Chapter Forty-Seven: Something Better.

It confuses me when he says words like ‘anything but’. They make me feel like I am the exception. Like I have a chance with him when, at the end of the day, I am probably just a tool to satisfy his curiosity.

"Then promise me that whatever happens between us, you'll protect my mother and sister.”

"What?”

"You heard me.”

I say, refusing to cower when his scowl deepens.

"I did, but it sounds as if you are-”

"As if I am preparing for the day you 'tire' of me? I am, so promise me and our relationship will be back on track for however long we have left."

"You won't leave me."

"Promise me, Matteo."

I insist, ignoring the desperation in his voice; who knows how many women have fallen for that?

"I'll send some people tomorrow."

"Thank you, goodnight."

His free hand glides to my waist when I try to pull away. The shudders that erupt from my body distract me from his sudden kiss that drowns all my depressive thoughts.

His tongue pushes against mine, claiming the space it occupied fo
Undercover Ostrich.

I hope you are enjoying the story so far. I am debating whether to include a bonus. I am still not sure, but if I were to write one, which theme would you want to read? (LMAO, don't forget that in bonus stories, happy endings are not guaranteed) ( ̄y▽, ̄)╭
