Dean FrostI drive through San Francisco's streets at full speed. I need to get to her before it'll be too late. I don't understand what happened. When did the doubts appeared? I have given her everything I have, I have putted the world at her feet. We love each other, we are made for each other. We were born to be together.I get to the building and rush to the elevator. Then I dial the code that leads me to the penthouse.The doors open and I automatically stumble into the living room."Cassandra! Cass!", I keep calling her when I don't get an answer. "My love! Come on, Cass, this is not the time to play hide and seek.” I walk around the apartment before entering the room. "Cass…!"I cut off myself when I see the beautiful white dress perfectly folded on the bed. On top of the cloth, I find a letter, which I open without delay."Dear Dean,By the time you read this letter, I will already be miles away. Forgive me for not telling you the truth in person, but if I would've acted diffe

Cassandra ReidMy skin is cold, my body is numb and the surface seems more and more distant. I can't swim, the air is exhausted, I'll die alone buried under the sea... Then he appears: my Prince Charming. His face is so beautiful and his arms are so strong that he doesn't seem real. He wraps me around his body and then brings us to the surface. So I can breathe again, I am no longer carried by the waves, but I tremble due to the proximity of my savior. Is there a more handsome man? The answer is clear: no.I try to thank him, but am interrupted by his smoldering smile."I found you", he says before kissing me.His intoxicating scent mixes with mine as our lips desperately devour each other. Our skins touch and the mere contact shakes every part of my aroused body."Sii mia moglie, cara".*I don't have time to respond, as he returns to the attack with his mouth. I'm about to lose my mind. I crave his warmth, his touch. I want all of him and...I feel something vibrate in my chest, I ca

Adriano Di LauroThe blonde wiggles on top of my legs, playing to excite me with the touch of our intimacies. Quickly, I stop her movements and force her down on my masculinity until she takes it completely. It's not the first time and she knows perfectly well I don't like foreplay.I let myself be carried away by the sensual dance of her hips without stopping to think of her face that turns out to be my delusion and my torture at the same time. No matter how many women I sleep with, she is the one who stays in my head day and night.On the final stretch I take control of her and press her hips so much that I can deduce my fingers's mark will be registered on her skin. Her moans become too loud and I force myself to cover her mouth with my hands while she stifles a grunt through clenched teeth in ecstasy.It doesn't take me long to catch my breath and immediately I push her off my lap. Then I stand up to go to the office bathroom.I ditch the condom, wash my hands, and rebuild my appe

Cassandra ReidI stare at him for a very long time. The raven hair, the prominent chin and... the blue eyes; The same ones that I saw in the depths of the sea... It's him, the charming prince of my dreams. But... how is it possible? I'm sure I've never seen this man in my life. If I had, I would surely remember him.Oh my gosh, he is really hot! And the statement that he has made... The same words that I heard this morning. It's like reliving my dream, but in a much better way. He is here! I can't believe it. Am I going crazy?"What have you just said?", I'm so stunned that I have suddenly forgotten the language and speak in English."How is my son, doctor?". He ignores my question, which brings me back to my five senses. So I push my silly thoughts away and take a deep breath before answering, this time in Italian. “The operation was easy. The patient presented an uncomplicated acute appendicitis. It's quite common in children of his age...", I continue explaining the procedure and

Adriano Di Lauro's POVI contemplate the features of my unconscious eldest son sitting in a chair while I caress the jet-black hair of my little ragazza*, who is holding her little brother's hand.I thought I would be enough, that keeping us together they wouldn't need anything or anyone else... but I was wrong.However, I still have time to make it right."Why doesn't he talk to me, daddy?, my daughter sighs. "I've even promised to let him win the "FIFA" and pull my bows"."He's sleeping, Ella" I answer to calm her down. What happened has her too unsettled. Although to my surprise, she has managed. Is it because of her new friend?"But will he wake up?""Yes, darling", I kiss her chubby cheek. "You'll see him tomorrow. He will want to play with your hair.“Cassie said we should take care of him".She still amazes me how quickly she has grown to trust the doctor. It's hard for her to interact with the upside world. Even with children of her own age. The last attempt ended in a total d

Cassandra Reid's POVRomeo chatters around me as we make the rounds, but I pay him no attention. I just nod automatically to everything he says and drink my coffee. Today is Friday, my last day here and apparently it is also my last day as a doctor. Since no health center wants to risk becoming target of Gibson Reid's wrath, I will have to explore other areas.It doesn't bother me to change the white coat for a waitress apron, however, it makes me very angry. It has been many years of sacrifice to throw them overboard just because my family has archaic thoughts from last century."I don't like your attitude Cassandra Reid", my partner says. "We agreed you'd enjoy this day as much or more than the first"."From tomorrow on I'll be part of the unemployed wide world Romeo"."And? You can not regret today for what will happen tomorrow. Take it one day at a time Cassie. Today's is to celebrate. They will surely give you a huge prize for being the best of your team""All I need is a contrac

Cassandra Reid"I don't believe in coincidences", my friend declares arriving at the auditorium, "and I do believe in destiny. Why else would you dream with someone you've never seen?""First of all, I'm not sure he is the man of my dreams". At this point I'm not sure. " And secondly, if so, I may have seen him on television, in a magazine or in any news. He is very famous, Leah.""Nonsense", she snorts attached to her ideas. The truth is I don't even know why I'm trying to dissuade her, since it's an impossible task. "You are meant for that man, period."I roll my eyes before his ridiculous statement. Me being bride of most beautiful, rich and powerful man in Florence... it is something that will never happen. Maybe I would like to. I mean, who doesn't? 'But what do I say?'My friend is really insane... and so am I."Whatever you say, Leah", I conclude to close the subject before sitting down in my seat.Seconds later, the event begins. In total we are about fifteen doctors who have

Cassandra Reid'I found you''See mia moglie, cara'Those are twice already! The two sentences! There are no coincidences. It's crazy, but Adriano Di Lauro has said the man of my dreams's exact words.I look around for any hidden cameras because this really seems like a joke in very bad taste. However, I find nothing and the document in my hands makes everything more real."What did you just said?. I finally find words to speak."You have a problem and I have the solution", he says. "Just marry me and be a mother to my children."Now I do take a seat, because if I don't, my shaky legs will make me fall to the ground."Are you talking seriously?", I ask with a puzzled face. I see him confirm his words with a nod and a deep gasp escapes my throat. "I don't understand anything! You don't even know me! How dare you make me such an offer?""It's easy to understand, doctor". My astonishment increases when I see him very calm, as if he were talking about the weather. "You need a job and I ne

Cassandra Reid's POVMy friend drinks from her glass while she takes her time answering. I bet she's pondering her answer very well, deducing that there is a context behind it. Leah is very intuitive and at moments like these, I want to hate her for it."What do I think of contract marriages? Well, they are my favorite subgenres of novels", she answers bluntly, "but that is beside the point. Why the question? Did the Italian ask you to marry him?"I am speechless and stiffer than a board in my place."Oh dear Lord!". Her scream is heard throughout the room. "Did he? I nod slowly and then, she starts jumping around hysterically, drawing everyone's attention."If you don't calm down, I'll pretend I don't know you and leave", I warn."Okay, okay, I'll calm down", she lowers her voice a little, "but... Damn! Tell me everything.""Not here". I glance at the curious eyes around us. Luckily, half of our colleagues have left the party to move it to another place or simply go back to their ta

Adriano Di LauroThe driver opens the door for me to get out while my entourage of bodyguards surround me until I go in to the restaurant. I don't even need to say my name, since I'm a regular client here and besides, all Florence knows the Man of Steel's face. For this reason, everyone's eyes falls on my figure when I go to my table.Usually, I dine in booths of places so I don't attract public attention, but in this case, I want they to see me. My presence will give path to rumors and society will begin to ask questions about the woman who is dating Adriano Di Lauro. The sooner they start seeing us in public, the better."The same as always, Mr. Di Lauro?", waiter asks in a slow voice."Just a glass of Château Pavie Decesse St. Emilion two thousand ten for now" I order. "As soon as my date walks in, you let her in.""Don't worry, everything is settled, sir. Excuse me."I let time pass while I enjoy the wonderful wine and check values ​​on the stock market.
