Melanie’s POVIt took a while before I left the hospital, my shift ended almost an hour ago which meant I was now working overtime.It also meant I didn't have much time to prepare for tonight's outing but I was definitely going to try.I sent, Adriano a text when I was on my way home telling him I was running a little behind, and then I wondered if he was even home yet.He usually got home later than I did so there was a chance he was still at his office. I could use that to my advantage and blame him for our lateness, I thought with a smile on my face.However, Adriano was already at home when I walked in. He was sitting on one of the couches in the living room, reading something from a tablet in his hand.He raised his head when he saw me though and he smiled.“You’re late, little nurse,” he said and I glared at him.“I am? Maybe that’s because I was busy tending to burn victims all day,” I rep

Adriano’s POVMelanie seemed a bit tense in the car but since we got here, all that tension seemed to have disappeared.She was having funny with her friend, Hayley, laughing so loud that other patrons turned to give them weird stares but one look from me was enough to make them back away.Also, there was one thing I realized. Melanie couldn’t bowl if her life depended on it.I spent a while giving her lessons on how to hold the ball and position properly before releasing it, but I might as well have wasted my time because she hardly struck more than two pins at a time and that was only if she was lucky enough to strike anything at all.Still, she didn't seem to mind that she was terrible at it and was having fun all the same. Her friend, Hayley wasn't great but was way better than my girl at bowling.Normally, my competitiveness would have reared its ugly head. Yeah, I can fucking recognize my own toxic trait but, Melanie was having so much fun which meant that her ranking clearly di

Melanie’s POV“You can’t just move my things into your room without asking me!” I yelled at the top of my lungs.He smiled.He had the guts to smile at me while I was so mad at him.“I can and I did,” he said simply.I groaned in frustration.We’ve been having this back and forth for about ten minutes now and it seemed like I was talking to a brick wall.“The polite thing to do would have been to talk about this with me, maybe even ask me to move in with you but you made the decision for me and I’m saying you shouldn’t have done that,” I said, slowly emphasizing each word.“I don’t need to ask you to move in with me when you already live with me,” he replied.“That’s not what I meant and you know that!”I'd come home from work to find my room empty. The first thing that came to my mind was that we'd been robbed, then I realized that this place was a fucking fortress and there was no way anyone could think to rob this place without getting thwarted and possibly hurt in the process.So

Adriano’s POVNews of the mayor’s untimely demise took the media by storm.People have been coming up with various conspiracy theories as to what exactly happened. A lot of stories have circulated from it being a terrorist act, to an unpaid gambling debt, even an act of vengeance by a rival political party.One thing was for certain, a lot of fingers were being pointed in different directions and none of them were right.Melanie was also shocked by the news and didn’t hesitate to inform me while we were having dinner last night.“That’s so sad though. I thought as the mayor he would have more protection,” she had said and it took everything in me to keep a straight face.It would surprise her how easy it was to infiltrate the security of most politicians. Besides, it’s not like he was a senator nor was he occupying a high-ranking office.Nik did a good job of making sure he wasn't associated with us in any way. So try as they might, they were never going to find the person that killed

Adriano’s POVI stared at my mom who had taken the seat that Nik occupied only moments ago.“You didn’t have to come over here to confirm it,” I said.“Yeah, I did,” she said. “Lately, it’s been like you’ve been doing everything possible to avoid a family gathering and I’m not going to let that happen again.”“You could have called instead,” I added.“I wouldn’t be able to tell how you’re feeling over the phone. It’s better to see your face in person,” she replied.“I already told you that I was not going to miss Christmas dinner, Mom,” I said. “Will you be coming alone?” she asked.Now we’ve gotten to the real reason why she came.“No, Mom. I won’t be coming alone. Melanie will be with me,” I answered.That made her smile. “Good, I want to see the lady that’s got my baby boy wrapped around her fingers. Besides, she makes great cookies and I need her to give me her recipe,” she said.“I stopped being a baby years ago, Mom. We’ve had this conversation before and when did you get to ta

Melanie’s POV“I’m getting really antsy, Adriano. The curiosity is killing me,” I said from the passenger seat of his car."Just a few more minutes, little nurse," he said.“Can I look a little?” I asked.“Don’t look until I tell you to,” he ordered.I was currently blindfolded, on the way to God knows where. Adriano told me he had a surprise planned and presented me with a blindfold when we got in his car, making me promise not to take it off no matter what unless he explicitly asked me to and I agreed.That felt like hours ago, and riding in a car, unable to see where you were going wasn’t a very nice feeling.Add that to the New York rush hour traffic and the novelty of the surprise wore off pretty quickly and in it’s place, anxiety reared its head.“I’m beginning to lose interest in this surprise of yours,” I said.“Trust me, little nurse. Your interest will come flooding back once you see what

Melanie’s POVEverything still felt so freaking surreal to me.I was in a private jet. A freaking jet!When Adriano carried me into the plane, he set me down on one of the window seats and took the seat right next to me.The pilot came to introduce himself to me before going back to his station while one of the two flight attendants catering to us on this flight came to take our drink order for which I requested a glass of juice.I was already feeling woozy with excitement, there was no need to add alcohol to the mix.The plane was big enough to seat ten people comfortably. Before the flight attendant came back with our drinks, Adriano gave me a quick tour on the plane and I discovered that there was a bedroom at the back with its own en-suite.“In case you want to take a nap,” Adriano said.Who wouldn't want to sleep on a freaking plane with a bed!?“This is the most thoughtful thing anyone has ev

Melanie's POV“Shit,” Adriano said and grabbed my hair tighter, caught between not wanting to let me go and keeping his eyes from rolling back in ecstasy.I smiled around him and watched him wince as I lapped at his head with the flat of my tongue.Did he really think I would pull away just because of a little semen?Sure I've only given a few blow jobs and only to the people I was exclusively having sex with so I guess you could say I was a bit inexperienced. But with the sounds, Adriano was making, if I had any doubt that I wouldn't be able to make it good for him, those doubts went away, the moment I put my mouth on him.I felt the rush of want rushing my body at the sounds he was making. It gave me some sort of power and I was reveling in it.I put my lowered one of my hands and awkwardly slid my hands into the sweatpants I was wearing, touching myself.“That’s right, baby. Touch yourself while you suck my

Adriano’s POV“Mr. Alfonso, is anything the matter?”I looked up at the accountant who paused his presentation. I could tell from the sweat marring his forehead that he was nervous. He was a new hire and was still trying to learn the ropes.So far so good, his presentation was good, but it was so goddamn boring. That was why when I started getting notifications of large transactions on my card, I couldn’t help but smile.I damn near forced, Melanie to accept the card from me and according to, Ralph they had been at the mall for hours and I just began getting transaction notifications.It didn’t take a genius to figure out that my sister had a hand in it. Maybe she wasn’t so useless after all.Melanie was too stubborn to let herself enjoy things that were freely given to her so it was good she had friends who didn’t hesitate to push her when she needed it.So yes, I’ve been distracted from the presentation, but that

Melanie’s POVAfter I had disconnected the call with, Aria, I went in search of my man and found him engrossed with something on his desktop.He raised his head when he noticed me and smiled at me."Did you miss me, little nurse?" he asked.I walked towards him and nodded. “I didn’t want to be alone,” I said.“Come here,” he ordered and I followed without hesitation.He pushed away from his desk and made room for me to sit."I thought you had a long overdue conversation with your girls," he said.“I did have conversation with my girls but that’s over now and I didn’t want to be left alone in the room. Besides, you’ve been holed up in this study for hours,” I said.“I had a lot of work to catch up on,” he replied.“I know that but that doesn’t mean I can’t try to distract you,” I told him. “I think we’re long overdue for something else.”He smirked at me. “Really? What is it?”

Melanie’s POVAlice and I spent the rest of the day together chatting in the living room while Adriano was upstairs doing God knows what.He did join us downstairs for dinner, looking freshly showered and I wanted to take him upstairs and lick him all over because of how delicious he looked but I focused on dinner.I helped, Alice clean up before I finally excused myself upstairs to take a shower. Adriano wasn’t in the room which means that he was in his study.I showered and changed into shorts and one of Adriano’s t-shirts before I settled in bed to call the girls.Now that the weekend was almost over, ignoring them was no longer an option so I put a group video chat and they both answered like they have been waiting for my call.“It’s about time, bitch!” Hayley said the moment her face filled the screen.“I see you’re back from la la land,” Aria added. “You abandoned us just because of a man.”I laughed

Melanie’s POVThe flight home was peaceful even though I spent most of the flight alone.When we boarded, Adriano told me he had a phone conference and I encouraged him to go ahead and join the teleconference when I saw that he was willing to postpone the conference on my behalf.He had already done a lot for me this weekend and I didn’t want to keep him from the rest of his responsibilities. People depended on him and of course he had to deliver.The group chat with the girls had been blowing up non-stop over the weekend after, Aria let it loose that Adriano took me on a thanksgiving trip.She ganged up with Hayley and have been badgering me for details all weekend but I wasn’t about to interrupt my time with my family so I sent them a message three days ago telling them that I would talk to them after the weekend.That didn’t deter them from sending messages on the group chat constantly.

Melanie’s POVMom was staring at us with a bright smile on her face and I was blushing so hard that I was pretty sure my face was red.“You both are just so cute,” she said. “It reminds me of when your father and I just started dating. Those were good times.”“Woman I still woo you regularly,” Dad said, walking into the kitchen.“Is the food not ready?” Danny piped up and Mom glared at him.“If you’re so hungry maybe I should leave you to make breakfast then,” Mom said, then she turned to Dad and Adriano."You all need to get your asses out of my kitchen. Melanie and I are almost done with breakfast but we won't make progress if you all keep hovering around here," she said.“You sure you don’t need any help?” Adriano asked.“I’m sure, honey, now get our,” Mom ordered.“Bossy as ever I see,” Dad mumbled and gave Mom a quick kiss on the cheeks before turning back and walking out behind, Danny wh

Melanie’s POVWatching, Adriano interact with my family, I wondered why I was ever nervous.My worry about whether or not they were going to like him was moot because he had them all charmed. Even Dad who was a bit hesitant yesterday had warmed up to him.In other words, he had them eating out of the palm of his hand. Also, I was pretty sure my brother idolized him with the way he kept asking him questions throughout the night and regaling him with football stories.The day after thanksgiving, I was helping my mom make breakfast while the rest of the house slept. We had a late night yesterday so it wasn’t a surprise that they were still asleep but not my mom.Mom had always been an early riser no matter the time she went to sleep, she always woke up the same time every day, like clockwork.We worked together silently in the kitchen, this time with no one to interrupt us anytime soon, I knew that I was going to hear all she’

Adriano’s POVThe scent of spiced apple pie hit me as soon as we stepped inside Melanie’s childhood home. It was warm and cozy in a way I didn’t think houses could be anymore. I grew up in a warm and cozy home but I soon learned that not all homes were like mine. Pictures lined the walls, memories frozen in time. Her mom, Roselyn, had been very welcoming. Melanie had once told me that her family was affectionate, but still, I wasn’t expecting this level of hospitality. Her father, on the other hand, was another story. He’d shaken my hand firmly, his eyes narrowing just enough to let me know he was sizing me up. It didn’t bother me. Hell, I respected it. If I had a daughter like Melanie, I’d do the same thing, I might even go overboard with it and try to scare the boy away but I didn’t get scared easily so he was just going to have to tolerate me in his house and his daughter’s life.Her brother, Danny, was a wild one.

Melanie’s POVThe wheels of the plane hit the runway with a soft thud, and I exhaled a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. Adriano’s hand slid over mine as the plane taxied along the runway, his fingers warm and firm. “Relax, Tesoro,” he murmured, his voice low and soothing. “We’ve landed.” I turned to him, his dark eyes drawing me in as they always did. “I’m relaxed,” I lied, though the tight grip I had on his hand betrayed me. The corner of his mouth tilted up in that knowing smirk that drove me crazy, in both the best and worst ways. "Sure you are, little nurse. You look very convincing.” The pilot announced over the intercom that we could disembark and we stood. We landed on another private airstrip but I could tell it was an extension of the bustling Austin airport.The flight attendants had already carried our bags into a parked SUV. I couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nerves.
