“Yes, this stone in particular is imperial jade—one of the rarest gems to ever exist.” I brush the stone with my fingers, enjoying the cool feel on my skin.

“It’s beautiful, thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” he says, placing a kiss on the back of my neck, and I melt against him.

We enjoy our food and talk about all the stuff he’s bringing home for his siblings. We went shopping while in New York, and I was surprised when he offered to let me get presents for my siblings, as well. At first, I didn’t want to, but I knew they’d all enjoy something from the big city, so I accepted. I got fancy scarfs for my brothers, the softest sweaters for Mama and Granny, and a gorgeous wool coat for Rain. I liked it so much, Gio got it for me in every single color they had available.

“What are you thinking about so hard over there?” Gio calls from the kitchen where he’s preparing the cannolis and coffee.

“The truth?”

“Always.”

“How much I’m going to miss you.” My voice breaks, and I hate it because I’ve never been a clingy person—I know he’s not leaving forever, and we’ll be able to FaceTime and text all the time. But he has buried himself so deep inside me, I feel like I’m not the same person when he’s not near. And that thought excites me and freaks me out in equal measure.

“Sweetheart.” He leaves the cannolis on the countertop and closes the space between us in two quick strides. “I love you, Ruin MacAllister. I promise we’ll go visit your family together as soon as you have the first break at school. I’m going to miss you, too, but I know it’s a short period of time we’ll be apartcompared to the rest of our lives.” I let his words sink in, like a balm for my aching heart. I don’t know why I am so scared to lose him. Maybe it’s because I’ve never felt so much for someone before.

“You’re right. You’ll be back before we know it.” I give him a wobbly smile, and he kisses me tenderly. I wrap my arms around him and my heart starts to calm. I can feel his love in every single touch—gentle, full of purpose.

“What do you say—want to ditch dessert and let me have you instead?” His grin is wicked. I love when he gets all playful.

“Yes, please, Professor Bianchi,” I say in a breathy tone, and I can feel the bulge growing inside his pants. He loves role-playing.

“Hmm, my baby girl wants to play,” Gio says as he grabs my ass, pressing me against his desire. “Are you going to be a good student and do as I say?”

I nod, unable to form words when I’m so lost in the haze of being loved by him.

“I need to hear your words, sweetheart. I need to know you’re giving your teacher consent to bury himself so deep inside you, you’ll feel me even when we're apart.”

A shot of electricity runs through me as Gio’s words light me up from the inside out.

“Yes, Professor Bianchi. I consent.” Gio guides us to the closest couch in the living room and starts undressing me with such reverence that I feel goose bumps all over my body. Sex with him has been toe-curling amazing, but this is a new side of him, and I’m excited to see what he has in store.

“Hmm, look at you, pretty girl. So primed and ready to take my cock,” Gio says, removing my soaked panties. “Too bad you’re going to have to beg me for it.” I whimper as his fingers graze my clit. “Do you want to come on my tongue first, baby girl?” I nod, and he raises a brow.

“Yes, Professor Bianchi.”

“Good girl.”Damn, when did he get this playful?I’m about to combust, and he hasn’t even touched me yet.

Gio starts trailing wet kisses on my legs, forming circles with his tongue as he reaches my inner thighs. I squirm on the spot, anticipation coursing through me. He bites my clit, and I jump off the couch.Fuck. He didn’t ease me into things. The shocking part is that I enjoyed it. He rubs my clit with his fingers, and I moan.

“Did you like that?”

I nod and give him an unintelligible murmur. I never knew pain could be so hot.

“Good. Let’s try this next.” Gio slaps my pussy, and the sting sends a shot of pleasure to my core so intense I see stars.

“More,” I hear myself say as I open wider for him to continue punishing my hot and very bothered pussy. He licks and sucks at my clit before slapping it again, and this time my moan is louder.

“Fuck, Ruin. Look how wet you are for me,” Gio purrs as he paints my navel with my release. I’m enjoying this too much, and Gio can tell, because he pushes two fingers inside me and keeps lapping and tugging at my clit. I buck, seeking more pressure, and Gio inserts another finger, and it feels like heaven. Next thing I know, I’m coming so hard, I hold his head in place to ride my pleasure wave until the end.

Once I’ve calmed down a bit, he gets up and gets rid of his pants and boxers in one swift move. His sweater is gone next. His thick cock is standing at attention. He looks so hot and masculine, I feel the need to take him in my mouth. So I do just that.

“Such a good girl. Taking Professor Bianchi’s cock,” he breathes as he grabs my hair and wraps it around his hand, pulling me to take all of his cock in my mouth. I gag at the overwhelming incursion, and he freezes. “Is this too much?” heasks, his voice laced with concern. I shake my head and release him with a pop.

“No, Professor, I was just surprised. But I’m enjoying having your cock in my mouth.” I lick his head and then lick my lips, showing him how much I’m enjoying what we’re doing.

Gio’s head goes back as he murmurs, “You’re perfect, Miss MacAllister.”
