“The fucking best,” she almost wheezed.
My palm cupped her breast, pretending to squeeze her but really wanting to feel her heartbeat. It thundered in her chest like my own.
She reached around to grab my other arm and force me to cuddle her.
Somehow, my cock was stiffening inside her again.
“Let’s just stay here,” she whispered, her back flush against my chest.
“After being tortured by not having my cock in you, I wouldn’t mind leaving it there forever.”
“Sounds like a plan.”
I chuckled, holding her there, hoping the night wouldn’t end. Or that the new year would continue just as it had started. With her by my side.
The way she fit against me, the way I fit inside her, the way she made me smile in my darkest moments… yet how I could be real with her… when I’d contemplated if I loved her, it had seemed like a fleeting thought.
But it grounded me in every interaction. Love had crept up on me and settled in my heart. I promised myself I would savour it, holding her close, my lips against her skin.
For however long I could, I would show her how I felt.
Because there would come a time when I couldn’t; even if I knew then and there, the feeling would never pass me.
Before, I didn’t know if I was capable of love, of what it did to people and how love only seemed to hurt.
But I wasn’t thinking about how it could hurt me.
I knew I wouldn’t let anything upset her.
I wasn’t capable of breaking her heart.
I was in love with Everly Bacque.
Screw my family, screw Ciclati.
There was nothing that could stop me from loving her.
From afar, up close, secretly, obsessively.
Nothing could stop me but her.

Everly
Holy fucking shit.
I was still trembling from the blissful ruin, my body aching in pleasure, tired and yet absolutely wired.
I was going to feel his Italian stallion for days.
And he was still inside of me.
Exactly where I needed him. Could we sleep like this? His cock a force between my thighs? Make up for lost time?
He said forever and I hated that my heart skipped a damn beat.
