Proof I survived.
And that is nothing to be ashamed of.
“You complete me, Rena,” he says in a breathy tone when we finally tear our lips apart. “My entire life it has felt like there’s been this void inside me.” He takes my hand and places it on his bare chest. “I’ve been walking around with this hollow ache in my chest, and I accepted that was my fate. Until I met you and you breathed life into every part of me. Now my chest is swollen with love, and the emptiness is gone. You and the kids have centered my world and given it meaning. You are everything I have been craving but didn’t realize. Nothing or no one is more important to me than you, Elisa, and Romeo.”
“Oh, Alesso,” I choke out, swiping happy tears away. “You are everything I never dared to dream. You are my soul mate. I felt it the second our eyes connected that first day but didn’t ever think I would get to love you.” How my heart ached at the helplessness of it all. Sensing I had found the other part of my soul but he was denied to me because I’d already been forced to share my life with another man. It tore at my heart every time I was in Alesso’s presence, and I truly never believed we would have this.
His thumbs sweep over my damp cheeks. “I will love you until the breath leaves my body. Every day from now until our end of days.” He holds my face in his hands as he kisses me. “Soul mates,” he whispers over my lips. “I never believed in it until I met you.”
I rest my brow against his and cling to him, loving the feel of his hand against my lower back and the solidity of his strong biceps under my fingers. “This wasn’t quite how my seduction was supposed to go.” A light laugh trickles from my lips.
“You don’t need to seduce me, Serena.” He separates our brows and tilts my chin up. “You already have me.” A gorgeous smile ghosts over his mouth as he steps back and removes his shoes, socks and pants. My eyes are fixated on his beautiful ripped body as he slides his boxers down his muscular thighs and over his toned legs until he is standing before me as naked as the day he was born.
“You are so beautiful, Alessandro. You steal my breath every time I look at you.”
“Stop stealing all my lines!” He runs his hands up and down my arms, examining my face as he unclips my bra and removes it. Kneeling, he hooks his thumbs in either side of my panties and slowly pulls them down my legs. “I like these,” he says, scrunching my panties in his hand before burying his nose in the material.
My cheeks heat as he sniffs my scent, and I can’t take my eyes from him. His free hand moves to my calf, but I put a hand on his arm and shake my head. “Nuh-uh. This is my show, and I have plans for you.”
He pins me with a saucy smile. “Do you now?”
“Yep.” I step back, glancing over my shoulder. “Lie on the bed on your stomach. I want to massage you.” Sierra gave Nat and me some aromatherapy oils, and I’ve been massaging Alesso’s back and shoulders most nights. Tonight, I want to give him a full-body massage, and I know it will turn me on every bit as much as I hope it will him.
We already talked about contraception. We’re both clean, and I am on the pill, so we are going to make love without a condom. That means I can’t massage him the way I want to, using my normal oils, so after some research, I purchased unrefined coconut oil, which will be moisturizing on his skin but will also be fine to use on his dick, which will, in turn, be inside me.
I laugh as Alesso hops up and swiftly gets into position. His eagerness is a turn-on in itself. Grabbing the bottle of oil from the bedside table, I climb onto the bed and sit on his ass. We both moan as my bare flesh meets his, and I gently grind on his butt as I warm the oil up in my hands.
“Shit, Rena. If you keep doing that, I’m liable to come all over the bed.”
I giggle as I lean down and press my mouth to his ear. “I like sitting on you like this.” I never thought I could be this open and intimate with a man, but I’m not uncomfortable sitting naked on top of him. My hands land on his shoulders, and a groan leaves his lips.
“Your hands are magic, Rena,” he says, as I knead his knotted muscles.
“So are yours because no one has ever made me feel the way you do when you’re touching me.” I work my way up and down his back, massaging the oil into his skin and easing the tension from his corded muscles. Then I slide down his body and massage his ass and his powerful thighs, teasing his balls with a few soft brushes of my fingers as I work my way along his legs, his calves, and his feet. “Turn over,” I command, and I can hear the lust dripping from my tone.
I throb down below, and my nipples are like sharp peaks, aching to be touched. My entire body feels alive in a way it hasn’t before.
Alesso’s cock springs out when he turns over, standing hard and proud, and I salivate at the bead of precum crowning his head. On instinct, I bend down and swipe my tongue across the tip of his cock, smiling as his dick twitches and a hiss escapes his mouth. I settle on his thighs as I dump more oil in my hands. “I love touching you.” I place my palms on his chest. “You are perfect.” I caress his pecs, moving my hands lower, my fingers dipping into the curved planes of his sculpted abs.
“Look in the dictionary. Under perfection, it spells your name,” he says over a moan, and I giggle at his ridiculousness.
“I love your dick.” My slippery fingers wrap around his hard length. “This is mine,” I growl, a sudden possessiveness sweeping through me as I slowly stroke him. “All mine.”
“It’s yours, babe,” he pants, quick to agree. “But please tell me I can put it inside you soon because I’m about to erupt here.”
I take pity on him. This gorgeous selfless man has been patiently waiting all year for this moment. “I am so wet for you,” I admit as I run my oil-coated hands up and down my body, lingering on my breasts and my stomach. Alesso’s eyes are glued to my fingers, and his dick leaks precum. Climbing off of him, I lie down on my back and turn my head to face him. His fingers move over my body as he stares into my eyes, massaging the oil into my breasts.
“I love you,” he says before claiming my lips.
We turn on our sides, holding on to one another as our kissing grows more frantic, our touching more insistent. I slide my leg in between his, thrusting my pussy against his cock, and a delicious shiver works its way through me. My core pulses with need as I press against him while my hands roam his back and grab fistfuls of his ass.
Alesso gently pushes me down flat on my back before crawling over me. He worships every inch of my skin with his mouth and his fingers and when his lips land on my drenched pussy, I almost launch off the bed. “Damn, you’re soaked.” He drives one finger inside me.
“Please, babe.” I writhe on the bed, my body flush with desire and my need for him at an all-time high. “I need you to make love to me now.”
He adds another finger inside me, pumping them in and out at a quicker pace. “I want you to come first,” he says, lowering his mouth to my clit. It takes him about three minutes to get me off, and then I’m floating above the room, soaring on ecstasy and the wonders of the human body. Sex has never been like this for me, and I’m high on this incredible new experience.
When I return to earth, he is pushing my thighs farther apart and settling in between them. “I love watching you fall apart under me,” he says before his lips come for mine. “You are so beautiful when you fully let go.” His cock nudges my entrance, and prickles of anxiety dance over my skin. “Do you trust me?” He stares at me adoringly while he holds himself still at the apex of my thighs.
