“I want to see you too,” I asked, approaching him to undress him, moved by hearing him call me that.
“Your wishes are my command.”
As soon as he was naked, I caressed his sculptured body slowly while he gasped and tensed, but at a certain point he took my hands to stop me and kissed me. In seconds he deepened the kiss, forcing me to open my lips so his tongue could slip into my mouth and kiss me fiercely. We moaned into each other’s mouths and our hands caressed and moved, trying to touch and feel everything in their path. While kissing me, he made me step backward and lie down on the bed. He continued kissing my entire body, exploring every inch of my skin with painful slowness. He lingered at my breasts, making me moan with pleasure and writhe uncontrollably. When he reached my sex, he raised his face and looked at me, then descended and, with his lips and tongue, made me explode in a devastating orgasm. I cried out hoarsely, unable to control myself. Before the spasms disappeared and I regained awareness of space and time, William positioned himself over my legs, forcing them open wider with his body. I raised my hips involuntarily because I was longing to have him inside me. William lost what little control he had left and penetrated me forcefully while kissing me passionately. I wrapped my legs around his waist, and when he was deeply buried inside me, his face pulled back slightly to look at me. We gazed into each other’s eyes, filled with emotions.
“I love you, and making love to you is the most wonderful thing I’ve ever experienced,” he stated, looking at me with eyes clouded by passion, but which also reflected the love he was declaring to me.
“I love you. I love you so much my heart feels like it’s going to burst out of my chest,” I said, pulling him toward me and kissing him.
William slid out slowly and then penetrated me forcefully. He set the rhythm and I followed it, rising to receive him. We lost control. We were pure passion and uncontrolled moans, rocking at an increasingly intense rhythm, matching the pleasure growing within us. We reached the climax, letting ourselves go and crying out hoarsely as our bodies convulsed.
William collapsed on top of me and buried his face in my shoulder. His breathing was rapid and his heart was racing. I was the same, my chest rising and falling in rhythm with his. We remained like that until our bodies began to recover. A little later he raised his face and looked at me, kissed my temple, the tip of my nose, and my lips. Then he withdrew, lay down beside me and pulled me toward his body.
“Stay with me,” he said, as he pressed me even closer against his body while I rested my head on his chest.
“We already agreed on that. Today I’m staying to sleep with you,” I reminded him, giving him a kiss on the chest.
“But I want you to stay forever.”
It took me a few seconds to understand what he was saying, and when I did, my heart stopped. I sat up to look into his eyes and found him looking at me seriously; there wasn’t a hint of humor on his face.
“Don’t even think I’m going to let you run away this time,” he stated, taking my hand. “I already made that mistake and learned from it. Don’t run away and face what I just told you, which I’ll repeat in case it wasn’t clear: I want you to stay with me forever.”
I blinked several times to focus and took a deep breath before responding.
“William, that’s a very important decision. We’ve both been married before and we know what that means, I think that…”
I couldn’t continue because he stopped me by placing a finger on my lips.
“I can’t say I was married because my first marriage was just a sham,” he said, leaving me completely perplexed because the truth is I knew nothing about his previous marriage. “I married Cristina because of her pregnancy, but after she got what she wanted—and I don’t mean me because she wasn’t very interested in me as a person but rather in my money and power—we didn’t even sleep together. I always knew she got pregnant with the purpose of marrying me so that my last name would open doors to many places she couldn’t access before.” At that moment he looked at me, and I realized I was holding my breath.
“I’m sorry, William.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve moved past it.”
“Did you love her?”
“I already told you I didn’t love her, but I tried to be a good husband, though that wasn’t what she was interested in. All she cared about was her modeling career; she didn’t care about Aurora either, she wasn’t a good mother. After Aurora was born, she continued with her career as if her daughter and I didn’t exist. Still, I thank her for giving me my daughter because she is the most valuable thing I have in my life, just like you.”
“You are my first love, Devon. I was never in love before; in fact, I don’t think I even believed in love and thought that feeling was just intense passion confused with love, but I was a fool. With you I discovered that this feeling I didn’t know actually exists. What I feel for you is so immense that it scared me.”
“I love you and I don’t want to be apart from you. I want us to live together, to be together. I’ll do whatever it takes to be withyou.” He paused and took a deep breath. “Marry me, Devon. Let’s form a family with Aurora, let’s make our family a reality.”
“William, I love you, and you are my first love too. I think it’s time to open our hearts completely,” I said, and he nodded while looking at me expectantly. “When I married Lino, I thought I loved him and I was convinced of that until I met you.” A smile curved the corner of William’s mouth, and I continued: “I didn’t have a loving family; the only one who showed me affection was my father, but my mother and sister always treated me with coldness and contempt. From my mother, I only received reproaches and mistreatment, and my sister always saw me as competition and imitated my mother in everything concerning me.”
“When my father died, I was completely alone and unprotected, then I met Lino who made me feel loved and cared for, and that was enough for me to cling to him and think I was in love. The truth is I wasn’t, and I suppose he wasn’t either because you see he abandoned me as soon as he found out I couldn’t give him children.”
“I only knew true love when I met you. At that moment I knew what it was to unconditionally love someone; you made my heart race just by looking at me, and when you touched me, I thought I was in heaven. The day I left here convinced I had lost you, I knew I would never forget you or feel this way about anyone else.”
I lowered my head, and William’s hand forced me to raise it to look at him.
“My sweet doctor, you are the doctor of my heart, and I love you so much that I too thought my life without you would be monotonous and cold. Marry me, my love. I can’t promise we won’t have storms, tornadoes perhaps, but we’ll try to overcome all that together.”
“I’m afraid of disappointing you. What if later you realize you want to have another child?”
“Disappoint me? You could never disappoint me. You can’t imagine the pride I feel having you by my side and being the person you love,” he affirmed, holding my face between his hands and giving me a sweet kiss. “I’m the one who thinks I don’t deserve you. Everyone says you’re an angel, and I’m sure of it because you burst into my darkness to illuminate my life and my daughter’s; and I have a lot of demon in me, but by your side and with your kindness and love, I am a better person, I am the best version of myself. You see, I’m the one who should be grateful to life for having you by my side and for you loving me.”
“I’m not an angel and you’re not a demon; most people have been on both sides. If anything, we complement each other,” I said, turning my face to kiss one of his hands that was still on my cheeks, then I asked: “And children?”
