‘If you are sure?’

‘Yep. Now I just need to work out what I’m gonna do all week.’ She blew out a defeated breath.

‘There are many places to visit. Some of the beaches in Salento are so beautiful that they call them the Maldives of Italy. And you could go on a guided tour of the illuminated caverns at Grotte Di Castellana… I could make a list.’

‘To go on my own.’ Her shoulders slumped and an uncomfortable silence filled the air.

‘I could go to some places with you,’ I blurted out and her face instantly brightened.

That was a very, very bad idea. But I could not help it. Sammie looked so defeated and for some reason, making her smile was becoming one of my favourite things to do.

‘You’d do that?’ Her eyes filled with hope. ‘Would you be allowed? I mean, wouldn’t you be working?’

‘During the second week guests organise their own activities, so I am able to have more time off.’

‘If you’re sure, then I’d really love that. I enjoy spending time with you.’

‘The feeling is mutual,’ I said.

Our eyes met and just like last night, I had an overwhelming urge to kiss her. My gaze dropped to her lips.

I wondered if they felt as soft as they looked.

I wondered how they tasted.

And I wondered if once I started to kiss her, I would be able to stop.

If she let me, I would kiss her beautiful breasts.

I would kiss every inch of her, then beg Sammie to let me bury my head between her legs.

As I pictured myself licking her pussy, my cock thickened.

Cazzo.

I wanted Sammie so much.

When my eyes returned to hers, Sammie’s lips were parted and desire burned in her eyes.

She inched forward and I stroked her cheek, then traced my finger over her bottom lip.

Sammie groaned with pleasure and the sound made my dick strain against my shorts.

‘Kiss me,’ Sammie moaned softly.

Hearing her give me permission caused a bolt of electricity to shoot through my veins.

I should not accept her invitation.

There was still time to walk away from this.

But I did not want to. I wanted to kiss her.

And no one would know.

Victoria told me to come and see Sammie. Not to cross the line with her obviously, but this would just be a secret between me and Sammie.

If I was going to kiss her, now was the perfect time.
