Thank you all so much for the comments on the last chapter. It meant a lot for me. ❤️
ROSALINE I pulled my blood stained shirt off gently and looked at Russo who was getting rid of the blood soaked shirt he had on. I hadn't let him go back in there to finish up like he had said he wanted to. I had insisted that he come home with me right away because I needed him and I was glad he came home with me. Diane was still asleep and I wanted us both clean from the blood before the little girl would wake up. "Cara" Russo's hands gently touched my waist and I shut my eyes lightly at the feel of his fingers. It made me feel at peace and I didn't hesitate before leaning in to his bare chest and feeling the warm of him. He wrapped his arms around me."Russo" I whispered his name. "Let's take a bath together" I whispered and he took a step back almost instantly. I grumbled the loss of his warmth around me. "No, Cara. You go take a bath first and I'll go in after you or I'll go use another room." He said and my brows furrowed. I turned back to face him, the look of confusion
ROSALINE I was frozen against the wall, my ears ringing and my heart thumping at the words I had just heard. I knew it. I just knew that it wasn't supposed to be a date only! "You..." I found my voice under his searching eyes. "You were going to ask me to marry you? Not just become your girlfriend officially?" I asked and he pressed up against me, making me feel the hard on from his completely drenched trousers. "I know what I want, Cara. And you also want me, there's no need to take the longer route, is there?"My heart was pounding. He was right. I was never going to let go of him so why in the world should we take the longer route?!"I... Well, you said you wanted to ask me to marry you. Do you still want to ask me to marry you? I mean, is the proposal still valid?" I asked, my words a jumble. My brain was turning into a mush at this point and it wasn't my fault!"You know that proposal is forever valid" he lifted my chin up with a finger. I couldn't take the burst of joy in m
AUTHOR'S POVRick sat at the diner, phone on the table and a bag by his side. It took only about a minute of waiting before Melinda walked in the diner door. Her eyes looked around for a second before they settled on Rick. She walked over to him and sat opposite him. "Are you okay?" Was her first question. She had a worried expression on her face. "Well, quite so" Rick shrugged his shoulders lightly."You've been distant for the past few days and you don't look too good" Melinda noted out, referring to the bruises on his face and Rick simply pressed his lips into a thin line for the next few seconds. "Should I have remained close, then?" He finally spoke, directing his gaze to her. "Tim is no longer with me. He... He is unwilling to let go of what happened." Melinda sighed softly. "As it should be. You ruined whatever was left of this entire friendship, Melinda." Rick accused. "Don't put the entire blame on me" Melinda shook her head lightly. "Then whom do I put it on? Tim? Fo
ROSALINE "She's so adorable, isn't she? I had so much fun today. Making her happy made me happy too." I giggled as we walked into our room, Russo's hands on my waist. "Seeing you this happy makes me happy too, fairy godmother" Russo said with a chuckle. I was still dressed in the fairy godmother costume and still had the wand in hand. "Come, come over here" I motioned him to come stand in front of me.His hands slid, changing position until he was in front of me, holding my waist still. The fact that he wasn't letting go of my waist made me feel sweet. "This sweet fairy is going to bless you" "Hmm, and how am I getting blessed?" He asked, a hint of smile on his face. "With a beautiful sprinkle of happiness" I waved the wand all over him. "The wand isn't enough to give me happiness""Really? Then what will make you happy?""The fairy herself" he replied and picked me up from the floor. I laughed softly as he lifted me and didn't let go until he dropped me on the bed and got ab
The Wedding ROSALINE MASSIMO With gentle and steady steps, I walked down the aisle. Every step I took was calculated. The wedding organising had included the aisle walk training. My dress flowed down and with every step, the several yards of dress flowed after me. A sparkly white dress, with red roses splashed all over the flowing part of it. My gaze was fixated on Russo who was standing at the altar, waiting for me. He was staring at me with a loving look on his face and I couldn't stop the smile on my face too even though my smiles could not be seen under the veil I was wearing. In the past, if I ever pictured a wedding, it would be Russo walking me down the aisle to another man but it was the opposite now and I couldn't be happier. The venue had been beautifully decorated to specifically match my taste. A warm golden light lit up the place and the aisle, long and spread with rose flowers. I was holding a bouquet of Juliet roses. I finally got to Russo and he reached a
PIETRO GIACOMETTI I hated the noise. No matter how quiet they tried to be, they could not be quiet enough for me. I didn't just hate the noise, I hated the smiles on their faces and I hated how free they were, running around. If there was anything I wanted to do right now, I wanted to tie them all to a tree and drench them in fuel and watch them shake in fright while I played with a lighter. The children of the workers in our home. My mother was the reason they were here, she was the only one who thought it was a good idea to have a home built for all our workers, where they could live with their family. I shaded the drawing I was making. A drawing of a dying man with his toes chopped off. The inspiration for the drawing? Watching my dad chop toes off a pathetic man last night. "Who are you?" I heard the children ask in one loud voice. I raised my gaze and saw them gathered around a tree. A little girl was sitting under the tree, a drawing book in her hands too. I had never not
ROSALINE"You still don't have a boyfriend. When are you ever going to have one?" Tim, one of my friends shot the question. "Don't get me started about a boyfriend. Don't just get me started on it, Tim" I replied immediately, shooting him a glare which I knew would not stop him from continuing the topic anyways. "C'mon, you are like 24 with almost zero dating experience. What the hell is that?" Tim asked with a small laugh. "I will never understand Rosaline" Melinda shook her head, dropping her glass of wine and then running a hand through her blonde hair. "Y'all let her breathe" Rick cut in. "Don't you... Don't you get sexual urges?" Tim went on anyways. "Just shut up now and focus on your girl" I shot him a more serious glare and that seemed to shut him up as he pressed his lips into a thin line. The answer though was... Yes I did. I did get sexual urges and yes I didn't exactly want to be 24 with zero dating experience but I just could not help it. It had to be this way. I
RUSSO EL MASSIMODo you know what it feels like to have the wrong feelings for the wrong person? What it feels like to feel an undeniable attraction and lust for someone you should just protect and care for?Now, do you know what it feels like to stay five years away from that person to ensure that attraction and lust dies? And then come back and the very first time you lay your eyes on that person, she is naked, her beautiful legs spread wide and a finger of hers buried in her pussy?The first time I would be setting my eyes on Sunshine after five years and she is having an orgasm in front of me. This single sight puts to waste quickly my five years of staying away from her. I could feel all of that attraction and lust rushing back into me. "Sunshine" the word was a groan as I remained at her door. She had finished cumming and her hands scurried for the sheets. "No" I stopped her, my voice gruffer than I intended it to be. Fuck! I didn't even intend to tell her to stop. She had
