⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅

I woke up to an empty bed but it still felt so warm and comfortable, I didn't really want to get up. I groaned and buried my head in my pillows thinking about last night and I trailed my fingers over my lips, that happened...

"Did you sleep well?" I heard Gio's voice in my ear and I jumped up. He was standing over me with an amused smile. A blush crept onto my face as I took in the sight of him, his hair was dripping wet and he had a towel slung around his shoulders. He wasn't wearing a shirt but he had on a pair of jogging pants that hung loosely at his waist.

"I just came back from a jog," he explained, caressing my face. I leaned into his touch and he rubbed his thumb over my lips before pulling away. I slid out the bed, letting the sheets slip off me as I did so and he looked puzzled for a second.

The minute I stood up, I felt my legs almost give in and he caught me as I stumbled.

"Easy, " he murmured.

His hand gripped my waist and he pulled me closer to him, letting out a deep breath as he did so. He traced his fingers over the marks he'd given me last night and I yelped as he pulled me with him all of a sudden.

We stood in front of his bathroom mirror and he stood behind me. My ass was pushing up against his lower area, I could tell he was wearing nothing beneath the joggers he had on. He leaned against me, nestling his head in the crook of my neck, and kissed my face. His hands felt at my breast and he cupped them, watching his own movements in the mirror.

He planted kisses across my neck and he moved his hands down to my thighs, it tickled when he touched me. "I've memorized every inch of you last night." He traced the hickeys down my neck and I shivered, "I want to claim every bit of it as mine."

"Gio-" The events of last night flashed through my mind, as he said those words and I looked anywhere but him.

" La mia mente mi dice di lasciarti andare ma non posso dimenticarti. Resta con me, Jeyri," he whispered, and before I could say anything he spoke up again, "Say yes..." he looked into my eyes with a soft expression and sighed, "I'll protect you," (My mind tells me to let you go but I can't forget you. Stay with me, Jeyri.)

"Tell me what you said, " I asked and he chuckled, "Not right now."

"Why?"

He pulled away from me and I watched him slide off his pants before stepping into the shower. I thought he already took one... I didn't dare let my eyes look down. It surprised me when he motioned me over toward him and smiled when I got in with him. The water felt warm as it hit against my skin and the second I stepped in, I felt his lips on mine.

"Warm enough?" He asked against them and I nodded. "Do you feel sore?" He asked, turning his attention back to my body and I bit my lip, "I'm fine..."

He hummed in reply and looked up at me once more, "Sure?" My eyes widened at the amused smile on his face and I gasped a little feeling his erection against my thigh.

I did my best to ignore it and in an effort to change the conversation, I drifted back to our earlier one. "Why don't you ever tell me what you're saying?" I trailed my fingers over the tattoos on his chest and paused when he let out a soft groan.

"Jeyri..." He warned and I looked up at him, batting my eyelashes. "Sì?" I asked and a grin formed on his face, "You're not making me any less hard sweetheart, keep this up and you'll be limping out of this shower when I'm done."

When I didn't say anything, he slapped my ass, making me yelp and he chuckled, "Turn around, let me clean you up-"

"I can do it myself-"

"Turn around."

I turned my back to him and he lifted my hands before leaning them against the wall in front of me, "Keep them on the wall, okay?"

"Okay." He didn't do anything for the first few seconds. All that filled the air was the sound of the water running, hitting against his back. My breathing hitched as his hands touched me and it shot tingles through my body. The scent of the soap hit my nose as he lathered it onto my skin.

He took his time with it, running over every part of me. Brushing his fingers over my hard nipples and fondling my breasts over. I bit my lip to hold back a moan from leaving my mouth. His touch was electrifying, my body felt hot and if it weren't for the coolness of the water I might just melt into him.

He led his hands down to my lower half, spreading my legs open wider as he rubbed between my thighs. A gasp left my lips as he brushed over my clit and I grabbed his hand. "Jeyri..." He warned in a low tone, pausing his actions. Immediately I remembered what he said earlier and placed my hands back up,

Keep my hands on the wall.

"I have to make sure you're clean down here as well, sì?" I nodded in reply and he hummed, satisfied. He knows what he's doing to me. In fact, he's very aware of what he's doing to me.

He worked his fingers between my legs, rubbing them over in circles and letting them slip into me. They went in with ease and I slapped my hand over a mouth as a moan came out.

"That won't do, " he whispered, clicking his tongue, his way of telling me to put my hands back where he wanted them. My knees buckled as he caressed over my thighs and quickened his movements. He held me up so that I wouldn't fall and I could feel a smile against me.

"Gio, " I wanted something to grip onto, my fingers scraped at the marble tiles and he chuckled, "What's wrong?"

I cursed under my breath and my legs felt weak as I got closer. It only served to amuse him seeing me struggle to stand upright. My mouth dropped open as I came and he pushed closer to me, "That's a shame, " he murmured, his voice sending sparks through me, "You've made a mess all over me, what to do about it now?"

He brushed his hands over my sensitive area and I gasped, "It's too-" I could barely make my word as he started feeling me again, it feels good but I can't focus. If it's like this then... I'll want more.

"Too what?" He asked, "I won't know if you don't tell me, what is it?"

"Fuck..."

"You have a real dirty mouth Jeyri, cursing won't tell me anything."

By now, I'm sure if he'd let me go, I'd fall right onto the shower floor. The only thing holding me up was him, and he continued to drive me over the edge. Even when my legs were shaking and trying to force themselves closed he kept on. My arms could barely even stay up anymore.

I tilted my head back onto his chest and his free hand wrapped around my exposed neck, "Show me more, " he whispered, looking into my eyes, "Show me more of that expression. I want to hear you moaning my name."

Why does he have to be so fucking hot?

"All this, Jeyri... From my fingers, " he reminded me, a smirk on his face, "I still haven't had my fun yet."

He pulled away after saying that and I fell back into his grip, earning a chuckle from him, "Let's finish washing up," I shut my eyes, panting and trying to catch my breath as the water washed over me and nodded, I can't even form words right now.

I looked in the mirror at his shirt on me and our eyes met in the reflection. I didn't have any clothes to wear yet and I'd rather not stay naked until then. His shirt was big on me and it went stretched a little over my mid-thighs. I wore a pair of his boxers underneath and they fit me like a pair of shorts.

He had a satisfied smile on his face as he dressed up into a suit and he pulled me into a hug before kissing my lips, "Seeing you in my clothes make me want to take them off of you."

"I-"

"Not yet of course. There are things to be done today... I've already spent longer than I normally would have cooped up in here with you but it was time well spent. He rested his hand on my hips and pulled me with him out of the room, I was a little self-conscious walking around his house, I could feel eyes on me as he walked with me but I kept my eyes in front of me. I don't remember much of his house, last time I was here I nearly died multiple times.

"Do you want to learn some Italian?" he asked suddenly as if the thought had just now dawned on him. I nodded in response and he smiled, stopping in his steps.

"Buongiorno means good morning, I could've said it when I saw you wake up earlier. Buongiorno, Jeyri."

"Buongiorno... So it's like Bonjour?" I asked and he sighed and flicked my forehead, "That's French, but yes."

I giggled and nodded, "I know, I know."

"I'm sure you know Ciao, you can say it as hello or goodbye, either way, is fine... That's commonly known. Then there's a presto, " he said, waving his slightly, "which means see you soon. Addio means goodbye as well, but like... A farewell, when you don't plan on seeing the said person again."

"Oh? You've said that to me before..."

"Well, I wasn't planning on seeing you, Tesoro."

"What's Tesoro mean?" I asked and he smiled, "It means darling."

"How do you say I love you... In Italian?"

He paused at my question and my eyes widened in realization. I shook my head and held up my hands, "Not that I want to say it to you- I didn't mean it like that! I just wanted to know how you say it-"

He burst out laughing, cutting me off and I frowned, "It's not funny. Ugh, never mind I don't want to know anymore..."

He cupped my face with his hand and chuckled, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I have fun teasing you. Look at me Jeyri. " He smiled when my eyes met his and traced his thumb over my lips, "Ti amo..." he whispered softly and I felt my face heat up,

"That's how you say I love you."

He continued walking and I stayed still for a while, God, this man does things to me I can't even explain.

"Are you coming?" He asked looking back at me, snapping me from my thoughts and I ran up to him, "R-right."
