“Don’t you complain about everything?” I asked before realising what I said.

“Maybe.” Our eyes met, my heart racing under the intensity of the emotions in his eyes. “Guess you’re the only one who can put up with me. You came into my life and fucking turned it upside down. Not only did you become my favourite dessert you also became my all… you are and always will be the only one I will love.” I swallowed, my stomach a mess of nerves at his words.

“I…” He placed the back of his finger against my lips.

“You don’t need to say shit. I waited years for you to find me…. I can wait for however long I need to, aslong as, in the end, you return to me,” he said quietly. The emotions in his husky voice made my heart thunder.

“Alejandro…”

I didn’t know what to say. He wasn’t lying, I felt like I could sense that. His emotions were so intense that I couldn’t breathe properly, but he was right. I didn’t need to say anything, so instead, I simply raised my cup of ice cream.

“Thank you.”

A small smirk crossed his lips, and he nodded as we stood there, gazing into each other’s eyes, and something told me that maybe, just maybe, things would be okay…

Alejandro

She had relaxed, I could sense that much as she ate her ice cream, licking her spoon slowly as if savouring every little drop. Her eyelids fluttered shut and I leaned against my bike, tugging her gently by her hips in front of me. Her heart hammered as her eyes flew open, staring down at me.

“I won’t bite, Amore Mio.” I leaned over, brushing a strand of her hair aside.

Unless, of course, you fucking want me to, then I’m ready to mark every inch of this divine body and make you fucking see stars.

She nodded, giving me a small hesitant smile. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on, from her unique blue-green eyes to her plump lips... my fucking goddess…

“Is it… does it hurt that I’ve forgotten you?” She asked quietly. She was watching me sharply despite asking that, and I wondered what was going through her mind. I smirked,

“I won’t lie, because you can fucking tell if I do, right?” She nodded, and I placed my empty cup down on the bike next to me and caressed her hips. “Yeah, it does, a whole fucking lot, because the thing is, you are my fucking lifeline, the light that kept me focused. My reason to live and my reason to be the best I fucking can be.”

Her cheeks turned a gorgeous hue of pink as she nodded, her gaze falling to my neck before she looked up at me, her eyes sharp as if a sudden thought came to her.

“We are mated and marked?” I nodded.

“I’m sure these sparks are proof of that,” I whispered huskily, slipping my hands under her top and caressing her smooth skin. The sparks between us surged through us, and her breath hitched.

“So, how did we first meet?” She asked me, her heart pounding as she placed her hand on my shoulder. I knew her enough to know the effect I was having on her. This was going to be pretty fucking simple. All I needed to do was take advantage of the attraction she felt towards me.

“The story isn’t pretty. Let’s just say first we fucked. I still remember that day in my office. Since the first time I saw you, there was just something about you… you felt the same, and one thing led to another…” The urge to kiss her right then was getting the better of me, so I broke our eye contact. She let out a breathy laugh, and I smirked.

“That actually sounds believable. Even if I couldn’t sense if you’re telling the truth, it sounds like something that could happen between us,” she said, turning and tossing her ice cream pot in the trash can not far from the bike. She smiled when it went right in.

“Yeah?” I asked.

“Yeah…” Her eyes dipped to my lips before she looked away, seeming to be very aware of our position.

“What is it? Want me to fuck you all over again?

“No! I meant, I just…”

“You know, Amore Mio, if you want me to revive that memory, I’d be more than willing,” I added huskily, yanking her close, her chest against mine. Her heart was pounding wildly as she stared into my eyes.

“No thanks… so, umm, what happened next?” She asked, trying to change the topic.

“I tried to push you away. I knew you were too fucking good for me. I was in a dark place and didn’t think anyone needed that shit in their life, but you remained stubborn. I chose someone else to be my Luna… but when it came to marking her, I couldn’t do it. All I could think of was the fact that I wanted my nympho, even if it was selfish of me. The rest is history. Found out I had put a fucking pup in you, too.” I placed my hand on her stomach, and, fuck, it took my all not to kiss her. I didn’t sugarcoat shit because there was no point in lying or hiding it. I hated what I did back then, but we got passed it.

“You sure are to the point,” she replied, amused.

“Yeah, I am.”
