Unraveled (Guzzi Duet Book 1)(73)

“No?”

“I tried that yesterday.”

Gian smirked. “And it didn’t work.”

“Seems not.”

“It won’t be for long, like I said.” Gian checked his watch. “And you have three hours before you have to be at the airport.”

“Breakfast, then? I can cook or we can order in.”

Gian took the sight of Cara in again, drinking in her show of skin, the curves of her hips, and her delicate lines. Every inch of her was a giant tease to him. A wonderland to explore, and to use to satisfy the darkest urges beating through his mind and body. Those damn urges only increased whenever she was nearby.

“They won’t serve what I’m interested in,” he said with a grin.

“Oh, my God. You are insatiable.”

Gian shrugged.

This wasn’t news.

“Insatiable would imply that I don’t give you a break. In case you forgot, you slept alone in my bed last night. Unfucked, Cara.”

Her cheeks pinked. “Yes, well—”

“By my choice, too,” Gian interjected quickly.

“I’m surprised you didn’t jump at the chance for angry sex, considering the way you go on in bed all the time.”

He cocked a brow. “Angry sex is unhealthy. Like anything that’s unhealthy, it’s usually too enjoyable for its own good. Before you know it, you’re causing fights, just to fuck and get that feeling back. Not interested, bella mia. We have enough to argue about, without adding nonsense like that in, too. Sorry.”

Cara’s blue eyes twinkled with her surprise. “That was not a response I expected.”

“I’m full of surprises.”

Gian crooked a finger at Cara as he leaned back in his large office chair. She didn’t question his motives. She walked right over to his side with one of her sly smiles, anticipation burning brightly in her gaze.

Once she was close enough for him to reach out and grab her, Gian did just that. Cara sprawled into his lap, cradled in his arms. Her legs hung over the arm of the chair. The button-down shirt of his that she was wearing had spread open more, exposing the swell of her breasts.

Gian couldn’t help but run the tips of his fingers over the peaks of her already-taut nipples. Then, he gave them a pinch, making Cara gasp and arch her back higher, closer to his hands again for more.

Cara gave him a stern stare that only make him chuckle. “How do you live with yourself?”

“Like you,” he said, “I’ve learned to love it.”

“You’re terribly—”

“Cocky. I know.”

“You could at least let me say it.”

“You’re not saying anything that I don’t already know.”

“Smartass.”

“Yours, though,” Gian murmured through a grin.

She preened in that happy, pleased way of hers.

“You always say the right things.”

“I do, don’t I?” he asked.

“And then you ruin it just as fast,” she said with a shake of her head.

“Let me make up for it.”

Cara peered up at him through her thick lashes. “And how do you plan to do that?”

“Orgasms. Morning orgasms.”

“Well, then.”

“They make up for everything, Cara.”

“Yours certainly do,” she agreed.

“And you wonder why I have a fucking complex, amore.”

Cara shrugged. “More orgasms, less talking.”

“But you like it when I talk and fuck you.”

“Yes, but at the same time, Gian.”

Fair enough.

“Get those fucking legs open, so I can get to what’s mine, Cara,” he demanded low.

With a sweet little sigh, she did as he wanted, widening her legs over the arm of the chair. His gaze roamed over the shape of her hips, to the line of the panties keeping her pussy covered with a scrap of lace.

“I love it when you make it easy on me.”

Cara’s grin turned sinful. “Sometimes, you like to take it, too.”

He agreed, but his attention was elsewhere now.

He had a goal.

Get Cara off.

Do it again.

And then fuck her until his brain wasn’t such a mess.

Good plan, Gian told himself.

Hopefully, it would be enough to sedate him until he got his stubborn, sexy girl back, but he doubted it. Cara was an obsession for Gian. From the way she talked, to the way she walked. All her smiles, and when she grew quiet. How she felt under his hands and beneath his control. Her desires and fears.

Their what ifs.

All of it.

Every single bit.

Gian was so fucking obsessed.

“Will you be my good girl this morning?” He traced the shape of her lips with his fingertips. Cara kissed the digits before sucking the tips into her teasing mouth. “Can you be patient, or will you turn greedy again?”

Cara released his fingers from between her lips to say, “I thought you liked your greedy slut, Gian?”

He grabbed a handful of hair at the back of her head and pulled her up for a bruising kiss. He enjoyed when she melted into the demands of his kiss, but he liked it even better when she fought for control.
