Suddenly I wanted nothing more than to sit and sip some wine and listen to music with this sexy, self-assured alpha next to me.

“I hope you’re still up for more?” Luca led me to a booth near the back of the lounge.

“With you?” I sat down. “Always.”

He slid in next to me, purring in response. My core pulsed at the sound, and heat fluttered through me.

The lounge was made up of plush green booths, all facing toward a small stage where a band played smooth jazz.

For an hour we listened to the band and talked about all sorts of music. Luca kept me close, one arm around my waist, the other hand playing with the hem of my dress. Over the course of the hour, his hand slowly skated up the inside of my thigh.

I ignored it at first, because his fingertips were just feathering over the sensitive skin on the inside of my knee. But he shifted his hand up higher as time went on, and I let my legs fall open a little more in response.

The club was dark, and the booth was secluded but, still, the thought of being in public was heating my core.

His fingers continued making small circles up the inside of my thigh. I had to hold my breath so I wouldn’t moan, until I thought I might faint. Liquid need pooled inside me until his fingers reached damp gusset of my panties.

I pressed my face into the cinnamon vanilla scent of him, wondering how long this would go on.

“Shall we get a room?” he murmured in my ear.

“Yes, please,” I said quickly.

“So polite.” Luca nuzzled my neck before nipping. He slid out of the booth and pulled a keycard out of his pocket.

“You planned on…” I stared at the room key.

“I was hoping.” He wrapped an arm around my waist. “I thought you might enjoy a chance to get away for a night.”

We made our way to the elevators, my heart beating in my chest. An aching need was building inside me, until I was desperate to feel him pushing inside me.

When the elevator doors closed, I threw myself at him. I caught his surprised expression before I covered my mouth with his. I couldn’t get enough of how he tasted of cinnamon and vanilla.

As I licked my tongue inside Luca’s mouth, he widened his stance then gripped my legs, kneading the overheated skin. I plastered myself against him, fitting my pelvis between his legs with a groan.

It was bad enough that he was suave and sexy, as well as considerate of my feelings. He took my friend crashing our datewith grace and concern. That would have already panting. But the relentless attention to detail was proving to be my undoing.

The elevator dinged, and Luca stepped out of the small space, pulling me behind him. “This is our floor.”

I let out a laugh as he picked me up. He wrapped my legs around his waist and I was free to nuzzle the soft skin of his neck as he walked us down the hallway.

He pressed me against the door while he fumbled with the keycard to open it. I sucked in another lungful of his scent, and my heart started hammering against my chest.

When the door clicked, we both almost fell into the room. I laughed, holding on to his shoulders.

He grinned and kicked the door shut behind him. I glanced behind me to see where the bed was, and then I gasped.

Dozens of rose petals were strewn over the white comforter. Brightly wrapped presents were grouped together on the edge of the bed, and in a crystal vase on the nightstand were another dozen roses with a shiny gold box of what looked like chocolate.

I looked around the huge room in stunned amazement. One wall was made up entirely of floor to ceiling windows. It was dark outside, and we were high enough up I could see the lights of the buildings making a beautiful skyline.

“Oh my god.” I froze. “What did…how did…”

“I popped down here earlier.” Luca gave me a quick peck on the cheek. “I wanted everything perfect for you.”

“It’s beautiful.” I unhooked my legs from his waist and stood up, staring at the elaborate set up.

“There’s room service if you’re still hungry.” He led me over to the massive bed. “And I bought a few gifts for my beautiful beta.”
