“I told you our future will not be like our past.”
She had to agree. “I don’t think it will, either.”
“Right now I want to relish the present. How about a soak in the tub?”
“A splendid idea,” she said, already eager to be naked in the water with him.
He stood and picked her up. She yelped in surprise as she slid her arm around his neck. “I never dreamed you could be so much fun or so charming.”
“I promise you, I have to say the same about you. And, to boot, you’re breathtakingly beautiful and hot and sexy. I guarantee that sentiment will not end when morning comes,” he added with an intent look that made her heart skip a beat.
He carried her to a huge two-room bathroom. One room held plants, mirrors, two chaise longues with a glass-topped iron table between them, plus dressing tables, a shower and an oversize sunken Jacuzzi tub.
Soon they were soaking in a tub of swirling hot water while she sat between his legs, leaning back against him.
“Tony, this is decadent. It feels wonderful.”
“I suspect you’re referring to the hot water and not my naked body pressed against yours. Right?”
“I won’t answer that question.”
“An even better choice than I expected from you. Also, I seem to remember a short time ago hearing you say something about my sexy body and wild kisses,” he whispered, fondling her breasts as he kissed her nape.
“That I did and I meant it,” she concurred, running her hands over his strong legs.
In no time, desire overwhelmed her, and their playful moment transformed. She turned to sit astride him. Placing her hands on both sides of his face, she leaned forward to kiss him, long and thoroughly, her hair falling over his shoulders. He was ready to love her again, too—she felt it. His hands caressed her breasts, then slid down over her torso to her inner thigh. His fingersglided higher, stroking her intimately until she closed her eyes and clung to him, her hips moving as he loved her.
“Tony, you need protection,” she said, her eyes flying open.
“So I do,” he said, reaching behind him for his terry robe on the footstool. He took a condom out of the pocket and, in seconds, he was sheathed and ready. He pulled her close again, lifting her so he could enter her in one smooth stroke. She locked her legs around him and lowered herself onto his hard shaft.
Her climax came fast, as if they hadn’t made love earlier, and she achieved another before Tony reached his. When he was sated, he watched her with hooded eyes and she wondered what he thought.
She picked up a towel to dry herself, her gaze running over broad shoulders that glistened with drops of water. “I’ll see you in bed,” she said, leaning close to kiss him. His arm snaked out to wrap around her neck.
“I want to keep you right here in my arms,” he said between kisses. Damp locks of his hair clung to his forehead and he felt warm and wet.
“I’ll see you in bed,” she repeated with amusement. “You’re insatiable. When do you run out of energy?”
“With you, I hope never.”
She laughed, snatching up another towel to wrap around herself as she got out of the tub and headed to bed.
She felt as if she was having an out-of-body experience. The night continued to shock her—Tony continued to shock her. She couldn’t believe he’d given her the best sex of her life, three bone-shattering orgasms—and the night wasn’t over yet.
She walked into a big closet and looked at his clothes so neatly hanging. Boots were lined in rows. She found what she wanted—a navy terry robe—and she pulled it on, belting it around her waist.
She climbed into bed, detecting a faint scent of Tony’s aftershave, wondering how long it would be before he joined her.
In minutes he walked through the door and her heart skipped a beat. With a navy towel knotted around his waist, he oozed sex appeal as he crossed the room.
“I couldn’t wait to be with you. You look more gorgeous than ever,” he said, discarding his towel and scooting beneath the sheet. “Want a drink? Something to eat? Music and dancing?”
She laughed out loud. “You’ve got to be kidding. Relax, Tony. Sit back and enjoy the moment.” She sobered and ran her fingers over his smooth jaw. “You shaved.”
“Just for you.” Turning on his side, he pulled her close against him. “This is better. I like your hair down best.”
“I rarely wear it that way, but I’ll keep that in mind.”
