“You’re doing good.”
I didn’t want to do good. I wanted to be amazing, wanted to show Romero that I was a woman and not the girl he still occasionally took me for. Pushing my worries aside, I bent over him and took him into my mouth.
Romero jerked under me in surprise and gripped the back of my head. “You don’t have to do that.”
It wasn’t said with conviction. I licked from his base up to the top. He didn’t taste of anything, except for the tip where a few droplets had gathered. I licked them away without thinking.
Romero cursed, raking his hand through my hair.
“Am I doing this right?” I asked after a couple of minutes.
“Fuck yes. You don’t even know how hard it is not to thrust into your mouth.”
“If that’s what you want, you can do it.”
“No, not today. Take your time and do what you like. I’ll enjoy it all, trust me,” he said in a low voice. And so I did. I licked around his tip and took him into my mouth, trailed my tongue along his length over and over again. Romero didn’t make a lot of sounds but his hand in my hair tightened and he sucked in his breath every now and then.
“I’m going to come,” he warned. I sucked harder, gripping his thighs to find better leverage, and then Romero came with a low groan. I kept him in my mouth, waiting for him to go soft, but he didn’t. He wasn’t as hard as he’d been but he definitely wasn’t soft. I released him and swallowed, still unsure if I liked the taste or not.
My cheeks were hot as I met Romero’s gaze and I shivered under the force of his expression, dark and hungry, but then it softened as his thumb stroked my mouth. “I meant that as a warning. You didn’t have to swallow, Lily,” Romero said. He gripped my waist and pulled me against him before he kissed me softly. “Are you okay? Or was it terrible for you? I shouldn’t have allowed you to go this far,” he said, voice thick with guilt.
My brows puckered. “Terrible? No, why? I wanted to make you feel good. I don’t mind it when you come in my mouth.”
Romero let out a breathless laugh. “Don’t say those things to me. I won’t be able to focus anymore.”
I grinned, then my gaze flitted down to Romero’s erection again. “Why isn’t it going soft?”
I could see Romero’s confusion, then realization set in and his mouth twisted in a grin that bordered on proud. “Only because I’ve come doesn’t mean I’m not still turned on. It takes more than one orgasm to make me go soft.”
“Really?” I asked wickedly.
Romero shook his head, his fingers capturing my wrist and pressing my palm against his muscled chest to stop it from wandering. “Not tonight. It’s late. You can’t stay that long.”
Disappointment banished my excitement. “I know.”
Romero stroked my cheek. “We have to be careful. Believe me I’d love to spend all night with you.”
I nodded and put my head back down on his chest. I wanted to catch a couple of hours of sleep before I had to sneak back to my room. Enjoy the moment, I told myself before I fell asleep.
CHAPTER TEN
Romero
After Lily had given me that blowjob, I spent the next day thinking about nothing but returning the favor with my tongue. It was a good thing that the mansion wasn’t the most dangerous place, because my focus was gone. I didn’t think I’d have done a good job protecting anyone if there had been an attack.
My cock was so hard it almost hurt as I waited in my bed that night for Lily to come over. When midnight rolled around and she wasn’t there yet, I almost went in search for her. I couldn’t remember the last time I’d been that horny.
When my door finally opened and Lily walked in, dressing in a flimsy nightgown, I had to stop myself from shoving her up against the wall and burying myself in her. That was the one thing I couldn’t do. Many borders had already been crossed but that was where I had to draw the line.
Lily hopped into bed and kissed me eagerly. It seemed I wasn’t the only one who’d waited for this. “Gianna and Matteo were in the corridor, so I had to wait,” she said, her fingers already traveling over my chest and down my stomach toward my dick.
I loved her touch, but it was my turn. I grabbed her and flipped her on her back. She gasped in surprise. I hooked my hands in her waistband and slid her panties down her legs, then I paused. This was still new for Lily. I couldn’t treat her like the women I’d been with before. “Is this okay?”
She lifted her legs to help me pull her panties over her feet. She nodded quickly. There was only need in her eyes. I smiled as I stroked her soft calf before I shifted it to the side so I could position myself between her legs and a hint of embarrassment showed on her beautiful face, but I didn’t give her time to think about it. She had nothing to be embarrassed about. I lowered myself to my stomach, pushed her legs farther apart and after a moment to appreciate the sight of her arousal, I took a long lick. Lily let out a gasp, her hand flying to the back of my head.
“Romero,” she said in wonder, and my fucking heart swelled at hearing my name from her lips.
