“I want a rose garden,” I blurt out.
He gives me a knowing smile. “In the front yard? I think that would be great. You’ve always had a green thumb. You can teach our girls to garden just like your mama did with you.”
“Actually, I learned from your mama too. I used to come over to help her to try to get a look at you working around the ranch with your daddy,” I say, my cheeks heating even more.
He smiles and shakes his head. “What else don’t I know?”
“I can’t tell you all my secrets, Monroe. A lady has to keep something to herself.”
He lifts a brow at me. “Lady? Where’s the—”
“Trev, don’t you dare finish those words,” I growl.
He throws his hands up in surrender. Then he pulls me into his arms and dips his head near my ear. He allows his breath to fan my skin, raising goose bumps despite the warm night.
“You will always be a lady to the world, but I know better. I’ve had you in my bed,” he says, sending a shiver through me.
He pulls away and looks at me with hooded eyes, allowing his gaze to roll over me. I forget all the things I wanted to say. That look in his eyes promises so much.
I clear my throat. “You said we have reservations, right?”
He gives a small chuckle and holds his elbow out to me. “That we do, little lady. Let’s go before I take you back to the villa and do very bad things to you.”
I stop in my tracks, turning in the other direction, leaving him with his arm held out. Lifting the rose to my nose, I smell it again as I walk.
“Lynn, where are you going?” he calls from behind me.
I look over my shoulder. “I’m heading back to the villa. I’m not as hungry as I thought,” I say innocently.
Trevor roars with laughter. “If you don’t get over here,” he calls.
“Don’t say things to me you don’t mean.”
A second later, he comes after me and lifts me off my feet, causing me to burst into a fit of laughter. He buries his face in my neck and growls. I reach for the side of his face and turn my head to kiss him.
“We have all night for me to give you what you want. Let me feed you so you have enough energy to take me,” he says in my ear as he turns to carry me in the direction of the restaurant.

“You have to try this. It’s divine,” Lynn sings, holding her spoon up to my lips.
I open my mouth and wrap it around the spoon. A hum leaves my mouth as the flavor bursts on my tongue. The tiramisu is delicious.
However, the really delicious thing at this table is the sight of my woman as she watches my mouth. She sticks her tongue out and licks her own lips. Her eyes are bright with lust.
I reach for my wallet and take out money for our meal. Dinner was nice and romantic, but I think it’s time we take our leave.
I’m not going to take her back to the villa yet. I have other plans for my little star. I grin at her, down my drink, and toss the money on the table.
“Let’s take a walk,” I say as I stand.
She stands and laces her fingers with mine as I lead her from the restaurant. The night air is nice and crisp, perfect for a walk.
We remain silent as we stroll through the quiet streets.
My lips turn up into a smile as I think of my plan for this walk. Lynn is already leaning into me as if a magnet is pulling us together. However, I want her panting and vibrating with need when I get her back to the villa.
Releasing my hold on her hand, I then wrap my arm around her shoulders and tease her skin with my fingertips. She shivers a little and looks up at me with a smile on her lips.
Wordlessly, I drop my arm and place my hand on her bare back. The light blue dress she has on allows me to rub my thumb back and forth on her skin. She wraps her arms around my waist and snuggles in close.
When I look down into her eyes, I can see her anticipation building for me. All night, I’ve been placing a touch here and a touch there.
The midthigh dress has made it easy for me to caress her soft skin and watch her breath hitch or goose bumps rise across her flesh.
“Trev,” she whispers as she looks into my eyes with lust in her gaze.
“What’s up?” I say as if I don’t already know the effect I have on her.
“I’m ready to go back to the villa. You’re driving me crazy.”
