Melanie’s POVI woke up tangled up in Adriano’s arms, feeling deliciously sore.Last night was hands down, the best night of my life. It turned out that, Adriano was an insatiable beast in the sheets judging by the number of times we had sex. At some point, I even stopped counting my orgasms.I wasn’t a virgin, but being with the way, Adriano handled me, I might as well have been one.I felt a kiss on my head.“Good morning, little nurse,” he said in his hoarse morning voice.“Good morning,” I replied. “I’m going to need a lot of coffee to get through this day.”“Why?” he asked.“Because a certain young man couldn’t get his hands off me long enough for me to get a decent amount of sleep,” I said.“I’m not going to apologize for that, little nurse, because you enjoyed every single moment of it,” he said.That’s right. I did.“Do you want to call in sick from work today?”

Melanie’s POVHayley was eyeing me with a smirk on her face when I got to work the next day.Unfortunately, she wasn’t the only one. I was getting multiple stares from different people as I walked in.“Girl!!! You’re like a hospital celebrity with the way people have been talking about you and your man since you both traipsed out of here yesterday,” she said.“I don’t care, they can stare all they want,” I said.Hayley regarded me with a strange expression. “That’s a first for you,” she said.“What do you mean?” I asked.“The Melanie I know would be looking bothered and trying not to look in people’s eyes because of how embarrassed she is,” Hayley explained."Well, let's just say that I'm no longer that girl," I replied.“Oh, you definitely aren’t and I’m sure I have Adriano to thank for that,” she said. “Plus, you have that freshly fucked glow about you which means it’s going to be hard

Adriano’s POVMelanie seemed a bit tense in the car but since we got here, all that tension seemed to have disappeared.She was having funny with her friend, Hayley, laughing so loud that other patrons turned to give them weird stares but one look from me was enough to make them back away.Also, there was one thing I realized. Melanie couldn’t bowl if her life depended on it.I spent a while giving her lessons on how to hold the ball and position properly before releasing it, but I might as well have wasted my time because she hardly struck more than two pins at a time and that was only if she was lucky enough to strike anything at all.Still, she didn't seem to mind that she was terrible at it and was having fun all the same. Her friend, Hayley wasn't great but was way better than my girl at bowling.Normally, my competitiveness would have reared its ugly head. Yeah, I can fucking recognize my own toxic trait but, Melanie was having so much fun which meant that her ranking clearly di

Adriano’s POVNews of the mayor’s untimely demise took the media by storm.People have been coming up with various conspiracy theories as to what exactly happened. A lot of stories have circulated from it being a terrorist act, to an unpaid gambling debt, even an act of vengeance by a rival political party.One thing was for certain, a lot of fingers were being pointed in different directions and none of them were right.Melanie was also shocked by the news and didn’t hesitate to inform me while we were having dinner last night.“That’s so sad though. I thought as the mayor he would have more protection,” she had said and it took everything in me to keep a straight face.It would surprise her how easy it was to infiltrate the security of most politicians. Besides, it’s not like he was a senator nor was he occupying a high-ranking office.Nik did a good job of making sure he wasn't associated with us in any way. So try as they might, they were never going to find the person that killed

Melanie’s POV Everything still felt so freaking surreal to me. I was in a private jet. A freaking jet! When Adriano carried me into the plane, he set me down on one of the window seats and took the seat right next to me. The pilot came to introduce himself to me before going back to his station while one of the two flight attendants catering to us on this flight came to take our drink order for which I requested a glass of juice. I was already feeling woozy with excitement, there was no need to add alcohol to the mix. The plane was big enough to seat ten people comfortably. Before the flight attendant came back with our drinks, Adriano gave me a quick tour on the plane and I discovered that there was a bedroom at the back with its own en-suite. “In case you want to take a nap,” Adriano said. Who wouldn't want to sleep on a freaking plane with a bed!? “This is the most thoughtful thing anyone has ever done to me…” “If you thank me one more time, little nurse, you and
