Lucian took a step toward me and I froze. He was so close that I could smell his earthy cologne and loved the intoxicating effects he had on me. I held my breath as I waited for his next move. He dipped his head to claim my mouth in a gentle kiss. A moan escaped my lips and my body tingled, excitement coursing through my veins as I enjoyed the heat of his mouth on mine. The hungry kiss was a promise of exciting things to come. Things I was eager to taste.
He quickly pulled away and I was left empty, and disappointed. He palmed my face and tenderly stroked my cheek with the pad of his thumb. “Dinner first, dessert later,” he teased.
I nodded as he led me across the room to the balcony that opened to a breathtaking view of the city. The house was practically built along the cliff and I was almost afraid to look below. I half believed it was a castle in the sky.
My eyes glimpsed a flicker of light and that’s when I saw the extravagant, yet thoughtful surprise. He tugged my hand and walked me over to the fully set table that was next to the outdoor fireplace. The table was perfect for two and comprised of soft candlelight, perfectly arranged settings, and two covered entrees. Colorful exotic floral was displayed in a crystal vase at the center while a bottle of red wine completed the feast.
I twisted around to see his handsome face. “I don’t know what to say. I hadn’t expected this.”
“Truthfully, I want you all to myself.”
I smiled; absolutely thrilled that he had gone to so much trouble. Before I realized what I was doing, I wrapped my arms around his neck, stepped up on my tippy-toes, and kissed him hard. I couldn’t wait until after dinner. I couldn’t sit through the next hour or so trying to maintain pleasant talk when all I wanted to do was have him deep inside me. I needed to be close to him and I didn’t think I had the willpower to pretend otherwise.
We finally broke apart and I knew he was affected by the kiss. His heavy breathing told me exactly what I needed to know. He couldn’t wait either and he was fine without playing any games.
“Make love to me, Lucian.” I ran a hand down his chest and he closed his eyes. When he opened them again he gripped my wrist and pulled me hard against his body.
“On my terms,” he ground out in challenge.
