“Mmm?” He nuzzled into her neck.

“I don’t want to fuck.”

“What?” He stilled and stared down at her, his mouth a straight flat line.

“I want you to make love to me.”

“That’s what I do when we fuck.”

“You know what I mean.”

“Mio amore, I’ll love you until I take my last breath and then beyond, God willing.”

“So show me.”

He didn’t answer, instead he kissed her again. This time there was more passion but it was deep and sincere. She felt it in every stroke of his tongue, every breath that he exhaled and she inhaled.

Soon their clothes were gone. The sun bathed her skin and Luca’s flesh slid over hers as he positioned himself between her legs.

“You’re my day and night, my moon and stars, my sunshine, my life, my future,” he murmured as his cock found her entrance. “Without you I’d only live a half life. Serena, you’re my reason for breathing.”

“Luca. Oh...”

He pushed in, stretching her, filling her. There was a sweetness to the stretching, it was still urgent and the need to come hadn’t gone away, but now there was a sharing of hearts and minds, their spirits had re-joined on the path of life. Their connection was as strong as it ever was.

Serena pushed her hopes and fears for the future aside and surrendered to Luca. He buried deep then rocked above her, stimulating her clit.

She closed her eyes and moaned his name over and over, clutching his ass and hooking her legs around his hips.

The sound of the waves blurred with the pulse in her ears and his groans. She gasped as the pressure grew, building deep inside her.

“Don’t stop,” she murmured. “Ever.”

“I won’t. Marry me.”

“What?” She stilled.

He didn’t. “Marry me, Serena.”

“Fuck!”

“You asked me to make love to you.” He’d spoken against her lips as he thrust gently.

“Oh, God.” Her orgasm was building. “This is cheating?”

“Marry me you wicked, sexy woman, and make me complete.”

“Luca.” She released his ass and clutched his face. “Yes. Yes... oh... I’m... coming...” Her orgasm was there. “Yes. Yes. Yes.”

She kept her eyes open, staring into the depths of his. She was sure he could see her soul. See the very core of her being.

He gritted his teeth and released his pleasure in two hard shunts.

Her pussy gripped his shaft. Bliss spread over her nerves, curling her toes and goose-bumping her skin.

“Oh, fuck.” He groaned and kissed her. “So good.”

Serena was dizzy with her climax. Dizzy with his proposal. Had it really happened or was it some kind of orgasmic hallucination?
