CHAPTER 33.

"I don't have to suck your dick to prove a point, Lorenzo." I said with my arms folded.

He rub his thumb on the tip, tighten his hold around the length and then began to rub it up and down while walking towards me.

His dark eyes through those strands, stared at me in an extreme force and it was too much.

"Oh yeah? I see it clouding behind your eyes dolce, don't deny it." (Sweet)

Trembling from the overpowering gaze, I found myself walking backwards into the water and before I know it, I tripped over my foot and fell into it.

I closed my eyes as the water soaked me, ears muffling as the water slid into them. It wasn't too deep so I quickly stand, body shaking from the cold as I pulled my eyes open.

Lorenzo stood above me, both of his hands now behind his head as he chuckled.

I narrowed my eyes at him and throw my hands up. "This isn't funny Lorenzo and I'll make sure karma get your ass back for that one."

"Blaming me for your clumsiness is a low blow dolce." He smirked and then jumped into the water, the rough ripples of the water pushed me back from his jump which throw me underneath.

Annoyance ride me when I push my body up and sent the asshole a glare when he chuckled.

We were in the middle of the water and with my hair now sticking to my face, I push it back and decided to take off the wet shirt seeing that it was sticking to my body annoyingly.

"Why did you bring me here?" I asked him curiously as I took off the blouse which left me in my red lace bra, I throw the blouse to the edge of the river and stared up at him as he came over to my side.

"Why do you like asking questions." He lift both of his eye brows which went up underneath his hair that stuck to his eyes and nose.

"You can't answer my question with another question Lorenzo." I bit my lips softly as his body heat wrapped around me.

He craned his neck down at me and rub a thumb on his bottom lip as he scanned his eyes over face, maybe gauging my facial expression.

Before I could even blink he came up towards me, his forearms brushing on my shoulders as I tilt my head back to stare up at him.

He wrap a hand around my waist and pulled me to his side, eyes holding mine so deep and heated, I parted my lips.

"Honestly." His voice turned hoarse as he paused, still scanning my face until I felt like something was on it.

"I don't know why, because this is a secret place that I haven't brought anyone. Not even Xamuela, so tell me Miss. Aurora.."

I clenched my eyes closed as he tilt his head down and with his lips on my ears, they moved as he grunted out. "Why did I do that.."

"I-I don't know...maybe you feel comfortable around me." I tested the words and I paused my breathing as he hummed.

He removed his body, taking away his body heat as he settles on his back with his arms stretch out on the water as he float.

I did the same which placed me beside him, he turn his head to the side with his eyes closed and I pushed away the feeling of guilt as it resurface.

He looked so peaceful and I knew he was loosening up around me. Fuck, why was I feeling guilty about using him for my own pleasure to forget about River?

Even though he was the one that killed my fiancé, some where deep inside, my subconscious pleaded me to remember that he was human. He had feelings.

"You know when I was little, my mom always took me to the river as she washed our clothes. We didn't have much and my father was absent most of the time so I pretty much didn't know him. Silent river runs deep, she would say..."

He pulled his eyes open and I listen as he spoke, his gaze going back in memory.

"And as I grew older I understood what she meant which allowed me to draw a conclusion about you."

He connected our eyes together and I couldn't help the small smile that came up on my lips from the intensity it brings.

"What do you think?"

"You're holding back..." He trailed off and then pulled his body towards me, I felt my heart pulsate up as he drew closer and I swallowed.

"Holding back from what?"

He lick his lips and roamed my face with his eyes. "You're still holding unto the past that you can't see what's infront of you dolce."

He clenched his jaw and I frowned at his words. I sighed and turn my head, my eyes staring up at the stars above the arched trees.

"You don't understand Lorenzo...River was my all. He did a lot for me and I can't bloody forget that."

I heard the rush of the water which ripples it and moves me a bit as Lorenzo stand.

"You do realize that the more you hold unto the past, it's the more your future is going to move past you and you're gonna wake up one day asking yourself why the fuck you didn't try harder to let go. Trust me time is of the essence and it is also cruel when you're bounded by your past."

He shook his head and left, his large back expanding as he walked up the edge and towards his clothes on the hammock.

My guilt now returning full forced and I couldn't do anything about it. Tears spring up at the corner of my eyes as I closed them.

The rushing of the waterfall flows with my tears as the cold water soaked over my floating body.
