Mia’s pov Despite how much I tried to prevent it from happening, my anxiety still managed to bled through my mind, causing my hands to tremble every now and then. I let out a long breath and glanced through the window at the moving buildings.The car was silent, neither of us had said anything since we settled into the car. It’s been over thirty minutes but I’ve been yet to get over how scared I had felt when those people had busted into the house. The ringing sounds of those gunshot still rang through my head every now and then and I hated it.Now that I was with Lorenzo, that crippling fear had managed to subside drastically. As soon as he had showed up to my bedroom, that fright had instantly melted away, leaving me to sob in his arms for long minutes. Thinking about that right now made my cheeks pink up and I let out another sigh, I should’ve have behaved like that, sure, thingsss are not the way it once used to be between us, but that’s still not an excuse to act like we w

Lorenzo’s pov When I finally kissed her that night, it felt like everything had finally fallen into place, like a puzzle finally falling into its tight places, like what I had longed for for a long while had finally happened.As she whimpered softly while her small hands moved up to grip my shirt, I realized once again that I couldn’t lose her. My grip moved from her chin to sink into her hair as I tilted her head sideways in order to deepen the kiss. She responded beautifully as usual, soft, sincere sounds spilling from her each time I broke the kiss.Whether I kissed her, I always made sure to break the kiss every now and then, because I was extremely obsessed with the sounds she usually made. It drove me crazy more than I’d like to admit. Mia is someone who had never experienced any of this with no one until my arrival, which proves that all of her reactions were always real and not feigned like some people’s, and that alone was enough to drive my crazy.She whined when I s

Mia’s pov “There’s no need to shop, we can just go back home and get things I need, instead of wasting money.” I said for the hundredth time but Lorenzo was clearly not listening to me.After he declared that I needed things I’d be wearing now that we’d be staying in this bigger duplex for now, he had suggested we go shop for things I’d need, and despite me trying to disagree, we’re currently headed for a mall to shop.“How many times do I have to remind you that it wouldn’t be a waste?” Lorenzo asked without sparing me a glance and i scoffed underneath my breath.“Spending money on you should never be considered as a waste.” He continued and of course, my heart fluttered but I ignored that and scoffed once again.“That’s just a waste of time and money. I’d rather be in the house now.” I pointed out and he let out a small laugh.“Oh yeah? Doing what?”“A lot of things!”“Like what?”“Like— like…”“Like making out with me?” He asked and color flooded my cheeks at once.“What? No

Lorenzo’s pov A chuckle bubbled out my mouth as I gazed down at her, right as her cheeks began to darken. She avoided my gaze but it was pointless.“Is that so?” I asked and she bit on her bottom lip before slowly shaking her head.“Nope, don’t try to deflect right now. Is that what you want? For me to eat you up?” I asked and watched as she sucked in a deep breath before it eased out of her breathlessly. I reached out and inched her chin around with a light grip around her jaw until our taxes were locked once again.Her mouth opened and closed over and over again but nothing came forth, causing the small grin on my face to widened drastically. That prompted the color in her cheek to deepen even more.“I- I…”I nodded my head in encouragement. “Go on, let me hear you. What do you want?”She was clearly flustered, her eyes were blown wide, lips trembling and face flushed, and that made my blood zing from hunger. The urge to claim and maim her was back in the middle of my chest, tak

Mia’s pov “You really want this?” He asked, eyes filled with seriousness and I hastily nodded my head even though nerves was bubbling through my mind, it didn’t change the fact that I was extremely curious as hell.After the early dinner Lorenzo and I had, we had settled together in the sitting room and had tried to watch a movie together, but once again, it didn’t work out, we ended up being distracted along the way. I was seated beside Lorenzo on the couch and had been pretty much invested in the movie, but after a while, I grew conscious of his fingers which were drawing weird shapes on the top of my thigh. I tried to ignore that and pay attention to the movie, but after a little while, I ended up giving up and chose to instead focus on staring at the television without actually seeing any thing, because my mind was completely on Lorenzo’s fingers which had somehow crept in between my thighs while still drawing those unrecognizable shapes.“You gonna still keep pretending to
