“I can give it a shot then.” Melvin exhaled deeply.

Mia smiled and gave him another hug. “Thanks, BFG.”

“Anything for you, bug.” A tear fell from both their eyes.

Mia returned to her bed, where Aurelio was snoring lightly. She curled beside him, her front to his back. She put an arm around his chest, gently pulling herself closer. Melvin climbed back onto the couch, giving her a little wave goodnight before lying down. Mia closed her eyes, willing herself to fall back asleep, but it seemed to be evading her. Instead, she found her mind wandering, thinking of what the past four months held. She thought of the first moment she swiped right on Aurelio; a finger slip led to all this. She remembered the conversations, the dates, the moments they had been building to in each other’s arms, and the finish line to freedom just ahead. She sighed, snuggling closer to the warm body of her love.

As she did, Aurelio turned in her embrace; his eyes were partially open, and a smile was on his lips. “Hello, beautiful.”

Mia found herself relaxing into a smile, placing her lips gently on his. Aurelio’s hand found her waist, pulling her to him; their bodies fit together like a puzzle. Their legs entangled with each other, and the kiss became more passionate. She let her tongue roam his mouth, tasting all the sweetness of him. A soft moan escaped her lips as Aurelio’s hand traveled up her stomach to her chest, fingers playing gently with a nipple. He grew hard between her thighs, her own desire making her wet. She wanted him to take her, to make love to her, and help her release thepressure growing between her thighs. But Aurelio pulled back, his hand going back to rest on her hips.

“Not like this,” he murmured softly, planting one more kiss on her lips.

He moved from the bed, pushing the curtain aside and stepping into the bathroom, turning back to look at her before disappearing. Mia bit her lip, glancing towards where her brothers slept. Quiet as a church mouse, she got up and tiptoed to the bathroom. She slipped inside, turning to close the door gently.

Aurelio was on her, lifting her up. Her legs wrapped around him, and her back was braced against the door. Their lips crashed against one another, the heat between them melting away the cold. Her hands were around his neck as Aurelio held her butt, squeezing. She could feel his erection through the thin underwear they both wore.

He pulled back, panting as he stared at Mia. “I love you.”

“I love you,” she replied, feeling the spark that had started all of it glowing in her chest.

Aurelio leaned back, letting his lips meet hers gently. The kiss they were sharing was calm, loving. She felt each movement as he traced along her jaw and down her neck. Goosebumps rose on her skin, her body craving the touch.

“Fuck, beautiful,” he groaned against her. “You are so fucking perfect.”

She felt the glow in her chest grow brighter, the spark burning her up inside. She kissed him anywhere she could reach. Aurelio lifted his head, meeting her lips. He walked backward towards the tub slowly. Mia kissed him harder, refusing to break the connection even as he turned and leaned down to place her on the edge of the tub. As he stood, she locked her hands aroundhis neck, pulling him back to kiss her more. He chuckled against her lips.

“Let me show you how perfect you are.” He moved her hands from his neck. “Let me worship you.” The goosebumps spread across her body like wildfire and the spark she felt glowed behind his eyes.

She nodded, dropping her hands to rest on the tub. Kneeling between her legs, Aurelio gently pushed her thighs apart; his face lit up like he had found a lost treasure. Her desire rose higher and higher as she watched him; the love and want on his face was driving her wild.

“Fucking perfect,” he murmured, burying his face between her thighs. She let her head fall back, closing her eyes as his tongue slipped into her folds. She moaned as he kissed her vagina softly, moving his tongue delicately along her clit. He devoured her slowly, letting every soft breath against her wet flesh push her further and further to the climax she craved. It felt so good; she wanted it to last forever. She had never felt so alive, her body buzzing with electricity as he worked her over. Mia could feel his desire to make her cum from the dedication he was putting in. Aurelio sucked her clit hard, thrusting his tongue in and out of her pussy. She felt two fingers slide in and then a third, his thumb moving over her clit.

“Oh, Aurelio.” The orgasm was close. She couldn’t scream; her brothers were just outside the door, so she held it in. Mia’s body exploded.

Aurelio let her ride out the waves of euphoria on his tongue, licking up all the juices she produced. When she was spent, her body tired and tingling, he stood.

“Aurelio.”

He leaned down and kissed her, pulling her close. Her arms circled his neck, holding him. “Let’s get you back to bed.” He lifted her up, and Mia wanted to argue; she wanted to make him feel as good as he made her. But she couldn’t. Mia’s legs were wrapped around his waist, arms encircling his neck, and head resting on his shoulder as he carried her slowly and quietly to bed. Together, they climbed in and fell asleep.

Chapter Thirty-one

The sun was the next thing to wake Mia. Her eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the light as it streamed in, and she saw the empty spot beside her.

She sat up, saddened, when a voice called out, “What’s wrong, beautiful?” Aurelio walked past the curtain.

Mia’s face lit up; her smile was wide at seeing him in the sunshine. “You stayed?”

“Of course.” He leaned down to kiss her temple. “Your brothers and I just got back from a run.” He pointed to all three of her brothers dressed in their jogging shorts and tanks with sweat on their brows.

“Oh,” Mia said, catching Melvin’s eyes and smiling at him. He smiled back and gave her a small nod, turning toward the bathroom. “That’s awesome.”

Aurelio kissed her again as a fight broke out between her brothers over who got to shower first.

“I’m the oldest; it’s me,” Melvin insisted, slipping in and closing the door.

Mia and Aurelio laughed. “You went out the front door?” she asked, realizing if he had gone for a run, he left and came back to her apartment.
