Why the fuck did I just tell her that? Why is it so easy to talk to her? Maybe because I know that none of this will last. It can’t.
“Oh. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to make you sad.” Her smile fades and she runs her hand over my chest, caressing gently.
“It’s fine.” I push my lips into a smile to reassure her.
“No, it’s not. I can see it in your eyes.”
What? How? I’m usually very good at hiding my emotions, but with Aurora... everything’s different. I’m more relaxed and free, no matter how weird that sounds.
“I have cousins,” I say so she wouldn’t think I’m all alone in the world. “We’re close.”
“That’s nice.”
“What about your friend? Julia, right?” I ask. “How long have the two of you been friends?”
“Um, since forever, probably.” A smile stretches across her lips. “She’s always been there for me. I don’t know what I’d do without her.”
I need to know Aurora will be safe and fine once we’re done with whatever we’re doing. It’s dangerous to let myself stay in this fantasy for so long. I already know it’ll be hard to forget her, and she’s already affecting me, but I don’t want to let her go.
At least not yet.
I just need to be careful, because if I’m not, I’ll want to make her my wife and keep her with me, no matter the consequences. Maybe I already want it.
“I have a friend like that too,” I say. “His name’s Theo. He can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but he’s okay.”
Aurora laughs, and it’s like heavenly music to my ears. I love it when she’s relaxed and happy. It makes her smile even brighter and her eyes shinier.
“What do you do when you’re not working?” she asks.
“Fulfilling your every fantasy,” I say, flipping her under me and getting on top of her.
She yelps in surprise and then a smile breaks out on her face as I keep her wrists pinned above her head.
I rub my nose against hers and kiss her. My cock is already rock hard, and I position myself between her legs.
“I meant your hobbies,” she says.
“You’re my hobby.” I slide inside her.
She lets out a loud moan.
Who needs a hobby when I can just fuck her until she cries out my name?

I convinceAurora to eat something with me before she leaves. My phone blows up with texts and missed calls, but I ignore it. If I answer, I’m going to end up having to deal with something, and I don’t want to waste any precious time I have with Aurora.
Theo can handle things without me just fine. I doubt Marcello or Marya are right where I need them to be. Even if they are, there’ll be another opportunity.
I should be disturbed that this is even happening. All the time and resources I’ve spent to track down Marcello so I could empty my gun into him... and right now I don’t even feel like picking up my phone.
It’s just my gut feeling that whoever is calling me doesn’t have anything important to say. Maybe it would matter if I didn’t have anything else to do, but I’m busy watching Aurora’s mouth close over a spoon and all I can think about are her lips around my cock.
Her eyes dart to the clock. “I have to go.”
“There’s no need to rush.” I want to have her for a few more minutes.
Half an hour.
