teasing made her breasts swell with desire, and her lower body flood with heat. Then Gianni moved his hand down, just slightly.
The pressure was now over her clit. Leah cried out. Gianni continued the circular motions, but with pressure directly on the pebble between her legs. Within seconds, she spiraled into a gripping orgasm.
Leah panted and moaned. All the while, Gianni continued the motions, pushing her to the peak. When at last she exploded, and shivers of pleasure coursed through her, Gianni pressed his lips to her pussy.
When she could breathe, Leah cast aside the mask and looked at Gianni. He was fully clothed, but his eyes were alight with need. He lifted her into his arms and kissed her deeply. When he pulled back, Leah dug her hands into his hair.
“You’re not supposed to be in here, you know.”
He ran his thumb over her lips. “I won’t tell if you don’t.”
Gianni left, and Leah took a minute to get herself together. The suddenness of the experience had elevated the excitement, and she felt a little weak in its wake. She poured some juice from a pitcher and drank it down.
She would need more than that to keep up with Gianni. But Leah felt better. She took a few minutes to dress, taking time to calm and regain her equilibrium. Yet when she stepped into the lobby and saw Gianni, she was weak all over again.
Dressed in casual clothes, his hair messed up and his blue eyes soft, Leah wanted to drag him back into the dark room. Turnabout would be fair. But he had other plans. Taking her hand, Gianni guided her outside.
Leah felt like she had returned from another world, and blinked so her eyes could adjust to the bright light. They walked around the town to gaze at the panoramic vista, and looked at a few of the many shops.
Yet the atmosphere was fraught with sexual tension. What Gianni had done was merely a taste of what the evening would hold. Leah was sure of that. And the fact that his sexual satisfaction was delayed made her more anxious to be alone with him.
Late in the afternoon, they stopped at an enoteca , an Italian wine shop. They ordered appetizers and a glass of wine. The décor was earth tones, and one wall was lined with shelves of Italian wines.
The tables were covered with starched linen, and a small vase of flowers decorated each one. The good feeling from the spa lingered, and Leah could still feel Gianni’s hands massaging her. She slipped off her shoe, and under the table, put her foot on his lap.
She could feel his rock-hard erection. Were it not for propriety, Leah would have knelt between his legs and unzipped his pants. She watched his face as she rubbed her toes over his pants, teasing him.
Gianni’s eyes were steely. “You should know by now what teasing gets you.”
The admonishment didn’t dissuade her. Leah kept her foot on him, and their gazes locked. Then he grabbed her ankle, and her heart skipped a beat. “It’s time to go,” he said, and removed her foot from his lap.
They had gotten up to the town on the funicular, a red cable car. On the way down, the sunset provided a beautiful view of the tree-covered mountain in the fading light. But Leah was distracted. Gianni sat beside her with his arm around her shoulders, his jaw set, and his eyes intense. As they descended back to the valley, she quivered with anticipation.
Chapter 6
Gianni walked into the main room of the villa, and Leah followed. It was quiet and isolated. Across the valley there were other homes, but none nearby. Even the bodyguard stayed in town, making their privacy complete.
On the way back, Leah had leaned against him, and Gianni had felt the strong beat of her heart. Her excitement over how he would deal with her teasing was not unfounded. The days alone in the tranquil setting made inhibitions fall away.
Leah trusted him, and for that, he was going to reward her. While she shed her coat and took off her shoes, Gianni lit a fire in the massive fireplace. There was a thick
