But I wasn’t really paying attention to the music anymore. I was ocused on how close she was. How her shoulder pressed against mine. The faint musk of my shower gel clinging to her skin.

And the way her breath hitched when my hand covered hers.

She turned her head and suddenly our faces were inches apart.

Her breathing quickened. Her chest rose and fell rapidly. My shirt, the one she’d worn, did nothing to hide the reaction.

A flush crept up her neck, painting her skin with color. Her hand trembled on the keys. Mine tightened around her waist, fingers splaying possessively across her hip.

I could feel her heartbeat, wild and erratic through the thin cotton, matching the thunder of my own.

“Roman,” she whispered, her voice breathy.

“Anna.”

She leaned in further, her eyes dark with want, begging, and the words I’d longed to hear fell from her lips.

“Kiss me.”

“Are you sure?” My voice was rough and strained. “Because if we start this, I don’t trust myself to stop.”

“I’m sure.” Her lips parted as her gaze dropped to my mouth. “More than anything.”

I cupped her face in my hands and kissed her.

It was desperate and hungry and I poured everything into it. All the need I’d been suppressing all through the night.

She gasped against my mouth and I took advantage, deepening the kiss, my tongue sliding against hers. Her hands fisted in my shirt, pulling me closer, demanding more.

In one swift motion, I lifted her, turning her body and setting her on top of the piano. Sheet music scattered and the keys protested with a loud crash that I barely registered.

Her legs wrapped around my waist instantly, locking me against her.

I groaned at the contact, at the heat of her core pressed against my stomach even through our clothes.

My hands moved down her back, feeling every curve, every dip of her spine.

Down until I reached her thighs, gripping the soft flesh there. Her skin was like silk under my palms.

She shuddered and pressed closer, her body seeking friction.

I kissed her harder, consuming her. My hands slid up her thighs pushing the hem of my shirt higher, baring more skin to my touch. Her legs tightened around me and I felt her heat, feltow much she wanted this.

Her fingers threaded through my hair, tugging hard enough to sing. I growled against her mouth and kissed down her jaw, her neck, tasting the sweetness of her skin.

She arched into me, her head falling back, exposing the column of her throat. A soft moan escaped her.

“Roman,” she breathed, and the way she said my name, all need nd surrender, made me want to devour her whole.

When we finally broke apart, both of us were breathing hard. Her lips were swollen and red from my kisses.

She was the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen.

I lifted her off the piano, her legs still wrapped around my waist her arms around my neck. She clung to me, her body pressed flush against mine as 1 navigated through the hallway.

She kissed my neck, my jaw, anywhere she could reach. Her lips were soft and insistent and each touch made my control thin further.

I kicked open my bedroom door and carried her inside, laying her down on the bed with more gentleness than I felt.

She looked up at me with those beautiful eyes, her lips swollen, er hair spread across my pillow like a halo. My shirt had ridden up, exposing the smooth expanse of her thighs.

She was perfect.

I covered her body with mine and kissed her again, deeper this me, more demanding,

My tongue slid against hers in a rhythm that promised other things. Her hands roamed over my back and under my shirt, her touch setting every nerve ending ablaze.

My hand slid up her side, over her ribs, feeling her shiver. I found the first button of my shirt and began to undo it.

One button. She gasped, unable to hide her excitement.

Two buttons, a flash of creamy skin, the valley between her breasts.

Three buttons. Her chest heaving, breasts rising and falling rapidly.

“Your lips are so soft,” I murmured against her mouth, then kissel down her jaw. “So sweet. I could kiss you for hours.”

She gasped when my lips found that sensitive spot on her neck.

“Your skin…” I traced my tongue along her collarbone. “It’s so tener. So perfect.”

My hand splayed across her stomach, feeling the muscles quiver beneath my palm. “Every inch of you is beautiful, Anna. Perfect.”

She arched into my touch, a soft whimper escaping her throat that sent heat straight to my cock.

I kissed lower, tasting the skin I’d exposed. “You have no idea what you do to me.”

But even as I said it, I felt myself harden even more against her high, I felt the control I’d been desperately clinging to start to slip through my fingers like sand.

If I didn’t stop now, it would be too late,

I was a man of my word. I needed to earn her trust, not break the one promise I’d made to her.

I pulled back, breathing hard.

“What?” Anna’s eyes were confused and heavy-lidded. “Why didou stop?”

“I

“I gave you my word.” My voice was strained and I was breathing hard, my body tugging at me to continue. “No sex. And I intend to keep that promise. Which means we have to stop now before there’s no turning back.”
