“Dante,” she cried out suddenly, her body arching off the couch as an intense wave of pleasure washed over her.

“Fuck,” I choked out as her pussy clenched around my cock. Every part of me wanted to let go but I resisted the temptation; tonight was about Jade. For Jade.

I leaned down, capturing her lips with mine in a heated kiss while my fingers worked their way down to that sensitive bud nestled between her folds. With every thrust of my hips, I was met with the silky softness of her inner walls clamping down on me.

“Dante,” Jade gasped, her hands clawing at my back as another wave of pleasure washed over her.

“Again,” I commanded, my fingers circling her clit rhythmically as I continued to thrust into her.

With a cry, Jade arched her back, her body trembling as she climaxed for the second time. The tightening of her inner walls around my cock was too much. With a low growl, I let myself go, an intense orgasm ripping through me as I emptied myself inside her.

I collapsed on top of her, our heavy breathing filled the room, mingling with the faint scent of our lovemaking. For a moment, we stayed like that. Jade’s hand tenderly stroked my hair while I luxuriated in the warmth of her body beneath mine.

And for a second, I let myself believe everything was okay.

Chapter Fifteen: Dante

The soft lamplight from the corner of the room cast long, dancing shadows on the floor as I picked her up in my arms. Jade’s head rest against my chest, her eyes half-closed, a satisfied smile playing on her face.

“My hero,” she murmured, tracing a lazy finger along the curve of my collarbone. I chuckled softly at that, burying my face in her dark hair and breathing in the sweet scent of us.

In a few strides, we were in the bedroom. The bed was made with deep blue silk sheets that shimmered under the dim lighting. I set Jade down on the edge of the mattress, brushing a loose strand of hair out of her face before kissing her forehead tenderly.

“Sleep now,” I told her, my rough voice just above a whisper. She shook her head with a weak protest, curling her fingers around my wrist to prevent me from pulling away completely.

“You too,” she mumbled, her blue eyes blinking up at me sleepily. I didn’t have the heart to refuse her.

Stripping off the rest of my clothes quickly, I slid under the covers beside Jade. She nestled into my side immediately, her warm body pressing closer as she draped an arm across my chest. Her breath was even and slow against my skin as her eyelids fluttered closed.

Watching her, I couldn’t help but trace the curve of her cheek with my thumb. The slightest of smiles tugged at her lips as she stirred in her sleep, nuzzling closer to me. A surge of affection swept through me as I pulled her closer, careful not to wake her.

I’d never known a moment of peace quite like this. For once, the thought of the Moretti empire and all its darkness felt like a distant burden. Here, bathed in the soft glow of the lamp beside us, Jade in my arms...this was a different kind of world altogether.

A sigh escaped my lips as I leaned back against the pillows, my gaze tracing the ceiling above us. Jade’s steady breathing was a reassuring lullaby in the otherwise silent room. It was enough to make me ignore the nagging feeling of unease that twisted my gut.

This wasn’t our world to keep. We were borrowed pieces from different puzzles trying to fit together against all odds. How long before reality came crashing through?

I fell asleep thinking about it. When I woke up, it was still the middle of the night, and Jade was still naked next to me.

I’m just a man so…

...I gave into my urges again. My fingers traced over her soft skin, mapping the rise and fall of her body. The moonlight streaming through the window gave her an ethereal glow, turning her into a goddess under the sheets.

She stirred in her sleep, her back arching into my touch, a soft sigh slipping from her lips. I let my fingers explore her body, familiarizing myself with every curve and hollow, each touch more intimate than the last.

With every breath I took, I inhaled her scent – an intoxicating mix of our intertwined bodies and blossoming love. It made my heart pound in my chest, the echoing rhythm a testament to how desperate I was for this woman beside me.

Jade’s body responded to my touch even in slumber, a shiver running through her as my hand dipped lower. Still asleep, she shifted closer to me, her bare leg draping over mine. She was wrapped around me as though she belonged there – as though we belonged together.

My lips found their way to her neck, peppering kisses from her collarbone up to her earlobe. A low groan escaped from me as my hand teased the sensitive area between her thighs.

She was still soaked and ready for me.

“Dante,” she murmured in her sleep, and I felt the rush of heat in my veins. The desire was a roaring fire within me, burning me up from the inside. I had to have her, again and again, until we were both spent from the ecstasy.

My mind was filled with the image of Jade’s bare body writhe underneath me, and I lost myself in her.

When I pushed into her, she gasped, eyes fluttering open to meet mine.
