Rhaena’s POV

"Alessio—"

"I mean it, Rhaena," he said, and his voice had taken on that tone that brooked no argument. "We're going to the cliff. All three of us. And you're going to see one of the most beautiful views in Tuscany. You're not going to hide up here in your room all day because you were jealous of my gay best friend."

"I told you, I wasn't—"

He pressed his finger gently against my lips, cutting off my protest. "Get dressed," he repeated. "Comfortable clothes, good shoes for hiking.

    Rhaena’s POV"Fuck," he'd groaned. "Did you just come from sucking my cock?"I'd been too overwhelmed to answer, but he'd pulled me up, lifted me easily, and laid me out on the bed like I was something precious.And then he'd worshipped my body.My hand moved without conscious thought, sliding down my stomach as I remembered. As the memories played behind my closed eyelids like a film I couldn't stop watching.I remembered how he'd kissed every inch of my skin. How his mouth had been everywhere - my neck, my breasts, my stomach, my thighs. How he'd taken his time, like he had all night to explore me, to learn what made me gasp and moan.I remembered how he'd spread my legs and settled between them, how his breath had been hot against my most sensitive flesh before his tongue had made that first devastating stroke.My fingers found my clit, rubbing in slow circles, mimicking what I remembered him doing with his tongue.He'd been so skilled, so focused. He'd made me come twice just with

    Rhaena’s POVThe silence that fell was heavy and loaded. I could feel him looking at me, but I kept my eyes anywhere else - on the steam rising from the hot tub, on the stars now clearly visible in the dark sky, on the villa in the distance."Rhaena," he said softly.I knew I should leave. Should say goodnight and go to my room and put physical distance between us. That would be the smart thing, the safe thing.I turned toward the villa, ready to do exactly that, but then I felt his hand catch mine gently."Wait," he said, and there was something in his voice that made me pause. "Stay for a bit? We could watch a movie or something. Just... talk."I turned to look at him. He was still in the hot tub, water droplets clinging to his shoulders and chest, his green eyes sincere and hopeful in the soft lighting.Every cell in my body was screaming at me to say yes. To stay. To spend more time with him. To see where this night might lead.But that was exactly why I needed to say no.Being ar

    Rhaena’s POVThe air seemed to leave my lungs. Time felt like it had stopped.He continued to stare into my eyes as he deliberately raised his glass to his lips and took a long sip of the tequila. His green eyes were intense, burning, full of meaning that I couldn't pretend to misunderstand.Lisa also drank, sighing. "Oh man, yeah. There was this one girl who was dating my friend. So off-limits. But God, I had such a crush on her."But I barely heard what Lisa was saying. All I could focus on was Alessio, still looking at me, waiting.My hand was shaking slightly as I raised my own glass. I stared back at him, and in that moment, I let him see the truth in my eyes. Let him see that yes, I understood what he was saying. Yes, I felt it too.I brought the glass to my lips and took a sip.The tequila burned, but not as much as the heat in Alessio's gaze."Ooh, Rhaena too?" Lisa said, thankfully still oblivious to the loaded moment happening right in front of her. "Who was it? Tell us the

    Rhaena’s POVHe was leaning back against the edge of the tub, his arms stretched out along the rim, completely at ease. The water came up to the middle of his chest, and I could see the play of muscles under his skin as he moved. Water droplets clung to his shoulders and collarbone, catching the soft lights.And he was looking right at me.Our eyes met and held, and suddenly it felt like all the air had been sucked out of the space. I couldn't look away, couldn't break the connection. His green eyes were intense, dark with something I didn't want to name but recognized anyway.Want. Desire. Heat.I felt my face flush and it had nothing to do with the temperature of the water."Right, Rhaena?" Lisa's voice broke through the moment.I blinked and turned to her, having absolutely no idea what she'd just said. "I'm sorry, what?""I was just saying that tomorrow we should go into town," Lisa repeated, apparently not noticing that I'd been completely zoned out staring at Alessio. "There's a

    Rhaena’s POVI changed quickly into the navy bikini, pulling on a white cover-up over it. I could hear the shower running in the bathroom - Lisa must have decided to rinse off after the hike.I looked at myself in the mirror. The bikini fit well, the navy color complementing my skin tone. The cover-up was sheer and flowy, barely concealing anything but providing some coverage at least.I looked nervous. My eyes were too wide, my cheeks too flushed. I looked like someone trying not to think about getting into a hot tub with a man she absolutely should not be attracted to."Get it together," I whispered to my reflection.The bathroom door opened and Lisa emerged, looking absolutely stunning in the red bikini. Of course she did - she was a professional model. The color looked incredible against her skin, and her pink hair was piled on top of her head in a messy bun."Ready?" she asked with a bright smile, completely oblivious to my internal turmoil."Ready," I said, forcing a smile in re

    Rhaena’s POVI was surprised. "There's a hot tub? I didn't know that.""You haven't explored the whole property yet," Alessio said with a smile. "There's a lot you haven't seen.""So we're doing this?" Lisa asked, already unbuckling her seatbelt. "Hot tub time?""I don't have a swimsuit with me," Lisa said, looking at me hopefully. "Any chance I could borrow one from you? We look about the same size.""Of course," I said, even though the idea of getting in a hot tub with Alessio after what had almost happened on the cliff made my stomach flip. "I have a couple extras.""Perfect!" Lisa clapped her hands together. "This is going to be amazing. Nothing better than a hot tub under the Tuscan stars."We all got out of the car and headed into the villa. Antonio appeared as if by magic, asking if we needed anything."We're good, Antonio," Alessio said. "Just going to use the hot tub for a bit.""Very good, sir. I'll make sure towels are set out by the pool. Will you be wanting anything else?
