Between The Flames ⚜️Il Paradosso Book Two⚜️

Chapter eleven

Paradise.

If there was one word I could use to describe the world I was currently residing in, that would be highly accurate and the most suitable.

We arrived at Bird Cay Bahamas after a short three hour flight, landing at a little past noon and just in time for the perfect opportunity to enjoy the glorious midday sun.

My eyes ogled the man before me, following his movements as he maneuvered around the bar, preparing our exotic drinks.
His hands moved gracefully, pouring the concoction into the round glasses with the utmost precision.
The muscles on his biceps flexed when he tightened them around me, pulling me into his bare chest.

I was living in a veristic fairy tale, a pragmatic dream as I stood in the warm envelope of his embrace.
Lifting my head up, I met his gaze and immediately got lost in his fervor with intensity and desire.
We stood intertwined with each other, leaving the rest of the universe behind.

A moment that lasted only minutes but felt like an eternity.

"What are you thinking about?"

Our possible future.

"How foolish I am for loving you."

I grinned at his placid expression. He'd grown accustomed to my crazy.
His lips brushed lightly against my forehead and I sighed, snuggling closer into his chest.

I was content.

"There is no need to exhaust your mind. I have enough love for the both of us."

I lifted my head again this time to meet his soft lips that planted gentle kisses on the corners of my mouth.
So simple yet it felt so intimate and fulfilling.

And my heart was indeed full.
The heat was somewhat comforting as I adjusted my head onto the cushions an hour later, stretching my legs forward as I lathered them in sunscreen.

Antonio's silhouette towered over me, creating a shadow with his voluptuous figure.

There was a hint of breeze, evident by the flapping of the white curtains that hung at both sides of the beach bed.

"How many women have you brought to this island?"

The eye-blinding rays were dancing on his olive skin that was glistening with beads of water as he ran his fingers through his hair. His eyebrows rose, his lips forming into a hint of a smile.

"Give me a second to think and I'll get back to you on that."

As if in thought, he lied back onto the pillows, resting his chin in his hand. I scoffed, which he replied to with a breath-taking grin that made my insides melt.

"The brain in that pretty little head is always working at full speed."

"I can't help it," I stated, flipping onto my stomach and allowing the scourging sun to fall on my backside while I rested my head onto my arms. While closing my eyes I felt the palm of his hand on my ass.

"Nessuno, amore mio."

I released a yelp when I felt the sting of a loud slap that followed with his teeth biting into my left butt cheek.

"I love it when you're jealous," he said, letting out a deep growl as he fondled my behind, "it's sexy."

I arched my back, moving closer to his touch as his fingers slid under the tiny string of my skimpy bikini bottoms and I felt his body shift so that he was kneeling between my legs, spreading them apart.

"Have you ever had sex on the beach, bella?"

I shook my head but instead of responding with words, a small gasp escaped my lips as two fingers found their way to my sex. They slid up and down my entrance and then slowly slipped inside of me and started moving with steady pace.
