INNAFFIARE:

To water something, a garden, a plant or a flower

S H I R A ' S P O V :

The flight to Italy was amazing, the scenery below us looked spectacular. From the view of how the land below us seemed so small to how the ocean surrounded the place with its prussian blue waters that glistened as the sun shone its beauty on it.

I managed to catch up on my sleep on the plane. Valerius rested his eyes beside me while he massaged my head. The serenity that comes with intimate moments like this are just islands of memories that you would always want to go back and visit.

Once we arrived, Valerius took me to his mansion that he grew up in and surprisingly it was empty. No one was around. Not even the family he grew up with but I soon discovered that they all lived in the houses down the road and that when he was older he took full responsibility of the place.

My eyes wandered through the Italian furniture to the delicate paintings on the wall. It was beautiful, far more beautiful than anything I have ever seen.

Valerius taste was exquisite and precise, and I liked that. It wasn't dark but spacious, allowing natural rays to welcome his place.

"Stay right here, I'll be back." He said before climbing up the stairs and entering a bedroom down the hall. Gazing out the window in front of me, the landscape in front of me was sure a magnificent one.

Valerius rushed down the stairs and picked me up bridal style. "Val," I giggled "I can walk you know." Valerius rolled his eyes and went up the stairs. "I prefer to have you in my arms." I laid my head on his chest and looked at his perfect side profile. The sculpted jawline and the plump of his lips just happened to make the butterflies in my stomach flutter.

"Here's our bedroom," Valerius stated before carrying me into the room next to us. "And here's the bathroom." Placing me down, I looked at the wide-spaced room. Windows surrounded us and the view of the landscape enclosed us. "This is beautiful." The sun was shining in its golden beauty inside the bathroom.

Valerius's hand rubbed up and down my arms, slowly, before pulling the spaghetti straps of my top down to my elbows. His breath lowered onto my collarbone, where he pressed his lips onto the skin.

"Mm, you're tensed." Dotting his kisses on my body, Valerius massaged my shoulder and the sensation made me slump into his chest.

"The bath is ready. Let's go." Valerius walked to the bathtub that was situated in front of the window where the sun God shone his rays on.

Valerius's hands travelled to my waist where he pulled my top off exposing my breast to the fresh air, turning them hard. Dotting kisses on the other side of my neck, Valerius unzipped my skirt, pulling both my skirt and panties down.

His hand circled my stomach before I turned around unbuttoned his shirt and unzipped his pants, leaving him bare for my eyes. Valerius walked to the bath and turned the water off, adding some rose petals from the bamboo basket and some fragranced soap.

Biting my lip, I looked at his round ass that flexed each time he moved. "If you enjoyed your time staring at my ass, the bath is waiting for us." Blushing, I walked over and both me and Valerius sat in the bath.

The water enveloped us with its warm touch. Valerius took a handful of bubbles and placed them around my shoulders before massaging my neck. The overwhelming feeling of relaxation tickled the goosebumps to come out. "How does this feel, baby?" Valerius rough hands brushed against my sore nipples, eliciting a hiss from my lips.

"What's wrong, amore?" Valerius removed his hands immediately, "I am sore." I groaned as the pain still flooded my nipples. "Sorry, amore, here," His palms rubbed around my nipple, gently squeezing it and rubbing it.

"Val?" My fingers traced the tattoos on his arms. "Yes, baby," Val whispered with his raspy tone, clenching my legs together, I turned my body around and straddled him. "I need something." I pouted, his smile coming to life as he kissed my lips.

Humming, Valerius brushed my hair out of the way. "What is it that you need, bellissima," Chewing on my lower lip, I rubbed my hands on his chest before I glided them slowly down his body.

"I need you to fuck me. Hard" Whispering in his ear, Valerius's body tensed. "I need you to fuck me like the Italian you are." Valerius raised his eyebrows and smirked devilishly. "You want me to fuck you, huh?" Placing his firm hand on my neck, he pulled me close to his lips.

Nodding, I tugged at his lips with my teeth. "Your wish is my command, baby." His hand went in between us and he pushed his thick cock inside of me, the friction between my walls and his shaft created sparks of pleasure, lighting up my body with the flames of adrenaline.

"Look at you, moaning for my cock, you like this don't you?" His words cast spells over my body, making me erupt into my orgasm. "Mm, dirty girl." He chuckled, slapping my ass whilst I bounced hard on his rod. "My fucking dirty girl," Valerius sucked on my neck, still keeping a firm grip on it.

"Fuck, talk more!" Valerius gently got up and placed me on all fours facing the edge of the bath where the mirror reflected our rough fucking.

"You are giving me orders?" Slap. "You're giving Valerius De Santis, the don, orders?" Another slap, harder than the last, eliciting moans from my mouth. "Dirty girl, I think you're forgetting who's in charge," Valerius growled in my ear and I shivered in pleasure.

"You're not in charge, I was the one to order you to fuck me." Smirking, I looked at the mirror where our eyes met. "This smart mouth of yours better be quiet, baby, else I will be shoving my cock through those pretty lips of yours." His hand gripped my hair and pulled gently.

My back arched and Valerius slammed into me, thrusting in and out while water splashed around us. "Mm, cumming already?" Yes, I was and I wasn't surprised. His cock kept kissing my cervix and his roughness was something I wanted to see more.

"Cum!" Valerius leaned forwards and kissed my back, pushing my orgasm closer. "Cum on my cock like the dirty girl you are." The blizzard of my orgasm peaked before I had to catch my breath.

"Fuck, you squeeze my cock so well." Valerius circled my waist. "You love my thick cock, don't you?" Yes I did, but no word could come out of me, it was like I didn't know how to speak any language apart from gibberish. "Aww, my poor poor amore, am I fucking you that well, that you can't answer a yes or no question?" Pouting, Valerius chuckled darkly.

My third orgasm neared as his one came close too. "Fuck!" Valerius groaned, spilling his seed all over my ass and drips of his cum leaked down my wet slit, tickling my bundle of nerves. It was definitely time for a shower.

Dinner was lovely, we sat on the balcony and kissed in the moonlight with the exotic taste of wine swirling through our mouths. A kiss, full of promises and the kind that you want to last forever. We laid in bed, letting the peaceful ambience kiss us goodnight.

Twiddling with the beautiful ring on my finger, Valerius stroked my arm soothingly with a nervous sigh, "I didn't go too hard, did I?" Turning to face him, I cupped his face and shook my head no. "I feel like I went too rough on you." I wanted to get rid of the thought of how he thought of me like a porcelain girl that would easily break at the slightest touch.

"No, come here," I embraced Valerius into my chest and this was the first time that he was resting against my heart. "You didn't hurt me, Val, I feel safe in your arms." Valerius kissed my neck, down to the low 'V' exposing my cleavage to him.

"I love you and I think I prefer your dominant side." I laughed, one of Valerius's hands had made it under my nightdress, where he squeezed my ass, earning a small moan from my lips.

"Careful, you don't want to order me around, Miss soon to be Shira De Santis." He warned with his stern voice but obviously, it was too sexy to be taken as a warning.

"Else what, my soon to be husband?" I challenged, playing with his hair. "Else, I am going to have to tie you up and teach you a very memorable lesson." Blushing, I bit the inside of my cheek while thoughts of being dominated left my mind curious and eager for the pleasure to come.

-

Feeling a strong rise in my throat, I quickly got up, ignoring Valerius's concern and rushing to the bathroom. Releasing all of the contents from my stomach. "Amore." Valerius came up behind me, holding my hair back while stroking up and down my back.

Mouthful after mouthful of vomit exited and the aftermath of weakness hit me like a bag of bricks. "I got you, I got you," Valerius repeated, his large hands rubbing up and down my back. Minutes went by, and the vomiting stopped, Valerius aided me in getting up and brushing my teeth.

"Hold on, I will get something for you to change into." Valerius came back with one of his shirts and a pair of boxers, "You're staying home today. I think it was the food, I told them not to add too much cheese. I will-" Valerius blabbered among himself. I placed a finger over his lips, shushing him. "It's ok, I'm fine." I smiled reassuringly.

"Come on, let's get you into something comfy." Valerius helped me remove the nightdress that clung to my skin. The shirt he put over me, smelt exactly like him and comforted me. "You're staying in bed, no 'buts'." Valerius buttoned the shirt and picked me up, again, I can walk but he doesn't want me to.

"Val, I need something to drink, I feel a bit run down." Valerius placed me down onto the bed and tucked me in, "I will bring food, don't worry, amore. I will be right back." Valerius closed the door and keeping my ears open, I waited until he was downstairs to take a test.

A pregnancy test.

Opening the suitcase, I unzipped the secret pocket where I had asked Abella to keep three pregnancy tests inside. Taking one, I went inside the bathroom and did what I needed to do.

I hated the three-minute wait that feels like ages when waiting, I paced back and forth, biting my lower lip out of nervousness. My hands cracked as I pressed hard onto the knuckles. Once my waiting had finished, I folded my hand, praying for nothing.

Double lines.

Excuses flooded in. I could be pregnant but it's just a pregnancy, after all, it's not accurate. I decided that I would wait until I get all result from the other two pregnancy tests. For now, I won't get my hopes up.

-

Double lines. Double lines. Double lines.

I am pregnant. Tears stream down my face as I look at the three pregnancy tests that are lined up in orderly rows. "Amore, are you ok?" Valerius knocks before questioning, I don't respond. What do I say? How will he react? I am doubting myself, will I miscarry again? No, I couldn't go through that again. Another one would break me.

Valerius didn't bother tapping anymore before he stormed in and looked at me with a perturbed look. "Hey, are you upset with me?" I shook my head, "What wrong? Is it because I didn't give you any chocolates? I'm sorry, baby but you know you can't eat those when you're sick." I shook my head again and inhaled a breath before I told him.

"I'm pregnant." Valerius looked at the three tests that I pointed to and a smile happened to make its way onto his face. "I knew it!" He laughed, lifting me up onto the bathroom counter. "You knew? How?" I hid the tests from him perfectly well, how could he find out?

"Gut instinct," His hands caressed my stomach as he claimed my lips. "Val, what happens if I-" Valerius pressed a hand over my mouth before he shook his head. "No, it won't, I will be there. You are stronger than before, amore, you can do this." His hands wiped my wet cheeks dry, kissing me deeply.

Valerius lowered his head to my flat stomach, raising the shirt up, "Can't wait to see you, my little bean, Mama and Papa love you." Valerius pressed kisses against my stomach, dotting them around everywhere. "I haven't got a bump yet." I laughed, sniffling slightly from my emotional breakdown. "They're still there."

Our symbol of love is stronger than ever.

Hello, my loves, this is a pretty long chapter. I hope you enjoyed it and let me know your thoughts. Have a wonderful day or a good night's sleep.

Any ideas what gender or gender(s) it will be?

How do you think they will turn out, more like Shira or more like Valerius?
