He climbed onto his bike, grabbing his helmet off the handlebars. Then he looked up at and smiled at her so tenderly it took her breath away.

Gently patting the warm soapy sponge over Gio’s big strong shoulders and then down his chest, Bianca examined all the bruises and scrapes that were still very visible. As the water from the shower rinsed away the soap she kissed the bruises gently. She worked the sponge down to his hips as Gio brought his hand around her behind and squeezed a handful of her wet behind. He’d been hard from the moment she’d begun to undress him in the small hotel bathroom. Now he pressed against her, taking her mouth in his and kissing her with that need she loved feeling from him. As the warm water splashed down against their faces she kissed him back, with just as much need, moaning into his mouth.

Gio brought his hand around the front spreading her legs. If she let him and gave into her own yearning she’d spin around and bend over letting him take her right there but she was determined. Determined to not allow him to over exert himself—take care of him like she hadn’t been able to this whole past week.

She pulled back breathlessly just as his fingers entered her. “No,” She managed in a very strained whisper, his fingers still playing inside her. “Let’s go to the bed.”

Gio sucked her bottom lip, then brought his playful fingers up for her to suck—taste herself and she did, staring straight into his flaming eyes. “We could do this here,” he whispered, grabbing a fistful of her hair and tugging her head back a bit roughly, he dove into her neck sucking and nipping with his teeth.

The sensation was one she’d never felt. Felix had always been so gentle with her but it excited her like she never would’ve imagined. Still, she remembered his badly beaten body.

Barely able to catch her breath to get the words out she caressed his hard back. “Let’s go to the bed, Gio. I promise I’ll take care of you.”

His head lifted and their eyes met for a moment before the corner of his lip rose. Without another word he reached over and turned off the water. They walked out and toweled off, then walked over to the bed dropping the towels and climbed in bed.

Before Gio could take the lead and climb atop her Bianca took charge. “Lie very still,” she whispered then kissed his lips softly.

Gio was supposed to be still getting a lot of bed rest. But according to his mother he’d spent most of the week sulking in the garage. He now lay completely naked on the bed and Bianca began what she promised to do now and forever: “take care of him.”

She kissed the bruise on his collar bone and worked her way down past his sore ribs and hip bones. He wasn’t kidding when he told her just about every inch of his body had been bruised or scraped in one way or another.

Bianca glanced down at the one part of his body that seemed to be in perfect working order, erect and ready to go, then kissed it as Gio’s body went taut. She looked up at him staring at her. “Relax,” she ordered with a smile.

With their eyes still locked she began licking the shaft. Trying very hard to not make it obvious this was her first time doing this ever, she continued to keep the eye contact going. Bianca had read enough steamy romance novels and how-to articles in women’s magazines. She was pretty sure she could wing it. She just hadn’t expected him to be so big. In the van it’d been too dark to really appreciate it at all but now she’d appreciate every inch.

Gio’s body shifted slightly carnal moans escaping him as she continued to lick up and down and then took him in completely. His hips moved with her and she moved up and down his length, amazed at how much she was enjoying doing this to him.

Then she swiped her tongue on the salty tip like a windshield wiper over and over just like it said in Cosmo and was thrilled at his reaction. This really worked. His entire body arched and she heard him gasp. “Baby, that’s it,” he urged. “I think I need to take over before it’s too late.”

“Oh no, you don’t.” She smiled, feeling sexier than she’d ever felt in her life. She was enjoying being in charge. She pointed at his wallet on the nightstand. “Condom,” she said simply and he complied immediately, even opened the packet and pulled it out before handing it to her.

This would be a first also. She’d never actually put one of these things on anyone. Smiling because she knew this was just one of the many firsts to come with Gio she slowly and very carefully rolled it on. “No over exerting yourself, remember?” She sunk her teeth into her bottom lip as their eyes met and she was suddenly locked into those striking green eyes. “You ready?”

He nodded his heavy lashes blinking over his eyes almost in slow motion. Bianca climbed over him carefully, afraid to hurt him. She brought her hips down over him trembling as she slid onto him slowly, still locked in his eyes, until he was all the way in.

Gio held his hands out to her and she took them, not moving for a few seconds just enjoying the fullness she felt with him deep in her. Again, careful not to hurt him, she lifted herself up and began to ride him slowly, gently as he squeezed her hands.

Unable to help herself she picked up speed, the sensation building with every wet slide. “You sure you’re okay?” she asked through her teeth.

“God, yes!” he said bringing his hands around her waist and lifting her, slamming her back down on him even harder.

Now even he lifted himself with each thrust as she slammed back on to him again and again. Feeling her eyes roll back she ran both hands through her own hair and began to moan, knowing she’d be climaxing in a big way in just a few more seconds.
