Read an Excerpt:
Dante swore under his breath.
“They’re not leaving,” Zoe observed.
“They will soon,” he replied.
She let out a tired breath. “Did you build this?”
“I updated it. The previous owner was sort of an eccentric
and had it installed. I found it intriguing and converted it into a private
study.”
They waited a little longer but it seemed the women
were enjoying themselves far too much to leave any time soon.
“I’m tired, Dante,” Zoe groaned, leaning back onto the
wall. “Do you even know what time it is?”
He glanced up at her. Her fringes were loose and
strewn about her. The spaghetti strapped vest she wore was cut deep into her
cleavage and each time she breathed, her heart beat against it. She closed her
eyes as she threw her head back against the wall, each gulp visible at the base
of her throat.
He moved closer to her without knowing when or how.
Clearly, she had hypnotized him. A hand settled at her waist and the other
braced against the wall as he leant into her.
She opened her eyes slowly and smiled at him.
“You look tired,” he mumbled.
“I just told you that,” she said.
His fingers caressed her bare skin at her waist and
she pulled in a sharp breath.
“Dante,” she started.
“Sshhhhh,” he whispered, grazing his lips against her
shoulder.
“Dante,” she mumbled deliriously again, her fingers
clenching his waist.
His lips tasted her skin as they travelled to the base
of her throat. Her fingers threaded through his hair, tugging his head closer.
He nipped at the pulse that had heated his blood and she moaned.
He pulled back to look at her and when she opened her
eyes, a little fazed and wondering why he had stopped, he lowered his head and
possessed her lips with his. His tongue parted them, tasting the hidden corners
of her mouth.
He lifted her up, carrying her at his waist. His hands
cupped her buttocks, while her hands cradled his face.
“Dante,” she panted. “What did you want to tell me?”
