CHAPTER TEN
“YOUWANTTO...” she gasped as if the sentence was hard to finish “...make me come?”
“Yes.”
She drew in a shaky breath and then exhaled again. “Do you have...condoms?” she asked, looking like some combination of innocent school girl and sultry vixen.
“Condoms?” he frowned. Then he shook his head.
She gnawed on her bottom lip. “Damn.”
Pulling her body close and running his hand down the curve of her spine—better than he’d fucking imagined—he left his hand on the top of her ass and whispered, “There are plenty of ways to make you come without having to use condoms.”
Because her body was so close, he felt the deep tremor that coursed through her, like his words had evoked a shock of some kind. Jesus, if simply telling her what he was going to do made her body react like this, what would this woman be like in the throes of an orgasm?
Luca couldn’t wait to find out.
“But first...” He tilted her chin up and kissed her. Her mouth was warm and wet and sexy as hell. He pulled her closer and she parted her legs so that his cock fit snugly up into the warm apex of her thighs. He was so fucking tempted to simply adjust the angle and slide into her...
But not yet.
Something told him that she was not as experienced as she claimed. Could be the way her body trembled when she touched him. Or the way her eyes changed so often from a lust-filled haze to clouded with uncertainty.
With regret, he pulled back and smiled down at her. “Now...”
“Yes?”
There it was. That hopeful innocence he’d detected that told him to take it slow—now that he’d made the decision to fuck her.
“We dry off, get dressed and eat.”
She blinked up at him in confusion. Oh, this was going to be both painful and too much fun. He ran the backs of his knuckles down her cheek and then swiped his thumb across her parted lips. She shut her eyes and automatically opened to take him in. Fuck, her mouth was to die for. So soft and sweet and innocent and sexy all at once.
“You enjoy tempting me?” he asked harshly.
Sucking deeply on his thumb—just like she’d done to his cock—she finally pulled his hand away and said, “I enjoy having parts of you inside of me. If that tempts you...” She shrugged.
And there was the other side of the coin that was Jasmine. A sexual force like a hurricane that had a calm center but could easily wreak havoc and destruction.
“Come.” He took her hand and coerced her out of the shower. There was only one towel and he dried her off first: her torso—she had pretty, dusky hued nipples, so fucking suckable. He moved down to her belly, then he dried the length of each leg before carefully rubbing the towel between. After that, he dried her hair.
She stood completely still, her lids fluttering as if she found it difficult to keep them open as she let him towel her off.
“Go get dressed,” he instructed with a light slap on her bottom. “I’ll meet you in the kitchen.”
She blinked. There was the tiniest wrinkle between her arched brows. Then she turned and padded toward the door. She did not glance back, but she did sashay her ass in a way that was obviously meant to entice him. Her swaying backside prompted an urge to stride after her, grab her shoulder, spin her around and take her—hard—up against the door.
It would feel so fucking good.
Luca was in desperate need of release...
Non.
He would save that maneuver for later. For now, he wanted to take his time, build her arousal and get her body so fucking ready for him that she would fall apart without his even touching her.

She wore her new dress, the one she’d picked up at the shop, the one the shop girl had oohed and aahed over. It was white and sheer with spaghetti straps and a hemline that was high in the front and low in the back. It made Jasmine feel both sexy and virginal. When she swept into the kitchen, her heart beating a million miles a minute—though she did her best to maintain a cool, seductive smile—she was rewarded by a grumbling sound Luca made at the back of his throat. There was also a spark in his blue eyes and a smile that only lifted one corner of his mouth.
