SPECIAL CHAPTER : The First Night28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CF0zqoiPg
(No appointments. No boundaries. Just them.)
She didn’t knock this time.
Matteo had left the door unlocked.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHB4jVf6gg
On purpose.
Because tonight wasn’t about therapy.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmnHsYJSeM
Tonight wasn’t about permission slips or soft-spoken boundaries.
Tonight was about everything they’ve both tried to suppress.
The clinic was dark—lit only by the soft amber glow of a single lamp.
She stepped in, heart pounding so loud it echoed in her ears. She was wearing black. Simple, sleeveless, breathless black.
And him?
He was already waiting—no coat, no tie, sleeves rolled, collar undone.
He didn’t speak.
He just looked at her like he’d been starved.
“Why didn’t you book me today?” she asked, voice trembling.
“I cancelled everyone else,” he replied.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonVIctS0K6
“I couldn’t touch another woman… knowing how much I wanted to touch you.”
And just like that,28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBJ08oLGX8
she was in his arms.
No gentle warnings.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDmZ90JKRq
No clinical introductions.
Just heat.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2opyv3rbc9
Hunger.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7MUEBbHlh
Hands.
He kissed her like it was punishment.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqFQDO5KjD
Like it hurt to want her this much.
She kissed him back like she needed saving and he was her last breath.
Clothes didn’t come off all at once.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLRPAIgZDL
They were peeled, piece by piece —28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v5HCeN3x2
Between gasps.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnhOlQFxAU
Between moans.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6KYsbmOys
Between the soft thud of her back against the wall and his mouth against her collarbone.
“Tell me to stop,” he murmured, voice wrecked, hands trembling as he traced her spine.
“Don’t you dare,” she breathed.
The couch became a bed.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpkZcrWuGY
The air became electric.
Every touch was slow—not for teasing, but for memorizing.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV5jLNwfoe
Every kiss left a mark—not just on skin, but on soul.
When he entered her—finally—he didn't just fill her body.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lNRGnXTUH
He broke into her silence.
And when she moaned his name,28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tDLXkejSY
he kissed her cheek and whispered,
“You don’t belong to pain anymore.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegvDjvY7w6
You belong to me.”
They didn’t rush.
They moved like devotion.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdOjDoSGMT
Like two people who’d been hurting for years…28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBhO4SJ3r6
and found each other’s cure in the form of fire.
After, they didn’t speak.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla8jWt7bdr
They just lay there—entangled.
Breathing.
She traced his jaw with lazy fingers.
“You said you’d never get attached,” she whispered.
He kissed the inside of her wrist.
“I lied.”
