Enough was enough.

Time to take control.

Nearly an hour after we should have bolted from the rehearsal dinner for my hotel, we were mulling around the main piazza, drinks in hand and making small talk, mostly about tomorrow’s wedding. Natalie was talking to Neo Grado, presumably about wine as they peered into their glasses. But not for long.

Natalie didn’t see me coming from behind until I’d already apologized to her companion and guided her by the elbow away from the conversion.

“Um, excuse me?”

“Mi Scusi,” I corrected. “When in Rome, and all.”

“Either way,” she said, looking over her shoulder though Neo had already moved on to a different conversation. “Did you want something?”

“Yes.” I took a step toward her and leaned into her ear, much as I had during dinner. “I want to peel that dress off, bury my head between your legs and make you come so hard every single fucking person in the hotel hears you scream my name.”

When I stood back and assessed, I silently gave myself a point. For a second, I thought she might argue, just for the sake of it, but instead, Natalie not so eloquently put her glass on the nearest table, took my hand and started walking.

“Aren’t you going to say goodbye? To the girls, at least?”

“Nope,” she said. “I’ll text them. Maybe.”

I tugged her hand. “Wrong way, sunshine.”

“Oh.”

“You’re walking at a pretty good clip considering those heels.”

“Yeah, I was told not to wear them. Cobblestone streets and all. But I can be stubborn.”

“I’m aware.”

“For someone who chose not to leave right from dinner, you seem awfully eager all of a sudden.”

She smiled. It was a secret smile, but I could decipher it easily.

“Competitive too,” I added.

“A little.”

Laughing, I pulled her down a side street. “This way.”

“Oops.”

Somehow, we made it to my hotel without me tearing her clothes off. Thankfully, the back stairwell was empty at this time of night. When the door closed behind us, I reached for her, pulling Natalie into me.

No words were exchanged.

Our mouths crashed together, tongues tangling as I finally gave in to the urge I’d had all night to inch my hand higher than the hem of her dress. I took the briefest of seconds to relish the feel of her inner thigh, and with Natalie pinned to the wall of the stairwell, I plunged two fingers into her, knowing she would be wet for me already.

And she was. So fucking wet.

“All night,” I murmured, her moans only encouraging me. If someone came in now, we were well and truly caught. No way I’d give a shit enough to stop. “All night I’ve wanted to do this.”

“Jax.” The way she looked up at me managed to somehow make me even harder than I was already. “Oh my god, please. Do. Not. Stop.”

“Stop?” I used my thumb then too, rubbing circles around her clit as my fingers worked Natalie until her hips gyrated with the rhythm I’d set. “I have no intention of stopping. Not at the moment, not all fucking night. I just hope you can keep your head up tomorrow for the wedding because I don’t have sleep on the agenda in my head.”

“I can’t.” She gripped the shoulders of my jacket. “Jax,” she panted.
