ARIANA
When I opened my eyes again, his side was cold. That's what made me open my eyes. I sat up on bed, holding the blanket against my chest. In a few minutes, Enzo stepped out of the bathroom. My cheeks burned at the sexiest sight in front of me. Enzo had a towel wrapped around his waist. He was drying his hair with a towel. “It's not the first time I'm naked in front of you, my sweetness. Yet you are staring at me as if you can't help but admire. I'm not that handsome.” I covered my face with both of my hands when I heard him.
He wasn't teasing or anything. And it wasn't like I never had sex with him before. But suddenly, it felt like I was a lot closer to Enzo, closer than ever before. As if I gave him a piece of my soul and I had a piece of his soul in me.
I crawled out of the bed and walked toward the closet where Enzo was changing. I wrapped my arms around him from behind, hugging him tightly. “Where are you going? Are you not supposed to be resting?” I asked in a low tone, my heart calming under the embrace of his warmth.
I could almost picture him smiling widely. I was never really an affectionate type of person. But whenever I showed him affection, I found a wide smile spreading on his face.
Enzo grabbed my hands and turned around in my arms. He placed a soft kiss on my forehead and pulled me to his chest. I was squirming in his arms because as always, he didn't try to restrain himself. His hands were all over me. He was touching and squeezing my ass. And his eyes were set on my breasts that were squished against his hard chest. I watched his eyes turning darker in lust.
“I have some work to do. Besides, if I stayed hidden like that, my enemies would prepare to take over my empire. I can't let that happen. I have to get back to work.” He whispered softly in my ear.
To be honest, I didn't want to let go. But he was right as well. “Enzo! Did you think about the university? What will you do?” I asked in a low tone. I wanted to complete my studies.
I didn't want to stay home with those two witches pulling my hair all the time. I wanted to leave the house with Enzo and come back home with Enzo. “Why do you need to go back to that place again? It's not the first time they stood up against you. I did everything I could but everything has a limit, my sweetness.” My heart instantly fell when I realized what he was trying to say.
“But you and I worked so hard to get to the point where I am today. How can you just ask me to give up all my hard work when you worked harder for my future?” I asked while staring at him. My heart was pounding against my rib cage. It was my worst fear becoming true.
Enzo cupped my face with both of his hands and leaned closer. He was close enough for me to be able to count his lashes with ease. “I know, my sweetness. But you no longer need anything else. I am here. You have all the money in the world at your feet. You don't need to continue your studies.” I didn't know how to answer that. For him, my ambition was about money.
He grabbed my hand and placed his platinum card on my hand. “This is your home. Redecorate it! Do whatever you want. Go out. Meet your friends. Go shopping. Attend parties. Live your life. Don't waste your life anymore.” I gave him a small smile in response. I knew he had made up his mind.
“Are you sure I can change your home? You know you don't get to have a say in this?” I tried to change the topic as well because I didn't want to cry in front of him. Especially when he was going out, going back to his work.
I knew danger followed him wherever he went. But that's the life he chose over the life Grandpa had tried to give him. Enzo never disobeyed grandfather. Until he found his biological family and decided to reconnect. He was abducted when he was little. That's why, Grandpa didn't say anything when Enzo was adapting to his family businesses.
Enzo wrapped his arms around me again, chuckling at my questions. “It's your home. You're my wife. Do whatever you want. I won't say anything.” Enzo had his lips on my forehead when he whispered those words.
His words didn't completely erase my sadness. But I knew he was trying. We were two completely different people, trying to fit in with each other. While I thought highly of education, Enzo thought money was the only way of happiness in life. “Okay.” I whispered, tightening my hold around his torso.
“That's my good girl. Now be my darling and get ready. My stomach is growling and I plan on having the breakfast that you'll make me.” I giggled when I heard him demanding food like a child.
“Alright! Give me five minutes. I just need to freshen up and brush my teeth.” With that, I went into the bathroom and quickly got done with my morning business. When I got out, I found him sitting on the couch, his legs crossed. He was engrossed with whatever he had on his phone screen. I bit my lower lip when I noticed how his simple and regular self had started to feel extremely sexy to me.
“Don't stare at me with that intensity. I might drag you back to bed and eat your pussy until you pass out with exhaustion.” Enzo whimpered as he stopped up and walked toward me. Gulping hard, I arched my neck to keep on staring into his eyes.
“As much as the idea of taking you back to bed and roll in between sheets with you, all naked, I still have to get back to work. So, let's have breakfast. I'll have you for dessert, after dinner.” I giggled when I heard him teasing me. He chuckled with me. Wrapping his arms around me, he pulled me to his chest and kissed my forehead.
After a few minutes, he pulled away from me. Holding my hand into his large one, he pulled me out of the bedroom and we walked into the kitchen together. The plan was to cook for him. But he ended up cooking for me.
