Raising his head with wonder, he had seen how she seemed to glow with complete happiness, groaning as his mouth had
sought
her
s
, needing to kiss her, needing to ...he did not know what.  Dante Durant had felt complete shock at what had happened.  No woman had ever made him feel the way she just had, his eyes full of wonder as he had once more looked down at Samantha, sliding from her to pull her into his arms
.

 

“Are you OK
?
” he had whispered gently into her hair, kissing her head softly
.

 

“So much better than OK” had been her
response
, her voice full of warmth, as he had nodded against her
.

 

“Wow, Sam.......just wow” he had whispered huskily, Sam feeling the happiness filling her, knowing that she had not disappointed him.

 

With a gasp she had remembered the others, groaning softly.

 

“Kate and Bella will be worried” she had mumbled turning to face him, seeing the look on his face.

 

“Stay the night.......with me” he had whispered
seductively;
as she had felt the sensations once more rise within her as his fingers had gently trailed down her arm.  With eyes so unsure he had watched as she had fought with her need to be there and her loyalty to her friends, seeing finally the small smile light her lips, a small nod seeing her agree.  Reaching out she had lifted the phone on his bedside table, quickly calling
Bella’s
mobile number.  There had been relief on the other girls voice as she had heard her friend
.

 

“Geez Sam we were wondering
wither
we should call out the guards or something” Bella never having known Sam to stay out later than she had agreed.  Sam had apologized, her voice full of embarrassment as with a nervous cough she had told Bella that she was planning on staying over at
Dante’s
.  She could sense the surprise on the other end of the line before hearing muffled sounds, with Kate suddenly appearing on the line
.

 

“Samantha...are you OK
?
.....if there is a problem, just say Tuesday if there is...we can have the police right up there”
.

 

Sam had stifled the laugh at the serious concern in her
friend’s
voice, and the assumption that she had met with foul play
.

 

“Kate
...
honest
I’m
fine” she had chuckled
.

 

“I just ....want to stay here tonight...that’s all”
.

 

Hearing the relief from the other side, she had heard more muffled noises as Kate had continued, her voice full of innuendo and laughter
.

 

“Really!!...
well just remember lover girl, that Bella and I want details” Sam flicking her eyes over to Dante who was watching her as she had laughed back, wishing the two a good night.

 

She had heard the rumble of his laugh
.

 

“I am guessing that there are going to be questions asked” feeling as his hand had moved her back down onto the bed as she had nodded laughing back
.

 

“In that case Miss Trey” he had muttered sexily
.

 

“We had better make sure that the answers are worth hearing” his mouth once more covering hers.

 

That night Dante had taught Sam how to please him, just as he had her.  He had found her to be an enthusiastic pupil and a quick learner, finding himself never tiring of her body.  Hours later, the two had finally fallen into an exhausted sleep, Sam so happy as his arms had wrapped around her shoulders, her head dropping onto his chest, the sound of his heart the last memory she had before sleep had taken her.

 

Waking up in the morning, Sam had stretched
languorously
, feeling as her muscles had complained, smiling at the memory of the previous evening as her eyes had fluttered open.  Frowning she had sat quickly upright finding herself alone pulling the sheet around her as she had looked around with panic for any sign of Dante.  Just at that moment the door had opened, the man on her mind moving back into his bedroom wearing jeans and a casual shirt unbuttoned to show off his hard belly, Sam feeling the groan of want rising within her as she had remembered running her tongue there feeling as her body had reacted just to the sight of him.  In his hands he held a tray with coffee and what looked like toast, Samantha smiling widely at him.

 

Dante had stopped as he had entered, his eyes drinking in the woman before him.  She sat in the middle of the bed, her knees drawn up before her, the sheet pulled around her wonderful body as her hair hung around her like a glossy curtain.

 

“Oh My God....you are beautiful” he had said, seeing as she had blushed shyly at him, that large smile on her face sending strange sensations throughout him.  Once more moving forward Dante had placed the tray on the bed reaching over to kiss her, a long lingering kiss their eyes locking
.

 

“Good morning” she had whispered sensually against his mouth, as he had felt the overpowering desire to pull her back down onto the bed, as she had looked over to where the tray sat
.

 

“You cooked” she had grinned, her voice teasing, as he had pulled back to offer her one of the mugs of coffee
.

 

“Yes, be very honoured” he had chuckled, admiring her again.

 

“I did not know if you took milk or sugar” he had said gently pointing to the jugs on the tray, Sam shaking her head
.

 

“No this is fine” the sudden realisation hitting her that they knew nothing about each other.  That after knowing this man only 3 days she had jumped into bed with him, feeling as her cheeks had become warm from this knowledge.

 

“What are you thinking
?
” his soft voice had interrupted her thoughts, as he had noticed the way she had blushed
.

 

“I guess
I
just
realised
that we don’t know anything about each other” she had stuttered, wondering what he thought of her, what he thought of a woman who jumped into bed with a man so quickly, knowing that he had expected to take her home the previous evening, not drinking with her.

 

“Do you regret what happened?” he had asked, seeing as her eyes had flown to his
.

 

“No...I just don’t want you to think....”her voice had disappeared as he had groaned softly
.

 

“I did not expect it Sam, but God I wanted you just as badly.  I just didn’t want to push you”. 

 

He had moved closer to her
.

 

“What happened between us was I really feel meant to be”
.

 

His hands had lifted to tilt her chin to look up at him
.

 

“Do not ever regret what happened and never feel that I have anything other than the highest respect for you”, feeling so strange once more at the glow that had lit her eyes, those beautiful green eyes.

 

The  two had sat back together eating their breakfast, as Samantha had looked at surprise at the time – six in the morning, realising that the two of them had had little sleep, wondering why they were up so early.

 

Chuckling Dante had grinned wickedly at her
.

 

“Because, I have to leave by 8
and I wanted to make sure you got home first safe and sound, and.......” his eyes had let the rest of that sentence finish, as he had lifted the tray depositing it off the bed
.

 

Sam had wrapped her arms around his neck looking deeply into his eyes
.

 

“mmmm ... you should have skipped breakfast then” she had murmured sensually, hearing his low throaty laugh as he had pushed her back onto the mattress, the two of them once more losing themselves in the need for the other. 

 

As they had lain once more in each
other’s
arms, both fighting for breath, something he had said had bubbled to the surface of her brain.  Frowning slightly she had looked at him
.

 

“Where are you going?” seeing as his face had looked down on hers apologetically
.

 

“I have to go back to the mainland.  Truth is Sam, I really should not have returned
...
but I wanted to see you”
.

 

“Oh” had been all she had been able to say, the sinking sensation filling her that this was his way of saying goodbye, that despite his words, he could not wait to be rid of her.

 

“I
...
I understand” she had said sadly, “and like I said last night........I knew what
I
was getting into
.

 

Seeing the expression on her face, he had rolled over, once more
lying
over her, his hand tracing the curve of her mouth
.

 

“No, it is nothing like that.  It is unfortunate that our meeting coincided with a work emergency, but I will return in a few days”
.

 

Sam had nodded
.

 

“It ...
its
fine Dante, please really I understand” thinking him even sweeter for trying to let her down so gently
.

 

With a small groan of frustration, he had looked deeply into her eyes
.

 

“You are not listening Samantha Trey”, giving a large grin
.

 

“The ONLY reason I am returning in a couple of days is to see you”
.

 

At this she had smiled widely, knowing him to be speaking the truth, her heart beating so fast in her breast that she was sure that he would hear it
.

 


And
now my darling” he had said, the words filling her with happiness “we should get ready”
.

 

As Sam had slipped silently into the villa, she had heard the sound of two sets of footsteps on the roof above, both running from their rooms down the stairs
.

 

“OK spill” Kate had cried being the first to reach her, Bella breathlessly nodding behind her
.

 


All
of it!”

 

Sam had lau
ghed, her eyes sparkling as the other girls
had not allowed her to go up to her room
.

 

“But I only had 3 hours sleep” she had wailed, seeing as the other two had gasped, Kate declaring how lucky she was, as they had dragged her over to the couch.
