Free The Billionaire's Second-Chance Bride (The Romero Brothers, #1) by Shadonna Richards

her emotions. Like some sort of sedative that mellowed her mood and relaxed her at the same time. She glanced at his softly defined lips. What would they feel like on hers? As if he could hear her, Antonio escorted her to the chairlift, but before he got on, he glanced into her eyes.
    Her legs weakened.
    Please kiss me.
    Just then, the image of him touching her, caressing her, making love to her, engulfed her mind. God, she really needed to get a life. She really needed not to be celibate right now. How long had it been since she’d been intimate? Way, way, way too long.
    Antonio’s cell phone buzzed and shattered the moment. He paused. She thought she heard him curse under his breath. He turned away to answer. It had a distinctive ring so it must have been somebody important.
    “Yes, Grandfather. You have a good night, too.”
    “Sorry, I wasn’t listening, but that was so...sweet.” There. She said it.
    “You’re really something else, you know that?” he said, guiding her to the chairlift.
    “Why do you say that?”
    “You’re sentimental, for one thing.”
    “Thank—" Lucy stopped herself and watched as Antonio’s lips curled into a smile.
    The scenic chairlift ride was extraordinary. She grabbed on to Antonio’s arm as he casually leaned back in the luxury seat of the lift gliding all the way down at a swift pace. Lucy was breathing hard, catching her breath but enjoying the sights. How could Antonio be so calm when dangling in the air from a thin cable?
    She gripped his biceps and could feel the steel hardness of his muscles. Good God! This man was built solid like a sculpture. Oh, my. What could he be like in bed?
    “Are you going to be okay, Miss Shillerton?” Antonio turned to her, grinning.
    She playfully rolled her eyes. “I’m afraid of heights.”
    The grin vanished. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
    “No. It’s okay. I’m...I’m with you so...”
    He held on to her. “We’ll be down soon.”
    Lucy leaned into Antonio. She really did enjoy the scenery, it was just the thought of the cables holding them up so high off the ground worked on her nerves. They must have been at about two-thousand feet above sea level, she guessed. Of course, who cared about sea level? To Lucy it looked like a million mile plummet to earth!
    Antonio turned to Lucy and lifted her chin up so that their gaze met. Lucy looked into Antonio’s dark, sexy eyes and she felt oddly protected. He gave her the look that he would not let anything happen to her. But there was also something else in his eyes. Oh, those beautiful dark eyes framed by long, thick lashes.
    Then as if time had stopped, he leaned down and pressed his soft lips to hers. Lucy felt electricity pulse delightfully chaotically through her blood. He slowly slid his tongue inside her parted lips and twirled and sucked on her until she felt heated between her thighs.
    Holy crap!
    Lucy and Antonio were locked into the hottest, most passionate kiss she’d ever experienced in her life. He held her closely and sucked on her lips and pleasured them in a way she never imagined.
    This. Man. Can. Kiss!
    She didn’t know where she was she was so lost in the moment. She couldn’t care less if she were dangling from the Empire State Building in New York or the CN Tower in the downtown Toronto core. Her mind buzzed, her body convulsed.
    What a kiss!
    Antonio’s lips tasted as sweet as they looked. His lips tasted of savory wine and were divinely intoxicating. Heat coursed through Lucy’s blood. Her blood pumped fast and hard, and she didn’t know whether she was coming or going.  She was in a trance. When he licked her lips and pulled away from her, she was still buzzed, dazzled, discombobulated. Her lips tingled from his soft, intimate touch. Her body reacted like crazy. Her nipples were hard as if she was in the Arctic and her inner thighs pulsed and pounded from want.
    Oh, God!
    Oh, God!
    Antonio’s lips. His kiss.
    Lucy was breathless, she was dazed and
