Melissa’s POVMy night with Fernando turned out completely different from what I expected, but it was so much better than I'd imagined. We kissed a lot, caressed each other, and slept cuddled up together. I didn't even realize how tired I was until I woke up and noticed it was already the next day. But that slipped from my mind when I looked at him and saw the radiant smile on his face, a smile so beautiful that I even felt jealous of his thoughts.He looked at me and it was different, he was looking at me differently and he was different, but I didn't know what it was. The light, fun conversation we were having at that moment, reminiscing about things from so long ago that were still so vivid in my memory, was all quite different, even the way he confessed he was afraid of losing me. I reassured him while also giving him a warning."No one's going to touch what's yours, little bee, I guarantee you that. I'm only yours, I only exist for you," he assured me, and I smiled, returning to t
Fernando’s POVI had been awake for a while already. Usually I would have gotten up, but Melissa was all wrapped around me and I didn't want to let her go or wake her up. So I was thinking. She caught me completely off guard yesterday, not with the message or the beautiful lingerie she was wearing, but with the things she told me. She always said she loved me, but yesterday was different, the look, her way, it was so intense, as if she had let me look inside her.And after everything I had heard from my uncle and Catherine, Melissa showing me her love for me was like she was showing me that I had a priceless treasure in my hands, it was as if she was calming me, as if telling me she wasn't going anywhere. I couldn't lose her, I couldn't bear to live without her, and she assured me with her love that I wouldn't lose her. But it also showed me something else, I realized she was willing to give in, to give up everything she wanted for me.I realized she would give up the idea of marriage
Hannah’s POVAfter Melissa dropped me off at home, I decided to go all out with my look since Enzo had mentioned he'd invite Joe Michael to the bar. I was excited because he'd seemed like such a gentleman, so kind, and he was so, so handsome! I could kill two birds with one stone. Become friends with that Rafael, who I couldn't shake the feeling was bad news, and try to get noticed by that stunning man who worked with Melissa and Enzo.Getting ready for that night was like preparing for battle, and the worst part was finding a white or denim skirt to wear. The problem was I didn't own a denim skirt, and the only white skirt I had was a gift from my uncle's wife that I thought was a bit much since it was short. At least it wasn't tight. It was more flowy, with a wrap detail on one side that formed a rose shape with two ruffles cascading from it. It was actually pretty cute and would have to do. Melissa didn't give bad advice. I put on my lingerie, slipped on the skirt, and looked in the
Melissa’s POVWe entered the lingerie store and I noticed Enzo's jaw drop. Maybe he'd never been inside a store like this. And seeing Hannah's expression, maybe she hadn't either. We browsed around the store, looked at several pieces, but I knew exactly what I wanted."Wow, so many beautiful things!" Hannah looked around."Like it? Then we're buying one for you to wear tonight, since you're going out. Who knows, you might meet someone at the bar. Rick and Ana met there, that's why we had their wedding there." I told Hannah and she looked at me suspiciously."They met at Rafael's bar?" Hannah wanted to confirm and I nodded. "Well, maybe I'll find my prince there too.""That's the idea!" I smiled encouragingly."Enzo, you're taking this one." I pulled out an aqua green lingerie set with feather and chain details, and the garter belt looked like a little skirt at the waist, made of transparent lace, with a demi-cup bra. I was sure it would look beautiful on Luna."Oh my God, I love it." E
Fernando’s POVCatherine got in the car with me, and I didn't even argue. She was just like Melissa: when she said she was going to do something, nothing could change her mind. So I accepted that my secret wouldn't be much of a secret after all. My only question was whether she would honor my request not to tell Melissa."Where are we going?" she asked after we pulled into traffic."To the gated community where you live," I told her."Why? Did you set something up with the guys?" Of course she found the timing a bit odd."No, we're going to meet a realtor." But before I could explain why, she let out a scream."The house across from mine! Aaaaahhh! Fred, this is incredible! We're going to be neighbors!" Catherine celebrated."We're going to look at the house. I want to leave the apartment. It's not safe there. The gated community, on the other hand, has plenty of security, and I'm sure Mel will love living close to you guys. And so will I." I gave a small smile."This is wonderful, Fre
Melissa’s POVHannah and I were standing in front of Lynx World waiting for Enzo. She seemed more cheerful since we'd left the apartment. Enzo walked toward us with one hand in his pants pocket, moving with that typical Martin confidence and that adorable half-smile. He was a very handsome young man and would become a breathtaking adult!"Well, look at this, Mel, where do you find these beautiful women?" Enzo arrived already playing the charmer like his uncle."Behave yourself, Enzo, I told her you're a serious young man." I laughed. "This is Hannah, Fernando's assistant. Hannah, this is Enzo."They greeted each other and Enzo even made a cute comment complimenting her almond-shaped eyes. This kid wasn't foolish, he knew how to charm women. He offered one arm to Hannah and the other to me."Let's go, divas! Lunch is on me!" He smiled and we walked toward the restaurant across the street.When we entered the restaurant, we saw Henry, who waved his hand inviting us to his table. I found
