No one knows what is actually happening behind the closed doors of her parents home or the past that brought her to this point. She puts on a mask to the world and intends to keep it that way.
Lorenzo, a doctor who has seemingly lived many lives never letting them show. He's a brick wall charged with keeping one of the most powerful men in New York alive. Lorenzo doesn't do commitments or relationships; his heart is non-existent. That is until he meets her.

The stocking she wore pulled up to her mid thigh, creating an indent in her leg that I never notice before. ...God, I'm just a man. "Aren't you gonna... take them off?" Her voice was quiet, gentle, like we were in library. I realized that I had been staring. "...Yes." I mumbled, reaching my hand to the top of her stocking and gently pulling it down her soft cream legs. They were almost hypnotizing. I grab the top of her other stocking and slowly pull it down as well. Her face, the color of a roses as her breath sounded a bit laborious. Without thought I picked up her calf, and brought it to my lips, softly kissing her knee. "L-Lorenzo?" She gasped. "Quiet." I mumbled, continuing to kiss all over her knee and below. Her breaths light echos around the room and I can't help but look up at her apple red face. "May I travel up?" I quietly ask, she looks down at me before nodding. Giving my lips permission to kiss all over her thighs. And I did exactly so. Started: 11/17/24 Ended: 04/3/25Complete
