“Alessandro, you can’t promise me a future. We live on borrowed time,” I say, my voice barely above a whisper.
He reaches out, his touch gentle as he brushes away a stray tear. “Rachel, I can’t promise you a perfect future, but I can promise you that whatever time we have together will be worth it. I can promise you love, and I can promise you that you won’t be alone.”
His sincerity pierces through my defenses, and for a moment, I see a future I never dared to dream of. A life with Alessandro, a life filled with passion and love. But fear still grips my heart.
“Alessandro, I’m scared.” I confess, my voice trembling.
He cups my face in his hands, his gaze unwavering. “I’m here with you every step of the way. I know it looks terrifying. But maybe, just maybe, we can find a way to navigate this darkness together.”
The vulnerability in his eyes mirrors my own, and for the first time, I allow myself to see the depth of his emotions. The storm within me rages, torn between the fear of the unknown and the undeniable pull of love.
“Rachel, stay for me. Live for me, live with me,” he whispers, his lips brushing against mine in a gentle kiss.
As his words sink in, a realization dawns upon me, “I don’t want to die, not before I’ve lived.” This time, when his lips come down and brush against mine, I bite down on his lower lip.
He is shocked. “Rachel.”
“Kiss me, Alessandro.”
“Will you stay?”
CHAPTERTHIRTY
Alessandro
I am helpless as I watch her. My question has stunned her and I hope she realizes just how much she means to me.
The pain in her eyes is unbearable. I can’t believe I never knew anything about her. I would have been gentler with her, held her at night. I want to be so tender with her, if she lets me.
She must feel the full brunt of my eyes because she starts to look away. I grab her chin and force her to look at me, “Rachel, you have to stay. I will make you stay.”
Then I lean down and crash my lips to hers. She gasps before her lips part, letting me in. I groan at the first real taste of hers. She is like a full-bodied wine. She makes me dizzy. My tongue slides against hers, brushing together.
She moans and the sound shoots straight to my cock.
I lick every inch of her mouth before kissing the side of her mouth. Then I kiss her cheek and bury my face in her neck, taking a heady whiff of her perfume. I close my eyes as my teeth graze her pulse point. Her heart beats so gently underneath me. How dare she try and extinguish that?
How dare she take away what is mine?
I bite down on her, making her moan again. I want to mark her. I need to consume her whole. My tongue slides out and licks the spot. It is a clash of tongue and teeth and I watch the red mark bloom for me.
Then I do the same for her collar bone.
Her eyes are half closed, tears streaking down her cheeks.
“Will you fucking stay?” I ask as I lean down and lick the tears off her face.
She is whimpering.
I need her breaking. Maybe then, I will be able to build her up from scratch.
I pull down her dress watching her nipples stiffen. I bend down and take one in my mouth, biting hard. She cries out in pain, her hand now in my hair pulling hard. She is mine.
Fucking mine.
I push her legs apart, my hand kneading her inner thighs before reaching the little fabric at the apex. I can feel the damp spot already on her panties. I hook my finger in the fabric and pull the little triangle.
I toss the white lace aside then push her dress higher so she is fully exposed to me.
