Page 7 of The Virgin and Her Bodyguard
When my lips press against hers, I can feel her body push closer to mine.Her mouth opens, and her tongue comes out to taste me, tentatively like she’s shy.I groan at how good it feels and then my hand on her waist moves inside her overalls.When my fingers find the edge of her panties, I grab her ass.
The moan she makes is so sweet and delicate that I have to stop myself.It takes all my strength to let go of her ass and take my hand out of her overalls.Giving her one last kiss, I step back and take a deep breath.It’s as much to get myself under control as it is to fill my lungs.I’m almost certain she sucked the soul out of me with that kiss.
“Wow,” she says and puts a hand to her forehead.
“Yeah,” I agree, and then we grin at one another.
Fuck, I want to kiss her again, but we can’t get caught out here.I need to go back to the house to meet with Marco, but I have to see her again.
“Meet me tonight,” she says, as if reading my thoughts.
“Where’s safe?”I look around, and although this spot is okay, it’s too risky out in the open.
“There’s a boathouse on the other side of the estate.It’s another hideout Pru and I use, and it will be safe.”
“I’ll try and get away after dinner,” I tell her, and she nods.
Before I can stop myself, I put my hands on either side of her face and pull her in for another kiss.It’s nearly impossible to let her go the second time, but I manage to do it.
After that I make my way back to the house and curse everything that’s keeping us apart.
ChapterSix
NOLIA
Why don’t I have any sexy underwear?I dig through my dresser drawers and come up with nothing.He’s going to think I’m so lame in teal-colored panties, but that’s the best I’ve got.They aren’t even silk or lace, just plain cotton.All I have to choose from is teal or white.
I huff and shut my dresser in frustration before I catch sight of myself in the mirror.I’m fresh out of the shower so my hair is still wet.All I'm wearing is a bra and underwear, but at least they match.For some reason, I want to be sexy.Never in my life have I wanted that, but when Luca kissed me, my whole world tilted.Now I’m thinking about things I never have before.
My mouth still tingles from his kiss, and I wonder if he knew it was my first time.I can be headstrong and have some bite, but I’m finding that when it comes to having a crush, I’m so out of my depth.I have no confidence in this area because I’ve never fallen for a man before.
Luca has me believing that maybe he and I could be more.That this could go beyond using each other as a means to an end.When I'm close to him, I think anything is possible.When we’re together, he makes me feel that it will all work out.Only the second he's away from me, doubt seeps in, and my own mind turns against me.
“Lia,” my dad calls from the other side of my bedroom door.
“Just out of the shower,” I call back.
“I’m headed to bed.”
“All right, Dad.Love you.”I could tell he would turn in early.He looked exhausted over dinner and could barely keep his eyes open.
“Love you too, sweetheart,” he calls back, then I hear his bedroom door close a few seconds later.
At least I won’t get any questions about where I’m headed off to if he’s asleep.I’d rather not sneak out of my window.I feel like an asshole when I do because I’d much rather use the front door.Most of the time I don’t because I know he’ll worry over what I’m up to.
I darted off after dinner to get ready to meet up with Luca.That is, if he can make it.I heard that there was a small party happening tonight, so I know what that means.Women will be brought.
They’ll all hang out on the east side of the estate, where they have an area that is always set up for these kinds of events.The men play cards while half-naked women wander around the room.They openly give blowjobs and have sex while getting drunk and high.The parties are infamous and sometimes go until dawn.
I’m willing to bet all those women would have the sexiest panties and bras.I huff again before falling back onto my bed.What if Luca doesn't show?Then I'll know he's at the party.My stomach turns at the thought.I suppose there’s only one way to find out.
If I don’t show up and he does, then he would definitely end up back at the party.I shouldn’t care, but I do.I loathe the jealousy I’m feeling right now and hate myself for it.I shouldn’t get attached to this man, but that doesn’t stop me from getting off the bed.
I style my hair in a braid and apply some lip gloss and mascara.The sexiest outfit I have is jean shorts and a shirt that I turned into a crop top.It will have to do.Right before I’m about to pull on my shorts, I decide to ditch my underwear.If they're not sexy, there's no better option.Right?
When I finally make it to the boat dock, I’m disappointed when I don’t see Luca there.I sit down to wait.
“Crap,” I mutter when I realize I forgot the pen Luca gave me.Not that I would use it for this.I know it’s only for emergencies, but he told me to have it with me at all times.
