Alessio's movements were slow, deliberate, as he took his time, savoring every gasp and moan that slipped from her lips. When he finally claimed her, it was with a tenderness that made her heart ache, their bodies moving in perfect sync, a rhythm that was both passionate and intimate. He whispered her name like a prayer, his hands cradling her face as they moved together, their connection deeper than ever before.
In that moment, with the firelight flickering around them and their bodies entwined, Emma knew that whatever challenges lay ahead, they would face them together. And as they reached the height of their passion, Alessio whispered three words that made her heart swell.
"Ti amo, Emma."
It was in those words, and the way he held her close afterward, that she knew she had nothing to fear. They were in this together, bound by love, by their child, and by a future that stretched before them like an endless promise.

"Are you trying to get into my pants, Orion?"
His eyes flash gold as he looks at me. "Yes."

It's long since been told that the stars were story tellers.
That the stars held knowledge that no one had.
It was time for Maria to find out how true this really was.

I suppose being forced to stay with a complete stranger sucks. It sucks even more when nothing makes sense. It doesn't help when I am stuck with an obnoxious, cocky and hot man.
Orion. Even his name provoked a plethora of feelings. Nervousness. Dread. Wanting to shove a stick up his ass. Maybe even kiss his kissable lips. Orion.
Just meeting him had been out of the norm. Then I was shoved. Shoved hard. Shoved into a world that causes my body to sweat and have goosebumps all over at the same time. A world that gave me things I never knew I wanted. A world I had yet to discover.
Oh, it was time alright. Time to Render the world Starless.
