Symphony looks sexy in the body-hugging dress and nude heels. Her physique is exquisite. I almost swallowed my tongue when I saw her.

Her lashes are always long and pretty with her big brown eyes, but she’s wearing some type of makeup that’s making her eyes pop. Then there’s the lip gloss that makes her full lips looksensual, inviting, and taunting. I have never wanted to kiss a woman more.

However, something has changed since she returned. To top it all off, Adriano’s presence is pissing me off. I know he’s doing his job, but I’m here. He doesn’t need to be.

I stand from where I’ve been sitting, listening to Sim play while I sip at some cognac. I place my drink on the piano and sit beside her on the bench. She scoots over slightly, bringing a smile to my lips.

She’s been shyer than usual. It’s endearing. I wonder if she has a clue of how beautiful she looks. I don’t think she does, which only makes her sexier.

“Can I play with you?”

She pauses her fingers on the keys and looks out the corner of her eye at me. I reach to brush a few of her locs out of her face and tuck them behind her ear.

I love them on her. The middle-sized locs compliment her face. They are very neat and the scent coming from them is intoxicating. She almost smells like candy.

“I … I would like that. Yes, you may, Michael.”

I place a hand on her back and the other on the keys. I start to play “Für Elise” as I rub her back soothingly. She joins as a little purring sound leaves her throat. My cock twitches from the sound.

I grind my teeth as Adriano jumps from his seat and storms from the room. Sim stops playing and starts to pop that band on her wrist. Not wanting to draw attention to the action and embarrass her, I don’t mention it.

Instead, I reach beneath her hair to cup the back of her neck and give it a gentle squeeze before I begin to massage her soft skin. She releases another little purr. Not able to help myself, I lean in and brush my lips against her temple.

“Is there something going on between you and Adriano I should know about?” I ask as I pull away.

“Are you asking me if I’m involved with him?”

“Yes, that is the question,” I say harsher than I mean to.

“No. We are friends, that is all. I have never had a boyfriend.”

A low growl emits from my throat before I can help myself. I feel like an ass as she begins to dart her eyes around. I take a calming breath.

It takes a moment for me to calm down as I fight not to tell her she should never have a boyfriend because I’m her husband and I won’t share my wife with anyone. I want to claim her lips and show her why she is mine and only mine.

Instead, I go back to playing softly. When she doesn’t join me, I stop and turn to look at her. She’s watching me out of the corner of her eye once again.

“Do you remember what tomorrow is?” I ask to break the silence.

“It’s our seven-year anniversary. We have been married for seven years tomorrow.”

“That it is,cara. What would you like to do? Anything you want, it is yours.”

“Anything?”

I know I shouldn’t, but I nod. There isn’t anything I would deny Sim. If it makes her happy, it is hers.

“I would like to have my first kiss,” she all but whispers. “That is if it’s appropriate to ask for such a thing.”

My lips are sealed to hers before she can finish her words. Her lips are softer than I could have ever imagined. The lip gloss adds a silky feel. Reaching to cup the back of her neck once more, I then tip her head back.

She moans and I growl into her mouth as I cup her face. She gasps and her mouth opens to me as I palm her breast in onehand. I take the opportunity to stick my tongue in her mouth and deepen the kiss.

The whimper that comes from her lips breaks all my restraint. I lift her from her seat and turn her back to the piano as I lift with her, still devouring her sweet mouth. Sim locks her fingers in the top of my hair as I grasp ahold of her waist.

The keys cry out as I lift her onto them. Cupping her ass in one hand, I lift her enough to close the lid over the keys and gently place her on it. I wasn’t expecting this kiss to be so passionate, but the chemistry between us is sizzling.

I break the seal on our lips to kiss my way down her chin to her neck. I have my hands tightly grasping her hips as I kiss my way down her body. When I get to her breasts, I move to one nipple and suck it into my mouth over the fabric of her dress before moving to the other.
