SPECIAL CHAPTER : The First Night26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfM5WTgaC0
(No appointments. No boundaries. Just them.)
She didn’t knock this time.
Matteo had left the door unlocked.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDxnZEG8FU
On purpose.
Because tonight wasn’t about therapy.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1fPLiDMAI
Tonight wasn’t about permission slips or soft-spoken boundaries.
Tonight was about everything they’ve both tried to suppress.
The clinic was dark—lit only by the soft amber glow of a single lamp.
She stepped in, heart pounding so loud it echoed in her ears. She was wearing black. Simple, sleeveless, breathless black.
And him?
He was already waiting—no coat, no tie, sleeves rolled, collar undone.
He didn’t speak.
He just looked at her like he’d been starved.
“Why didn’t you book me today?” she asked, voice trembling.
“I cancelled everyone else,” he replied.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOtcxsoFB3
“I couldn’t touch another woman… knowing how much I wanted to touch you.”
And just like that,26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqy71irl1n
she was in his arms.
No gentle warnings.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDKZIWsB86
No clinical introductions.
Just heat.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWjU3EzOZl
Hunger.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDSPrzDjxT
Hands.
He kissed her like it was punishment.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJWXbZoSHP
Like it hurt to want her this much.
She kissed him back like she needed saving and he was her last breath.
Clothes didn’t come off all at once.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVzarlcLH8
They were peeled, piece by piece —26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ55s91nZtt
Between gasps.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S7J7bSTE9
Between moans.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1hfZsA2hf
Between the soft thud of her back against the wall and his mouth against her collarbone.
“Tell me to stop,” he murmured, voice wrecked, hands trembling as he traced her spine.
“Don’t you dare,” she breathed.
The couch became a bed.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jUhcyY4bj
The air became electric.
Every touch was slow—not for teasing, but for memorizing.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15CoCMVDSF
Every kiss left a mark—not just on skin, but on soul.
When he entered her—finally—he didn't just fill her body.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr2jbbCbpx
He broke into her silence.
And when she moaned his name,26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUoa2M1o4i
he kissed her cheek and whispered,
“You don’t belong to pain anymore.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazUFyzZ8fk
You belong to me.”
They didn’t rush.
They moved like devotion.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUmkeiESaz
Like two people who’d been hurting for years…26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuimDvyrWk
and found each other’s cure in the form of fire.
After, they didn’t speak.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjxkVznVhl
They just lay there—entangled.
Breathing.
She traced his jaw with lazy fingers.
“You said you’d never get attached,” she whispered.
He kissed the inside of her wrist.
“I lied.”
