Alliana stood by the large window, gazing out over the entire city from her boyfriend's condo.
Marshall, coming down the stairs from their room, noticed her and wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his face on her shoulder.
"Is something still bothering you, love?" he asked gently.
"I'm just thinking... everything's been happening so fast between us. We only met recently, and there are still so many things I don't know about you," Alliana replied, turning to face him. She wrapped her arms around his neck, looking into his eyes before taking a deep breath.
"Hmm... are you saying you shouldn't trust me? Is this because of Ms. Tan?" Marshall asked. She said nothing, leaning her head against his chest as he held her tightly.
"Love... from the moment I met you, I knew I loved you. And even as we spent more time together, my feelings only grew deeper. I won't let anything ruin the trust you have in me," he assured her, kissing her forehead and holding her close.
He gently lifted her face to look into her eyes. "Promise me you won't ever hurt me," she whispered tearfully.
Marshall wiped away her tears. "I promise, love. I want you for the rest of my life," he said, then leaned in to kiss her.

Their kiss deepened, and Alliana's arms tightened around his neck as she kissed him with all her heart.
"I love you, love," Alliana whispered, breathless.
Marshall pulled back just enough to meet her gaze. "I love you so much, love... sayo lang ako, sayo lang," he murmured softly.
The couple shared more passionate kisses, and Marshall carefully lifted Alliana, carrying her over to the sofa without breaking their kiss.
"Mmm... ugh..." Alliana moaned softly as Marshall's lips traveled down to her neck.
"Give me kids, love," Marshall whispered, breathless.
"I will, love..." she replied, making his kisses deepen with newfound intensity at her words.
"Ughh..." Alliana gasped as Marshall's hands began to massage her chest gently.
Marshall broke their kiss briefly to remove her blouse, sliding it off slowly. He then undid her bra, continuing to place tender kisses on each side of her chest.
"Hmmm... Ahh..." Alliana moaned, her fingers threading through Marshall's hair as his lips and tongue caressed her chest.
Alliana urgently pulled off Marshall's shirt, causing him to pause his kisses on her chest. Marshall slipped off the rest of his clothes, revealing his bare body to her. Gently, he removed her last garment as well.
He kissed her deeply again, lifting her in his arms as she wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. Marshall carried her up the stairs, their passionate kisses unbroken, both feeling the growing heat between them now, with nothing left in the way.
