuliano slides his hand up my calf muscle and I flutter deep inside.
My God, what am I doing?
There’s no air in my lungs, possibly on earth and I cannot breathe for the life of me.
Arousal is pumping through my body and Giuliano casually chats with Bruno as if nothing just happened.
How can he even think when all the blood from his body is in his dick?
At least, I hope it still is.
“Just drop me with Francesca, I’ll crash in the spare room, Carlo is with Anna and it saves you doing two trips.”
“Okay,” Bruno says as he casually drives.
What?
That’s it, that’s how easy it is to get away with this?
Anna
The tall dark and handsome man is overexcited as he dances toward me, I slowly dance back.
Down boy.
Jeez, maybe I should have left with Chesk. This guy could be any old creep.
“Anna.” I hear a deep voice.
Startled, I turn to see a familiar face, Valentino, Giuliano’s friend. I haven’t seen him for years.
He’s big and brawny and…oh.
Wow.
Shocked by his beautiful face, I stumble over my words. “Valentino.”
He grabs my hand. “Borrowing her,” he says to the guy I’m dancing with.
“Hey,” the guy calls as he grabs my hand to pull me back.
Valentino glares at him and reading the signs, the guy instantly shuts up, he then pulls me through the crowd at speed. “What are you doing?” I call over the music.
“I should like to ask you the same thing.” He pulls me outside into the courtyard, once there he turns to face me and I stare up at him.
He stares right back.
It’s still there.
Valentino and I have this weird thing going on, nothing has ever happened between us. But we both know that we’re attracted to each other, it’s a silent letter on the wall.
“You’re not to go home with him,” he says.
“And why not?”
“Because….” He pauses. “Carlo is not the guy for you, trust me.”
“Wait.” I frown, surprised. “You know him?”
“He’s my friend, we came here together.”
Oh…I open my mouth to reply but no words come out.
“You go back in there and tell him to take a hike,” he demands.
“Excuse me?”
“You heard me, go back in there and tell him to fuck off.”
He’s jealous.
“And why would I do that?”
I hold my smile as I wait for his flirty answer.
“Because if you are with him…then nothing can ever….” He cuts himself off.
Huh?
“Nothing can ever what?” I stare at him, my interest piqued.
“Happen with us.”
I stare at him as my brain misfires. “But….” I search for the right words. “I’ve known you for ten years, Valentino, and you’ve never once asked me out.”
“What’s your point?”
“I’m saying that you’ve had ample opportunity.”
“I have not,” he snaps.
“Remember that wedding where we ran into each other a few years ago and spent the entire night talking?”
“Yes.” He glares at me as if he already knows what I am going to say.
“I was sure that you were going to kiss me good night.”
He rolls his lips.
“And more than that, I was positive that you were going to call me the next day.”
“So was I.”
I frown. “So why didn’t you?”
“It’s obvious, isn’t it?”
“Not to me.”
“If you don’t know the answer to that, Anna.” He rolls his eyes in a dramatic fashion. “I’m not fucking spelling it out for you.”
