Smiling, she patted my arm.
I left the dining room and headed to one of the guest rooms. There were six of those in that wing of the house and I knew Zia would have put her in the feminine one. Go figure, that was how I deduced where Julianna would be staying. Yes, maybe it wasn’t proper to go to her room, but I needed to clear this up ASAP.
Pausing, I raised my fist and knocked on the door. I waited then after a minute of no response, I turned away.
The door popped open, so I flipped around.
Staring at me, Julianna said not a word as she opened the door further and stood to the side.
I stepped through and moved out of the way so she could shut the door.
It clicked shut as she stared at me.
“I came here to apologize,” I told her. “And to tell you that I will be taking a position in our Dallas office.”
Her eyes rounded as she looked surprised. “What?”
“I know what I said upset you. It was wrong of me to do. I should have thought about the consequences first. I also know you might quit because of it and that would be the worst thing to happen to Descalia Inc.”
She slowly shook her head. “And you would move away from your family?”
I shrugged. “It’s not Europe.” I gave her a slight smile. “I would see them every now and then.”
“I don’t know what to say.”
“Just say that you will accept my apology and then we can move on.”
“Well, I don’t accept it.” She raised her chin up at me.
I stared at her and tried again, “I’m sorry that I stepped out of line and put you into that position.”
Shaking her head, she stepped up close to me. “I won’t accept it.”
I let out a breath and replied, “What can I do then?”
“You can kiss me,” she whispered.
I tucked my head back and asked, “What?” No way did I hear her correctly.
“You heard me. Shove your apology and kiss me.”
I studied her face closely to try to see where she was coming from. “You're serious?”
“Yes, so hurry up before I chicken out.” She laughed a little nervously.
Suddenly, I couldn’t wait to taste her. I’d dreamt of it and now she had invited me to make this dream come true. If she was teasing, it was too late to turn back now. I reached for her, grabbed her up and crushed her mouth with mine. So hot and her flavor nearly undid me.
Wrapping her arms around my neck, she pressed her breasts up against my chest.
This made me a bit Pazzo as I imagined having those full breasts in my hands and having her nipples in my mouth. I got rock hard at this sexy image and the kiss went to pure fire. My whole body was burning from it. Her lips were soft, sweet and addictive. I knew now that I would never want any other lips to kiss for the rest of my life.
Just hers.
This spectacular first kiss broke all my records, for heat, mindless bliss, and getting lost in someone else. I’d kissed a few gorgeous women and she was that as well…flat out gorgeous, but she beat all those other women in pure sensuality.
Finally, we had to come up for air and we broke apart. We both took a couple of steps back from each other.
Raising her shaky fingers to her plump, rosy, just kissed lips, she murmured, “Maledettamente caldo.”Hot Damn.
