Drawn to her like a magnet, I nuzzled her neck, kissing and nipping lightly on the skin. Melissa shivered and moaned, pushing her sweet bottom against me. I grinned, delighted with her reaction. She rubbed herself against me, gasping, as I licked my way up her neck and sucked her lobe into my mouth. And that was all it took for me to get hard again.

We should have been resting. She needed her sleep, I told myself, but the thought was fleeting as she pulled my arm down from her waist and between her legs, opening them for me.

She might indeed need rest, but she obviously needed something else, more and, of course, I couldn’t possibly deny her.

Smirking at the thought, I let my fingers explore her more leisurely this time. It was going to be a long night. Hell yeah!

CHAPTER 17

MELISSA

SUNDAY MORNING – TIME TO MAKE PLANS

Someone was nuzzling my neck and kissing me, and it was bliss. Smiling, I cracked open my eyes.

“Morning, beautiful,” Marko said, leaning over me with a sexy grin. I enjoyed waking up to him.

“Time to get up. We need to head down for breakfast. Everyone wants to meet you, then we will need to spend the morning, or possibly the rest of the day, making plans with Miki,” he said.

“I’ll take a quick shower, then you can,” he told me before hurrying off towards the bathroom, but not before I had time to admire his muscular back and tight bum.

That was a sight I wouldn’t mind seeing on a regular basis.

I grinned as I jumped out of bed in search of clothes.

A short while later, Marko came out of the bathroom, wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist. I salivated at the sight of those muscular shoulders and sexy abs of his. My god, my Mr Sexy Nerd was built!

I watched him open-mouthed as he walked past me to the wardrobe. He dropped the towel and pulled on some jeans, and I stared with undisguised lust, my gaze travelling up his legs, across his sexy ass, and over his back. My eyes took every inch of him, thoroughly enjoying the view, and I wished we could return to bed, but I knew that we had to meet with the others.

I openly ogled him, licking my lips. My gaze zoned in on the gorgeous tattoo on his left shoulder, which I stared at with curiosity. It was a six-inch Celtic cross with an eight-point star, which I immediately realised was the Bratva symbol, in the round centre forming the middle point. A scroll ribbon was wrapped three times around its length with some words written inside. It was beautiful, just like him. I made a mental note to ask him what the words meant later.

Marko chuckled, and I looked up to see I had been caught checking him out yet again. I would usually feel embarrassed if some guy saw me checking him out so thoroughly, but not with Marko. I smirked and blew him a kiss instead before turning and running into the bathroom, giggling as he tried to grab me.

When we got to the dining room, Marko introduced me to everyone, and I could hear the pride in his voice as he did so, which melted my heart toward him even further.

“It’s lovely to meet you, Melissa,” Eilidh said with a warm smile.

“Hey there, Melissa, nice to meet you,” Gracie said.

“Hi, Melissa, welcome to the mad, bad, world of the Rominov’s,” Sonia said with a huge grin.

Nonna kissed both of my cheeks, then pinched them between her fingers like I was five or something. “Bella!” she exclaimed.

“Grazie mille,” I replied in Italian.

Nonna’s face lit up in delight and she clasped a hand to her chest.

“Parli Italiano?”

“Si, ho vissuto in Italia con i miei genitori per un po’,” I replied.

“You lived in Italy with your parents for a while? Well, you must tell me all about it later. For now, eat,” she said, leading me towards a huge breakfast buffet.

“You’ve made a friend for life there,” Marko whispered, and I chuckled.

As we sat down to eat, I couldn’t help overhearing Gracie and Sonia chatting.

“Did you say you wrote books, Gracie?” I asked, grinning.
