HELLO BEAUTIFUL

Chapter 8

The lunch passed dissolute. They talked about music, extreme sports, Luna’s job, his movies and their families. When they were done they knew a little bit more about each other.

They gathered the dishes and put them into the dishwasher, after that they headed to the terrace and sat. Minute after minute it was more difficult for them to have a normal conversation. The sexual tension between them had grown gradually and finally it was time to make a decision.

“It’s an amazing afternoon.” Luna said breathing deeply, trying to capture the essence of the garden as she stood and headed to the stairs beside the pool. Then, she sat there.

“You are …” Vin started, but he cut himself off. He let out a deep sigh. Game over, babe, he thought. He stood and headed to her side.

Before she realized what was happening, two big arms encircled her body from behind. Vin crouched behind Luna and his hands came to rest on her thighs gently.

Luna couldn’t help the strong shudder that crossed her spine as soon as she noticed his hands on her. She shut her eyes for a second, swallowing hard.

Vin bent his head and pressed his lips to her ear. “You’re amazing, Luna.” He murmured as he nibbled her earlobe.

Luna bit her lower lip as a small moan escaped her lips.

Vin grinned against her skin. “More than anything I want you to stay here.” He added, untying her ponytail, stroking her hair. After a few seconds he buried his face in it and deeply inhaled her fragrance of her hair. “How much time are we gonna spend pretending we don’t feel nothing for each other, Luna?” Vin asked her, brushing his lips against her shoulder.

Luna didn’t answer. She didn’t know what to say, so she let her acts talk in her place. Luna tilted her head to one side, giving him more access. Vin smiled and nipped her skin gently. In response she shivered as she closed her eyes, enjoying the sensations that his lips were spreading along her body.

Oh, sugar, stop pretending. You like him and he likes you, Luna. She scolded herself. After a few minutes she finally found her voice.

“Thanks for lunch, Vin.” Luna murmured.

“My pleasure, Luna.” Vin said in his deep, sexy voice.

No doubts now, he thought with a hint of fear.

Vin wasn’t sure if Luna was going to run away any minute.

Suddenly Luna panicked and felt her body’s muscles tense all at once and tried to slip away. He frowned and hugged her. Then he held her tight and felt how she tensed even more.

“Don’t be afraid of me.” He murmured gently as his hands were caressing her thighs up and down with a smooth rhythm. “Don’t run Luna, just… relax.” Vin added in a deep gentle voice. As soon as Luna heard his deep voice she relaxed in his arms. “That’s it…” He said, kissing softly her neck.

Luna felt his warm breath against her neck. Ok, Luna. Here we go again. Tomorrow you’ll wake up alone in your room at the hotel, but now you are here. Right here and now, you, and that’s something no one can take from you, sugar. She said as a new shiver crossed through her body.

Vin noticed and frowned. “Are you cold?” He asked, slightly concerned. Luna didn’t answer him. “Luna?” He asked his voice rising slightly. It seemed to him that she was, for a second, far from here.

Luna was trying her best to control the shudders and at the same time trying to remember how to speak. After a few seconds she could finally talk.

“What?” She asked almost in a whisper. Then she opened her eyes and found Vin crouched in front of her, staring at her eyes smiling.

Luna blushed in a second and started to chew her bottom lip. Vin knit a brow. Luna took a deep breath, sighing.

“No…. I’m not cold. In fact I’m hot.” Luna said flushing even more.

“Yeah, you sure as hell are.” Vin teased her as he bent his head, closing the distance between their lips.

A slight touch and Luna felt all her body’s soft hair bristle at once. His lips were sensual and smooth. Vin deepened the kiss and parted her lips with his, sliding his tongue inside her mouth, exploring and tasting.

Oh, he knows how to kiss, sugar, Luna thought.

A few seconds later her own tongue slid into his mouth. Time was passing and they were lost in that first kiss. A moment later their tongues were fighting for supremacy. He stroked her hips and the kiss turned wild. When they both parted their lips they were gasping.

“Let’s go inside. You haven’t seen the second floor yet.” Vin said as he got to his feet, offering her his hand.

Luna took it as she stood, following him inside the house.

While they were heading upstairs, she was looking down all the time. All of sudden, Luna wasn’t sure if this had been a good idea at all.

She always hated these kinds of encounters. She never felt comfortable enough with one night stand. Luna couldn’t help it but after having sex with some guy who wasn’t really interested in her beyond a few hours, she always felt like a slut.

Luna felt used and that feeling always led her to feel guilty about her behavior; like she was disgusting. Of course, Luna wasn’t a girl, she was a woman in her mid thirties, but she had received a strong puritan education on the part of her mother.

Suddenly Luna could feel his eyes piercing her and raised her head to meet them. Vin noticed her doubts and stopped dead in his tracks. He didn’t want to make her do something she would end up regretting in a few hours.

Luna shook her head trying to get rid of those ideas that had been torturing her almost all of her life. Vin moved ahead of her and opened a door.

“After you, babydoll.” He said as he watched her, concerned.

It seemed as if it was too late and she would start to regret everything, even though it had been just lunch and a kiss.

Vin didn’t know the reason why but he wanted to make her feel as comfortable as possible. This woman in front of him had something in her eyes that made him feel the urge to please her. But he would be damned if he had a fucking clue about why.

“Sure, Vin. So you can take a good look at my killer ass, huh?” Luna teased him, pulling him out of his own thoughts. Her voice sounded with a hint of fear and Vin noticed.

“Oh, shit. You’re not only intelligent and sexy as hell. Now you’re a mind reader also, babydoll?” He teased her, trying to ease the tension between them but it wasn’t working. So Vin went serious in a heartbeat and locked eyes with her. “Are you sure you want to be here with me, Luna?” Vin asked concerned.

Luna laughed and entered his bedroom. She wasn’t sure anymore, but what the hell? She would deal with her conscience later.

Vin let out the air he hadn’t realized he had been holding and followed her, closing and locking the door behind him.

He wasn’t expecting someone to come. Valentino knew better than to come back today. They had been friends since forever and he knew too well what Vin’s plans were going to be for the rest of the day concerning Luna.

They both had agreed that Vin would phone him when he was done with her, so that Valentino could drive Luna back to her hotel. That had been the way they had done it in the past with other girls. But Luna wasn’t just another girl and Vin was starting to suspect that she wasn’t going anywhere in more than just a few hours.

The bedroom was really big. The main furniture was the bed. French doors led to the big terrace Luna had seen earlier. There was a bathroom with a Jacuzzi in it as well.

Luna sighed as she headed directly to the bed and took a seat on it. She swallowed hard and lifted her head to look at Vin.

He was just there looking at her like he was waiting for some kind of permission on her part to move forward. Luna frowned slightly, locking eyes with him. After a moment, she grinned wickedly, beckoning to him. Vin sighed relieved and closed the distance between them, pulling off his tee-shirt.

As soon as Vin’s bare chest appeared in front of Luna’s eyes, she gasped. Oh, Luna. Now that’s a body, sugar, she told herself silently. Her eyes widened as her heart started to race inside her chest. Come on, Luna. Don’t you dare say that you’ve seen someone like him before, woman.

Luna grabbed the hem of her top and she was going to pull it off, when he spoke.

“Don’t.” Vin whispered huskily. “Let me do that, Luna.” Suddenly, his heart jumped inside his chest and he frowned.

Come on, Diesel. You’ve been here before, man. It’s not like you don’t know what to do with a woman, do you? He heard his own voice scolding him.

In spite of his words, Vin didn’t move a muscle, he just stood there, right in front of her staring down at her eyes. He thought if he should take the final step or just ask her to leave his house right now.

Vin then recalled the words of Valentino. “…she means trouble…” his mind echoed faintly.

Luna narrowed her eyes and after a moment she held his gaze puzzled. Vin shook his head and slowly a small grin tugged the corner of his lips. He then kneeled in front of her and bent his head, pressing his forehead against her chest, closing his eyes.

In response, Luna frowned deeply, shivering. She wasn’t sure what was happening there. Why Vin wasn’t all over her already?

After a moment of hesitation, Luna lifted a hand, stroking his head gently. Almost immediately, the butterflies started to flutter inside her stomach.

“Vin?” Luna said softly. In response, he didn’t move or said a word. He just encircled her waist with his massive arms. “Are… Are you ok?” She asked, not sure if she should speak or not. Vin nodded ‘yes’ against her chest.

“Just thinking.” He answered and his voice sounded strangely horse and deep, as if he was fighting a battle with himself.

“About?” Luna asked concerned.

“You.” And with that she gently lifted his head by his chin and locked eyes with him.

Time stopped around them. They were like that, staring at each other eyes. Without being aware of it, they started to breath in time with the other.

Her eyes flickered to his and Luna felt her heart starting to race again inside her chest. Funny that their hearts were beating in unison, even though neither of them were aware of that fact.

Luna understood that he was waiting for her to give him some kind of sign, so she obliged.

Now or never, Luna, she heard her voice.

Luna swallowed hard and slowly, she leaned in, kissing him. Her hands moving of their own accord, resting gently upon his shoulders.

The kiss deepened and a few second later their tongues were fighting for supremacy once more. When they parted lips, searching for air, both were panting again.

Vin pulled off her top, revealing her breasts and he stared at them as if he had never seen ones in all his life. They were exactly as he had been dreaming last night. Grinning he bent his head, capturing one nipple between his lips.

Luna gasped, arching her back to give him more access. Vin applied more pressure against it, nipping the soft skin gently. A small moan escaped Luna’s lips and she bit her bottom lip to prevent any other.

Vin continued sucking, licking and nibbling her breast, feeling the slight change in her breath every time he applied more pressure.

He let go of her, panting and pulled her to him, making her stand in front of his body. He encircled her waist, kissing her shoulders, her neck and finally captured her lips.

In his path he was leaving a trail of hot sensations with his delicious tongue. There wasn’t an urge to say anything at that exact moment.

Luna closed her eyes as he stroked his broad back with her hands first and her nails later, caressing his warm skin up and down, rhythmically. In response he moaned, closing his eyes.

After a few minutes, he let go of her and grabbing the waist of her jeans, he removed her belt, pulling them down and off.

Luna took off her tennis sneakers, They both chuckled at that and they continued kissing each other.

She then matched his daring and pulled his pants down and off, stroking his skin all the way down, stopping for a few seconds on his firm butt, squeezing gently.

He mimicked her previous movements with his shoes and both laughed hard for a moment.

Vin grabbed her ass, pulling her to him. Luna felt his erection pressed against her thighs under his boxers. She then pressed herself even harder as she thrust her thigh between his legs. They moaned at unison.

Vin picked her up and laid her gently onto the bed, landing softly on her, making sure to not set all his weight on her body. Vin tilted his head and captured her lips in a slow kiss. Luna surrendered under his kisses.

He grinned and started to travel down her torso, stroking her skin with his lips and tongue. Luna just concentrated on her ragged breathing.

When Vin reached her navel, he came to a stop and started to play with her abdominals muscles, enjoying how they flexed under his soft and gentle touch.

Luna moaned softly as she arched her back, giving him more access. Vin chuckled against her skin and continued his journey down. He then grabbed the hem of her turquoise panties and pulled them out of the way, throwing them behind him.

Luna gasped, locking eyes with him as a mischievous gaze flashed at him and her lips spread in a wicked grin.

In one fast move, Vin grabbed her ankles and dragged her body towards him, stopping when her knees reached the edge of the bed, grinning an evil smile. He kneeled in front of her and Luna spread her legs apart, inviting him to explore. And that was exactly what he did.
