man. Deeply, truly, honestly. But I knew you couldn’t make someone love you, and I wasn’t sure Enzo would ever realize how good we could be together if he’d just open his stone-cold heart to the idea of there being something more between us.
“Fuck, you get me so hot,” he drawled, dragging his mouth down the slope of my neck once more. His fingers pressed deep and slow, his thumb circling my clit with steady precision. Enzo knew how to touch me, how to make the waves of pleasure build inside me until I was panting his name.
My legs began to quiver, fire racing through my veins as he pushed me closer to the edge. “God, that feels so good,” I breathed, running my nails down his back. A low groan rumbled in his chest and he nipped my bottom lip with his teeth, soothing the sting with his tongue.
“Come for me, Gattina, come all over my fingers.”
His dirty words sent me flying off the edge, my body bowing into him as I cried his name.
Enzo crawled off me and stripped out of his boxers. He grabbed his wallet, retrieving a condom, and made quick work of ridding me of my pajamas.
Standing at the foot of the bed, he drank in the sight of me, pumping himself a couple of times. His was rock hard, the piercing in the tip of his dick glinting in the dark. I rubbed my thighs together in eager anticipation, I knew how good that felt rubbing inside me.
Enzo reached forward and wrapped a hand around my ankle, tugging me down the bed. My shriek of surprise filled the room. But then he was there, pressed right against my core, sliding himself through my wetness. It felt divine. Dirty and oh so good.
“Enzo…”
“Patience, Gattina.” He pushed my legs wider, hooking them around his waist. Then inch by glorious inch, he rocked inside me. We both moaned, the intensity almost too much to bear.
“Fuck, you feel good.” His eyes were blown with desire, dark and dangerous. But I wasn’t scared. Enzo would never hurt me, not physically at least.
He pulled out slowly and slammed back inside, eliciting a breathy moan from my lips. His eyes were fixed on where our bodies were joined, and he watched with rapt fascination as he began fucking me hard and fast, as if he was exorcising his demons with every thrust. His thumb found my clit again, mirroring the pace of his hips. I reached for him, needing to feel his lips on mine, and Enzo came willingly, folding his big body over mine and kissing me like I was air, and he was drowning. His hand encircled my throat, pinning me in place to allow him complete control of my mouth, my body.
“So fucking beautiful.” He went harder… faster… making the headboard crash against the wall, leaving no mistake as to what we were doing.
But I didn’t care.
Nothing, nothing had ever felt better than this. Watching—feeling—a guy so untouchable as Enzo Marchetti lose control.
“Cazzo, come sei stretta,” he purred against my lips, rocking into me with vigor. I could feel him everywhere. But that’s what Enzo did whenever he was near—he consumed me. I knew I had it bad for this man. I knew if he asked me to be his, I would say yes in a heartbeat.
I also knew that he would never ask.
Which was why I couldn’t keep doing this, not if I wanted to keep my sanity and my self-respect.
“What is it?” he asked, slowing his pace. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” I forced a smile, curling my fingers in the hair at the nape of his neck and pulling him down to kiss me. “Make me shatter,” I whispered.
His lips curved wickedly against mine. “It would be my honor.”
No more words were spoken between us as Enzo showed me with his body what he would never tell me in words.
As I came, my body trembling around him, a rogue tear slipped down my cheek, knowing this was probably the last time I would ever be with him.
Our relationship wasn’t made for the sunlight. It was nurtured in the dark, made strong only by the shadows and secrets that surrounded it. But come morning, they would turn to ash, and everything would go back to how it was before.
“Fuck, Nora… fuuuuck.” Enzo stilled as he reached his own climax. Our bodies were slick with sweat and my lips were sore and swollen.
