I lie down beside her. “We escaped. We’re not out of the woods yet, but hopefully, we have some time to close our eyes and get some sleep.”

“Yeah.” She shakes her head. “I can’t believe any of that happened. On one hand, I’m ecstatic I don’t have to live my life with Salvatore. But on the other hand, I know the real problems are just beginning. Salvatore’s men will want revenge. And Antonio … I don’t even know what he’s going to do. I thoughtI knew my brother, but ever since he took over … he’s like a stranger to me.”

“It will be okay.” I pull her into my arms, and we remain like that for a while.

Cecilia eventually lifts her head and meets my eyes. “I want to forget about today. I just want to be with you, Theo.”

“I want to be with you, too.”

She shakes her head. “No. Theo …” She takes my hand and places it on her breast. I suck in a breath. “I want you to make love to me.”

“But we’re not married. I thought you wanted to wait for marriage.”

“I’m done with rules. I think we’re past that anyway. Besides, God didn’t save me from Salvatore. You did. And all I want is to be with you.”

“Are you sure?”

“Theo, stop talking and kiss me.”

I do just that.

I roll Cecilia onto her back as our kiss becomes more passionate. She grips my shoulders, pulling me closer. I roam my hands along the side of her body, and Cecilia gasps when I press my hips to hers.

It’s finally happening. The moment I get to be with Cecilia for the very first time. I don’t take it lightly. I know how much it means to her to have sex for the first time, and I’m going to cherish that.

I sit back and help her slip off her dress inch by inch until her gorgeous body is exposed. She’s wearing a simple lacy white bra and underwear, and it takes everything out of me to not pounce on her and fuck her like a savage.

She needs gentle and slow right now, and that’s what I’ll give her.

Cecilia slips off my jacket and shirt, kissing along my arms and chest as she goes. I let out a shuddering breath. She smiles up at me as she undoes my belt buckle. Once I’m only in my underwear, I lie back down on the bed and roll on top of her.

We resume kissing, taking our time, even though there’s an urgency to the kiss. Cecilia begins to arch her body up against mine. Her skin on my skin is the best fucking feeling in the world.

“I need more,” she whispers against my lips. I take her bra off and lean down to capture one of her nipples in my mouth. She cries out, arching against me. While I spend time pleasuring her breasts, I bring my other hand down and slip off her panties so I can touch her pussy.

She moans when my fingers brush against her clit. She’s already wet for me.

I kiss back up her chest, letting my lips linger over the cross around her throat. “I’ve wanted to do this to you for a long time.” I swipe my fingers up and down her slit, getting her wetter. Cecilia’s legs clamp down around my arm.

“I need you,” she gasps. Her cheeks are flushed, and her lips are parted. She’s never looked more beautiful than right now.

I press my hand against her folds, rubbing her harder. Her breathe starts to come out in pants. I know she’s getting close.

When my thumb flicks against her nub, Cecilia cries out and grabs my arms, her body shuddering. I cover her mouth with mine so I can kiss her while she rides out her orgasm.

Once she’s done, I pull my hand away and push my underwear off. I settle between her legs, wrapping my arms around her body. I need her as close to me as I can get.

“I love you, Cecilia,” I growl against her lips.

“I love you, Theo.”

“Are you ready?” I angle my cock up to her entrance. I’m so fucking hard; it’s difficult to even think.

She brings her legs higher around my waist. “I’m ready.”

With a thrust of my hips, I enter her. She gasps as she clings to me. I see some discomfort in her expression, so I take my time entering her, letting her get a feel for my cock.

After a few seconds, she nods. “I’m good.”
