“It’s the best idea, Aphrodite.” I’m not about to let her out of my sight. Not when I just found the missing piece I’ve been searching for.
As she nibbles on her juicy bottom lip, I frantically think about what I can say to convince her to spend the afternoon with me. “I want to get to know you, and our experience earlier showed we can’t do it in public.” I’ll use every means at my disposal to make sure Brielle doesn’t get away.
“Don’t you have something to do for the tour?” she asks as I lead her into my room and shut the door. “Like practice or something?”
“Not until a little later this evening,” I inform Brielle before leading her over to the sofa in the corner of the room. “Right now, I want to thank you for stepping in earlier to help me. I thought we could get to know each other since we’re going to be spending a lot of time together in the future.”
“Huh?” She blinks several times. I tell myself to take things slow before I scare her off, but it’s impossible to be patient when I’ve been waiting for her forever. My little goddess stole my heart and soul the second I laid eyes on her, and I plan to make sure she feels the same way about me.
I sit next to her and wrap my arm around her shoulders before leaning over to kiss her soft lips. As my lips move over hers, Brielle’s curves melt against my body.
Feeling every sweet inch of her pressed against me causes all the blood in my body to flow straight to my cock, and my brain completely shuts down. When she groans into my mouth, I pull back slightly and place my forehead against hers. “Fucking hell, you’re potent, Aphrodite.”
Her soft gasp causes my body to light up from the inside, and I fight the urge to forget about getting to know her. She drops her head back against the sofa and stares up into my eyes. “Wow. This is all happening so fast.” She’s right. It’s happening at the speed of light, and I don’t plan to let things slow down one bit.
“I’ve been looking for you for years.” I lay my cards on the table since there’s no use trying to hide what I’m feeling. “And I’m not letting you out of my sight now that I’ve found you.”
She swallows and stares into my eyes. “For some reason, I can’t say no to you.”
“Good.” I smile down at her. “Because I plan to make sure you’re saying yes a whole lot in the near future.
I place a kiss on the tip of her sweet nose. “Why don’t we have lunch and get to know each other?”
“I like that idea.” While I order room service, Brielle stares out the window.
“It should be here soon.” I walk up behind her and wrap my arms around her lush body. “Now, we have time for you to tell me about yourself, Aphrodite.”
She melts back against my body and sighs. “There really isn’t much to tell.”
I want to know everything about my future wife. “Start at the basics and we’ll go from there.”
A knock at the door interrupts us, and I rush over to let the waiter in with our meal. To my relief, he sets up the table and slips out quickly.
“Holy cow. Did you order everything on the menu?” Brielle walks over and stares at the table covered in dishes.
“I didn’t know what you liked so I ordered a little of everything.” I help her sit on one side of the table and walk around to sit across from her.
As we eat, she slowly begins to open up about herself. She tells me about growing up as an only child with two much older parents. I can tell from the way she speaks that she isn’t very close with her parents, and it’s a sore subject for her.
“Are you from New York?” I’m not a huge fan of big cities, but I’d move to this one if that’s what it takes to make my girl happy.
“No,” she shakes her head, “I moved here to finish college and just never left. I’m still trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up.” When she rolls her eyes adorably, I’m tempted to throw her gorgeous ass up on this table and eat her for lunch instead. “I majored in English Literature and planned to graduate and become a hugely successful author, but so far, that hasn’t happened. I work at a cute little bookstore that caters to indie authors. Maybe one day I’ll find the motivation to write my first book.” I might be able to help her with that.
“I have a secret.” Her eyes light up as she sits forward to hear what I’m about to say. “I’m actually in the process of publishing my first book.”
