SPECIAL CHAPTER : The First Night19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaALycrlzk
(No appointments. No boundaries. Just them.)
She didn’t knock this time.
Matteo had left the door unlocked.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqRNLpzkVw
On purpose.
Because tonight wasn’t about therapy.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54HvHbPtPC
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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKQqGTw7mZ
“I couldn’t touch another woman… knowing how much I wanted to touch you.”
And just like that,19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNz8C6jQUv
she was in his arms.
No gentle warnings.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ2sYL2PPK
No clinical introductions.
Just heat.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZwCbnv1HF
Hunger.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6HC3yEd4a
Hands.
He kissed her like it was punishment.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAe0uCxbaV
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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEttPSiX65
They were peeled, piece by piece —19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Tj2Df7oel
Between gasps.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JHB9geMMl
Between moans.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiJ1mrKVWZ
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.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4pF4QeSes
The air became electric.
Every touch was slow—not for teasing, but for memorizing.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcibscIXX23
Every kiss left a mark—not just on skin, but on soul.
When he entered her—finally—he didn't just fill her body.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94LAlu93wh
He broke into her silence.
And when she moaned his name,19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4H05a7vvE
he kissed her cheek and whispered,
“You don’t belong to pain anymore.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGBurpMoTn
You belong to me.”
They didn’t rush.
They moved like devotion.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgPpIUi6xz
Like two people who’d been hurting for years…19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8caIOiPek
and found each other’s cure in the form of fire.
After, they didn’t speak.19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2RxPffi5y
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.”
