Everything went off without a hitch.

The foot soldiers barely paid me a moment’s notice when I walked out to the gate.

Eugenio was nervous, but he didn’t complain nearly as much as last time.

Esmeralda showed up just ten minutes late…

And I was on the road by 8:15.

I reached the hotel at 8:40 and asked the desk clerk what room Romeo was in.

When he opened the door and I flung myself into his arms, it felt like home.

Not the castle where I was imprisoned every day…

But the home I wanted.

A lot of firsts happened that night.

My first real date, with dinner and everything!

My first squirting orgasm – and he did stuff to my ass at the same time! (I’m mortified to even think about it… although I loved it.)

The first blowjob I ever gave! It was just as hot as I’d hoped – and I didn’t scrape him once!

And – probably the very best thing – the first time he came inside me without a condom!

It was…

God, it was the best.

But as fantastic as the sex was, another moment proved even more memorable.

It came just after we did (haha).

We’d both just had mind-blowing orgasms, and I was lying on his chest with his cock still inside me…

When he whispered, “I love you.”

I looked at him, stunned. In the movies, women had to wait forever to hear it –

But Romeo had said it on our second night together.

My heart swelled with emotion as I whispered, “Really?”

Unfortunately, he looked a little freaked out, like he wasn’t sure he should have said it.

All that sweet emotion turned to fear.

Please, PLEASE don’t take it back, I pleaded inwardly –

And then a big smile spread across his face like the sun coming out from behind the clouds.

“…yeah,” he whispered. Then he said it with way more fervor: “I love you.”

I was floored.

I hadn’t really thought about ‘love’ until that moment. I was too caught up in the adrenaline rush of sneaking out and meeting him – not to mention the mind-blowing sex.
