Michael was taken aback by the softness of her lips against his. A shiver ran through him, as if he were cold and only she could provide the warmth he needed. He didn’t know what to make of it.
But the moment she leaned into him, he instinctively wrapped an arm around her, pulling her closer. She fit against him perfectly. The softness of her body against his was intoxicating, and he craved more.
He gently coaxed her lips open with his tongue, slipping inside her mouth. She gasped slightly, but welcomed him in. The taste of the wine she’d been drinking and the faint hint of chocolate truffles she’d nibbled on lingered on her tongue.
He was losing his mind, aching to slide his hand under her dress and explore every inch of her. But he had to keep himself in check. They were at a work party, and she was his nanny!
Anelise was pressed against his firm body, feeling the strength in his arms as he held her. She felt safe and complete for the first time, and she didn’t want that feeling to end. She was losing herself in him,
and she didn’t mind it one bit.
She tasted the whiskey on his breath, a flavor that mingled perfectly with the caramel ice cream he’d had earlier. She was ready to pull him into a corner and let him have his way with her when they were interrupted by a loud throat clearing.
They broke apart, panting, and turned to see Craig standing there, smirking, hands in his pockets. “Sorry to interrupt, but Howard wanted another few minutes before he let us go for the night.”
Michael nodded. “We’ll be right there.”
Craig grinned and went back inside, leaving them alone by the flowers.
Michael looked at her, both of them still breathing heavily and flushed. He desperately wanted her to be okay with what had just happened and hoped to continue where they left off back at the hotel, but he didn’t know how to bring it up.
“I, um…wow…” He stumbled over his words.
“Yeah,” Anelise agreed, unable to say anything more.
“Um…let’s…um…get back in and see what Howard wants, then we can head back, okay?” he
suggested.
She couldn’t find the words to respond, so she simply nodded. He took her hand, kissed it, and led her back inside where their group was gathering. Seeing how flushed she was, Lenore gave Anelise a wide grin and a wink, making her blush even more.
**You all have been working so hard since you got here, so I want to give you some time off. Starting
Friday at three o’clock, you are not to touch any work until Monday morning. Now, go enjoy the rest of the night!” Howard announced.

The group let out a small cheer of thanks and hurrays at the great news. Michael grinned at Anclise, who smiled back, wondering what he was thinking.
It was Wednesday night, and they had plenty of time to spend with Ollie. She was thinking of places they could explore when he leaned in and asked if she was ready to leave. She nodded and quickly excused herself to the bathroom before they left.
“What the hell did I walk in on out there?” Craig demanded as he watched Anelise leave.
“I couldn’t hold back anymore. You saw the dress. You saw the workout outfit. I only have so much willpower. And if I’m going to hell, then I might as well enjoy myself before I get there!” Michael said.
“Just remember that she’s the daughter of your neighbor and will live in Nashville until at least December,” Craig reminded him.
“I know, but I seriously doubt anything will happen when we get back. But damn, does she have the softest lips ever!” Michael added.
Craig knew he was a lost cause at that moment and braced himself for the fallout, which would almost certainly happen when they returned to the US.
He sighed to himself, hoping he wouldn’t have to pick his best friend up off the floor like he did with Ollie’s mother when they returned to Chicago.
Before Craig could say anything else, Anelise came back, and Michael took her hand as they went to the front to hail a taxi back to the hotel, leaving Craig and Ken behind. They just looked at each other and shrugged.
Michael pulled Anelise close to him as they sat in the taxi, running his fingers over her face, taking in her features. “How are you so beautiful?”
Anelise blushed. “I really don’t think that’s how I’ve ever been described before!”
“Then the people you hang around with are either blind or stupid!” He whispered, then leaned in and kissed her again, deepening it quickly. They were both lost in each other and didn’t come up for air until they reached the hotel.
Michael adjusted himself before he got out, not wanting to show the world how turned on he was by the woman next to him. He paid the driver, and they walked arm in arm to the elevator.
They kissed tenderly as they rode up to their floor. They walked off together and shared one more kiss at UNLIMITED the door before he opened it to find Sasha reading a book.
She jumped up to greet them, saying how wonderful Ollie had been. Anelise went to check on Ollie as Michael paid Sasha. She assured Michael that she was fine taking a taxi home, just as her mom had suggested at dessert.

He watched her get on the elevator, and she waved as the doors closed. Michael went back inside the room and found Anelise standing by the hallway, biting her lip again.
He walked up to her and put a hand on her hip, rubbing gently. “What should we do now?”
Michael was giving her an out, not wanting to pressure her into anything she didn’t want. Anelise looked up at him, her chest tightening with desire. She didn’t know what to do next.
“How about we continue with the kissing we started in the taxi?” she suggested shyly.
He wasted no time and pressed his lips to hers. She wrapped her arms around him, finally feeling the strength of his body. Anelise gasped slightly when Michael moved his lips down her jawline and neck, nibbling and sucking as he went.
She’d never had a man do this to her before, and it was an incredible feeling, sending a direct line of sensation to her core. She felt a wetness start in her lace underwear and was slightly embarrassed by it.
Michael felt her fingers run through his hair, a tingle following wherever she touched his skin. He took a deep breath, intoxicated by the scent of her perfume and soap. He wanted to be surrounded by it all the
time.
As his hands roamed her body, they finally discovered the softness of her breasts. He gently massaged them through her dress, feeling her nipples harden in response. She squeezed his ass in return, and he couldn’t help but grin against her skin.
He lifted his lips from her, smiling as he took her hands and guided her towards his bedroom. He shrugged off his coat and loosened his tie, tossing it onto a chair. Anelise slipped off her heels, making
her a bit shorter than him now.
He drew her close again, their lips meeting in a heated kiss. Gently, he guided her onto the bed, their bodies sinking into the silky comforter.
His hand traveled up her leg, finally slipping under her dress to feel her soft, smooth skin. Her breath hitched as his hand moved higher, up her warm inner thighs. The sound shot straight to his already rock-
hard cock.
Taking a chance, Michael kissed her neck again, whispering into her skin, “Ani, I want you so bad.”
“I want you too!”
“It’s been a while for me, Ani…” he admitted, his voice cautious.
UNLIMITED She heard his words and whispered back, “I’ve never done it before…”
“His hormone–fueled brain took a moment to process her words. When they finally registered, he
stopped and looked at her, his eyes wide. “Are you serious?”

Anelise felt him stiffen and pull away to look at her. She gave a small nod. “Yes… I’m a virgin.”
Michael sat up, his eyes wide. “How is that even possible? You’re so beautiful and sexy. There must be guys lining up for you!”
She propped herself up on her elbows and decided to be honest. “No, there aren’t. I’m really shy and I’ve lost a lot of weight in the past year and a half. I’ve kissed guys, but that’s about it.”
He was speechless, and she was worried he was having second thoughts. She bit her lip, trying to figure out how to gracefully retreat to her room. He finally spoke, “Were you really going to sleep with me
now?”
She looked at him and nodded. “Yes. I can’t think of a better man to be my first. You’re a great man,
Michael.”
His shock was evident, but he was also touched. “Ani, I’m honored that you want me to be your first,
but ”
“But you don’t want me. I understand. I’ll just go back to my room, and we can pretend this never happened.”
“What? No! That’s not what I meant, Ani!” he said, stopping her from getting up. “I want you! I’ve wanted you since I met you at the airport! Look!”
He took her hand and placed it on his rock–hard bulge, hissing slightly at the pressure. She looked back
at him, “You want me?”
“So much, Ani! But your first time should be special, not rushed after a dinner party,” he insisted,‘ kissing her again, then pulling back. “Will you let me make it special for you?”
She was moved by his desire to make it special for her, and she nodded. He smiled, kissed her again, and then stood up, pulling her up with him.
He turned her around, slowly unzipped her dress, and let it slide off her body, revealing her curvy and supple body to him.
He kissed her shoulders as he ran his hands over her hips, stomach, and breasts, trying to memorize every inch of her. He turned her around and took in a sharp breath, seeing her body in the soft glow of the bedside lamp.
UNLIMITED “You’re breathtaking, Ani!” he whispered in awe.
She blushed but didn’t say anything as he gently kissed his way across her collarbones and the top of the lace on her bra. She had soft full breasts, and he was aching to taste the pebbled nipples that were pushing against the lace of her bra.
