Lauren couldn't help but admire the view as they drove along the shore side to Giorgio's villa she  was excited and a little peeved that she got pulled into Robert's girl problem.  That problem sat across from her with her dark eyes shooting daggers at her. While Giorgio talked on his cell. She sat beside Robert who held tightly to her hand refusing to relinquish it as their entwined fingers rested on his muscular thigh. She looked over at him his dark glasses where in place he was leaning back as if sleep but she knew was awake because of the circular motion that his finger was making in her palm. It was the simplest little caress and it was an erotic turn on. "Robert stop that."  Lauren tugged at her hand. "What's wrong baby girl."

"You know exactly what's wrong." 

"What?" He asked innocently.."

"That thing you're doing with your finger."  
" Would you rather me put some place else."

"I would rather you let go of my hand.."

"I like holding your hand .."

"You know I had a reservation at the Ritz."

"And I told you , I wasn't letting you run around Italy and especially Sicily alone. End of conversation."

"You are not my boss Roberto."

"You think not Lauren?" Lauren was getting ready to reply when Juliana interrupted.

"Roberto who is this girl and why are you ignoring me for this?" Lauren Italian wasn't great yet she knew when she was being insulted and Juliana had did just that. She was about to reply when Robert began to answer. "Lauren is my lover and my friend and you will not disrespect her again."Lauren gave her triumphant smile and tuned  placing her free hand on his she than removed his glasses.  Looking into his baby blues wanting to see his reaction. She gave him a  very passionate kiss. " Thank you." ..." And the result was just what she wanted.  He eyes seemed to darken with the heat of the kiss she felt as if her own tempeture went up a couple notches. And before she could say another word his lips were on her's again he had finally let go of her hand and had her face cradle . The other two occupants forgotten as she returned his kiss.

"We will be at the villa soon you two...cut it out..you have my windows fogging up."

" Humm, yes I would rather not be an observer of that." Juliana put in.  Giving them both an angry look.

Lauren couldn't help but laugh to ease her rattled nerves. What the hell had she been thinking kissing Robert like that and further more what was he thinking returning the kiss. And to top it off he had her hand again in his doing that circle thing.

The villa was located seaside.  The beach was private and view was spectacular ..she couldn't wait to dip her toes in the blue water.

"I take it you two will want to get some rest before dinner. Robert your room is ready. You are sharing?"

"No." 

"Yes." They looked at each other.

"So what shall it be?" Giorgio asked looking from one to the other.

"Yes lovers usually share a room." Julian laughed. "Or is this a rouse?"

"Mind your business, Juliana. Come on Lauren follow me." Lauren followed obediently not really liking the idea of  share a room with robert with both there hormones raging like horny teenagers. He held the door to his room as she entered.  It was like the of her apartment. A full living room with a huge king size bed covered in black satin sheets...fire place but the best part was the spectacular view of the ocean and the beach below...

"You like the view ?"

"I love the view why did you ever come back to Philadelphia..When you had this."

She noticed a sad look briefly cross his face. "Long story." Lauren watched him approach only inches away she knew this was dangerous territory they were entering into. "I' m sorry for being over bearing and making you come with me." He brushed a loose strain of hair behind her ear.

"Oh no forget it this makes up for you being a jerk."

"Really?"

"Really Deluca and that bed is big enough for both of use to have a side."

"Do you think we can really lay in that be on opposite sides without touching?"

She watched as he moved in closer until his lips were on hers and she liked it and  wanted more. Wrapping her arms around his neck. He lifted her off her feet and walked toward the bed. Lauren couldn't find the strength to protest. She wanted him as he laid her down and then followed.

The buzz of her cell phone an unwanted  interruption...as he trailed kisses down her neck. "Don't answer." He whispered against her neck.

"It's my dad, I have to  he'll be worried." As he rolled over on to his back she got up answering her cell. "Hey daddy."

"Hey baby girl you at grand mom's yet."

"No I had a change in plans."

"What kind of change Lauren. I don't want you wandering around Sicily by yourself it's not safe." Lauren looked at Robert he was shaking his head no.

"Actually daddy I'm with Robert at his uncle's villa."

"Lauren what the hell are you doing with Robert ..What's going on?"

"We flew down together."

"Lauren where's that bastard at?"

"Right here."

"Let me talk to him."

  "No I don't want to talk... Hello Mr Rizzoli."

"What the fuck is you intentions with my daughter Deluca."

"I have no intentions.." He lied.

"You better keep your fucking hands off her. Don't even think about it. What city?"

"Palmero"

"Don't make me call my brothers and what are the sleeping arrangements?" Robert was leaving that one alone he handed the phone back after the threat.

"Where are you now Lauren."

"In Robert's room ..."

That was a slip ...Robert looked at her like she had totally lost her mind.

Lauren held the phone from her ear because her father was cursing so loud..it felt like it would bust her ear drum.

"Daddy I'm twenty eight..please...let me speak to mom." Lauren heard her mother take the phone

"So  your with Robert? Is this serious?"

"No.."

"Your father is here yelling like crazy..You two are in his room right? Shut up!"

"Mom it's not what you think."

"Lauren dear, a woman does not go to a man's room to talk..you are there for a purpose whether you know it or not...Robert is attractive... and he has a thing for you so just be careful ..I handle your dad. Now let me speak to Robert."

Lauren handed Robert the phone.."Hi Mrs Rizzoli."

"Don't you play with my daughter's heart or I will send my sons to beat the shit out of that pretty face. Capisce."

"Totally understood."

"Now make sure to come for dinner when you two get back. Now give Lauren the phone."

"Yes Mrs. Rizzoli ." He handed Lauren the phone.

"Yes I promise mom...good bye." Robert watched as Lauren broke into laughter.

"What's so funny."

"She said remember to use protection."
