moment…he didn’t care who saw. Chastity’s arms and legs were wrapped around him and she held him as if her life depended on it.
He breathed her in and dipped his head for the kiss he’d been missing since the last time they were together. The sound of applause brought them both back to reality and they slowly pulled apart. His wide smile and dark passionate eyes held Chastity in awe that he was hers. When the applause subsided, Timothy chuckled.
“Do they want an encore?” He asked before lightly kissing her on the forehead, and setting Chastity down.
“No,” she giggled. “Beauty is extremely appreciated here. So much so that when Italians see something they like, they break out in song and clap.”
“In song, really?”
“No…” she teased, “not in song. But they do applaud and congratulate you on a job well done.” Chastity explained.
“Then I guess you’re used to that sort of thing aren’t you?” He lovingly asked while tucking some hair behind her small ear. “Are you blushing Chaz?”
Chastity tucked her head and leaned into Timothy’s broad chest. “No. You…” she sighed. “You just make me feel things…things I never thought I could.”
“That makes two of us sweetie. I missed you so much. I never want to be apart for this long again.”
Chastity smiled sweetly, unsure of what to say next. So she did what she did best. She changed the subject.
“You must be hungry after your long flight over. We can grab a quick bite, but we need to hurry back. I’ve got something fun planned for us tonight.”
“Really?” Timothy teased. “You’ve got my attention. Let’s skip the bite and get straight to whatever it is you’ve got planned. Are we staying here?” Timothy looked up to the Hotel al Pointe de Sospiri. Its highest point seemed to reach up to the heavens. He had to crane his head back to take it in.
“No. This was just an easy place for you to tell the driver to drop you off. My apartment isn’t too far from here. Follow me.” Chastity smiled, and leaned up to lightly kiss him before leading the way.
“You got it.” Timothy’s heart leapt.
Timothy pulled his bags straps across his shoulders, and followed Chastity across the bridge. The struggle to carry his luggage wasn’t something he was going to remember in years to come. Watching his girlfriend saunter her way through the city was. With her elegant sway, she led the way down the alley to her apartment, and in that moment, he knew he’d be happy to follow her anywhere.
Chapter 7
Chastity unlocked her door, and noticed that David and Terri’s things were all moved out. The probability of them coming back was minimal. She relaxed knowing she had Timothy all to herself, with no threat of interruption.
“You can set your things in here or in the bedroom … your choice.” She smiled sweetly while her stomach filled with butterflies.
“Where do you want me?” he softly asked while staring into her eyes.
“You don’t want me to answer that.”
Timothy dropped his bags, pulled her close, and swept his hands up her back. “I think I do,” he said before lowering his lips onto hers.
Her kiss was just as he remembered; filled with passion and promise … but this time he couldn’t hold himself back. After being without her for a whole month, he needed more of her. He
