After everyone has eaten and we’re sitting around a bonfire the men lit, various conversations fill the air.
I have not been able to stop thinking about Adriano saying he loves me.
My stomach flutters every time I look at him, and whenever his eyes catch mine, the butterflies go crazy.
“Oh yes!” Yuki says. “We need to take you toYukhaejang.Skylar owns it.” When I frown, she quickly explains. “Georgi’s mom. She’s a chef.”
“I’d love to go out for lunch with you,” I reply, feeling much better than when I first met Yuki and Nina.
They have been so friendly and gone out of their way to befriend me.
“AndLa Torrisi,” Nina says. “The food is just as good there. It’s Georgi’s restaurant.”
An arm wraps around the front of my neck, then Adriano says, “Those restaurants are for dinner. Go toPiccola Siciliafor lunch.
“Who owns that one?” Nina asks.
“It’s mine,” he replies before pressing a kiss to the top of my head and walking to where Tori and Valentina are placing dessert on the table.
“Aunt Tori, did you make your famous cannolis?” Augusto asks.
“I sure did.”
The next second, everyone rushes toward the table to grab one while Adriano escapes with two, bringing one to me while he eats the other.
“Thank you.” I smile at him as he sits down, and when I sink my teeth into the pastry and the creamy sweetness hits my tongue, I moan.
Heat ignites in Adriano’s dark gaze as he stares at my mouth, and seeing the desire on his face makes my abdomen clench hard.
Sweet Jesus. He can’t look at me like that while we’re surrounded by family and friends.
I take another bite while glancing at the bonfire that’s still going strong, but feeling his eyes burning on me, I can’t keep from looking at him again.
“Eat faster.” His voice is nothing but a low growl, making arousal pool between my thighs.
Shit. Am I ready?
Little too late to ask that question now! You gave him a blow job last week, remember?
I only take one more bite before handing the rest to him. He eats the whole piece in one go, then leans forward and swipes his thumb over the corner of my mouth, before sucking the creamy filling off.
I find it so hot my breathing begins to speed up.
“We’re heading home,” Remo says. “Giana will be dropping off the kids in an hour.”
“Us as well,” Nina mentions. “Raya was kind enough to babysit for us.”
Everyone gets up to say goodbye, and when Nina and Yuki each give me a hug, I really hope I get to hangout with them soon. We exchanged phone numbers earlier, so we’ll see what happens.
“We’ll call you for lunch,” Yuki says.
“I’d love that.”
One by one, the couples leave, then Adriano takes my hand. “Thanks for today, guys.”
“It was our pleasure.” Tori grins happily, then Angelo tugs her onto his lap and says, “Have a good night.”
