Page 16 of Amadeo (Dark Legends #4)

Gia

I woke up and felt the blast of heat against my back.

I had to smile, knowing it was the warmth from Amadeo.

I snuggled down and felt something close to awe wash over me.

Today was a new day, but more than that it would be the first day of a new life for me.

I wouldn’t be alone ever again. I had someone kind, warm and understanding to help me through.

I smirked. Who could be this lucky? I still felt blessed that he forgave the mistake I’d made.

Forgave me for being a coldass bitch to him for almost two straight weeks.

I could just imagine the wonder of coming home to this man. He would be all kinds of things to me as well. Things I never had in my life before. A best friend, someone I could trust and the hottest lover I’d ever known.

Most of my life, I’d felt like sex wasn’t anything special like people said it was.

I heard gossiping about it, stories about it and women gushing over it.

I knew one thing from all of that, it hadn’t ever been that way for me.

Yes, I allowed a few men to have me. Two guys in my ten years of medical school and one intern that I thought was cute.

I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

I even gave it a few tries in case it had just been the first guy that didn’t turn me on as they called it.

Instead, I found sex to be all about nothing.

Then after my sister…Well, a deep cold encased me and my heart like an ice bubble from that time forward.

A few men had attempted to burst that bubble in the last couple of years, but after a few attempts to date me, they would give up and move on.

I never blamed them, they had a right to be happy, just not with me.

I didn’t date anymore as I really felt like it would be a waste of my time.

Something I did not have. Time. So I just went to school and buried myself in my work.

Patients and my job became paramount. My parents needed me too, after what happened in Italy.

Who had time for fantasy and chasing the false rainbow of so-called love?

Now, I knew what the big deal was. With the right man.

And damn, if Amadeo wasn’t the right man for me.

I would have never believed there was such a thing.

Had you told me this just a month ago, I would have coldly laughed in your face.

I shivered even now from the feelings he’d given to me last night.

I felt real warmth inside me for the first time in a very long time.

I turned my head and stared at the man in question.

He still slept as my gaze followed the lines of his face and his bare shoulder.

The hell? Why was he so damned fine? I'd seen many different types of men from a few different cultures but never had any of them looked like Amadeo.

Then there were his other attributes too…

a compelling warmth emanated from him. He was funny and kind as well.

I paused to remember how he had taken care of Valencia yesterday when she had been so upset.

His Aunt Maria sure thought highly of him.

And everything she had said about him was true. Understanding, kind and warm.

I had to pause to wonder, why hadn’t some clever woman snatched him up immediately?

Even Zia had said many had followed him around and he ignored them.

I paused and really considered this possibility.

He could have someone, maybe? A man like him should have someone.

I felt like that wasn’t true however. I refused to believe anything sinister or cruel about Amadeo again.

I decided that as hard as it might be for me, I would trust him in all things.

I knew he would keep me safe from his father’s wrath and anything else that came along.

I paused and sucked in a shocked breath.

For the first time ever in my life, I was willing to entrust a man with my wellbeing.

Willing to trust him with my heart. Shocking and a little disturbing as this concept was, I couldn't believe he still wanted me after the way I treated him.

I winced now as some of the instances of my rudeness passed through my mind.

From slamming doors in his face to glaring at him with a hardcore hate.

I know that I scowled at him more than I ever smiled.

Why would he be interested in someone like me? Talk about an ice queen.

I’d never had a steady boyfriend before. I couldn’t believe he was mine, even after I treated him like dirt.

I glanced up.

Awake, Amadeo looked back at me.

I shifted a little as heat inflamed my cheeks. I did feel a little nervous now that we were in the light of day, so to speak. I wasn’t used to waking up next to someone. I wondered if I looked funky. Like half asleep with messy hair.

He slowly smiled at me.

My insides actually curled up with this sweet feeling like someone would feel when seeing something adorable.

Just seeing him smile gave me a charge. Oh wow, I was in big trouble here.

His smile had a huge effect on me ever since I first met him, but I hid my reaction well.

I needed to come to grips with the truth now…

to face the fact that I was in love with this man.

Reaching out, he grasped a lock of my hair and gently rubbed it between his forefinger and thumb. “How can anyone look so damned beautiful in the morning?” he asked as he grinned at me.

I smirked. “You are a charmer, aren't you? With my messy hair and sleep in my eyes?” I scoffed. “You need glasses, buddy.”

He chuckled. “I have to disagree. I have 20/20 vision, you look fully awake and your hair is not messy. Also, my charm is limited to sexy doctors, of which I only ever met one of those.”

I chuckled with him. This was another trait. His humor. I don’t think I’d ever met a man who was so quick-witted and fun to be with.

He grasped my cheeks with both hands and said what had been in my thoughts, “This is our first day as a couple. Our first time being friends actually.” He laughed a little “But more importantly, this will be our first day together while being on the same wavelength. I have to tell you right up front that I am in love with you, Dr. Ribisi and I need to add that there is no cure. My prognosis is not good. In fact, I’m a goner. ”

I laughed. “Well, I admit I have no prescription or cure for that other than to reply… I am falling in love with you too.”

He paused and stared at me.

I smiled. “Yes, I know after days and days of cold hatred on my part, this is quite a shock.”

We both laughed.

Finally, he moved close and kissed me.

I moaned and scooted closer to him.

The kiss was sweet and it felt like we were sealing this whole love thing with it. Wrapping our arms around each other, the kiss deepened and changed into a passionate desperation of sorts.

It grew and grew until Amadeo broke it and shook his head. “Well, we’ve gone and done it.”

I wrinkled my brow and studied his face. “What?”

“Made me hungry,” he stated then rose up.

Hungry? I wondered if he meant breakfast or what.

That had been the only warning I got as he tore the sheet from my nude body. He then spread my thighs, opened my folds with his fingers and latched onto my clit with his hot mouth.

I jumped from the heat of his lips on me and the pure electric jolt it gave me. Ok, another first. A man going down on me in the early morning hours. Reaching down, I grabbed his silky dark hair, as I almost felt like I would come right then and there. “Ohh, godd—you are going to…”

“Yes, I am,” he hummed the words against my skin then licked at me and sucked on my button. My body thrashed as he pinned me down with his weight on my legs. He pushed a finger into me, adding to what he was already doing to me.

Before I realized it, I literally exploded, stunned by the almost instant and unexpected climax as I flew over the edge.

Amadeo smacked his lips and rose up to whisper down at me, “Fucking delicious.” Widening my thighs, he looked into my glazed eyes and gave me that cuteass grin of his.

In one smooth move, he climbed up along my shuddering body then lunged high up into me in one powerful thrust, as I was still climaxing.

In response, I gasped in utter astonishment as no man had ever done this to me before. Made me come orally then plunged into me right after. I couldn’t speak or move as I fell under Amadeo’s sensual spell. All my senses hit overload and I became overwhelmed with pure heat, lust, and euphoria.

Raising my leg, he easily opened me wider and went deeper. This time, we both couldn’t control ourselves as the sounds of our passion and ecstasy filled the room.

I admit it, I nearly passed out from the pure bliss it gave me as he filled me like I had never been filled before. Except by him just last night. It coupled with the climax I was already having while the room seemed to spin above me as my body arched up into his.

He then thrust deeply into me yet again and ground his hips as he held himself still.

Again, I became breathless as he held himself deep within me. He’d literally taken my breath away. How did someone do that? At this point all I could do was let out a whimper and wrap my arms tightly around his body while my nails scored his back.

He let out a hiss and gave me a look of pure satisfaction as his pace increased.

It seemed this had been the exact reaction he’d been going for.

While my leg locked around his waist, we were like one being.

As his dark eyes peered into mine, I became transfixed.

I realized that Amadeo Descalia owned me now, body and soul.

Every part of me felt wanted and loved. My skin came alive with tingles as I discovered a connection I never dreamed existed in the world.

He captured my lips and we rolled in the bed, so I was on top of him now.

His hardness hadn’t diminished. In fact, his cock was piercing me in the sweetest way imaginable.

I rotated my hips and rode him slowly at first as I attempted to fit him perfectly inside of me.

My fingers locked in with his as I pinned his hands to the mattress to give myself a base.

The sweet feel of my release rippled against his shaft as I came apart above him.

His eyes darkened as he showed me a world I never knew existed. He groaned and thrust upwards as I rode him. His smile wasn’t there now and he looked intense.

Being sexy as fuck, I admit this look almost undid me.

I’d thought his warmth and his playfulness was powerful as those traits pulled me toward him more and more.

However, I just learned differently. No, this was the primal beast inside of him, it showed in his eyes and his expression.

I realized suddenly that I had no chance to come out of this without being hooked on Amadeo for life.

I lost control of my usual collected self as I continued to rotate my hips, making the first orgasm roll into another and another.

His eyes rolled back in his head as his pleasure also showed and he pulled me down to him.

Our mouths melted against each other and he throbbed inside of me.

Again, he rolled me over as he took over on top.

Lowering his lips to mine, he thrust his tongue into my mouth for another soul gripping kiss.

Helplessly immersed in passion, I sucked on his tongue.

I knew I’d never done that before, or any of this, really.

Astonished and in awe, I couldn’t believe how all of this felt…

so sexy, hot and wild. I’d never guessed sex would be anything like this for me.

But I knew I’d just lost any inhibition I’d ever had.

I lost the cold woman I’d been before this.

I shed her like she had been chains wrapped around me, keeping me from feeling alive.

My mind and my senses were filled with only him now as I raised my hips and thrust back while meeting his plunges. I had never been aggressive nor greedy like this. The man had unleashed something in me that I never knew was there.

We both then simply lost our minds for the next few minutes. We were suspended in a sexual rapture as we kept kissing and moving together in a sensual dance older than time.

His deep strokes into my body made every nerve in me burn hot. His lips explored my neck and my mouth as his hips kept a rhythm that had me on the verge of yet another orgasm.

Again, I climbed high and flew over that beautiful edge.

Amadeo held me close and came too, with a whispery growl in my ear.

I couldn’t seem to catch my breath as my mind drifted. Unbelievably, I– Gia Ribisi, the Ice Queen– just experienced multiple orgasms. Sweetly melted down to a quivering mass of Jello. Helpless to do anything but marvel at what I just experienced.

Never had anyone made me feel like he did. Never, in all my life.
