98. Make my body hum with happiness.

Elena.

I woke up to the sweet scent of flowers in my room. I blinked a few times, still feeling groggy from sleep. As I slowly came to my senses, I saw a beautiful bouquet of flowers sitting on my bed. I looked at the message card attached to the flowers and reads it out loud, "To the most beautiful woman in the world, may your day be as lovely as you are. I hope these flowers brighten up your day. Good morning, beautiful. Love, Deangelo."

Deangelo's handwriting was bold and confident, yet there was a tenderness to it that made me feel special. I could help but feel like a princess being wooed by a knight in shining armor. Deangelo was so thoughtful and romantic, it made my heart skip a beat, I had never been treated this way, ever, it was al things that I saw in movies or books while growing up and now that they were happening to me, I felt very special. I took a deep breath and inhaled the scent of the flowers, feeling grateful for this sweet gesture.

I could not help but smile at the romantic gesture. It was like I was living in a fairy tale, with Deangelo as my charming prince. I got out out of bed, feeling happy and content. The flowers made my room feel brighter and more alive, and I took a deep breath, taking in the floral scent.

But just as I was admiring the flowers, I heard the sound of the door opening and in walked Sofia.

Panicking, I quickly hide the flowers under my pillow, hoping she hadn't seen them. Sofia looked around the room, eyeing me suspiciously. "Good morning, Elena," she said, her tone guarded. "What's going on?"

I tried to act casual, but I could feel my cheeks turning pink. "Nothing's going on. Why do you ask?"

Sofia narrowed her eyes. "You seem...different. Happier, almost."

I shrugged, trying to act nonchalant. "I just slept well, that's all."

Sofia gave me a knowing look, but thankfully did not press the issue. She left the room, and I let out a sigh of relief. I retrieved the flowers from under my pillow, admiring them once again. Deangelo's sweet gesture made my heart skip a beat, and I could not help but feel grateful to have him in my life.

My mind was however already racing with the day's responsibilities. I needed to take care of the kids, get them ready for school, and pick them up later in the afternoon. But before I could even start thinking of a plan for the day, Deangelo called me. He sounded excited and invited me out for a small lunch.

I was hesitant at first, thinking of all the things I needed to do, but he insisted that he had arranged for Luca to pick up the kids so we could have some time to ourselves. I was not happy about the idea of leaving my job to someone else, most especially luca, but I did not want to argue with him, so I agreed.

I told him that I would need to sneak out as usual, but he did not like the idea. He thought that I was hiding him and insisted that we tell his family that we were dating. I was taken aback by his boldness, but a part of me was thrilled that he was not ashamed of me.

He grabbed my arm, and I could see the determination in his eyes. My heart raced as I imagined the reaction of his family, but I could not let that happen. I told him to slow down and not rush into things. He eventually agreed to my plan, and I started thinking of a way to escape Sofia, who had taken it upon herself to be my shadow.

Soon enough, i was able to get out of the house but then we ended up not going anywhere as we instead spent the day together in his car.

Things started to go haywire as he placed his lips against mine. The soft pressure of his lips on mine sent shivers down my spine and I could feel myself melting into his embrace. The warmth of his body against mine was comforting and electrifying at the same time. We kissed deeply and passionately, lost in the moment, not caring about anything else in the world.

I felt his hand on my cheek, gently caressing it, and it sent a jolt of desire through me. It was like we were the only two people in the world, and all that matters was this moment. When we finally broke apart, I was left feeling breathless and wanting more.

And so our lips united again. I ran my fingers through his hair as he tucked a stray strand behind my ear. His hands rested comfortably against my hips as he pulled me closer. When our bodies pressed together, I moaned quietly and pressed my hands further into his back. He chuckled and bit lightly along my neck. It made goosebumps rise on my skin and a shudder ran down my spine. He pulled away from me then and rested his forehead against mine. I could see the love in his eyes and knew that he felt the same way about me. My heart swelled with emotion at the thought that we were finally in love with one another. I looked up into his gorgeous green eyes and smiled brightly.

I wrapped my arms around his shoulders as I pulled him tightly against me. It was almost like I was floating above the ground. Everything seemed brighter than it ever had before and I had never felt happier. Even though our feelings for each other were high, this was something else entirely. I knew that this feeling would likely last forever. That we would never tire of being in each other's presence. That no matter what happened in our life, our bond will only grow stronger. It was perfect. I love this man more than anything in the world and I was so grateful that he loved me too. This feeling was just what I needed. He deserved to be in love and to be happy.

We came apart to take another deep breathe only to capture each other's lips again and this time, he hands started to wander all over my body in ways that made me so hot that my entire body was starting to shake. I felt his fingers graze over my nipples and started to rub them between his thumb and index finger. I gasped loudly and arched my back towards him. He grinned and started kissing the exposed parts of my neck and chest. As he kissed my collarbone, I could not stop myself from gasping as a wave of pleasure hits me hard. He moved lower on my body and nuzzled his nose into my navel. I felt his tongue flicking out against my stomach and it set off a chain reaction within me, which caused my whole body to shake in a pleasurable manner. His lips were now trailing along the inside of my thighs and I felt the heat of his mouth and breath when they reached me.

I squirmed under his touch. I want more. I need more. "Mmm... Don't stop," I whispered against his ear. "I want you," I said huskily.

He wrapped an arm around my waist as he pressed himself against me. "I need you too." His words sent a thrill of excitement and desire throughout me. God, he was good at this. I moaned again as I felt his hand drift underneath my skirt and stroke my inner thigh slowly. He started to gently squeeze me as he continued to move his hand in slow circular motions.

He looked up at me with the most adoring expression on his face and smirks wickedly. "Is that good?" he whispered softly. "Do you like how much I'm touching you right now?"

I nodded my head in response as a small blush spread across my cheeks. I did not think I could get any hotter. I was literally burning up from the inside. His hand traveled up my leg to my thigh where he continued to gently rub it. His movements slow slightly and became more deliberate until he suddenly lifted his hand and slipped two fingers inside of me. He pumped his hand in and out quickly as he watched my face contort into a mixture of pleasure and pain. My breathing quickened as the waves of pleasure increase in intensity.

I bit my lip to keep myself from screaming out loud and I grabbed the seat below me. He kept pumping his hand inside of me while keeping his eyes focused on my face. My breathing became ragged as the orgasm hit me. The feeling of him stroking me like this was absolutely heaven. There wasn't anything else I would like more than for this man to do this to me. He did not stop moving his fingers however until he pulled them out and wrapped his hand around my left thigh and squeezed lightly.

I gasped for air as I tried to recover from my orgasm and my breathing slowed. His eyes never left mine, but he started to speak. "You're beautiful," he said quietly. "Even if you scream and push me away. You’re still beautiful." His warm brown eyes gazed intently at mine as his fingers continued their rhythmic movement. I wanted to tell him so many things right now but I found my voice failing me. I could not form coherent sentences. All I could do was stare at him and let him know how much I loved him. He smiled and leaned forward to kiss me again. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment. I felt his lips brush against mine and I could not help but smile.

Just this simple contact with him was enough to make my body hum with happiness. “I love you,” he whispered. I opened my eyes and watched him carefully. “Forever and always," he added. His smile widened and his eyes lit up. I grinned back at him and nodded my head.
