“It is what I told you would be.”

“Because you do not want me, only to protect me from Demetrius…I’m sorry, forget I said anything,” she said before turning around, pulling her hair over her shoulder to let him undo the buttons on the dress. She tried to stop herself from letting out her emotions as she stood there waiting for him to undo the buttons and leave. “Stefano please…”

“Come here,pethi mou,” he whispered turning her to face him hearing the slightest hint of tears in her voice. He cupped her cheek and stared down into her moist eyes. “I want you to be happy Hailey. I want you to be safe yes, but mostly I want you to be happy. I need you to be happy.”

“Why? You didn’t care if I were happy when you told me we would tell Demetrius that we were engaged. You didn’t care that I hated you for humiliating me and now you want me to be happy that you’re doing it again?”

“What? How am I humiliating you now Hailey?” he asked his brows drawing together in confusion.

“You kiss me, make me want more, and it’s all for show to you. You do not even begin to think of what it’s like for me…”

Stefano stopped her speech as his lips covered hers, a hand sliding back behind her head to tilt it into the perfect position for him to discover everything about her as his other slid down to her hip, pulling her up against him tightly. She let out a light gasp feeling his arousal against her and he invaded her mouth with his tongue, unable to think of anything but having every part of her as his and only his now.

He felt himself slipping as her hips pressed into his and he tore his lips from hers, shuddering at the need to contain himself, take it slowly for her. He moved his lips down to her neck following the line of her dress down to the top of her breasts and wished that she hadn’t followed his request so well. He wanted to kiss every inch of her before taking the dress off her body.

“Stefano,” she said on a light gasp as his tongue licked at her skin between the slight indentations of her breasts.

“What my darling?” he asked as he slowly trailed his way back up the other side of her neckline.

“Please,” she whispered, and his lips covered hers again, his hands sliding up her back towards the buttons keeping the dress in place.

He slowly undid the top ones, letting his fingers slide across the skin it revealed as they opened. He slipped his fingertips down the middle of her back, feeling her shiver as he went, and started on the ones that covered her lower back. Her hands caressed his neck, sending shivers down his spine and removed his lips from hers, sending them along her jaw, back up to her ear and nibbled on the lobe where his earrings were.

“Never think I don’t want you my darling,” he said softly pressing kisses back along her jaw before moving over to her neck on the other side.

“Show me,” she whispered letting her fingers trace through his hair.

“There will be no annulment if we do this my darling,” he warned wanting to make it quite clear to her that he wasn’t going to let her go.

“Was there ever really going to be that option?” she questioned feeling the dress slip as he released the final button. “Would our families ever accept that?”

“No,” he said with a smile as he kissed her neck again, his hands moving up her body, lifting the dress from her shoulders. He slowly slid the straps down her arms, watching as the material revealed her bare chest to him, making him let out a groan seeing their pebbled tips. He let the dress pool at her feet, finding only the tiniest scrap of material hiding her body from him, and a sweat broke out on his skin.

She stepped out of the dress, bent to pick it up and began to move away from him, causing a desperate shudder to race through him. He reached out, grasping her hand, and tugged her back towards him unbalancing her enough that she fell against his chest.

“I should hang up the dress before it gets soiled,” she said as his lips hovered over hers.

“I will do it,” he stated taking it from her soft hold. “Do not move my darling…not an inch.”

“Yes sir,” she teased giving him a smile and he lowered his lips to hers in a crushing kiss.

“I’ve told you once already that sarcasm does not look good on you my darling, but passion does,” he replied once he lifted his lips from hers, seeing her want match his own.

Hailey watched as he hung up the dress, taking care to keep it from touching the floor as he hung it on the back of the door where they could see it and her breath stalled when he slid his shirt from his shoulders, revealing his skin beneath it. He slowly crossed the room back to her and every nerve ending cried out for attention from him.

“So beautiful…every inch of your skin is the same luminescent glow, save for here,” he stated brushing his fingers down the tightly budded tip of her breasts. She drew in a deep breath and he smiled doing it again before lifting her hand to his chest, resting it over his heart. “You do the same for me my darling Hailey. Come here and let me love you.”

She closed the tiny space between them, and his hand pulled her tightly against his body as his lips closed over hers again. She couldn’t resist from touching his chest, running her hands over his shoulders and down his firm biceps, until he lifted her into his arms, and she gripped his shoulders tightly with a slight gasp.

“You are far too tiny for me to drop my darling, there is nothing to fear whilst in my arms,” he said softly brushing kisses against her lips then cheeks followed by her closed eyes as he laid her down on the bed, spreading her luscious hair out beneath her head. He took in the sight of her, memorizing every bit of the moment while he could control his passion. A slight flush started at her breasts and ran up her chest, past her neck and into her cheeks, driving him mad.

“So beautiful and mine, all mine,” he said sweetly enough that it didn’t scare her, simply ignited a need deep within her to make it true. “I promise to be gentle my darling, as gentle as I can be.”

“Stefano, please,” she whispered as he hovered above her, so close yet so far away when she wanted his skin next to hers, his breath as hers, and his body as hers.

“Please what my darling angel? Please, please you? You will never have to ask me to do that my sweet perfect Hailey,” he replied stealing her lips again as he kept his body taunt, hovering above hers.

“Come here to me,” she said lifting her hand to his shoulder, pulling him towards her.
