A week passed and things had changed for the better.
Will visited almost daily and stayed the night once a week.
Hannibal had shown her an other side of life.
They both had.
It was late and Hannibal was having a party while Ella sat in bed writing about her day.
It was a lot of cooking today.
She even made a Black Forest gateau for his part and was now excited to snag a piece of the dessert platter after all his guests left.
She finished writing and placed her journal in her bedside drawer before picking up a book she had been reading every night.
He even started reading it to her to help her sleep.
Moments later the door opened and Will came in with a plate of her Black Forest gateau for her.
"How's the party?" she asked.
"Good.
You know how Hannibal us.
He's a people person" he said.
He sat on the bed and passed her the piece of Black Forest gateau.
She lit up the second she saw it.
"I thought you would like to have a slice before it's fully gone," he said.
She took a bite before smiling.
"It's exactly how I wanted.
Did you try some?" she asked.
"No.
If I'm honest I have a few glasses of wine.
The cake wasn't on my mind" he said.
"What was?" she asked.
"You," he said.
She looked at him.
"I've missed you.
More than I thought I would" be said.
"Me too," she said.
He looked at her as she took another bite of the gateau.
Her fork dragged against her lips causing his mind to go wild.
He dreamt about her last night.
Dreaming that she was beneath him with her face twisting in pleasure as he took away her innocence and made her his.
It was the first time he woke up in a cold sweat, not from a nightmare.
The wine was hitting him more and more.
She was so beautiful and in that nightgown.
He caressed her face before taking the plate from her.
He placed it on the nearest side table to him before looking at her.
"Are you ok?" she asked as he looked at her with dark eyes.
He then dove forward and kissed her causing her to jolt.
Her eyebrows eased as their lips moved together.
She pulled away as her heart raced.
"I need you.
I need all of you, Ella" he said before kissing from her jaw to the base of her neck.
She gasped as he bit down on her neck.
She placed her hand on the side of his face.
He laid her back against the many pillows and hiked up her nightgown revealing her thighs as she rubbed them together without realising.
He unbuttoned his shirt as she looked at him.
"Will," she said knowing that Hannibal could come in at any moment to check up on her.
He already did twice.
"Hannibal will find us.
This isn't right" she said.
"Let him see.
Let him watch.
He'll enjoy it I assure you" he said before positioning his body between her legs.
She was so soft and delicate.
He has to be careful to not break her.
