The sound of the wind still roared outside the villa. The sound of their heavy breathing filled the inside.

Lorenzo pressed his face against Riley’s neck, loving the feel of her arms wrapped around him. The smell of her mixed with the scent of sex.

A shadow moved through his contentment. He couldn’t keep her. His duty was to his role as the Keeper of the Winds. He couldn’t leave the island, and Riley’s life was in Virginia. He also knew she loved to travel.

He had to let her go.

She shifted and he pulled back to sit on the bench. “I’ll be back,” he told her. He made a quick trip to the downstairs bathroom to deal with the condom.

When he walked back to her, she didn’t do anything to hide her bold gaze as she took in his naked body. When he sat down, she instantly resettled in his lap.

Those pretty gray eyes focused on him and a sexy smile curved her lips. “I can hear you thinking.”

He could do this. He had to. “There can never be anything between us, Riley. You know that.”

Her smile disappeared. “No. I don’t.”

“My duty must always come first—”

“I’m planning on falling in love with you.”

He sucked in a breath. Her words were a sharp, twisting knife to the gut. He shook his head. “No.”

When he tried to move her off him, she gripped his arms and stayed in place. “I think I started falling the first time you looked at me and scowled. You were this big grumpy bear with shadows in your beautiful brown eyes. I asked Luca that day what the Italian word for bear was.”

She was tearing him open. “Riley…don’t do this.”

“Are you falling in love with me?”

He closed his eyes. “I don’t know what love is. I love my brothers, but my mother died when we were young and my father…”

She sighed, and cupped his cheeks. “Let me show you. Let me show you how I feel.”

“Riley—”

She shifted her hips until his cock was once again nudging between her thighs.

“Condom?” he rasped.

“I’m out.” Her voice was stricken.

“I have some upstairs.” He surged to his feet, carrying her with him. He navigated the house in the dark and soon shouldered into his room. It was better this way because he wanted her in his bed. He would have to show her they had no future, but for now, she was his.

He lowered them to the sheets, moonlight spilling over them.

It took him seconds to grab a foil pack from the bedside table and sheath himself. Once he was sheathed, she lowered herself down with exquisite slowness. Then he was sliding inside her and she moaned.

Sensation tore through him. Dio, he couldn’t resist this small woman.

This time the loving was slow. Desire ebbed and flowed, igniting every nerve. Her hands ran over his back, like she couldn’t get enough of the feel of him.

No one had ever been like this with him. He had a bond with his brothers, would do anything for them, but it wasn’t the same as being linked to one person.
