Chapter Twenty Nine

Raphi took me over to the lifts and hit the button for up. His palm was warm in mine and his smile had me in knots. I didn’t ask questions as the lift arrived and we got in. Raphi pressed the button for the top floor. He moved closer to me, his arm brushing against mine as he stepped back. My skin tingled all over and my heart raced. We were alone for the first time in a week. My lips craved a taste of his.

I didn’t think it was possible to desire a person in the way I do him. It’s making me crazy.

Resisting the urge to shove him against the wall and kiss him proved harder than I anticipated. I preferred it when he was in control. When he took what he wanted. Didn’t stop me wanting him though. Craving everything with him.

My nerves were shaky as the lift door opened. He pulled me out and along a corridor. At the end were a set of doors with a security panel. Raphi punched in some numbers and then pushed the door open. We walked into a large office. There was a bank of monitors along one wall, a desk in the middle of the room and a couple of other desks along another wall.

Raphi turned to the panel on the wall next to the door and did something to it, but I wasn’t paying much attention to him.

“Where are we?” I asked, realising the monitors showed all angles of the casino.

“Oh, this is my parents’ office. That’s not what I want to show you.”

He pulled me away towards the window. I looked out on the London skyline. It wasn’t quite dark yet, but it was still a beautiful sight to behold. The city was spread out below us, the lights twinkling.

“That’s some view.”

“Right? I like to sit here and look out whenever I’m at the casino, which isn’t often to be honest. Not like I could go out on the floor until I turned eighteen. I’m not into gambling though. Quinn holds VIP poker tournaments, but otherwise, my parents don’t gamble either.”

“You didn’t want to go into the family business.”

He shook his head.

“No. My parents are proud of me for wanting to follow my passion. Besides, Duke and Aurora will take over from them when they retire.”

Raphi turned to me, dropping my hand. I angled my body towards him as his hands came up and landed on my chest. My breath stuttered at his touch and the way he was looking at me.

“There are no cameras in here.” He pushed me up against the window, my back pressed to the glass. “Have you been wanting to kiss me as much as I want to kiss you?”

I nodded, not trusting my voice. He leant closer. My mouth went dry and I tried not to think too hard about the fact we were in his parents’ office.

“Don’t worry, J, no one is coming up here.” His hand ran down my chest.
