Leonardo opened the car door, and Sofia got in the back seat. He quickly followed her, and Mark closed the door and sat in the front passenger seat. Leonardo turned to Sofia with a softer expression on his face.

"How are you feeling? Are... you ok?" He asked, looking into Sofia's eyes. Sofia couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort as she gazed into his kind and caring gaze. His eyes were the most beautiful she had seen since her mother's.

Sofia's voice trembled as she managed to gather the courage to ask him the question that had been gnawing at her mind. "What... What just happened?"

In a calm yet grave tone, he replied, "Sofia, there was a shot. Someone has targeted you."

The words hit her like a ton of bricks, and her eyes widened in shock and disbelief. She had never imagined that the things she had only heard about in movies and books could actually happen to her.

Leonardo's stern gaze remained fixed on Sofia's face as he assured her, "Rest assured, you have no need to worry

    Leonardo couldn't help but notice Sofia's perplexed expression and wondered if she was thinking about their wedding night. He regretted acting like a demon that day and scaring her. He couldn't help but think that maybe she regretted marrying him or had negative thoughts about him."I am sorry, baby girl. I was drunk last night," he said hesitantly, rubbing his nape in embarrassment. Sofia bit her lips nervously. Leonardo couldn't take his eyes off her even though she seemed to be scared."I won't do anything, Sofia. I promise. At least not without your consent," Leonardo assured her desperately, hoping to ease her worries. "I respect you and your boundaries." He wanted her eyes back on him. He yearned so badly.Leonardo gently patted the soft comforter of the queen-sized bed, beckoning Sofia to join him. Without hesitation, she obliged and positioned herself on the right side of the bed, her back facing towards him. As she nestled into the plush pillows, she curled up into a tight b

    It was a usual morning, and Sofia was getting ready for a meeting early in the day. Leonardo had cautioned her not to overwork herself, and she had assured him she was fine and wouldn’t let anything happen to the baby. They hadn’t told Vincenzo and Lucia about her pregnancy yet, deciding to wait a few months before announcing it to the family.Suddenly, Sofia’s phone rang—it was her gynecologist. Her heart instantly filled with unease, as Dr. Martinez didn’t usually call her directly.“Hey, Doc,” Sofia answered.“Good morning, Sofia,” Dr. Martinez’s voice came through the speaker. “How are you feeling today?”“I’m fine, Doctor,” Sofia replied skeptically. “What’s wrong?”There was a brief pause before Dr. Martinez sighed. “Sofia, can you come to my clinic today?”“Okay…” Sofia answered, her grip tightening on the phone.“And don’t come alone, okay?” Dr. Martinez advised.Sofia’s heart started pounding. “Doctor, is everything alright with my pregnancy?” she asked, her voice laced with

    “Nope! You’re not keeping your feet on the floor, angel,” he declared with a smug grin.“This is getting too much, Leonardo,” she scolded, frowning.His deep laughter echoed in the bathroom as he set her down on her feet.“But you only have me, and there’s no other option, wife,” he winked, kissing her passionately before leaving her alone in the bathroom.Sofia sighed, smiling at her husband’s overwhelming display of love, and closed the door. Just as she was about to turn on the water, she heard his voice again from the other side.“I’ll be waiting for you, darling.”Today, her mood was exceptionally bright, and she felt optimistic about everything. If she and Leonardo could stay like this, everything would be wonderful. She took a long shower to relax her sore muscles from last night’s passionate lovemaking, washed her hair, and brushed her teeth. After wrapping herself in a fluffy bathrobe and getting ready for the office, she walked downstairs to the dining hall.There, she found

    The next morning, Sofia woke to the enticing aroma of coffee and freshly baked croissants, accompanied by her husband's deep, sexy voice."Good morning, angel," Leonardo greeted her. Before she could fully open her sleepy eyes, his warm, soft lips pressed against hers as he murmured, "I love you so much, sunshine."Wow. That was a surprising change. She was so used to waking up before him, making coffee, and preparing breakfast while he got ready for the office. She couldn't help but wonder what had caused this unexpected shift—had the sun risen in the west today?“Umm, what’s the occasion?” she asked teasingly, slipping the cover off her half-naked body. Her movement didn’t go unnoticed, and she watched as Leonardo took a sharp inhale, his eyes lingering on her breasts before flickering back to her face.“What do you mean, angel?” he asked softly, and to her shock, there wasn’t a hint of irritation in his tone.Hmm… someone’s in a good mood. But who was she fooling? She loved waking

    As he gathered Sofia in his arms, she shifted to her side, snuggling against him, soft and instantly willing to cuddle. It felt incredible to have her so close, trusting him enough to hold her when she was vulnerable as if he were her protective shield.Stroking his palm across her skin, he traced a slow path down her back, over the curve of her ass, and along her thigh. Needing more of her warmth, he lifted her leg over his hip, pressing kisses along her shoulder, up her neck, and taking teasing nips at her earlobe. Her eyes widened with a flicker of surprise—and rekindled arousal.He sent her a knowing smile before brushing his lips against hers. "Ready?""Hmm," she hummed, a sweet smile playing on her lips.Leonardo pressed his mouth to hers again, nudging her lips open. The moment she parted for him, he invaded deeply, fusing their mouths together. Rolling her onto her back, he aligned himself with her entrance, teasing her with slow, deliberate strokes.He pushed forward, gliding

    Leonardo hovered over his sexy wife, positioning himself between her legs. Sofia propped herself up on her elbows, her darkened eyes heavy with desire. He moved closer, pressing her into the mattress, his restraint barely holding as he ached to fit his hips between her spread thighs and thrust inside her.Instead, he focused on her hard, juicy nipples, lavishing them with attention. His mouth found one, then the other, drawing each into the heat of his tongue and lips, eliciting sharp, breathy gasps from her. He let his lips travel lower, trailing kisses down her soft skin until he reached his destination—her glistening, pink pussy, waiting right under his mouth.She was soaked, swollen, her clit peeking out, eager for attention.Leonardo cupped her gently, watching as she shuddered, her eyes fluttering closed, a long, agonized breath escaping her lips.“Leonardo…” she whimpered.“Yes, baby? I’m here,” he murmured, his voice thick with lust. “And I’m staying here for a long, satisfyin

    Leonardo clenched his jaw, his restraint hanging by a thread. The way her body moved, the way she tested him—it was dangerous. She was playing with fire. His fingers trailed down the sleek curve of her spine, shuddering. With slow, deliberate movements, Sofia sat up and slid down his body, her thighs settling over his, her soft curves on full display. The sight of her alone was enough to wreck him.His gaze darkened as he took her in—the high curve of her breasts, the delicate dip of her waist, the sheer perfection of her bare skin. But she wasn’t admiring herself. No, she was admiring him. Her fingers traced the ridges of his abdomen, wandering lower, dragging over every hard contour as if memorizing him. The innocent curiosity in her touch sent a jolt of raw electricity through his veins.Then she went lower.Her fingers slipped beneath the waistband of his pants, a single teasing touch tracing the thick length of his cock. A growl rumbled in Leonardo’s chest, primal and deep. His

    His smirk sharpened. “My sexy wife, when did you become so demanding in bed?”Sofia whimpered in frustration, and that was all the permission he needed. He sealed his mouth around her breast once more, taking, consuming, until she was writhing beneath him, her breath coming in sharp gasps.She dug her nails into his scalp. “Oh my God, Leonardo...”His teeth scraped over her sensitive bud, a wicked promise of pleasure-pain, before he released her with a firm, teasing pull. “Something you want to say, sweetheart?”She blinked up at him, dazed, lips parting as though words had abandoned her. Then, in a breathless whisper—so desperate, so needy—she murmured, "Just… more."Leonardo’s eyes darkened with satisfaction. “You like it harder?”Her silence made him chuckle. He dragged his thumb over her pebbled nipple, waiting, pushing. “Tell me, Sofia,” he demanded, his voice low and authoritative.She shuddered beneath him, lips parting in a soundless plea, her damp eyes locked onto his with unr

    Her breath hitched, a delicious tremor running through her as he pinched harder.“Do you want me to watch you writhe for me?” he continued, his fingers toying with her already hardening nipple. “Do you want me to hear you scream my name when I make you mine?”Sofia whimpered, her hands fisting against his bare chest, nails scraping lightly as she shivered from his touch.“You have such a dirty mouth, hubby,” she panted.“And you love every filthy word that comes out of it,” he smirked, rolling her nipple between his fingers with deliberate roughness.She bit her lip, eyes gleaming with mischief, and in one smooth motion, she pushed him back just enough to peel off the delicate lace dress.Leonardo stilled, his gaze locked onto her, taking in every inch of the perfection before him. The swells of her bare breasts, the soft dip of her waist, the smooth, peachy skin that begged to be marked by his touch.His jaw clenched, his need sharpening into something primal.“Fuck,” he muttered, vo

    Sofia’s delicate hands slid around Leonardo’s neck, her soft fingers threading into his hair as she pulled herself flush against him. The moment her lips met his, the world around them ceased to exist. The fatigue, the grievances, the lingering tension between them—none of it mattered anymore.Her kiss wasn’t just a kiss; it was a firestorm, an undeniable surge of raw, unrestrained need. It had been too long. Too damn long since he’d had her like this—since she had melted into him since her body had trembled with desire beneath his touch.A sharp inhale did nothing to steady the molten lust coursing through his veins. Control was slipping, burning away like paper in an inferno.With a low growl, Leonardo tightened his grip around her waist and twisted, flipping her beneath him in one swift, effortless motion. He caged her against the headboard, his broad frame pressing her down as he claimed her mouth with renewed hunger.Sofia gasped, her breath hitching as she arched instinctively i
