First kisses were for testing, tasting and they were a question and this kiss answered all the questions that had been running through his mind concerning what he really felt for Gianni and he was right, about how he felt for her and the fact that she felt something for him too, warmed his heart. Nathan angled his head and deepened the kiss as Gianni lifted her arms and wrapped around his neck, standing on her tiptoe, her lips parting beneath his. Her breath catching, sharp, and sweet when the tip of his tongue met hers and they danced in sync as they continued kissing. They broke apart for air. “I love how you taste,”Nathan whispered before he claimed her lips again, she moaned softly. He tugged at her bottom lips, biting and sucking in before taking her tongue into his mouth. He never thought he would be kissing Gianni when he got into the car earlier but he got lucky, she didn’t hate him and she was letting him kiss her while kissing him right back. “Hell, my parents,”Gianni sa
“My parents like you a lot, Mama especially, but then again, she has been trying to set me up with a potential husband and you might have fit into what she wants,”Gianni said as they took a walk in the flower field later that evening. He spent hours talking to her parents and her dad had suggested that Gianni show him around the house. which is what they were currently doing. “I am glad they do,”“So, you don’t mind that my mom might be trying to set us up?”Nathan shook his head in response. Wait until she found out his dad was trying to be a matchmaker too. “Should I?” “How long are you going to be in Italy for?”Gianni asked, ignoring his question. Nathan took her hand in his. She looked down at their joint hands before looking at him, he smiled and she did too. “Dad gave me a whole month. I thought it would really take that long to convince you to forgive me but you are such a kind-hearted woman and now I have three complete weeks and five days to spend exploring Italy and be
Nathan waited long enough for them to enter the house and closed the door behind them before he backed her against the door and claimed her lips in an intense kiss that was nothing like the ones they had shared earlier today, this kiss was a lot more intense and passionate with only one end goal in mind. The bed. Gia was there with him as her hands found their way to his hair, she was just as heated as he was and he liked that he wasn’t alone. When he left the house earlier, he never could have imagined that Gia would come back with him not to talk of making out with him right now. This was clearly his lucky year because everything he wanted so far, he got. He wanted the rest of his life to be like that. He always wanted to get what he wanted. “I want you so bad right now, Gia,”He whispered to her as he pulled her along with him to the bedroom he had been using since he arrived. Once in the room, he pulled her to him again and kissed her hard. He reached between them and took off he
They spent the next three weeks mostly together, they barely left the bed and when they did, it was to eat and sometimes they went over to the mansion to see her parents. They couldn’t hide the fact that they were together from her parents because her mom caught on almost immediately when they arrived at the house three days after they left. She had been overjoyed and hugged Nathan. She went on to talk about marriage plans and Gianni had shut her up but she didn’t give up. Nathan was pleased that they accepted their relationship. When he called Sebastian, the old man already knew because Gianni’s dad had told him and he was pleased too. Even if they had not approved, he still would have chosen to be with Gianni.Sebastian made sure to remind Nathan that he was to marry Gianni. That was the agreement. Nathan had rolled his eyes and told him to mind his business. He wanted to marry Gianni but he also wanted it to be at their pace and not because his dad wanted him to but because of some
“That’s a lie, you saw me as a fool, and knew I couldn’t resist you so you decided to have fun with me, hoping that I would foolishly go back to Sydney with you and be your wife, you were right, I would have gone with you. I fell for your lies. I trusted you so blindly because I thought you of all people knew me and cared for me,”She let out. He couldn’t blame her. He should have told her everything. He had three weeks to tell her but he kept stalling until that bastard interfered. It was what he wanted. What he had been hoping would happen which was why he had called Gianni. Nathan wanted to find Pedro and rip him in halves. “Gianni, look at me. I know. I did you wrong by not telling you what my dad wanted but my feelings for you are real. Yes, I was going to ask you to marry me someday but not because Dad wants it or because of what I stand to gain from our union but because I love you,”He said in a pleading voice. He wished he could turn back the hand of time, just long enough f
The plane ride back to Sydney was long and filled with silence. Nathan tried to talk to Gianni but she refused to speak to him so he gave up and decided to give her the space that she needed. She went to the bedroom on the plane while he remained seated. He had to speak to some of the directors who called him to let him know that they were aware of what had happened because it was all over the news which further proved there was someone within the mansion carrying the family news outside. Nathan made a mental note to fish them out when he finally settled down enough. “Gia? We are landing,” He said, tapping her gently, she opened her eyes and glared at him, removing his hand from her body. He nodded wordlessly and walked back to take his seat. She came out a few minutes later and took the seat further away from him. Even though it had only been a couple of hours since she stopped talking to him, it felt like forever and he missed her. He didn’t have time to dwell on that as the plane
“You both made your choice. Yes, I get, I am second choice,”“How is dad,” Nora asked.“Okay, not your second choice after all,”He let out. “Sorry, but how is dad,”Nathan let out a sigh and beckoned his sisters to come over. He hugged them both close. “He is going to be okay, right?”It was Nelly who spoke. “Yes, Dad is a fighter and this isn’t his first rodeo, I am sure he will wake up soon,”Nathan assured them even though he wasn’t feeling all that certain. He just hoped a miracle would happen soon. “Nora? Where is his phone?”He asked. “I kept it well so that no one will touch it like you instructed.”She answered and walked ahead of him into the house. the rest of them followed behind her. “You can use any room upstairs,”Nathan told Gianni when they entered the mansion. She didn’t respond and Nora came back with the phone. Nathan took it from her and checked the last person that called him before the heart attack happened and sure enough it was Pedro. “That son of a bi
The next morning, Nathan was woken by the ringing of his phone, he quickly reached for it and answered the call without checking the caller. “Nathan, sir,”It was his lawyer, Nathan sat up on the bed and turned to see Gianni still sleeping peacefully, beside him, he dropped a kiss on her hair before getting out of bed, he went to the balcony in his room and sat down. “Hi, what’s up?”He asked with a yawn.“You were still in bed? you are all over the news,”His lawyer disclosed. He wasn’t surprised, after what happened, it was bound to happen and he was slowly getting used to the media being a part of his life now. “That’s not news to me,”“Do you even know why you are on the news?”“Do I need to know? my dad is in a coma and I am really going to be busy, the last thing I care about right now is what the news is talking about me.”Nathan told him. he removed the phone from his ear to check the time, it was barely six am. “Your first cousin once removed did an interview last night a
