CHAPTER 41: JEALOUS
“You are crazy!” Aurora told Leonardo as he carried the picnic basket in his hand but even she could not fault that Leonardo’s smile weakened her to the knees. After the ugly encounter with her father in-law and husband, Aurora had spent several days in bed only for Leonardo to walk into their room requesting that she joined him for a picnic.
Smiling back at her, Leonardo was not about to let Aurora have her way. For days, he had watched his wife wither away in the comfort of their bed and thanks to his mother who had arranged for their picnic, the two of them could spend some well-deserved time together.
“I am not taking no for no for an answer” Leonardo responded to Aurora as she sat on their bed, stunned that he was not letting her have her way. Walking towards Aurora, Leonardo landed her kiss on her soft forehead.
“I will be waiting for you downstairs, okay” he told her and then left, leaving Aurora to wonder what ha

“Where is this place?” Aurora smiled, as they carefully walked into the cabin, deep in the forest. The exterior looked worn out and old but inside was warm and comfortable.There was a small bed on the side, the desk table and in the other corner, a window looking out at the hill. She turned back to look at her husband and smiled at him.“It looks beautiful” she complimented him and carried on looking at the little cabin in detail, admiring how clean and well-kept it was. Leonardo smiled, he had never imagined that a woman such as his wife would ever appreciate a cabin as simple as his.She was not pretending as her smile told him all that he needed to know. He could almost compare her to a kid in a candy store and as she turned to look at him, she smiled.“Who else knows about this place?” she asked him, with her eyes shining as though there were stars in them. Shyly, he placed his hands into his pocket and swung forwa

The streams of light fought its way through the cracks of the cabin, blinding Aurora’s eyes just as she opened them. Last night’s reveal had left Leonardo shocked so much that she saw the beads of sweat running down his face.She could not bear to look at him any longer, ashamed that she had chosen her pleasure over revealing the truth to him. Just as he was about to pull out of her, her legs pushed him to her, now wanting him to exit.“I—I am sorry, but please, I need you” she pleaded with him. As though understanding each other’s need for one another, Leonardo had continued but this time, taking his time to allow Aurora the pleasure of her first time with him.Just as if he was reading her mind, he knew just where to touch, pace at which to thrust and when to speed and whisper comforting words into her ears. The heat between their bodies had bonded their bodies in ways that neither of them could understand.But the pl

“Have you ever ridden a horse before?”“No, I have never but it has always been my dream to ride on one. When I was younger I always used to—Forgive me, I had not realized that I was blabbering too much” Aurora apologized. Embarrassed that she was about to tell a complete stranger the story of her life…her true life.A life when she was younger and would look through peep holes to look at the privileged kids ride their newly brought horses and all she had ever wanted was a little pony. All those times when she would ask Santa for a pony and with every year, she would be left disappointed.“You were not blabbering, you were just telling me a story” Cory stared at Aurora, his eyes not moving away from her one bit.“Well it’s a boring story” Aurora told him, whilst rolling her eyes and smiling at how ridiculous he sounded.“I would rather hear stories about you than hang ar

Aurora had never felt this alive since she had arrived in Dallas, surprisingly her drive back home was peaceful as well. Her mind occupied with the memory of the eventful afternoon that she had with Cory.Her first ride on her pony was definitely magical and it was certainly a memory that she would never forget in her lifetime. She had not realized just how wide her smile had broadened until she caught sight of her face in the review mirror.“We are here madam” she heard her driver inform and when she looked out the window, surely they were at the Romano mansion. A small laugh escaped from her as she realized how deep into her head she had allowed herself to drown.“Thank you” she thanked her driver and ever before he could unlock the door for her, Aurora stepped out of the car, totally unaware of the storm brewing. She entered the house and her head still stuck in the cloud, still oozing her new found love for riding.Her joy came

Where have you been my dear, I was worried sick” Signora Carina turned around to face Aurora, worry clouded her face.“My apologies mother in-law but I got carried away, Cory was kind enough to give me some riding lesson” Aurora told her mother in-law as she entered the room. To her surprise, her mother in-law smiled at her.“That is good. I like the fact that you are getting out more and seeing the town” her mother in-law told her and turned around, looking through her drawers for something and acting as though Aurora was not there to begin with.“Mother In-law, one of the helpers informed me that you were looking for me” She reminded her mother in-law who then paused and then turned to Aurora.“Oh th
The Italian's Runaway Bride CHAPTER 48: PACK

Aurora had stopped packing, exited their walk-in closet, only to find Leonardo sitting on their bed and ignoring his mother’s please.Without being told, Aurora knew that it was best that she did not interfere in matters between mother and son. Aurora slowly slid back to the walk in closet and continued packing their bags.Upon exciting the room with their bags in the hands, Aurora did not dare look at her mother in-law in the face but her sorrowful apologies run in her ears.

Her smile had made his long trip back home worth the while.He could not help but smile as he walked down the hall, past his mother’s room and he stopped as he heard his mother and his father’s voices. Signora Carina has never been an early bird and just as Leonardo was about to unlock on their door, he stopped.“You need to come up with another plan as soon as possible” Signor Metteo told his wife, his voice less than friendly as he spoke to her.“I am trying to but this son of ours is stubborn and his wife is not as gullible as we thought she was.
