I think I loved Aiden, really, I did. But deep down I always knew that he was always going to be the runner up. He was never going to be theone. Because I already met myone.
Alessandro releases one arm around me, still keeping me firmly in his arms as he swipes all of the snacks on his bed to the ground before he slowly lowers himself onto the bed, keeping me on top of him. We get situated to where I am half on him, my leg draped over his with my head tucked into his chest. The hand that is around me starts soothingly rubbing the back of my arm before he places a brief kiss onto the top of my head. Not being able to fight it any longer, my eyes flutter close and I drift off into a deep sleep.

I feel the warmth of a pair of lips, pressing against my temple softly. My eyes slowly open and all I see is a dark room. My swollen eyes still burn as they begin to adjust to the darkness. Soon, I am able to see that I am not in just any room, but Alessandro’s. All at once everything comes flooding back to me. Aiden and I breaking up. Him accusing me of cheating on him. Him saying that Alessandro is working with the Vipers. Alessandro carrying me in here and holding me till I fell asleep.
Glancing at the clock on the dresser I see that it is only 12:34AM which means I haven’t been asleep for more than 4 hours. I crane my head to look at Alessandro who is still holding me tightly, staring down at me fully alert like he hasn’t even fallen asleep yet. The thought of him watching me sleep shouldn’t be nearly as comforting and sweet as I think it is.
“You asked why I care. The other day, at the hotel,” he says just above a whisper.
I look at him expectantly, my eyes tracing over his face.
“It’s because you are mine, you have always been mine. From the moment you opened your eyes, your heart called out to mine, and I knew that I would never be the same. I knew from that first moment that I was looking at my entire world. I care because I was supposed to be all of your firsts, it was always supposed to be you and me.”
My breath catches as my stomach drops. Am I still dreaming?
“Alessandro,” I whisper softly.
He quickly grabs my hand and places it on top of his chest, right where I can feel his heart rapidly beating beneath my fingertips. I stare at the sight of me touching him for a moment before my eyes come back up to face him.
“It beats for you. Always. Every time that you hurt, so do I. Every time that you are happy, so am I. I feeleverythingbecause of you. We are connected, bound, whatever you want to call it. You are mine and I am sick of standing to the side waiting for you to figure it out.”
Before I can even think a single thought or breathe a single word, Alessandro cups my face and crushes his lips to mine. Fireworks detonate as he presses his smooth lips against mine. The tingling sensation that has been there since we were kids has now intensified times a million, so much so that I am practically on fire from it. This.Thisis the kiss to end all kisses.
His tongue greedily licks at the seam of my lips, begging for entry. I move them ever so slightly and he takes full advantage, ravaging my mouth until there is not a single inch that hasn’t been worshiped by him. He breaks away for a moment, his nose brushing against mine as his chest rapidly rises and falls.
“Tell me. Please. Tell me you want it, because I know damn good and well that you feel this thing between us too.”
Looking at him like this, so vulnerable and raw and passionate, I see only love in his eyes. I see what I had hoped to see for years. It was finally happening, this was it. We had a shot once and it slipped away before either of us could grab it. We won’t be making the same mistake twice.
“I want it, you, everything,” I pant.
Alessandro flips us quickly so that he is hovering over me. His hands run up and down my body as if he is trying to memorize every inch of me. He leans down and presses his lips against mine quickly, I lick his lips savoring each swipe until my tongue tangles with his. I can’t help but let a little moan escape as he deepens the kiss. He grinds against me as he holds me tighter, and I can already tell that I am totally soaked straight through my leggings.
His fingers skim the band of my leggings before they dip below, trailing a scorching path to my inner thigh before pushing my panties to the side and dipping a single finger inside. Alessandro lets out a feral growl as I softly whimper.
“Holy shit. You are dripping, Bella.”
I arch into his touch as he adds a second finger. He begins to work me slowly, picking up his speed as his thumb reaches to brush against my clit. I shudder under his touch as I begin to gasp for air. Nothing has ever felt this good. Aiden and I had fooled around but it never even felt close tothis. After one more brush against my clit, I explode. My body trembles as I dig my hands into his shoulders and moan out my release.
Once I have come down from the most intense orgasm of my life, Alessandro pulls his fingers out of me, bringing them up to his mouth and slowly sucking, never breaking eye contact with me. The gesture alone has me aching for more. Alessandro’s mouth kicks up into an amused smile.
“Don’t worry, Bella. I am not even close to done with you.”
Alessandro quickly peels his pants off, revealing his hard cock. Holy shit. There is no way that is going to fit. I glance up at him nervously and he just chuckles.
“I’ve got you.”
Lining himself up to me he pauses before leaning down and cupping my jaw in his large hand, making my head spin as he kisses me like it’s his last few moments. Without breaking the kiss, he pushes into me, sending a ripple of pain running through me. I gasp as my thighs clench painfully.
“Oh shit. Easy, Bella. Relax. Fuck you are so tight.”
I take a few deep breaths doing my best to relax. After a few more moments I look up to Alessandro and nod for him to continue. Alessandro starts moving slowly, each thrust making the pain dissipate a little more and more until all that is left is pleasure. Hie eyes lock onto mine and he holds my face lovingly as he continues working my body over.
“Alessandro,” I moan as he hits one particularly good spot. He repeats the motion again and again and again. “I-I’m gonna come again,” I say in between gasped breaths.
“Shit,” he growls as he pistons his hips faster.
