When we finally separate, Ezra rests his head against my chest and breathes heavily. I run my fingers through his hair and start rubbing circles on his back."Are you okay?" I ask quietly."Yeah, I just... I just wanted to get lost in you." He murmurs, pressing his lips to my chest.I chuckle softly, wrapping my arm around his shoulders."You always did get lost in me." I joke, nuzzling his cheek."Maybe." He agrees, giving me an amused grin. "Although maybe this time I'll find something to keep me away from you. If only for a little longer."A strange feeling comes over me. Not unpleasant, but certainly unexpected. For a moment I feel guilty. But then again why should I? That was just a joke. Right?It hasn't escaped my notice that neither of us has mentioned the previous night, not yet. I try to pretend it doesn't bother me, but it does. The whole thing was a little uncomfortable. It felt odd for both of us to go back to the way we were. Especially since it was obvious we weren't
"Wait, Ezra" I murmur."Hmm?" He responds.I sigh and lean forward, brushing his lips with mine."Thank you for telling me. But I need you to understand that nothing you say tonight is going to change how I feel. If anything, you made me fall even harder for you."I say the last part in my most reassuring voice and Ezra grins."Okay." He murmurs softly."Okay?" I repeat incredulously."Alright, I won't push anymore questions. But promise me that if you ever want to talk about it, you'll come to me. No matter what, okay?" I ask anxiously."Of course" He replies. "Now come on, let's finish this mystery story before we go to bed" He adds, pulling me closer to kiss me once more.As we read through the rest of the book, I find myself starting to relax and laugh at all the ridiculous plot points, enjoying watching Ezra's reaction. I can't believe we've spent months without each other and now we're spending two weeks together. Even though things haven't been easy lately, I've gotten used t
We walk over to his apartment building as soon as we finish walking. Once we enter the lobby, we stop and stand silently in front of the elevator. I look at the doors nervously, unsure of what I should do. Should I wait inside with him? Are we supposed to get up to our floor now? Or should I wait outside until he's ready?"Ezra? Are you alright?" I ask quietly.He glances back at me and nods slowly."Yeah. Yeah. Don't worry about it. Why don't you go ahead, I'll follow you in a second." He whispers softly, squeezing my hand.I nod hesitantly and slowly turn around, stepping into the elevator.After a few moments of waiting, the doors open and we step out onto the second floor, heading towards his apartment door. I look at his apartment number before knocking on the door."Come in." Comes a soft voice from behind the door.I hesitate for a moment before twisting the knob and pushing open the door, peeking inside. The apartment is pretty empty and looks like it hasn't been lived in for
"I'm sorry. I should go." I murmur, grabbing my purse and keys from the countertop.I walk over to the door and look at Ezra expectantly, waiting for him to say goodbye. When he doesn't, I finally turn around and raise my eyes to meet his."Why don't you come with me?" I ask in surprise, raising my eyebrows."What?" He asks confusedly."Well, why don't we go somewhere together? Like out for lunch or something. Just the two of us."Ezra stares at me with a mixture of astonishment and hope filling his beautiful blue eyes. His heart is beating rapidly beneath his pale skin. I feel my own heartbeat accelerating too. I know he doesn't like me very much, especially after our fight. He doesn't like the idea of spending time alone with me. He doesn't like being close to me and I'm aware of that, but I think I might be starting to change his mind.We're still standing in silence when Ezra finally nods his head slowly and stands up. He grabs his jacket from the coat rack near the door and put
"I love you too." he mutters in a low voice before connecting our lips once again.Our tongues dance passionately against each other's as Ezra slides his hands under my shirt, caressing my bare skin with his fingers. A shiver runs down my spine, causing goose bumps to form on my skin. I place one of my hands behind his neck while the other holds onto his hair tightly, wanting to feel Ezra's warm touch against my two feminine parts.His fingers start caressing my pink crest slowly, making me gasp loudly at the contact. His thumb gently rubs my hardened nipple, causing another shiver to run down my spine. My whole body feels hot all of a sudden. My breathing becomes labored and my body starts trembling uncontrollably. Ezra seems to notice my discomfort as he stops caressing my two feminine parts and places kisses all over my face, stopping on my lips as he presses his lips to mine briefly, then running his tongue lightly across my bottom lip. I push myself up slightly so that my bac
So instead, I keep watching him, mesmerized by his beauty. The moonlight glows softly outside my window casting an ethereal glow on his skin and making his dark brown curls shine in contrast. His lips are slightly parted as he breathes evenly. I reach out my hand and brush some strands of hair away from his face. I lean down to place a feather light kiss on the tip of his nose before closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep as well.The next morning, we finally end up staying the night.When I woke up, I was surprised to discover that I wasn't alone."Mmm…where did you go last night? You left really early." I mumble sleepily.Ezra chuckles slightly and rolls over on his side to face me."Oh, yeah." He says, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes as he sits up."Where'd you go? Didn't you wanna tell me where you went?" I ask, sitting up as well."Yeah, I did. But I had to take care of something first."He moves away from the bed slightly and reaches into one of the pockets of his jeans,
We move together in rhythm, Ezra's mouth never stopping from attacking my neck. He begins kissing down to my collarbone, sucking gently on my flesh. As he does that, his hand travels downwards, cupping my already throbbing sex. He slips a finger inside me before starting to pump in and out of me steadily. I gasp slightly as my back arches and Ezra moans, lowering his head to bite down hard on my breasts, causing me to let out a muffled cry of pleasure. He lifts his head again, grinning widely at me as I continue to writhe against him, my fingers tangled in his hair. He leans down and bites my two feminine parts lightly before pulling them between his teeth. I let out a loud groan, feeling myself building up again, ready to explode. Ezra pulls his cock out and rests it on the edge of my stomach, slowly pumping in and out of me. I close my eyes and bite down on my lip, enjoying the intense pleasure flooding throughout my body. I feel a sudden sharp pain piercing through my abdomen a
"That sounds wonderful." I nod.He takes my hand in his and leads me towards the table in the dining room. When we reach it, he plops down on one side and pats the spot beside him. I sit down beside him and watch him begin to cut the bread, making sure not to cut himself. He puts some butter on the piece of bread and places it on my plate before taking a bit of his own piece. I glance over at Ezra, noticing the faint blush on his cheeks. I grin teasingly and put my hand on the countertop and lean over until our faces are mere inches apart."Good morning." I murmur quietly against his lips.He blushes a deep red."Morning." he murmurs back, his voice sounding breathy and low.I smirk and grab a piece of the bread off his plate, nibbling at it delicately. He watches me with bright blue eyes, smiling. "Stop distracting me." he whispers.I bite my bottom lip and keep eating. "You really are cute when you're jealous. I'm not going to distract you, you're the one distracting me."A chuc
"Here it is." She said giving him the jacket.Riccardo puts it on and turns around to face her."Thanks."She smiled sweetly at him."Where do you want me to carry you?" She asked."You can carry me over your shoulder." Riccardo said.Alessia roll her eyes."You know, I'M NOT THAT BABY. YOU CAN DO IT WITH YOUR OWN TWO HANDS AND DON'T ASK ME TO PUT MY BACK ON YOU OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT."Riccardo looks surprised at how fast she reacted after what he said."Alright, whatever you say." He chuckled.And so Alessia carried him over her shoulders.As they were going towards the elevator Riccardo spoke."So, are you going back to work tomorrow?" He asks."I think so. My boss told me that she wanted me to come back to work as early as possible." She answered."That means I'll be able to spend more time with you, won't it?" He asked."Yeah, probably, but don't expect me to kiss you every time that you come home." Alessia joked.Riccardo laughs at her comment."Ok." He says "Well, I guess we sh
The next morning, Alessia woke up early. After getting ready quickly she went downstairs to see Riccardo waiting for her."Morning, baby girl," he greets her and give her a peck on the cheek."Morning, Riccardo." She replied as she sits on the table."Let's have breakfast together, I made you breakfast earlier." He said.She gave him a small smile."Thank you."After eating their breakfast, they decided to walk through the city. They walked hand in hand. It felt natural for them. When they reach near the park, they decided to sit on one of the benches."Have you been planning this for long?" Asked Alessia."Yeah, since last month. Why?""Nothing."Alessia leans her head against his shoulder. As they continue walking, Alessia couldn't hold it anymore."Do you really want to adopt my babies?" She asks."Of course I do." He answers without any hesitation."But I mean, why did you choose us?" Riccardo sigh."Honestly, I don't know. It's all I dream about for years." He paused. "When I wa
"That's a very valid question. And I don't blame you at all for missing me, Alessia. But don't feel guilty, okay? I would never be mad at you or upset if you ever thought about coming back to me. In fact, if you do decide to return, we'll talk more about this situation, alright?" She requested with a small smile.As soon as I heard the words we will talk being said aloud, I felt slightly relieved. However, it only lasted for a short amount of time because I immediately thought about what Ezra had said to me the night before. He had asked me to wait until tomorrow to give myself a chance to talk about the things that troubled me, so now, I was starting to wonder whether my decision to wait was a good idea. I decided I needed to ask her about it."Actually, I need to ask you something...about yesterday afternoon," I said nervously."What is it?" she asked curiously."I don't know how to word it exactly...but I have these weird feelings...and I'm beginning to think that maybe I should r
"This was a really fun game, Alessia. I think I'm going to enjoy playing it more often," she mentioned, smiling genuinely."Me too. And I'm glad you enjoyed yourself today. I missed you playing poker," I admitted."And I missed you too, Alessia. Thank you for everything you did. We wouldn't have survived without you," she said sincerely.Just then, someone knocked on the door and announced Ezra's arrival. A moment later, he entered the room with an excited smile plastered across his face."Sorry I'm late. I got caught up on a case and had to do overtime," he apologized."It's alright. You were lucky that it was only one extra hour," she commented.I gave Ezra a quick hug, while everyone else congratulated him on finally arriving back."Wow, you smell great!" I commented, noticing how fresh his hair smelled."Thanks. That means a lot to me," he said happily.We all then headed out of the house, saying our farewells. As we reached their car, I noticed the car seats had been removed and
We both got up and made our way down the hallway to the kitchen. There, I saw our family eating together. They all looked quite happy and excited. My heart filled with happiness upon seeing everyone looking so content. It was truly a perfect family.As soon as I arrived downstairs, I spotted them sitting together at one of the stools at the kitchen counter. I walked over to them and took a seat beside her."Hey," I greeted."Hey," Ezra responded."I'm sorry for waking you," I apologies."Oh, it's not a problem. I didn't mind getting up early anyway," She stated cheerfully, waving her hand dismissively.I chuckled softly to myself and turned my attention towards my mum who was busy cooking breakfast."Mum, please don't cook too much. I might not be able to handle it after all," I pleaded.She chuckled."There's plenty more where that came from," she reassured me."Thank God," I whispered in relief.Alessia suddenly jumped up from her seat and ran out of the room, running past me and a
Without saying another word, I followed him into the bedroom, closing the door behind me as I did so. I laid down on the bed and he crawled onto the mattress and pressed a kiss against my forehead. I immediately melted into his embrace. My eyelids started to droop tiredly. Dan chuckled and kissed my temple."Go to sleep, Alessia," he ordered softly.I hummed contently and closed my eyes, relaxing into his touch. Soon enough, my breathing slowed and deepened until it eventually stopped altogether. Ezra smiled to himself as he looked down at me, admiring my peaceful expression. I was sleeping soundly in his arms. The events of yesterday were finally catching up with me and I could barely keep myself from falling asleep. The exhaustion was setting in and I could barely keep my eyes open. I sighed softly as Ezra rubbed circles against my hip soothingly.He leaned forward and rested his chin atop my head, gently brushing away the strands of my loose hair and placing a gentle kiss on th
"Okay, love, I get it. Let's not talk too much and just get ready for breakfast. Then we should probably hurry up and eat before everyone arrives," he said playfully.I nodded and smiled.I felt so loved by Ezra. He gave me more joy than anything else in this world. Even though I'd never admit it out loud, he was definitely the most important person to me in this world. Every time I thought about losing him, my heart broke and I felt so empty. All I wanted to do was hug him tightly and tell him how much I loved him. I had never had anyone give me unconditional love Ever.I had never experienced that type of warmth. I was used to people only caring about the fame I brought them. It scared me to think that someone would ever care about me. And that they would love me unconditionally.I shook my head to clear my thoughts and glanced up at Ezra nervously. There was no way I would be able to hide the emotion in my eyes if I dared to speak. The words seemed stuck somewhere in my throat."
"Marry me," he muttered between heavy breaths."Huh? Why?" I questioned, staring up at him in confusion."Because...because I want you to marry me," he repeated.I gasped quietly in shock, unable to speak a word. Dan's dark eyes were filled with determination as he stared at me intently.ToYah, yah, yes! Of course, I'll marry you!" I blurted out hurriedly.I immediately slapped a hand over my mouth. My voice had come out so loud and I could tell that Ezra had definitely heard me. I bit my lip anxiously and glanced over at him nervously. But surprisingly, he didn't react at all he merely chuckled softly and kissed me tenderly on the lips."Good girl," he murmured softly. "Now come here," he added.I reluctantly crawled towards him. Once I was close enough, he pulled me into a tight embrace and hugged me tightly."Are you okay?" he asked worriedly."Yeah, I'm alright," I assured him.I couldn't believe I had just proposed to Ezra. Sure, I'd always known that it would eventually happen,
"I love you so much," he whispered in my ear before pressing his lips against mine.I felt my cheeks flush brightly again and I closed my eyes in anticipation. As soon as our lips connected, I felt my senses begin to dull and my body relax. All of my worries and problems melted away, leaving nothing but bliss behind them. Nothing mattered except for Ezra."I love you too," I replied softly.After a moment, I pulled away, breaking apart our kiss. I took a deep breath and exhaled loudly."So...are we going back to watching TV now?" I asked hopefully.He chuckled softly."We can continue watching whatever you want," he replied. "However, are you sure that you're alright?" he questioned.A part of me wanted to lie and say everything was fine, but I knew that I couldn't do it. I couldn't hide the truth from Ezra. Besides, he probably already suspected something, judging by the look in his eyes. So, I decided to answer honestly instead."Honestly? No. Not really. I' m just tired," I admit
