Real love so very rarely happens, there’s no way its hit us both.

Two twin brothers both of which are severely fucked in the head, capable of watching a man bleed out slowly without feeling anything at all.

Being with Fiona has seemed to calm Alessandro quite a bit though. As if only she can quiet the rage that is normally just under the surface, clawing to be unleashed.

Just as I’m swinging the ax again, I feel her presence behind me but I don’t turn around.

“I brought you a cup of coffee. Black with sugar right?” Her sweet voice says.

Not willing to hurt her by not acknowledging her, I turn catching her eyes with mine.

She hands the cup over to me and I take it, our fingers barely touching which sends a shock up my arm.

Her eyes widen as if she felt it too, still I say nothing, putting my lips on the mug and taking a sip.

She made it perfectly, just the way I like it.

Her eyes linger on my mouth for a moment before she turns back around, taking a step away from me.

My hand reaches out before I know what I’m doing, spinning her back towards me. The motion has her front bumping into my own.

I look straight into her eyes, willing her to stop me because at this point, I can’t stop myself from getting just one taste of her.

Slowly leaning down, I cover her mouth with my own. She gasps at the contact and I take full advantage, deepening the kiss.

The feeling of her against me and the taste of her mouth has my entire body turning to steel. I know at this very moment that I will never let her go. She is mine.

Our kiss was interrupted by the ringing of Gio’s phone. He never said a word, just pulled it from his pocket and walked away to answer it leaving me standing there unsure if I could catch my breath. My body feels more alive now than it had earlier while thinking of him between my legs.

Turning on very shaky legs, I walk in the opposite direction, needing to calm myself before our next interaction. Otherwise I may just beg him to take me. I smile at the thought.

Walking just into the tree line, it opens up into a small clearing completely covered by early spring wildflowers. The setting is more beautiful than anything I’ve ever seen before.

I take a seat in the middle of all the flowers, lifting my face up to the sun, enjoying its warmth. I’ve never had much experience with the wilderness before, having always been in the larger cities like Miami.
