“Italian lesson,finito.” He crooned and stroked his fingers inside her pussy. They squeezed around the digits as he pressed inside and pulled out. His thumb moved back to her clit and made several circular movements before pressing down.
Autumn moaned and arched her back. Nico kissed her on the lips and took her mouth. Autumn’s hand clenched the ends of his hair as she kissed him back.
With his other hand, he aligned their bodies and thrust his cock inside. She was just as tight as she was the first and second time. The position allowed Nico to stroke her clit with one hand and play with her nipples at the same time.
Autumn pressed against Nico, moaning and gasping. Nico bit her neck and groaned. “Come with me,mia cara.” He thrust hard and gently squeezed her plump clit. “Now.”
Autumn screamed and thrust back against him. They shouted each other’s names at the same time.
When they came down from their high, Nico pulled out of Autumn. He turned Autumn, so she faced him. Her eyes were damp.
Nico froze and moved her hair from her face. “What’s wrong? Did I hurt you?”
Autumn gave him a watery smile and wiped the side of her face. “What? No, I...” She cleared her throat and looked at him. Nico waited as she studied him. Her fingers trembled as she smoothed them over his chin, and his cheeks. “I’ve never felt so cherished before. Like someone cared that much.” Her eyes watered, and she closed them. “I’m sorry,” she whispered.
Nico held her against his chest. He stroked her hair like she was a cat until the tension eased out of her body. “Don’t apologize, Autumn. You have nothing to be sorry for.” He closed his eyes, then opened them.
“Ti amo, Autunno,” he whispered, “Ti amo.”
Chapter 21
Tiamo.
Autumn hadn’t even been sure she’d spelled it right after she looked it up this morning.
Nico was boyish in his sleep. Long, dark eyelashes any woman would be envious of. Olive skin from his Italian heritage. And he looked so innocent.
Heat scalded her cheeks at the things he’d done to her in the shower and afterwards.
Ti amo.
At first Luna’s words shocked Autumn when Luna said Nico fell for her.
Was it all an act?
She examined every single thing Nico had done for her. She dissected every word he’d ever spoken.
And last night, he’d cherished her body. The pleasure was so intense. Autumn hadn’t known how to process it.
Even now, her eyes became watery as she remembered walking through the door. There was worry in his gaze, and then he listened as she spoke about what happened earlier.
He does love me.
Was it even possible? She trusted him with her body. Could she truly trust him with her heart?
Autumn swiped her eyes and stood. Since Mitch called and reinstated her on the case last night, she had to meet up with everyone.
As soon as Scarlett was healthy enough to move, the authorities could send her to the women’s state prison after she had a psych evaluation while they waited for her trial.
David Taylor could serve as conservator until they could find a lawyer because he couldn’t defend her himself.
Conflict of interest and all that.
Uncle David was another matter entirely.
Autumn felt sick to her stomach every time she thought about the man who raised her. And he was a party to her kidnapping? Her lips twisted as if she had something foul in her mouth.
She would see to it that the authorities in Washington State reopened her kidnapping case. Her uncle had a lot to answer for.
