With a mixture of urgency and tenderness, I press my lips against hers, pulling her into a deep, passionate kiss.

This contact feels like salvation, a reminder that we are alive and together.

"Rosalie," I whisper against her lips, my hands roaming over the contours of her body, reacquainting myself with every inch of her. "I need you."

"Take me, Felix," she breathes out in reply, her voice quivering with desire as her fingers tangle in my hair.

I can feel the lingering pain in her movements, but there's strength in her grip, a determination to reclaim the intimacy we once shared.

"Are you sure?" I ask, needing to know that she's ready for this step, both emotionally and physically.

Her eyes lock onto mine, full of love and trust, making my heart swell with adoration.

"More than anything," she confirms, sealing her words with another searing kiss.

And that's all the encouragement I need.

With gentle hands, I guide her onto the bed, carefully positioning her so that her injuries won't be aggravated.

As I strip away the remainder of our clothes, I take a moment to appreciate the beauty laid out before me.

The bruises on her skin only highlight her resilience and strength – traits that make me fall even more deeply in love with her.

"God, I've missed you," I say, running my fingertips along her collarbone, feeling her shiver beneath my touch. "Every part of you."

"Show me," she pleads, her gaze burning into mine, full of fire and passion.

"Make me forget everything but us."

As our bodies come together, I'm flooded with a rush of emotions – relief, joy, and, most of all, love.

Our lovemaking is a testament to our unbreakable bond, an expression of our devotion.

"Rosalie," I whisper in her ear, my voice thick with emotion as I pick up the pace. "I love you so much."

"Say it again," she begs, her nails digging into my back as her body tightens around me.

"I love you," I repeat, feeling myself nearing the edge of release. "Always and forever."

"Me too, Felix," she cries out, her voice breaking as we surrender to the wave of pleasure that crashes over us.

As we lay tangled together in the aftermath, I tenderly kiss her forehead, vowing to myself that I will keep her safe, no matter the cost.

We've been through hell and back, but now, we're stronger than ever – and nothing will stand in our way.

Chapter 45

ROSALIE

The soft glow of candlelight spills across the intimate setting of Felix's private dining room in our restaurant, casting flickering shadows on the dark wooden walls adorned with exquisite paintings.

The scent of roses mingles with the savory aroma of our gourmet dinner, creating an elegant and seductive atmosphere.

I can't help but feel entranced by the entire scene, my heart pounding in anticipation as I sit across from the man who has captured my soul.

Felix Carlisi, the mighty Don of the Carlisi family, sits before me, his piercing blue eyes locked onto mine as if trying to decipher the secrets within them.

His muscular frame is hidden beneath a tailored suit, his jet-black hair slicked back to reveal a strong jawline, and chiseled features that leave me breathless.
