Chapter 13

Giada’s heart was beating in her throat, her entire body pumping at an erratic rhythm. She was kissing Gabriel. She had boldly suggested it herself. Of course, she did it in a half-joking way so that she could back out if he reacted badly to her proposal.

But he didn’t. His arms had snaked around her waist, holding her firmly. Not that she needed any encouragement to mold herself to him.

She concentrated on how his mouth claimed hers with a raw, almost hungry desire. Licks of electricity coursed through her veins and her insides quivered. He was such a good kisser, and such a perfect man.

She took a deep breath, and his scent enveloped her. It was all she’d dreamed about throughout her entire adolescence and most of her adult years. It was finally happening. And it felt so much better than in her fantasies.

Her happiness would’ve been spotless, if not for one thought that nagged at the back of her mind. She tried to ignore it, to focus on how soft Gabriel’s skin felt, how heavenly he smelled, or how his teeth played with her lower lip.

But the disturbing idea came back like a boomerang each time she pushed it away.

Why was Gabriel kissing her now? What had changed? Did anything change at all?

Are you nuts? Gabriel has finally noticed you. It doesn’t matter why, how, or how long. Enjoy the moment.

It would be so easy to listen to the irresponsible voice of her inner goddess. The one only concentrating on pleasure. But Giada’s other half, the more responsible, worrying, eternal romantic, the one who had true and deep feelings for Gabriel, didn’t let go.

Was it her frigging dress? Maybe she should’ve worn her normal clothes instead of trying to play femme fatale for a simple dinner. She might’ve given Gabriel the wrong impression.

Was it all a moment of lust for him? Did the enticing setting of this village prompt this reaction from Gabriel? Was he just blowing off steam after their stressful conversation?

Gabriel’s fingers teased her neck, hauling her back to reality. The shivers cascading down her skin made her dizzy. To hell with these preoccupations. She was just going to see where things went. For now, they were on an amazing course.

“Oh, mon Dieu. What a coincidence! It’s Gabriel and Giada.”

What the heck? The unpleasant voice was all too familiar. Could it be…?

Giada pulled away from Gabriel and looked around. She snapped her head in the direction of the voice and froze.

How could this be? How did Aurélie find them?

She stood not far from them with one arm looped around Jean-Pierre’s elbow. Gabriel’s cousin’s eyes were fixed on the sky, his mouth pulled into a frown. He looked like a tiger on the circus ring. Angry and at unease.

Aurélie, on the other hand, was smiling brightly at them. “Isn’t it magnifique? I’m sure happy to bump into you. We were just strolling through this street searching for Cours Mirabeau.”

Gabriel, who had been standing like a statue ever since Giada pulled back from their kiss, flinched.
