Forever, Amore

9.

Monroe's P.O.V

After what happened at breakfast, Leo had done nothing but make comments all day, clearly trying to provoke a reaction out of me. Inside he made my nerves explode. But I couldn't show him that. Instead I plotted a little plan of my own.

It was 11:30pm.

I knew that Leo was still awake because I heard him heading down to the gym about an hour ago. In this time, I had put on a pair of matching navy Lacey underwear. Wrapping my body in the same colour silk dressing gown, I wandered down to the kitchen knowing that everyone else was asleep by now.

I stood there with a glass of water in my hand, waiting.

Three, two, one...

Right on cue, he entered the dark kitchen with his earphones in and sweat dripping down his bare chest. Not going to lie, he looked fucking hot right now. But I had a plan. I wasn't going to let him get away with tormenting me all day.

I boosted myself up, now sitting on the counter, the only light was from the moon which flooded through the window and onto his perfect sculpture. I watched as he drank a whole glass of water and took out one of his earphones.

This was my chance.

I placed my glass down onto the counter, making his eyes dart immediately to me fully alert. His tense posture relaxed when he noticed it was me. "Fuck, amore! You scared the sh.."

His sentence trailed off as his eyes scanned my body. You're a genius Monroe!

His eyes flicked back up to mine, a smirk tugging on his lips as he leaned against the counter less than a metre away from me. "You shouldn't be dressed like that, amore." His husky voice rumbled, the thick accent making him sound more alluring.

I simply smiled innocently at him. "I don't know what you're talking about."

His smirk disappeared and he was stood in between my legs faster than I could blink. "I don't want anyone else seeing your body like this. Understood?" He growled at me as his eyes never left mine.

"What's up, amore?" I spoke mockingly. "Ahhh..I see what you're doing, Monroe." He chuckled, his hand resting on my bare thigh. "You're trying to get back at me, aren't you?"

I cocked an eyebrow challenging him. "Did it work?"

He didn't respond. He just stood in silence looking at me for a minute or two. The silence started to make me feel slightly uncomfortable as I watched him contemplate his next move.

I was about to open my mouth to say something when he cut me off. "Please don't kick me in the balls for this, amore."

I furrowed my brows in confusion. That was until his lips crashed down onto mine with so much hunger and passion that it was almost suffocating. I stiffened for a moment out of shock before I snakes my arms round his neck, one hand tangling up in his hair as I deepened the kiss.

It spoke louder than any words could've in that moment. His mouth moved in perfect sync with mine once again, as if they were never split apart. I felt his hands slide around my thighs, lifting me up off the counter without breaking the kiss. My legs instinctively wrapped around his waist as I tugged onto his hair, making him groan into the kiss.

Our kiss grew more hungry and I didn't realise we were moving until I heard his bedroom door slam shut behind us as he sat me on his dresser. I tightened my legs around his waist, pulling his body impossibly closer to mine craving his touch.

All of the sudden, all the warmth left me as he pulled away sighing. "I'm sorry." He muttered looking down. "You can leave if you want to. I'll understand. I just lost all con-" I cut him off by grabbing the waistband of his shorts and pulling his body back to mine, connecting our lips once more.

He took this as my consent as he rapidly scooped me up and threw me onto his bed. I watched as his hands slowly made there way to the tie of my dressing gown, pulling it painfully slow to reveal the underwear I was sporting below.

He whistled lowly as he climbed on top of me. "Damn, Roe. I didn't know it was possible for you to look more beautiful." He whispered in my ear before nibbling on it, his mouth trailing down my neck leaving his mark boldly on my skin.

I lifted up my legs so my feet met the waistband of his shorts as I pushed them down slowly, releasing a low moan when Leo left hickeys all over my skin.

I felt the rumble of his bare chest against mine when he laughed at my actions. "Eager, Miss Winter?"

I rolled my eyes playfully as I gripped his hair. "You've kept me waiting for long enough, Mr Valentino."

His hand caressed my crimson cheeks as he purred out his next line.

"Let's make up for lost time then, shall we?"

And that he did. For hours we explored each other like it was the last time we'd ever experience this feeling. Like it was the last time he'd whisper sweet nothings in my ear as he rose us to the top. Like it was the last time I'd feel his mouth on my bare skin.

Like it was the last time I'd be so close to the Leo I fell in love with.
