Catherine’s POV

The veins at my temples throbbed with an intense ache, as blinding rays of the sun shone on my closed eyes, causing me to instinctively reach beside me, to bury my face in Alessandro's massive biceps.

However, I was stunned when I realized that the other side of the bed was not only unoccupied but also cold.

Winking an eye open, I looked around the room, and let out a sigh of relief upon discovering that I was in mine and Alessandro's bedroom.

I was about to sit up and recall how I had ended up in bed after work, when I felt someone grab my hand, forcing me to squeeze my eyes open.

“You finally came to, baby,” Alessandro said, worry evident on his handsome face. “How are you feeling right now?”

“My head hurts and my throat feels dry,” I croaked out, as he caressed the back of my hand softly, then pressed a kiss to it.

“I'm so sorry this is happening to you, my love,” He said, pressing my palm to his cheek. “I'm sorry, baby. Please forgive me, I'll do a better job of p

He had been gone for five days now and was due to return in three days, and to say I missed him was pure understatement.Waking up to his side of the bed getting colder as the days flew by stirred a pit of misery within me.It felt like I could barely function without him, as I was also on a work leave currently.“Hi,” I responded. “How was your day?”“It was good, yours?” He asked. “Have you eaten yet? Did the twins behave well? Do they miss me? Do you miss me?”Smiling, I nodded even though he couldn't see me. “Yes to all your questions. I miss you babe.”“Yeah?” His voice dropped to a dangerously low octave that turned me on in one second.“Yes,” I forced out, placing my phone beside me

    Alessandro’s POV I heaved a sigh of reprieve as warm water from the showerhead trickled down my body and eased my aching nerves.Earlier today, I had attended a total of five business conferences, and to say I was exhausted was beyond an understatement.Thankfully, sexting with my wife had relieved a bit of my stress, but that only made me miss her even more.At that moment, I craved nothing more than to be inside Catherine's ever welcoming core while inhaling her gentle flowery scent.God, I missed my wife so damm much.Coming out of the bathroom, I heard the doorbell ring.Furrowing my brows in confusion, I wondered if I had ordered room service without recalling, because I wasn't expecting anyone.“Who's there?” I asked, walking to the door.“Your wife,” Catherine's soft voice wafted into the room, and I couldn't believe my ears.Catherine was here? How was that even possible?Was I missing her so much that I was now having hallucinations?Regardless, I opened the door and to my u

As if reading my thoughts, the shower in the bathroom started running and I instantly deduced where Alessandro was.My lips twitched with a smile as I recalled the events of the night before. Alessandro and I had breathtaking, marathon sex and had accomplished orgasms after orgasms both separately and together.After he welcomed me by fucking me on the bed.
