Hearts pouring

Alina's face turned scarlet red and she turned to face the seller who had this quirky look on his face as he watched them discussed.

She stood silent for a while, wondering if she should give in to his request.

"Uhm just a night together? No sex?" her voice was low, barely audible.

Dante nodded. "Yes sweetheart. I won't try to do anything you don't want" he gave her his word.

"Fine Dante. I will" Alina gave in, trying to stop the blush forming on her cheeks.

Dante chuckled at her reply and aimed the rifle at the fast moving balls. Alina closed her ears with her hands before he even pulled the trigger.

She didn't want to hear the sound of the gun.

He immedately shot the moving balls five consecutive times without stopping and each shot hit a ball.

The seller was dazed and he looked stunned by Dante's pro handling of the rifle.

Alina jumped for excitement and she immedately hugged Dante, planting a tender kiss on his lips to her own suprise. Dante kissed her back and hugged her.

She then pulled back and turned to face the young seller who still looked shocked on how Dante was able to shoot the moving balls so swiftly without even missing one.

She stretched out her hands to him and he gave her the huge polar bear.

"I love it. It feels so soft!" Alina happily exclaimed feeling the soft furs of the huge bear.

Dante laughed quietly at her child like behaviour and they silently strolled outside to the car pack.

The full moon shone brightly, a shade of blue encircling it. The trees danced eagerly to the cold breeze. Dante and Alina subconsciously locked hands together as they walked towards Dante's car, enjoying the peaceful serene.

The sounds of excitement and rush in the amusement park could still be the heard some yards away.

Dante unlocked the doors of his car and Alina got into the front seat with him.

A brief silence fell. Dante didn't ignite the engine instead he stared at Alina whose attention was faced on the huge bear he got her.

"Alina"he called. She hummed at him.

"Do you want to stay in this marriage with me? Or you want a divorce?"

Alina was taken aback by the sudden question. She felt her face heat up and she stuttered with words.

"Be honest ok" Dante said, his tone surprisingly soft.

"Well in the past I would have happily longed for a divorce but now I...I don't think I want a divorce. Your attitude evolves every day and I'm getting to know you even better"she admitted.

Dante chuckled at her awkwardness and shyness.

"Alina you make me feel more human. You make me believe that deep down there I do have a heart, a heart that cares for you" Dante confessed.

Alina was stunned, dazed, surprised, bewildered, any word to describe how beetrood red her face had become. Dante wasn't a bit embarrassed by what he said. Hell he wasn't even shy to confess what he felt.

Alina couldn't respond and she quickly kept her face downcasted.

"Ragazza timida you are different from other girls I've met. You are bold, fierce, you assert your own rights and you don't let any body walk over you. At the same time, you are caring. You were willing to give up your self for the sake of your family's happiness. That is selflessness. That's beautiful" He chuckled once again and paused for a moment. Alina couldn't help the smile that escaped her lips.

"Alina you make me feel happy. You make me laugh. Do you know I hardly laugh?

I've been trying so hard to suppress the good in me ever since I met you, I've been trying so hard to make myself believe that I don't care about you but it's impossible.

My life is so filled with darkness and you are that soft ray of light that is illuminating my dark world"Dante spoke so eloquently and softly that Alina felt her eyes well up with tears. He raised her face to gaze at him and brushed of the tiny drops of tears with his thumb.

Her stomach fluttered as she felt butterflies eagerly fluttering in it. Her heart soared with emotions. His words were beautiful, she felt like crying. She couldn't believe this ruthless mafian leader who had definitely killed and caused harmed to people could be so gentle with his words.

"You Alina..are the...you are the light in my life. And I am grateful for the day I met you. It was the best thing that happened to me. The day you almost chewed my head off because I called you a bitch. You bring out the good in me. I truly don't know how you do it. I'll never leave you Alina"

Alina giggled and tried covering her blush.

He held her chin softly with his hand and stared at her, his eyes were soothing and comforting.

There were not empty nor having dark clouds brooding over them this time. The ruthless mafia leader was gone and this Dante expressing his feelings to her was the Dante that had a heart like every other human.

Alina browsed his facial expression, taking in every beautiful feature of his face as they both smiled at each other. His hands snaked around her neck, still softly and he stared down at her lips and back at her eyes.

"I love you Alina"

That was the last thing he whispered to her before kissing her ever so passionately. Alina fully gave herself into the kiss and shut her eyes. Her lips, her body, her every being were tingling as Dante kissed her with so much passion. His lips were soft and warm on hers. The kiss was so gentle and sweet.

Alina relished every feeling of it. She truly had never felt this way before.

Adrenaline rushed through her.

Dante's other hand groped down at her breast, softly moulding it as he parted his lips more, demanding full entry into hers.

Alina let out a small soft moan allowing him to kiss her harder. His tongue slipped into her mouth and the kiss became more errotic. Dante groaned and deepened the kiss as his hand caressed her breasts.

After their intense make out session, they both pulled out, eyes filled with love for each other.

"Alina fuck you drive me so insane"

Alina giggled and pressed her lips together.

"I uhm...I...love..uhm" Alina stuttered shyly.

"You what? C'mon say it" Dante urged, his eyes boring into hers.

"I love you too Dante" Alina finally confessed with flushed cheeks.

Dante smiled lovingly at her.

"Let's drive home so you can fulfil your other promise to me" Dante winked before gearing up his car to life.

Alina became doe-eyed and tittered.

Their relationship had totally evolved into some thing beautiful--- love after marriage.

She loved him. Somehow they both fell inlove with each other without even realising it.

And it felt perfect.
