Finding Beauty in the Darkness
“I’ll only be gone for the weekend. Stay here and behave, please.” He picks up his suitcase and gives me a kiss. It ends too quickly, so I grab his neck and pull him back down into a more passionate kiss, our tongues exploring each other’s mouths. I suck on his lips and when we finally separate, I’m panting unabashedly, needing more.
I look in Gio’s eyes and see my entire future standing right here in front of me, and the words escape before I can reign them in. “I love you.”
Gio stills, but his eyes soften and he pulls me into another punishing kiss. Only he doesn’t stop there. His luggage hits the ground and when he releases me, my lips feel bruised and puffy when I run my tongue along them. He pulls his jacket and shirt off, his pants next. I follow his lead and rid myself of my clothes.
Picking me up by my ass, he throws me onto the bed. “Flip over and get on your knees, baby.” I do as he says, my ass lifting in the air, waiting for his next command. Crawling up behind me, he leans down and places a kiss on each cheek. Then he continues upward, pressing soft, wet kisses along my spine. When he reaches my shoulders, he dusts my hair to the side and trails dozens of kisses along my shoulders and up my neck.
He nudges my legs open, and I can feel the head of his cock seeking entrance as his weight comes back down on me. Tilting my head to the side, my mouth searches for his as he pushes into me slowly from behind, a low moan escaping me. His lips find mine and our kiss deepens. We stay like this for several beats, until I wiggle my ass, needing him to move in me.
Releasing my mouth, his thrusts pick up. His hands palm my breasts, his fingers pinching my nipples as he fucks me deep. My back arches in pleasure, pushing back and meeting him thrust for thrust. He pulls back and angles my ass higher, allowing him to go deeper so he’s hitting that perfect spot in me. My body begins to shake as my orgasm overtakes me, and Gio follows shortly after.
Leaning back down, still inside of me, Gio whispers, “I love you too, Aria.” He pulls out of me and I immediately miss the warmth he elicits within me. I turn over onto my back, needing to take a calming breath before I get up to clean myself. Only before I do, Gio returns with a warm washcloth. He spreads my legs and cleans me up. Throwing the washcloth to the side, he crawls up my body and gives me a soft kiss. First on my lips, then on my throat. He works his way down, giving each breast a kiss, then trails dozens of kisses down along my torso until he reaches my sex. He places a soft, wet kiss on the top of my mound then looks up at me, granting me with a playful lopsided grin before he works his way back up my body ending where he started, with my lips. Not wanting our connection to break, I wrap my arms around his neck and my ankles around his waist.
“I’m late.” He chuckles, then pulls back, peeling himself off me.

It’s day two without Gio and I’m missing him like crazy. We text throughout day when he’s not busy and last night we video chatted. He even convinced me to participate in some kinky phone sex. While that was hot, I can’t wait for him to return.
I’m hanging out in the kitchen with Natalie and Holly when Cecilia walks in. “Veronica, the new girl, had to go home for an emergency. Can either of you take over her date tonight?” Both girls shake their heads.
“Great!” She taps away on her phone for a few minutes, then says, “I spoke with Giovanni and he asked if you could do him the favor and meet with the new member tonight.”
“Gio would never ask that.” I look at Cecilia incredulously. She turns her phone around so I can read her texts, and my stomach feels like lead.
Giovanni: Stanley is an important member. Ask Aria to do it. Tell her I’m asking her as a personal favor.
My heart breaks that Gio would even consider me an option. He hasn’t said it since the day he left, but when he told me he loved me, I thought it meant something to him. To ask me to work for him, to be with another man, this can’t be right.
“He wants me to have sex with him?”
Cecilia rolls her eyes. “Of course not. It’s just a meet and greet. He’s booked the private room, but it’s only for companionship.”
