"Of course I'm here, my love," I murmured fervently. "Wild horses couldn't have kept me away a moment longer. Only you."

Natalia finally leaned back, eyes shining. Behind her, I noticed her friend watching our emotional embrace with a mix of curiosity and knowing delight.

Clearing my throat gruffly, I nodded in greeting. "Apologies for barging in unexpectedly. But I couldn't stand to be without you one more day."

Natalia turned back to me. "Well. Looks like you're stuck with me now," she informed me impishly.

"However will I endure such a fate?" I teased. But my heart felt fit to burst seeing her vibrant smile directed at me again.

Still I had to be sure, after coming here so spontaneously. "Truly though, I can leave if you wish," I assured more gently. "I understand if my presence causes complications."

But Natalia just took my face tenderly in her hands. "Don't you dare go anywhere, Leonardo Delacruz. We've been kept apart far too long already."

The remaining wall around my heart crumbled at her fervent words. I crushed Natalia against me urgently, our mouths finding each other in a dizzying kiss that stole my breath. The heady taste of her sent all thoughts fleeing, rationality reduced to sheer primal need.

Natalia melted into me just as fiercely, nipping sharply at my lower lip in a way that made me groan. I slid my hands lower to grasp her supple curves in that sinful red dress, eliciting a pleased hum that vibrated against my lips.

"God Natalia, the things you do to me," I growled roughly. She pulled back to fix me with a smoldering look that seared to my bones.

"Why tell, when I could show you?" Her hand found the front of my jeans, palming firmly in a way that made coherent thought impossible. My fierce temptress knew exactly how to unravel my control.

With a strangled noise of surrender, I surged forward again, walking Natalia backwards urgently toward silken sheets. The taste of her skin drove all lingering hesitation from my mind. After so much time stolen from us, tonight my exquisite angel would find paradise in my arms again and again. And I would worship every inch of her with a passion beyond holy.

Within seconds, my jeans were on the floor and my pulsating desire was inside of Natalia. She pushed back against each of my thrusts, her body responding eagerly to my touch. I pinched, pulled, and twisted her hardened nipples between my thumb and forefinger, heightening our pleasure.

She pulled me away from her warm, wet embrace and turned around, positioning herself on the table. With a seductive smile, she invited me to enter her. Slowly, I slid into her inviting depths, savoring the sensation. I moved with long, firm strokes, pumping into her rhythmically. She offered her breasts to me, and I eagerly took them into my mouth, consumed by a primal hunger. In the midst of our passion, I heard her plea:

"Harder, Leonardo, harder. Please, yes, ahhgh!"

That was my cue. With a surge of intensity, I released everything I had left into her waiting embrace. I continued to thrust and plunge into her, driven by a wild desire. And then, she let out a deep, satisfying moan. In that moment, I knew she was mine.

I collapsed into the bed, gazing at her with a mix of exhaustion and adoration. I was deeply in love with her, and she felt the same way about me.

"Natalia, I can't imagine my life without you. It's not just about the physical connection we share. You are a dream come true, and I want you to stay with me forever."

She approached me, leaning over to kiss me passionately. As she looked into my eyes, I saw a love unlike any I had experienced before. It was a tender, affectionate gaze.

"I love you, Leonardo. I have loved you since the first moment I met you.

Natalia's POV:

I woke up slowly, stretching languidly beneath the silky sheets. Late morning sunlight was already filtering through the curtains, but I was in no rush to leave this blissful cocoon. Not with Leonardo's warm body still pressed up behind me, his strong arm draped over my waist.

I rolled over carefully to face him, not wanting to disturb his peaceful sleep. But Leonardo's eyes blinked open instantly at my movement, a smile already tugging his lips.

"Morning, troublemaker," he rumbled, voice still husky with drowsiness.

"Hi yourself, rule breaker," I shot back, unable to contain my own delighted grin. After so many weeks of painful separation, waking up wrapped safely in Leonardo's arms again felt nothing short of a miracle.

Leonardo chuckled, tugging me closer so he could nuzzle into the crook of my neck. "Mm, I could get used to this. Waking up next to your gorgeous face every morning." His warm breath grazing my skin sent tingles all through me.

"Easy there, Casanova," I laughed, playfully swatting his roaming hand away before things could get too heated. "We should probably get up and face reality soon, before someone comes searching."

As much as I wished we could stay cocooned here all day, Leonardo's unexpected visit was bound to spark questions and gossip downstairs. Keeping a low profile seemed wisest.

Leonardo sighed but obligingly rolled onto his back, scrubbing a hand over his shadowed jaw. "You're right, of course. Always the rational one while I act solely on passion," he said wryly.

Propping myself up on one elbow, I took a moment just to appreciate how unfairly sexy he looked tousled from sleep - dark stubble, bare chest muscled from combat, silky sheets draped temptingly low on his hips. My pulse reacted instantly, desire stirring. Damn him for being so irresistible.
