Gianni - The Santinis (4 page)

At the end of the
night, Kianna was ready to scream. Her hormones were screeching for
relief. She had told herself that Gianni had kept up with her because
he needed it while he had been gone. It was hard not to get excited
that she was the first person he had called when he got back to
Valdosta.

Still, she shouldn’t
expect much. He was military and goodness, six years younger than she
was.

He stopped at the
opened door and asked, “So, what are you doing tomorrow?”

“
I’m not
sure. I have some papers to grade.”

“
How about we
go to breakfast at Anna’s?”

“
That sounds
good. She might even bring the baby in tomorrow.”

She was holding the
door open and he leaned in for a kiss. She felt everything in her
flutter then explode. Her nipples tightened and heat danced over her
nerve endings.

He pulled back then
rested his forehead against hers. “I really should go.”

She sighed, regret
heavy in her chest. “Yeah.”

Another kiss, this
one quick but just as tempting. “I don’t want to.”

Her heart jumped.
“Really?”

He gave her another
heated kiss. “I really want to take you back to your bedroom
and touch every inch of your flesh.”

She really should
say no. It was too fast, too much. But, instead, she threw caution to
the wind and slammed the door shut.

“
Sounds good
to me.”

S
ometimes I think
I think too much for my own good. –Kianna

Relief coursed
through Gianni as he pulled her against his body. He cupped her face
and leaned in slowly to kiss her. Part of him wanted to rush…gorge
himself on her. He fought those urges. He wanted this to last, to be
the one thing that they both remembered for decades to come. He swept
inside, taking in the taste of the tiramisu she had made. Was there
anything as delicious as that? He needed to see her skin, touch her
flesh. He walked her back as he tried pulling up her shirt. It took a
few tries to get the shirt up and over her head. He threw it
somewhere on the floor behind him as they kissed their way into her
bedroom. It was dark but he did his best to get her to the bed. They
fell onto the bed and bounced up together. She was still laughing
when he kissed her. He swallowed her joy, lapped it up. He had never
met a person with so much love for life.

He kissed his way
down her body, pausing long enough to undo her bra then continuing
on. By the time he had her naked, he was barely able to think of
anything but her. He pulled himself up to his knees and looked down
at her.

Thank the good lord
for curvy women.

“
Gianni?”

“
Sorry,”
he said trying to shake his head to get his brain to work.

He didn’t want
to wait. He wanted to dive into her, feel those muscles wrap around
him and lose himself in the wonder of being inside of her. But, he
knew better than to rush it. It had been a while for him—because
of the deployment and before it. He’d been preoccupied with
things…and hadn’t met anyone worth the effort.

Until Kianna
.

He leaned down and
kissed her belly, then slipped down between her legs. He kissed each
one of her thighs. With each lick, he inched closer to his goal. When
he finally settled himself between her legs, he drew in a deep
breath. Her arousal mixed with her unique scent drifting over
him…teasing him…tempting him.

Gianni didn’t
hesitate. He placed his mouth on her sex. The first taste of her
danced over his tongue. Decadently delicious. Her fingers slipped
through his hair as he teased her clit, tugging on it with his teeth.
She shivered, telling Gianni that she was close….very close.

He pulled back and
she moaned. When he rose to his knees again, she was frowning at him.
He wanted to laugh, but he figured Kianna wouldn’t be any
happier with him.

“
What’s
the matter?” he asked, teasing her.

“
I’m
naked and you’re not.”

He looked up at her.
She was leaning back on her elbows as she looked at him. Just like
that first day, she stole his breath away.

“
That is
something I can definitely rectify.”

He pulled his shirt
over his head, but when he tried to undo his buckle, he was
embarrassed to find his hands shaking.

He slipped out of
bed and tried again, but she was already there to help. She slid to
the edge of the bed, grabbed hold of the waistband of his jeans and
tugged him closer.

“
I can help
you with that,” she said, her voice husky with her own need.
She undid the buckle then unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans. Within
moments, he was naked and she had her clever hands running over him.
She teased his cock, sliding the tip of her finger from the base to
the tip, then, she followed it with her tongue. Damn.

He usually had
better control, but the action had his body raring to go. He thought
she would stop but instead, she took him into her mouth.

He leaned his head
back and groaned. She tormented him for only a few moments before he
called a stop to it.

“
That’s
not very fair,” she said pouting.

He smiled. “I’ll
let you be as bad as you want to later. Right now, I just want you.”

Then, he realized he
hadn’t come prepared. The man who prided himself on always
being ready, came without his safety equipment.

“
Gianni?
What’s the matter?”

“
I forgot to
bring a condom.”

She laughed. “Is
that it?” Slipping out of bed to open her nightstand, she
grabbed a condom.

“
I wanted to
make sure if there was a chance, that I was prepared.”

He laughed and took
the condom. He cupped her face and kissed her. He expected it to be
quick, but it turned into something else. Keeping his eyes open, he
deepened the kiss, stealing inside, letting her taste herself on his
tongue. She closed her eyes and hummed. He felt it all the way to the
soles of his feet.

They fell on the bed
again. He didn’t waste any time. Ripping open the package, he
got the condom out and rolled it on. He slipped his hands beneath her
ass and pulled her up, entering her in one hard thrust.

Damn.

She had been
prepared, and oh, damned, so fucking wet, but she still gasped at the
intrusion. He knew he should apologize, but he couldn’t seem to
bring himself to do it. It felt so fucking good to be inside her.

He pulled himself up
to his hands and started to move. Immediately, she picked up his
rhythm. Soon, she was coming undone as she screamed his name. Her
muscles pulled him deeper into her causing him to almost come. But he
didn’t want to. He wanted to see her lose herself in pleasure
and be there right with her when it happened. He rose to his knees,
and tugged her up so that they were face to face.

“
Gianni,”
she said, her voice deepened with her release. It sent a spike of
heat coursing through his veins.

He kissed her, open
mouth, hot, wet…then said, “Come again for me, Kianna.”

He felt it slam into
her, saw her eyes go blurry with her pleasure as they shut and she
leaned her head back with a moan. He was helpless then, watching her
release, feeling all those little muscles clamp down on his cock. He
followed her, shouting her name.

* * * *

“
Okay, I might
be dead,” Gianni said.

Kianna laughed.
“Yeah?”

“
Tell my
mother I loved her and it was worth it.”

Her body was still
warm and she hadn’t gotten her breath back and he was teasing
her. She loved a man with a good sense of humor.

“
I will,
although she will wonder who I am.”

“
Vince will
know who you are.”

That was
interesting. “Yeah? So can I have his number?”

He rose up to look
at her. He was frowning at her but his eyes danced with amusement.
Not for the first time, Kianna thought she might be able to eat him
up with a spoon.

“
No. I am not
giving Vince a chance to even get close to you.”

She let one eyebrow
rise. “And why is that?”

“
He’d
make a play for you.”

She shrugged,
enjoying him, enjoying the moment. “But you’re dead, so
it wouldn’t matter.

“
I would come
back from the dead to haunt both of you.”

She smiled at him.
“Then you might get an eye full.”

He rolled over on
top of her. “Reports of my death might have been exaggerated.”

He pressed himself
inside her. He was already hardening again and she shivered.

Then he cursed. “I
need a condom.”

He pulled out of
her, grabbed a fresh condom and had it on pretty fast. She expected
him to cover her again but instead, he reversed their positions and
she found herself on top of him.

“
Take me in,
Kianna.”

She trembled just
from the sound of her name on his lips. It spoke to something in her
soul, something she was afraid to even think about. Brushing those
thoughts aside, she wrapped her fingers around him and slowly slid
down his length.

His fingers dug into
her hips as she started to move, gyrating her hips every few times.
Each time she did, she pulled a groan from his lips. She was still
wet from their last time but she felt herself grow wetter by the
minute. Seeing the power she had over him, just this little bit, sent
a surge of arousal through her. It jolted her to her core but it also
made her so damn hot. He leaned up and she thought he would take back
control. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her and took her nipple
into his mouth. She had never been someone with very sensitive
breasts, but each time his teeth scrapped across the tip of it, heat
danced over every nerve ending in her body.

Soon, though, his
teasing, the feel of his breath on her flesh, and the sensation of
being filled with him got to be too much. She bent her head down to
kiss him as her orgasm rushed through her. Kianna was barely through
with her last orgasm when a second slammed into her. This time,
Gianni leaned his head back, and groaned her name as he came.

It was possibly one
of the most beautiful sights she’d ever witnessed.

Moments later, they
collapsed. Kianna was sticky with perspiration and she was going to
be sore in so many places.

And it felt so good.

“
Okay, I might
be dead too this time. We better leave a note,” she said.

He laughed, wrapping
his arms around her, kissing the side of her neck. “Thank you
for the best homecoming ever.”

Kianna snuggled
closer, enjoying the feel of him beneath her. Within moments she was
drifting off to sleep to the beat of his heart.

One of the things
I miss the most while I’m deployed is lazy Sunday mornings.
–Gee

Kianna woke to the
smell of something sweet and savory cooking. Keeping her eyes closed,
she drew in a deep breath. If her dream smelled that good, she didn’t
want to wake up. She wanted to sleep in, then mosey her way down to
Anna’s for something decadent for breakfast. Something with
cream and sugar she could lick off her fingers.

She frowned
realizing that she hadn’t been dreaming it. She was awake.
Opening her eyes slowly. The memory of the night before washed over
her, through her. She smiled and reached for Gianni only to find his
side of the bed empty.

She sat up, the
sheet falling to her waist. She gasped when she realized she was
still naked. Pulling the sheet up to cover her breasts, she sighed.
It had been a really long time since she’d slept naked. It had
been since she and Charley had first married. She was a lot younger
and definitely not as curvy at that point of her life. She vaguely
remembered getting up to throw on a nightshirt at some point, but
Gianni had told her it was a waste of time to get dressed.

She pulled her legs
up and rested her head on her knees. Damn the man had her head
spinning. She couldn’t get all tangled up in the idea that they
were going to be involved for a long time. He was Air Force and would
be moving on soon. Plus, he was younger. He wasn’t interested
in settling down. But, she couldn’t resist the fantasy of
having the man in her bed every night.
