CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-THIRTY-ONE

Coraline“What?” Alessio asked when he eventually noticed I was just staring at him and not saying anything for a long moment, my mind clearly not on the dance anymore.I gave myself a visible shake before answering with a painted-on smile. “Nothing. I just haven’t seen you with a medium stubble before.”He raised a brow, one corner of his lips quirking. “Medium stubble?”“Yeah, fuller than a light stubble but less than a heavy stubble. So… medium stubble.”I hadn’t realized it but the music had turned into something slow and romantic while my thoughts had wandered. Now we were dancing so close I was practically glued to his hard body, both of us moving smoothly across the floor.“Do you want me to shave it off?” he asked me in an intimate drawl.Deciding to be transparent, I slowly shook my head. “No. I kind of like it.”“Only kind of?”I rolled my eyes and finally dropped my gaze from his, a little wary that I might randomly blurt out the three little words echoing in my chest.That

CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-THIRTY-TWO

CoralineI woke up wet between my legs after having my first ever sex dream featuring none other than Alessio.His thumb had been lazily circling my clit, while his mouth… his mouth had been on my breast, sucking my nipples into hard points through my nightdress.As I woozily sat up now, the last vestiges of the dream faded away, leaving something real in its wake.The deliciously tender sensation surrounding my erect nipples and the insistent throbbing of my suddenly sensitive clit.My skin felt all tingly and I was so horny I would have begun dry-humping a pillow to get myself off if Alessio didn’t step into the room at that exact moment.Looking absolutely fuckable in a loose linen shirt and light-washed jeans.His blue eyes looked bright and dazzling in the morning light. Literally unreal.I stared at him dumbly for a couple of seconds until he opened his mouth to speak.“Morning, dolcezza. How did you sleep?” A slow, knowing smile grew on his lips. “Dream of anything… interesting

CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-THIRTY-THREE

CoralineSlowly closing the door behind me, I watched as tears gathered in Sofía’s eyes with her hands wringing together in front of her.Of course, I knew what she wanted to apologize for but I still waited to hear her say it.“I’m so sorry, I tried to kiss Alessio yesterday.” She gave a broken hiccup as her tears spilled onto her cheeks. “I wasn’t thinking and I’m ashamed of my actions. After he rejected me, I felt really terrible. I’m sure I’d have felt even worse if we had kissed because you don’t deserve that. So I’m glad he did what he did. I just wanted to confess to you because I’m so regretful and I can only hope that you eventually forgive me.”She was full-on crying now and she looked so pathetic that I couldn’t even hold on to any hurt feelings I might have felt.She had loved Alessio ever since her childhood days so I could sympathize with her a bit because now it seemed she had lost him for good. It still didn’t excuse her actions but I wasn’t Alessio's real girlfriend t

CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-THIRTY-FOUR

CoralineBeatrice and the cook with his assistants helped me set out all the ingredients when I told them what I was planning to make.Before long, the kitchen table was filled with everything I needed while they all stood to the side, watching me like I was about to perform magic.Martina was seated on the other side of the table looking excited.I smiled at her and rolled up the sleeves of the casual top I had changed into along with jeans.I was tying up my hair when Chiara and Tommy sauntered in, the latter holding up his phone like he was recording.“Thought you left yesterday.” I said to Chiara, surprised she was still around.She shrugged. “Decided to stay back for a few more days and I’m glad I did. Are you really making mac and cheese? That’s like my comfort food.”“Really?”She nodded. “The boxed version here just doesn’t hit the same. Homemade for me all the way.”“Well you’re in luck then because that’s what I’m making.” I told her with a grin. I would have to make a large

CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-THIRTY-FIVE

AlessioI was in such deep shit.This whole fake girlfriend idea was backfiring so hard on me.My family loved Coraline. Of course, that was expected. She was perfect for me.What wasn’t expected was me realizing the same thing.That night, when she looked me in the eyes and told me she wanted to leave earlier than we had planned, it felt like the world around me was ending.Somewhere along the way, I’d gotten so entangled with her that I couldn’t go a full moment without the thought of her stuck in my head.At first, I thought it was about the sex. Sex with her was mind-blowing. Out of this world. Being inside her pussy was an experience I would never be able to replicate with another woman.But I hadn’t gotten off for more than a week now and the feelings in my chest only seemed to be growing stronger.Seeing her dancing, laughing, interacting with the people I held close to my heart was doing something irreversible to the organ.I watched her a lot, stared at her when she thought I

CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-THIRTY-SIX

CoralineI still couldn’t believe the last half hour happened.That I had held Alessio in my arms and spoken words to soothe his pain. Even more baffling was the fact that he had let me. He didn’t push me away and even seemed to be grateful I had done it.His mood was far much better now and I could go as far as saying he even looked excited about something.“Still not going to tell me anything?” I asked him, looking from the road towards his smiling profile.We had been driving for about ten minutes now and I still had no clue what his plan was.“Here’s our first stop so you can lay your curiosity to rest for a minute,” he replied as he backed into a parking space.I looked out the window to see a designer boutique in front of us.“Clothes shopping?” I asked him, raising a brow in question.“For you. We’ve got to change you out of those flour-stained ones you’re wearing.”I looked down at my shirt and jeans and realized he was unfortunately right.He told me to wait in my seat and ro

CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-THIRTY-SEVEN

CoralineWe got to the booth just as the couple there were collecting their printed pictures and leaving.“Hello! Beautiful couple.” The photographer grinned at us, showing slightly uneven teeth as he waved us towards the marked spot.“Ten euros, each picture. I print it right away and you take it with you,” he said in clipped but clear English, his accent unfamiliar.Alessio nodded for him to start and he stepped back behind his tripod, adjusting stuff on his camera.“I pose you or you pose yourselves?” He looked from behind the lens as Alessio’s hand slid to my waist and drew me to himself.“We’re good.” Alessio replied, turning to face me fully, then lifting my hands and placing them around his neck.I smiled and pretended my heart wasn’t beating as fast as a war drum in my chest as two clicks of the camera went off.“Wowww, perfecto! Now give me something more relaxed, more playful!”Forcing myself to release myself to the moment, I inhaled deeply and grabbed one of Alessio’s hand

CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-THIRTY-EIGHT

Coraline“You can look now.” I said to Alessio and he turned around, running his gaze over me like he would be able to guess the number of coins I had tossed from that.He eventually gave up and asked, “Do you want to take a few pictures before we go watch the sunset?”Nodding in delight, I gave him my phone and went closer to the fountain, smiling then making a peace sign close to my face.The crowd around thickened fast so we left a few minutes later, walking with our fingers laced together through a street with ocher-toned buildings and ivy-clad facades.The atmosphere around was vibrant and lively, with artisans, street performers and vendors in open-air markets dotted everywhere.At my request, he got us matching leather bracelets, mine blue and his black.As he fastened it around my wrist, it struck me that he’d picked my favorite color. He hadn’t forgotten that tiny detail about me and the realization hit deep in my chest, causing my heart to flutter and a tiny smile to lift th

CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-THIRTY-NINE

Coraline“That’s crazy.” I said to Ash during our daily FaceTime call, digesting the information she just told me.Apparently, her and Darren had been photographed by the paparazzi that night they went for dinner together and the pictures were made to seem like they were out on a romantic date.Now she was frustrated because her publicist told her not to shut down the rumors since the buzz could help boost fan engagement for their upcoming series.“The pictures are everywhere, Cora,” she exclaimed helplessly, looking like she was seconds away from tearing out her hair in annoyance. “Celebrity magazines, gossip blogs, fan pages. Darren’s popularity is through the roof here so everyone’s eating up the story.”“Is he pissed too?” I prodded.She rolled her eyes. “No. The fool is as unbothered as always. Says I shouldn’t stress anything because the news will die down soon. Which I don’t believe will happen for one second.”“Since you can’t deny the claims, don’t fuel them either. Meaning y

CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED-AND-FORTY

CoralineWhen I got back some minutes later, Alessio was in the same position I left him, seated with his legs spread and his back straight while staring expectantly in the direction of the doorway.I approached him with the box in my hands, thankful he didn’t look dizzy or disoriented which meant the cut wasn’t that serious.“Are you feeling weird in any sort of way?” I still asked him just to be sure as I opened the box and brought out a cotton pad.He looked up at me when I stepped closer and shook his head in answer to my question.His legs were parted so I simply moved between them to brush his hair aside so I could see the wound better.With the gentlest touch, I pressed the pad against his forehead to stop the bleeding, glancing down at his face to see if he felt uncomfortable.I couldn’t place his expression properly but it sure wasn’t one of being uncomfortable or in pain.A flash of heat rolled through my body when he met my gaze with his and I quickly looked back at what I
