Celine's nerves were palpable as Ermanno's eyes traced over her frame, the implication of her request not lost on her. "I don't mean 'sleep with you' like 'sleep with you'," she hurriedly clarified, her words tripping over each other. "I mean, sleep with you, like just sleep."

Ermanno's chuckle was a balm to her frazzled nerves. "Calm down, Princess," he said, amusement dancing in his voice. "I understood what you meant."

The storm raged on outside, the occasional crackle of lightning illuminating the room in brief flashes.

Celine tentatively stepped into Ermanno's room, the soft glow of the lamp creating an intimate atmosphere. She clutched her pillow, her body trembling slightly with nerves.

"Thank you," she murmured, climbing into his bed with a quiver of apprehension.

Ermanno's gaze trailed over her figure, his eyes lingering on her short lingerie. He swallowed hard, feeling a familiar rush of desire threaten to overtake his carefully constructed composure.

    "My family wants to meet you," Celine said softly, her words tinted with both excitement and trepidation. Ermanno had already laid out a delicious breakfast for her."When?" he asked, pouring a glass of juice for her."Maybe before the week is out? Will you be free?" she asked, her eyes fixed on his.Ermanno gave a slight nod, his expression warm and open. "Of course I will. They are my in-laws after all,""Mmm," Celine moaned, her eyes fluttering shut as she savored the sweetness of the food.Ermanno smirked with pride. "I know," he said, basking in her enjoyment."Elena will dress you up," he informed her, his tone brooking no argument. "We are attending a masquerade ball today, and you will be my date."Celine's face fell, her expression pinched with reluctance. "Do I really have to go?" she protested, her distaste for crowded places well-known.“Yes.”"Good morning," Oliver's cheerful voice greeted her, his presence a welcome distraction."Good morning, Oliver," Celine replied wit

    Celine sighed, a wistful expression clouding her features as she watched Ermanno answer the call, his attention now diverted.

"They already do," she chuckled, her smile reassuring him as they stood on the threshold of her family's home.With a firm knock, the door swung open, revealing Aaron's familiar face.

    As their lips locked, the world around them faded into oblivion, replaced by an electric surge of desire that coursed through their veins. Ermanno's fingers traced the contours of Celine's neck, his touch a fiery caress that fueled the growing inferno of their passion.The kiss deepened, their tongues exploring each other's mouths with a hunger that threatened to devour. They kissed as if it were their first, and their last, each kiss a symphony of raw emotion and unbridled lust.Ermanno, his eyes heavy with desire, released her from the intoxicating kiss, his words, barely a whisper, carrying a potency that rivaled their embrace.

    The lyrics rang out from the speakers, Fiona belting out Chester Bennington's words with gusto."I tried so hard and got so far! But in the end, it doesn't even matter! I had to fall to lose it all, but in the end, it doesn't even matter!"Celine, sitting beside Fiona, rolled her eyes and laughed, her phone in hand as she snapped photos and videos of Fiona's enthusiastic carpool karaoke. "Fiona, my ears are suffering! Can you chill with the high notes? You sound like a dying goldfish!" she teased."Oh, please!" Fiona retorted, still singing along to the chorus. "When I become a famous singer, you're gonna be at my concerts and you're gonna love every second of it! Even if I do sound like a fish on land!"Celine rolled her eyes, a playful smirk on her lips. "Since when do you have a passion for music?" she asked, teasing her friend."Since today!" Fiona replied with a playful shrug.

    Celine, her inhibitions lowered by the alcohol, taunted Ermanno. "Like what you see?" she purred, her fingers trailing across the curve of her breasts.Ermanno's grip tightened on the wheel. "Put your top on, Celine," he commanded, trying to maintain control."It's hot in here," she whined, kicking off her shoes and stretching across the seat, her bra-clad body on display.Ermanno sighed, his anger now replaced by concern for her safety. He started the car, determined to get her home without incident."Don't blame me if I end up fucking you until you can't walk," Ermanno growled, his words a mix of frustration and lust. He turned on the car stereo, desperate for a distraction from the temptation that was Celine.The drive home was a blur of flashing lights and blaring music, Ermanno's thoughts consumed by his desire for Celine.Once they arrived, Ermanno carried Celine inside and laid her on the couch in the living room."Drinking like that without someone to keep an eye on you is foo

    Fiona woke up with a groan, her body aching as if she'd been run over by a bus. She drew a deep breath, but the familiar pounding in her head reminded her of last night's excesses.As she tried to move, her hands brushed against a warm hand wrapped around her waist. Memories of Oliver from the party last night flooded back, and her heart skipped a beat."Damn it," she cursed under her breath, carefully disentangling his arm from her waist, trying not to wake the sleeping stranger.Fiona's body ached in places she didn't even know could ache, thanks to Oliver's rough handling the previous night. "Some guys have no chill," she muttered under her breath, recalling the passionate night they had shared.She finally found her clothes strewn around the room and got dressed in haste, hoping to slip out before Oliver woke up. As she glanced at the handsome stranger still sound asleep in his bed, her mind replayed the memories of the night, a small smile forming on her lips."Too bad we won't m

    Celine's voice trembled as she repeated the question. "What are we, Ermanno?" Her heart beat faster, each second stretching into an eternity as she awaited his answer. Ermanno's expression shifted, his eyes searching hers as if seeking the words he needed. "I don't know, Celine," he said, his voice low and grave. "What are we?" Celine swallowed hard, her own uncertainty flooding back into her mind. "I...I don't know," she stammered, her face falling into a small frown.

"We are nothing, Celine," he stated flatly, as if it were a simple fact. Celine's eyes widened, shock and hurt coursing through her. "Really?” "Is that how you feel?"

Travelling from one amazing location to another wrapped in Ermanno's love and possessiveness, it had been nothing less than delight. Whether it was kissing me in bed or dragging me into quiet nooks to whisper sinful things in my ear, he spoilt me nonstop.

Tonight was our special dinner, just the two of us away from security's view and free from distractions.I wanted to make it special, to remind him that my desire for him had only gotten stronger after two months, and to tease him. I walked in front of the mirror and rubbed my hands over the deep-red silk dress I had selected. The fabric was so smooth that it felt like a second skin, hugging my curves until it stopped just above my knees. It was his favourite, and I knew it. I had a wicked thought. I grinned to myse

    Zelda’s POVThe hotel was exquisite,a place where the wealthy whispered about power over glasses of aged whiskey. But I wasn’t here for luxury. I had walked through its pristine halls with a single purpose. Every step I took echoed my resolve. When the elevator doors slid open, I kindly stepped into the private hallway leading to the penthouse suite.Two guards stood outside,their expressions unreadable. They didn’t quite question me, didn’t even flinch. They knew who I was. Or rather, who I was about to become. One of them quickly reached for the door handle,,pulling it open for me. As I stepped In gracefully,I caught the scent of something sterile beneath the rich fragrance of fresh lilies.The suite was massive, marble floors, crystal chandeliers, floor-to-ceiling windows that showcased the city beautiful skyline. But I barely noticed. My eyes sparkled as they landed on the two persons patiently waiting for me. Marco was very much relaxed on the couch,a full glass of whi

    Ermanno’s POVThe first thing I noticed was her breathing, ragged, uneven,too fast. Celine lay beside me, her body rigid, her fingers clenching the sheets in a death grip.Her face is twisted in discomfort, a fine sheen of sweat glistening on her forehead despite the cool morning air drifting through the open balcony door. She is clearly having A nightmare. I immediately pushed myself up onto one elbow, watching her,my chest tightening at the sight of her in distress. I had seen her in many states, laughing, teasing, moaning my name, but never like this. I calmly brushed a strand of damp hair away from her pretty face and leaned closer. “Princess,” I whispered, my voice soft yet firm. I didn’t want to startle her, but i can’t let her be in distress much longer.Her lashes fluttered, but she did not wake up.I placed my cold palm gently on her cheeks.“wake up, Love. You’re safe.” A sharp hasty breath tore from her lips,and her eyes snapped open. Wide, panicked. For a second,s

    Zelda’s POVThe scent of fucking damp stone and cigarette smoke lingered in the narrow alleyway,curling into my lungs as I steadied my breath. The moment I turned the corner,a very very rough hand grabbed my wrist, yanking me backward with enough force to make me stumble. “What the fuck!”My back hit the fucking brick wall, the cold surface pressing against my exposed skin.."Are you out of your fucking goddamn mind?" Marco hissed,his voice sharp but quiet enough to avoid drawing attention. His dark eyes burned into mine,his grip tight around my wrist,firm, commanding, but not painful.I met his icy dripping glare with an impassive look,tilting my head slightly. "Relax, Marco. It was just an accident."His scoff was laced with irritation. "An accident? So Out of all the people in this city, you just happened to bump into her? Who are you kidding, love?"I smiled slightly lazily. "Hmmmmmm… Maybe just maybe fate wanted me to see her, you know?"His jaw clenched, he looks hot when angry

Some people were selling street food, while others strolled by hand-in-hand, lovers, friends, families, adults, and children, it really, really amazes me.I leaned in and tiptoed as I placed a gentle kiss on his lips, but Ermanno pulled me in for a deeper kiss. Our tongues and lips played sinful games with one another. Placing my hand gently on hischest, I pulled away from the kiss, trapped in his Hunter eyes.“Fuck! I can’t seem to get enough of you.” he chuckled.I shyly blushed, glancing around,and noticed a woman selling flowers at her little stand just across the street on the other sidewalk.“Wait here, hun,” I said and rushed off before he could say anything.

The security team struggled to keep the enthusiastic throng at bay, but it seemed like a losing battle. "I'm sure pictures of this are already circulating online," I mused, as I stood before the private jet, emblazoned with my name and signature. Ermanno's smile was affectionate as he gazed upon me, his pride evident. "That's yours, sweetheart," Ermanno murmured, wrapping his arms around me from behind. Confused, I turned to him, my expression a mix of surprise and incredulity. "Wait, really? That's my private jet?" "All yours," he confirmed with a grin. "I wanted to get you something special for our honeymoon, and what better way than your own private jet?" I was rendered speechless, the magnitude of his gift overwhelming me. "Really?"
