39. Asshole Surgeon
Cassandra ReidI check my phone one more time for a missed message or call, but my inbox is still clean. This is rare, very rare.When my best friend hadn't shown up for my consultation for days, I went looking for her. Then, they informed me she had requested a vacations time. She surprised me too much when she didn't warning me, so I asked Romeo and his words left me even more worried.Leah left without saying anything to anyone. She doesn't take calls, doesn't answer messages... it is as if earth had swallowed her. Two days ago I received a brief 'I'm fine' which did not calm me down not even a little bit. Since then I have lost count of how many times I have tried to contact her with no results.My head hurts horribly and I'm biting my nails. To make matters worse, I have to go to a meeting and listening to endless reports on statistics or budgets that I do not care about.I just wanted to be a good doctor, to have my own office with lovely patients who would be bribed by a lollip
40. Ups and downs
Cassandra ReidI take a look of her once again. Her auburn curls are now wavier and auburn, extra pounds have melted away giving her the most spectacular body I've ever seen, including Leah's, and the rimless glasses are gone. However, it is her, I would recognize anywhere that gray and gold heterochromia"Wendy Lambert", without wasting another second, I run towards her. "Look what the wind brought"."Cass, for God's sake!". We hugged each other so tightly that we were about to shed tears of happiness. My childhood friend is here, in Florence, in front of me... "I can't believe it!""That makes two of us", I point out. "How long has it been? Ten years?""Nine to be exact", she says once we've parted ways, "since you went to Harvard and I went to Yale"."Right, but the important thing is that we both managed to graduate", I point out. As girls we used to play doctor together, it was our favorite game. The love of medicine was a feeling we cultivated together and we had plans to study
41. I'm in trouble
Cassandra ReidHis hands rest on my lower back as he literally eats me alive.'I could punish you a thousand times like this... and reward you a thousand more'His lips move to my jugular and suck unceremoniously until leaving the mark of desire rooted in the depths of my skin.'In every one of them I would applaud myself for making you my wife'Words echo through my head as he hits my most sensitive spot with little lashes which make me scream out loud. I won't be able to hold out much longer.'I'm going to chase you, Cassandra Di Lauro, through all the worlds so you never stop being mine, over and over and over again'He gets into me with incredible ease to start with strong thrusts. One, two, three times without pause, without mercy. It's funny how with such sudden movements he can move me and make me fall in love more."Cass..."I lose myself in the frantic hip dance as he whispers 'you're mine' against my lips and unable to resist another second, I shatter into thousands of piece
42. I love you
Adriano Di LauroI kiss her lips one last time before reluctantly letting her go. I can feel her excessive exhaustion, her paleness coating her skin and the emerald green of her eyes looking dull. She doesn't look well and the only thing I can think of at this moment is to lock her in my room and force her to rest... However, I let her go with a kind of uneasiness whipping at my insides.I don't like sensations which starts to take over my senses. They want to make me lose control and I can't allow it."Hey, are you okay?". My right hand's question interrupts my internal debate. I haven't been able to concentrate all morning and that's got me in a lousy mood."I am," I give a terse answer. "I'm trying to deal with a rebel wife"."The same old story, man", the lawyer scoffs. Situations like these make me rethink our friendship. I can't stand it and he knows it. In fact, that motivates him more to behave like a real bastard. "I think you're fading, my friend. Or maybe you're winning, le
43. Broken Inside
Cassandra ReidI rush up the stairs and slam the door loudly before sliding my back against the door, tears spilling out uncontrollably.What did I expect? An "I love you" back and making love until dawn?I burst out laughing in the middle of crying.Yes, that's exactly what I wanted and I was delusional to even think about it. I shouldn't have told him, it wasn't time yet. Or maybe... I should have said it much sooner.It's not the fact he doesn't love me "because I'm sure he has feelings for me", it's his refusal to open up and accept it. And it hurts, it hurts me the same way. It is as if an earthquake had passed through my body, opening cracks in my skin until it reached every organ. Broken inside would be a good definition.Suddenly, intense nausea invades me and I run to the bathroom, feeling how life falls apart in a matter of seconds. Trembling, I move to bed to tuck myself into a fetal position and I do not get out of there all day.Vivi knocks on the door and I dismiss her q
Prologue: I'll make you pay
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
1. I found you
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
2. The perfect wife
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
