Chapter Nine

Two nights later, Jessica’s bedroom was a mess. Clothes littered the bed because she’d tried on and discarded one outfit after another. Make up palettes covered the surfaces in her en suite bathroom. She’d used every tool at her disposal to look as stunning as possible and boost her confidence, but she was still jittery.

Ricardo had phoned her with the news he’d been appointed as CEO on a two month, trial basis. Tonight, they were having dinner with his uncle and aunt, Raoul and Marguerite, to celebrate the unanimous vote, and she wanted to make a good impression. Not only was it important to Ricardo that their pretence held up in front of the couple, but Jessica also wanted their approval.

The strain of being with Ricardo and not yielding to their mutual desire had caused her sleepless nights and deep soul-searching. She wanted his love and was going to try to win it.

Ricardo was home ten minutes earlier than expected.

Jess couldn’t help herself. The second she saw him, she raced forward and launched herself into his arms to offer a congratulatory hug. ‘I’m so thrilled for you! You deserve this position.’

As he gathered her in his arms, she melted against him.

‘Suddenly, being CEO takes second place to coming home to your welcome,’ he said.

If he meant that, it was an amazing compliment.

The kisses he gave her were delicious, but left her craving more.

‘We can’t keep doing this,’ he rasped, ‘unless you’ve changed your mind and want to stay home tonight and celebrate privately.’

Her chest was tight and her womb clenched in unfulfilled need. But even as he lowered his head to continue kissing her, she clung to her resolve. She didn’t want to be just another notch on his bedpost.

His words were warm against her mouth as he said, ‘We won’t rush this. We can take all night.’

‘I’m not deliberately teasing you, Ricardo. I’d rather be here in your arms than anywhere else in the world, but I’m not ready to take the next step.’ She inhaled the unique scent of his cologne and the sheer masculinity that lay beneath it.

‘You’re sheer torture,’ he groaned. ‘You have no idea how much it’s costing me to wait for you.’

Her fingertips ran along the scratch of stubble peppering his jaw. Then, her arms wound around his neck and she was immersed in the slow, languorous feel of his tongue stroking hers. The action caused an acute pull of arousal from deep within her and the sound she made communicated her longing.

‘Sure you don’t want to change your mind?’

‘I’m sure.’ The words of denial were more whimpered than spoken.

He closed his eyes and she detected a slight shake of his head as he pulled away from her. ‘I’ll shower and shave before we go, mi bella dama, and try to strengthen my resolve so I don’t ravish you on the spot.’

Heat stole over her cheeks. It was a relief that he turned away, because otherwise he may have guessed the reason she blushed.
