"You were so cooll!" Cole exclaimed as he came to me and everyone hugged me and praised me till I felt like I would collapse any moment now.

Just as I thought of this, two large arms wrapped around me and picked me up.

I breathed in the comforting and familiar scent and wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck.

I sighed deeply as he carried me away from everyone and upstairs into our room.

He took out the first aid kit from the shelf and cleaned the small cuts or scratches on my arms, legs or my face and gave me painkillers to relive the pain.

I proceeded to take a refreshing shower with Nico since I needed help with the bandages.

Nico helped me take my clothes off and as I stood under the shower, he joined me from behind too and slowly massaged my hair.

Honestly, these massages are to die for.

"I'm proud of you." I heard his voice from behind me as I wrapped a towel around my body and smiled a little as his hands trailed down my arms in a gentle manner.

"Thank you." I said quietly and turned towards him.

"Kiss me?" I asked him pointing to my cheek when he chuckled deeply and shook his head at my antics, holding me by my arms and slowly bringing his hand up to cup my cheek.

He leaned forward and paced a small kiss on my cheek, then my forehead, my nose and then finally my lips that pressed against his soft ones.

Within moments, we were kissing each other hungrily as our kiss became more heated than planned and I was pushed against the vanity.

I gasped when the cold vanity touched my skin and Nico took this as a chance to slide his tongue inside my mouth and dominate me immediately.

When we pulled away for a breath, I was panting for air while he sucked and kissed my neck.

One of his hands slipped under my towel and traced patterns on my bare skin and slowly went to cup my breast and squeeze gently.

I moaned slightly into the kiss, and that seemed to turn him on even more because now I was pressed against Nico while he kissed me furiously.

"Nico—" I called to him as he came back to my lips and kissed me hard before pulling away and resting his forehead against mine while we both breathed heavily.

"We should— We should get ready. Or we're not going to go anywhere except the bed." Nico whispered and I nodded as we looked into each other's eyes and smiled.

That much is true.

"Fuck, Dove, I'm really losing my shit right now. You have no idea how tempting you are." He whispered against my skin.

I closed my eyes as his lips grazed my cheek and near my ear.

Truth is, I wanted him so bad right now, but we were running late as it is.

He pulled away shaking his head and muttering a string of curses in Italian as he moved into the closet.

I followed him slowly, adjusting my towel and searching for the dress I chose to wear tonight for Adriana and Stuart's bachelor and bachelorette party.

I glanced over to Nico and saw him buttoning his black shirt after tucking it into his matching slacks before pulling a black blazer jacket on.

Then he proceeded to put on his shoes and running his fingers through his hair. I bit my lip when I looked at his sculpted body and sighed heavily as I fanned myself.
