SPECIAL CHAPTER : The First Night17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qhN5rWdyS
(No appointments. No boundaries. Just them.)
She didn’t knock this time.
Matteo had left the door unlocked.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvWyIv1Vr7
On purpose.
Because tonight wasn’t about therapy.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzptdJ62L6
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.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqcokN5Tpx
“I couldn’t touch another woman… knowing how much I wanted to touch you.”
And just like that,17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN70D6blJNC
she was in his arms.
No gentle warnings.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvImZTk054
No clinical introductions.
Just heat.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe2OE80cJW
Hunger.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRKwfkq3Ov
Hands.
He kissed her like it was punishment.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRresi6PMrN
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.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkcj57LJvq
They were peeled, piece by piece —17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqDRkT0Tjw
Between gasps.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc2zhgjsZA
Between moans.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE0kKCHwnz
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.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0OPjLfA3p
The air became electric.
Every touch was slow—not for teasing, but for memorizing.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9xxJk526S
Every kiss left a mark—not just on skin, but on soul.
When he entered her—finally—he didn't just fill her body.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsmU5eVtjv
He broke into her silence.
And when she moaned his name,17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh0I6ZfzJN
he kissed her cheek and whispered,
“You don’t belong to pain anymore.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0kItZWOti
You belong to me.”
They didn’t rush.
They moved like devotion.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenpfhEbgSX
Like two people who’d been hurting for years…17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeeWLXCvo0
and found each other’s cure in the form of fire.
After, they didn’t speak.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCwDDDObrK
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.”
