Thank you,Pia signs.
“You’re welcome,” Serafina responds.
“Aww,” Adelina gushes, placing her arm around Serafina’s shoulders. “It’s so sweet to see you two getting along.”
“So you do have a heart.” I tease.
Serafina swats my arm. “Yes. I have a heart. It might be small and black, but it’s there.”
Pia smiles wide. “Well, I see it.” She grabs my hand, squeezing it. “And I’m so happy to finally have a real family, one filled with love. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.”
I gaze into Pia’s eyes, surrounded by the three most important women in my life, and say, “Neither could I.”
CHAPTER20
Pia
“I’ve never been happier,” I whisper to Dario the next evening as we’re lying in bed, snuggling. We’re both stitched up and sore, but there’s no lasting damage.
Dario strokes his hand up and down my back. “Me, too.”
“To have found a home with you, I could never have dreamed it. I also couldn’t have imagined I’d be talking again, but you helped bring that out of me.”
“By scaring you,” he reminds me.
“It wasn’t your fault. You didn’t mean it. Either way, you helped bring it out of me.” Even though I’ve been talking a lot more since yesterday, I still find myself using sign language often. I’ll probably never stop, but there’s nothing wrong with that. I can blend my worlds together—the one where I was silent and the one where I’m free.
“I’m glad you’re happy with me.” He leans down and plants a warm kiss on my lips. I sigh into his mouth.
It doesn’t take long for the kiss to turn more passionate and for Dario to roll me onto my back and press his body into mine. I love the feeling of him on top of me. I’m safe. Protected. Loved.
Soon, our pajamas are pulled off, and we lie naked, still kissing. My body is already warm and open for him. The thought that I pushed him away for so long is inconceivable now. I’ll always want to make love with Dario. I can’t imagine a life without it.
But it’s not just about sex. It’s about how much love I have for this man.
Dario brings a hand down my body and cups me between my legs, making me gasp and arch into him. Even this simple touch makes me feel wild.
He continues to rub me until I’m even more warmed up, and I start shifting my body around, desperate for more.
“Dario, please.” It feels good knowing I can use my words to say his name in the heat of lovemaking. “I’m ready.”
He growls as he removes his hand from between my legs and entwines them with mine. I feel his length at my entrance, and then he slowly slides into me.
I gasp once he’s fully inside me. Dario gives me a look filled with lust and love. I smile, happy to be in this moment with him.
Dario rocks his hips forward, making both of us moan softly at the sensation. Now that I can speak again, it’s lovely to share my sounds of pleasure with him. It makes me feel even more connected to him.
I wrap my legs around his waist, pulling him in closer. Dario groans and keeps his pace steady and slow. Both of us are content to take our time.
With every thrust of his hips, his chest grazes mine. The sensation of my breasts against his muscular body lights me up.
I arch my back, desperate to feel more of him. Dario complies and presses deeper into me. The sound of our lovemaking is beautiful. I could never imagine anything more beautiful than being with the man I love.
The growing pressure in my abdomen signals that I’m getting close to my release. I clench Dario’s hands. “Dario,” I whisper.
“Call out my name,” he says breathlessly. “I want to hear you.”
“Dario,” I say louder as he rocks his hips harder against mine. “Dario.”
