“Tessa. Pick up the garments for next week’s shoot. They’re at Cattaneo’s. But make it quick, I need them by ten.”
“Okay…” I wait for a moment before I realize he hung up already.
“Gio. Gio.” I push on his chest to wake him. “Gio. I have to get to… well,yourshop.” I give him a wry grin, amused by the irony of it all.
“It’s not even a work day. And you don’t have to do anything except be with me,” he growls in a raspy voice. He tugs at my arm again, eyes still closed.
“Santerreisn’t a guarantee, and I want to do my job well in the meantime.”
His eyes blink open, adjusting to the light peeking in from the windows. He smiles when his gaze lands on me. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of him looking at me this way. How just the sight of my face brightens his features.
This time when Gio tugs on my arm, I go willingly and melt into his chest. He presses a sleepy kiss to my cheek, and I nuzzle his nose. His hand snakes up my bare back until he reaches my bra strap. He unhooks it and strokes my back, trailing his fingers slowly up and down my spine.
I smile. “I could get used to this.”
His lips find my collarbone. “I already am,Tèssa. I don’t ever want to wake up without you ever again.” He drags his lips down my chest, in between my breasts, before scooting further down under the cover.
“Gio,” I groan. “I’m not sure we have time.”
He chuckles into my stomach and looks up at me. “Let me keep my promise to you.”
I think back to that night at the hotel.I want to eat this every day. You’ll let me, right?
My face heats, and Gio clocks it a mile away. He presses a kiss to the top of my pussy, then gives an exaggerated pout. “You don’t want to come on my tongue?”
Glancing at the nightstand clock, and then back at Gio between my thighs, I come to the quick conclusion that time is a construct and spread my legs to give him more room. He responds with an open-mouthed kiss on my clit.
“I love it when we’re on the same side,” he murmurs, dipping his tongue inside me.
I sigh, completely relaxed. “Gio, that feels so good.”
“Youfeel good, Cara.” He swipes two fingers through my center. “You’re soaked. It’s my job to take care of this, hm?”
I nod. He starts teasing my clit, sliding his thumb across it before making small swirling motions. I feel my arousal dripdown my thighs and he applies just the right amount of pressure to get me there. My head lolls back when he replaces his fingers with his tongue and circles my drenched bud. Everything feels so wonderfully warm and hazy. I’m completely out of my head, savoring every second, because I know that Gio will make me come.
He hums against me, taking his time, and pressure starts to build in my belly. God, he always gets me there sofast. I roll my hips, knowing I can’t hold off much longer. With a hand on my lower stomach, Gio presses me back down into the bed, fixing me in place. Then, he slowly thrusts two of his fingers inside of me and sucks my clit. My thighs start to shake as an orgasm washes over me. Rush after rush of pleasure surges through my body. Gio continues to lick me, softer now, over and over again.
And when I come down from my high, I feel the bed moving back and forth from his movements. It’s almost as if he’s thrusting into the mattress. His muscles go taut, and he groans my name, giving me one last lick before lifting his head.
I start wiggling down the bed at the same time he moves up toward me. He puts a hand on my shoulder, gently pushing me back.
I shake my head. “I want to make you come now.”
He presses his lips to my cheek. “No need.”
“Gio, don’t be polite. Iwantto suck you off. It’s your turn.”
“First of all, the concept of ‘turns’ doesn’t exist with me. You don’t owe me anything. Ever. And I already came.” He pauses. “I’ll put the sheets in the washing machine before we leave. Is there anything of yours that you want washed?”
His offer to do my laundry almost makes me want to come again, but I calm the urge. “You… already came?”
Gio looks amused. “You have no idea, do you?”
“About what?”
“About how much I have to physically hold myself back so I don’t come immediately whenever we start fooling around.”
I blink. “But… I didn’t even touch you. You came from just eating me out?”
