tesoro. I said you seem to be the morning type after all.”
I gulped and released a breath of relief. His explanation made perfect sense. The stress and serious lack of sleep must have caught up with me. Now I was hearing things that weren’t there. Uttering one last prayer, I slowly undid his tie and let it fall to the floor. Then, I methodically fumbled with the buttons of his shirt. The entire time, Alessandro sat unmoving in his chair and I could feel his eyes burn on my skin. When I undid the last button and opened his shirt, my knuckles grazed his abs. His stomach flexed and Alessandro groaned as if he lost control. He pulled me dangerously close and his kisses landed on every single spot except for my lips while his hands buried into my hair. Once again, he was the one in absolute control. Suddenly, he lifted me in his arms and carried me to bed, never removing his lips from my skin. He gently lowered my body on the satin sheets and willed me to lie on my belly. I glanced over my shoulder and froze when I discerned the hungry look in his dark eyes. Fear coursed through my veins, but I repeated to myself it would be the last time. Just close your eyes…just endure...
But Alessandro didn’t act upon his desire. Instead, he took it slow, whispering seductive Italian endearments in my ear as he gently peeled off my robe and let his long fingers roam along my skin. Up and down…one of his hands trailed my back and gave me a long, soothing massage. All the while, his lips planted soft kisses on my temple, the nape of my neck and just below my ear. And his other hand slowly lowered down my stomach until it reached my core and began a series of soft, circling motions. Somehow, Alessandro made me feel as though I floated on a weightless cloud. I was in a deep trance when I heard him fumble with the remainder of his clothes behind me. Then, his weight gradually settled upon me. His chest leaned against my back, his cheek landing against mine as he gently spread my thighs and his manhood nudged against my slick flesh. Alessandro’s fingers intertwined with mine, and his soft breath landed on my skin. “Tesoro…” He pushed himself inside me, just an inch, and continued advancing with staggering tenderness. “You don’t know…how happy you make me.”
When his entire length was buried firmly inside me, I let out a small gasp at the feeling of fullness and he paused. “Shh, piccola…tell me…what do you want me to do? How do you want it to be?”
I gulped, the memory of the few times he was this gentle filling me with instant apprehension. What, oh what was he going to do with me once he was finished? But the sensation of bliss and his incessant soft kisses distracted me from terror as he began moving inside me in a slow, sensual rhythm.
“Is this okay?” he probed in a low tone, and goosebumps erupted all over my skin. It’s been months since he was this cautious … since he actually talked to me during intimacy.
“Olivia, please say something,” he urged softly.
I let out a small moan. “Yes…this…this is…”
“What?” His hot breath grazed the skin on my neck.
I gasped. “Okay…”
“Okay?” he murmured with strange interest. “And how about this?” He guided his hand to that same spot between my thighs and resumed his touch.
Small strangled cries escaped my lips as the pressure inside me grew with each passing second. His incessant movements combined with the circling motions of his fingers was too much and I was about to scream.
“Hush…you’re okay, piccola…you’re okay,” he soothed in a seductive whisper . “It’s just really intense right now…but I’ll make it better…I’ll make it go away.”
“Alessandro…” I cried out his name as he increased the rhythm and spasm began ripping through my lower stomach.
“That’s it, tesoro…you’re close…just let it happen…just focus.” His fingers reached that secret place that made electric spots dance before my eyes, and the pressure intensified by a hundred. It was about to happen…it was about to happen....it was...it was happening. Through fog, I discerned Alessandro’s whispered order. “Now let me hear it, Olivia…let me hear you come.”
I cried out and erupted with a powerful release. Somewhere in the background I heard Alessandro groan like he lost control, and felt him shudder against me as his
