I nod. “You’re right. I just wanted to feel you.”
“You will feel me one day. I promise you that,” he says in this sexy tone that makes my sex squeeze around him.
He groans and moves to stand up, holding his hand out for mine. I place my hand in his, savoring the warmth that travels between us.
He tugs me up and leads me into the bedroom, where we make love for the rest of the night. I say make love because he holds my gaze the entire time. Not once am I able to question his love for me.
CHAPTER 32
Wild Heart
Lynn
So far, Puglia has been as enchanting as Verona. Once again, Trevor took me out to a romantic dinner. Grotta Palazzese was a breathtaking cave restaurant. The food was okay, but the view and ambience were the real prizes.
We arrived early morning and spent the day exploring before heading to the vineyard we’d be staying at for the rest of our trip. Trevor had our luggage sent ahead so we could enjoy the day. The heat was the only thing that took away from the magic of our exploring.
Trev’s face remained flushed most of the afternoon. That didn’t keep the smile from his lips though. I get this feeling he’s up to something. Puglia isn’t a random choice to end our trip.
Although the views, the beaches, the caves—all kept me on sensory overload. I couldn’t have chosen a better location to end this trip. Trevor made spending time in the turquoise water a magical experience.
By the time we made it to the vineyard, I was too exhausted to fully digest that we wouldn’t be sharing a room. It wasn’t until I woke alone in the middle of the night that I began to ache with longing to have Trev by my side with his strong arms around me.
“Good morning,” Trev says when he lifts his head as I enter the dining room.
I give him a smile. “Good morning.”
The two young children of our host wave at me with beaming smiles on their faces. They’re adorable with their dark hair and light-brown eyes. The family doesn’t speak much English, from what I gathered last night.
Trev stands and pulls out the chair beside him. I round the table and sit as he pushes my chair in. I look up at him and smile. He dips his head to peck my lips.
The food smells delicious. My mouth waters and my stomach growls. Matteo says something in Italian, causing Trev to smile and laugh. I look at Trev questioningly as he retakes his seat.
“He said he can see why I’m in love with you. You’re a beautiful young woman,” he translates and leans in to kiss my temple.
“Grazie,” I say with a blush.
Matteo gives me a smile and points at the food for me to eat. Trevor picks up my plate and loads it with pancakes, sausage, and fresh fruit. After I pour some syrup over it, I dig in.
A moan slips from my mouth. It tastes so good, fresh and flavorful. The syrup is amazing.
“You have to try the jam,” Trev says.
He slathers some on a biscuit and holds it up to my lips. I bite into it and my eyes widen. It’s almost as good as my nanna’s jam. I nod my head and cover my mouth.
“So good.”
“Told you.”
I go back to eating my food and the table falls silent for a few as everyone devours their own food. Matteo clears his throat after a moment, catching Trevor’s attention.
Matteo then fires off something I can’t follow. Trevor seems to understand him quite well. He responds immediately, with a twinkle in his eyes.
Again, I look to him to translate for me. However, he shakes his head and goes back to eating. My curiosity is officially piqued.
I caught the words brother and ranch. I’m not sure what any of the rest was. Shaking it off, I shrug to myself and finish my breakfast.
“Ah, Trevor, il mio giovane amico,” a man who resembles Matteo croons as he walks in.
“Leonardo, it’s good to see you,” Trevor says and stands to greet the man.
“I was surprised but happy to receive your father’s call. It is always good to hear from him,” Leonardo says as he pulls Trevor into a tight hug. “I hope my brother and his family have treated you well.”
“Yes, they have been very hospitable. This is my girlfriend, Lynn. Lynn, I want you to meet Leonardo.”
I stand and hold my hand out. Leonardo waves me off and tugs me into a hug. I’m taken by surprise at first but return the friendly hug. It’s like being pulled in by an uncle you haven’t seen in a long time, but the embrace is still warm and welcoming.
“Are you guys ready to go?”
I look to Trev with my brows knit. I have no idea what Leonardo is talking about. I thought we were going to explore again. All Trevor said last night before I went to my room was to dress in jeans and comfortable shoes today.
