The car ride hwasn't as quiet as when we were going out. We weren't exactly talking on our way home, but
my mind was filled with thoughts. Maybe, it was just my mind with a lot of noises.
| was starting to call his estate, home. It was easier that way, too because for the next few years, it was going to
always be my home. If | kept resenting it and viewing it only as a place to stay. | was never going to be left with
any sense of calmness whenever | returned. Instead of having both of Matteo's hands on the steering wheel or
the other resting on his thigh, it was resting on mine. | felt the warmth from his hand spreading onto my skin and
it was actually comforting.
However, he kept caressing my thigh and it wasn't going to take long forto start feeling heat up.
"Maria was really sweet. | didn't expect her to likethat much | spoke, breaking the silence as he continued to
drive.
The road was clear and almost empty, but he didn't bother driving fast and | appreciated that. More twith
him in his car meant more twith his hand all over me.
"She loves you already"
"Do you feel bad about lying to her?"
He frowned, "It's a secret I'm willing to take withinto my grave. She'll never find out about it because if she
does, it'll break her heart."
Matteo was right. Maria was genuinely happy when she saw us and if she ever found out about the marriage
being a scam. she was going to be devastated. Even more, she was going to hatebecause | was the one who
wanted the marriage in the first place. So was my mother. But Mama wasn't going to be heartbroken, she was
going to be upset. She knew | would always go through lengths to get what | wanted, and she couldn't hate me
for that just for the fact that | was lying to her. | would've hated myself, too. "I feel bad... | just do." | muttered.
"Why do you feel bad?"
"I don't know. Maybe because my family wouldn't treat you as good,"
He glanced at my face for a few seconds, "I don't mind, Alena. | know the Russians too well and they have their
own reasons to not like me, | don't blthem,"
"Papa and Alexei are just probably jealous of you."
"For what?"
"For your power. Your influence."
He chuckled, "I don't think that's the case. They don't likebecause | married you."
"Well, | didn't want to marry Viktor."
"And I'm glad you didn't."
My lips curved up into a small smile as | turned to look at him, but he was too busy looking at the road. It was a

because we never had a decent conversation before. It felt nice to talk like this-we weren't supposed to act as if
we hated each other. It was intentional and I never liked it.
But what did he meant by saying he was glad | didn't marry Viktori
| placed my hand on his, the one resting on my thigh before measuring the length of his fingers. His hands were
bigger than mine and his fingers were long. Mine seemed awfully petite compared to his

"You have nice hands for a man."
He intertwined our fingers, "I do?"
"Yeah, don't feel too proud about them."
Then, he smirked but he didn't say another word. He didn't bother to let go of my hand either and we stayed like
that until we reached home.
We went to our rooms after saying goodnight to each other. It felt as if | just got hfrom a first date when he
watchedwalk up the stairs, but | ignored the feeling and went straight to take a shower. | needed to feel
clean after the whole day being out. | changed into a pair of oversized pajamas before drying my hair.
Then, | went to bed, knowing tomorrow was going to be workday.
| didn't realize | had fallen asleep until the sound of thunderstorms wokeup. The loud bang causedto pull
the duvet closer because | was never a fan of heavy rains or thunderstorms When | looked at my phone, | saw
that it was only two in the morning Thirty minutes had passed, and | was starting to feel restless.
I quickly made my way out of my room and down the hallway, straight towards Matteo's room. | hesitated for a
few seconds on whether | should knock or suck it up and went back to bed but | couldn't help my fear of
thunders.
| knocked on the door, waiting for him to open.
If he was already asleep, | was going to pretend | never cto his room but as | was about to walk back, he
pulled the door
open
Matteo had a slight frown on his face as he stood there shirtless, only in oversized sweatpants. | couldn't see the
inside of his room because he was blocking the view with his body. | knew not to cross that line.
He did say his office and his bedroom were off-limits, Unless he wantedinside.

| was going to respect that.
"Is there something wrong, Alena?" He asked, his voice deep.
He was probably asleep, and | woke him up.
"I'm not a big fan of thunderstorms and | was wondering if you could sleep in bed with me?" | asked, tugging
onto my shirt. "Okay, wait forin your room"
| literally sprinted down the hallway and straight into my room without looking back. Once | was inside, | hid
under the duvet as | waited patiently for him to show up.

He did show up within minutes and after closing the door behind him, he began to make his way towards me. He
wasn't shirtless anymore and | assumed he took a few minutes to put his shirt on-I didn't mind if he cin
shirtless or not, as long as | had someone to accompany me
When he was lying beside me, | could smell his bodywash.
"You couldn't sleep when it started to rain?" He asked.
"| grew anxious at the thunderstorms."
We were facing each other as we laid on our sides. He was already sleepy because his eyes were half-opened
while mine were wide opened. One of his hands was around my waist, lightly tapping onto my body as if wanting
to putto sleep-he was treatinglike a child.
Another loud bang came, and | quickly snuggled closer towards him.
"Just close your eyes. I'm right here," he whispered as he pulledcloser.
| kept quiet and closed my eyes, waiting for the darkness to takeaway. If | stayed awake any longer. | was
going to be tired at work. So, | tried to focus on anything else than the thunderstorms such as his breathing.
I was slow and calm.
| placed a hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat.
"Talk to me."
"About what"
"Anything." | spoke.
"Mm. | had a dog once."
My face was snuggled on his neck as his chin rested on my head. | couldn't see his face, but | assumed he had
already closed his eyes. | didn't mind if he was falling asleep because having him here was enough; his warmth,
the sound of his heartbeat way he heldclose.

| nodded my head, closing my eyes. My eyes were droopy, and | was beginning to feel sleepy again. It didn't take

| could tell Matteo had fallen asleep, too.
The sunlight seeped through the curtains and hit my face which causedto open my eyes slowly, groaning as
soon as | realized | didn't close the c****ms last night. | blinked a few times before turning around, seeing a
sleeping. Matteo.
His eyes were closed tight as he slept calmly. One of his hands was near my body while the other resting on his
abdomen. It was my first tseeing him sleep and | was in awe. | could pay more attention to his features, his
long and thick lashes, his defined nose, full lips, and strong jawline.
God had favorites. | could tell.
We were smuggled close when we fell asleep, but | guessed all the moving in our sleep had caused us to be
apart.
I leaned into him, slowly placing my hand on the side of his face.
My lips curved up into a smile as | traced the curve of his lips. | felt bad if | were to wake him up because he was
probably tired, but | couldn't help myself. | still had about an hour to spare before | needed to get ready for work.
Without thinking, I slowly kissed his lips.
And to my surprise, | felt him pullingclose by the waist before kissingback. The kiss was slow and
sensual. It didn't take him long to open his eyes when | pulled away.
"Good morning," he said as he tucked a few strands of hair behind my ear.
"Morning." | responded as | ran my hand down his abs, stopping near his waistband.
He watched my every movement as his fingers circled behind my back. | didn't know what overcme this
morning, but I slipped my hand into his sweatpants, feeling his erection. He wasn't wearing anything else
underneath, so it was a direct
access.
When I had him in my hand, he let out a low moan.
| went to pull his sweatpants off before throwing it on the floor. It didn't take him long to take off his shirt
afterwards, so he was lying naked on the bed. | rubbed his erection and it seemed to increase in size, too
meaning he was fully erected. He was lettingcontrol in and | felt powerful.
| took my tin undressing myself, letting him watch.
When | was already naked, he immediately pulled my body to sit on top of him. We didn't break the eye contact
as | felt him thrusting inside me. Even though | felt his length insidebefore, | couldn't help but to feel crazy
over it.
| started slow, feeling one of his hands on my waist while the other reached out to grab my breasts.
"Eyes on me, baby." He said when he saw my eyes were closing from the pleasure. "I want you watchas you
ride."
My moans got louder when he started to sp****nk me, causingto ride faster. My eyes were focusing into his
brown ones, and it didn't takelong to get lost into them. They were too beautiful, and | was mesmerized.
This was getting too passionate.
My breasts were bouncing as | quickened my pace, but | was surprised when he pulledcloser, letting my
body collided with his. In an instant, he was the one taking control. I couldn't hold back my moans and | was
beginning to lose myself. Both of his arms were wrapped around my body, tuggingclose as he kept thrusting
in and out. The repeated

"Moan my name.

He turned us around and | was now lying on my back, seeing him enteringmissionary. | let out a gasp when

Just as | was clamping onto him, he knew | was coming. He lefthanging thrusting out and leavingthere.
"What are you doing?"
"You can't cuntil | tell you to," he whispered in my ear.
He turnedaround, letting my face planted onto the sheets. My lower body was raised up to his and when |
felt my opening being stretched by his size, | moaned louder than | did before. "Yeah, baby. Just like that take me
in,"
"FHrxk. Matteo, Keep f*+**g me," | tried to spread my legs wider, but he heldin place, stopping me.
"No, stay like that, baby. | want you to feel it tight."
And | did feel it tight. | felt him fully insideas he kept my legs closed. His grunts and moans were heard
mixing with my own as he was pleasuring me-I was too high to get down and I loved it.
| was sore and red from all the spanking, but it didn't stop him. | didn't want him to stop either as he pulled my
body up against him without sto***ing his paces. Both of his hands were playing with my breasts, tugging, and
pinching my nipples. They were big and perking up
to his touch. "Spread baby and open your eyes. | want you to watch,"
| did, spreading my legs as he kept thrusting My eyes opened to watch in the mirror, seeing him takefrom
behind. It was a s**y view-to have both of us on our knees, him thrusting from behind as he held my body close

After biting my lower lip, our tongues were playing a war of its own. To my surprise, he was inserting two fingers
inside me. which caused my eyes to widen..

lunchbox.
Matteo hadn't stopped looking at me, but he didn't say another word, only smirking as a response. | knew he was

Other than the crazy good sex, he was being nicer to me. At least we could develop a friendship out of this
marriage if we kept pushing aside our feelings. Well, my feelings, | was starting to feel something whenever he

All I needed to do now was convince my family. Mama wasn't fully convinced but she trustedenough. As for
