Page 90 of Sinful Temptations

He didn’t put his underwear on. Instead, he used them to wipe off his chest. It was incredibly unsexy and not wanting to ruin all the lovely images parading around my mind, I shifted my gaze away.

I quickly redressed in my underwear and paused, hoping Luca would comment on my new lingerie. He didn’t.

Feeling a tad silly standing in the sexy blue lace, I quickly tugged on my jeans. Oh shit! My knickers were so wet.Ewwww.And now I have to ride the horse.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

By the time I reach the bus, I’ll probably look like I’ve wet myself.

Too late.

Forcing that ghastly image from my mind, I pulled on my shirt and buttoned up.

Luca tugged on his socks and boots. A frown corrugated his forehead and he’d become all silent. It had me worrying that I’d upset him. After all, he’d gone to great lengths to set this up for my arrival. Maybe I did have time for some food. But I’d jumped on the horse so quickly that I hadn’t even brought my phone to check the time.

Mental note—don’t do that next time.

Besides, I was supposed to have my phone on me 24/7. The château could have burned to the ground and I’d have had no idea.

The fact that I was even thinking there’d be a next time was a testament to how much I’d changed. Sex wasn’t normally on my radar. Romance novels and food were my usual obsessions. As if it could read my mind, my stomach twisted with hunger pains.

I scanned the cheese and bread and if the damn clock in my head wasn’t ticking away, I would’ve settled in for a decent snack. Opting for a quick strawberry instead, I plucked the plump berry from the tub. It was exceptional, sweet and juicy.

Maybe my taste buds were heightened post-orgasm.

I swallowed a chuckle along with the strawberry and grabbed another. Peeking into the picnic basket, I spied a couple of ruby red apples inside. “Hey, can I give Wild Fire an apple?”

“Sure, that’s why they’re there.”

Awww, he really was prepared. He’d even brought a picnic for his stallion.

Cupping the apple in my palm, I walked toward Wild Fire, careful to ensure he saw my approach and he nodded as if agreeing to the treat.

The second the apple was within reach, his teeth sunk into the juicy flesh and a stream of apple juice squirted across my shirt. “Shit.” An attempt at wiping it away onlymade it worse. Wild Fire demolished the apple in seconds, and he wriggled his nose on my fingers looking for more. For an enormous beast, Wild Fire sure was gentle.

By the time I’d returned to Luca, he’d packed up the blanket and basket and had my wine cup in his hand. “Do you want to finish this?”

“Oh no, I better not.”

He swigged the remainder in one gulp and tossed the cup into the basket. “Okay then, let’s get going.”

My heart sank at his melancholy. I’d taken an absolutely perfect outing and ruined it.

I stepped up to him, forcing him to look at me. “Hey.” I placed my hand on his chest. “I’m really sorry I have to rush off. I’ve never done anything like this. Thank you for making it so amazing. You’re amazing.”

A tiny smile touched his lips. “So are you.”

I returned his smile, and he pulled me in for a hug. It was totally unexpected, and warm and wonderful. I nestled into his chest, wrapped my arms around him, and listened to the therapeutic beat of his heart. The pure pleasure of the embrace had tears stinging my eyes.

Considering I barely knew anything about him—except that he had an amazing body, an enormous cock, and a magical tongue—I felt incredibly comfortable in his embrace. Like we’d been dating for years.

I had no idea what came over me, but the urge to cry was so powerful it swelled my throat. But I fought it—last thing I needed was for Luca to think he’d upset me.

Clearing my throat, I stepped back.

Without another word, he headed over to Wild Fire, giving me the perfect visual of his sexy denim-clad butt. His comment last month about him not having his way with women bounced out of my memory banks. He sure had a way with me. Maybe I was just an easy target.

Shrugging off the thought, I prepared to get back on the horse by adjusting my boobs in my lacy bra.
