The Return of My First Love novel Chapter 51

Emily

Alessio kept his promise by staying with me in bed. He made it clear to everyone in the mansion that he was not to be disturbed, even going as far as turning off his phone.

He gave me his full attention as we binged a show. His ability to become completely immersed was unexpected, but watching him get so invested in the plots and characters was adorable.

It brought a smile to my face and made me realize that he was just as crazy as everyone else.

At one point, we took a break to greet Naty, who had told us all about her day, and after that, we returned to our marathon in the bedroom.

By now, it was already midnight, but I didn't mind.

"By the way, tomorrow is our monthly Fanucci brunch. Everyone expects you guys there," Alessio mentioned out of nowhere.

"Who is 'everyone'?" My throat went dry at his late invitation.

"Grandma, uncle, aunties, cousins, everyone," he said as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

I panicked. "And you're just telling me this now?"

Alessio shrugged like it wasn't that much of a problEmily. "It's not a big deal, don't worry about it."

"You're telling me I'm about to meet your grandma and you're telling me not to worry about it?" I whispered the last part.

Alessio shot me a half-smile. "You'll be fine, everyone likes you." he softly slapped my thigh.

"Your uncle doesn't, and neither does your dad," I pointed out, rEmilyEmilybering the few cold interactions.

"If my uncle and dad really didn't like you, you wouldn't be here right now. Trust me," Alessio tried calming me down, but it didn't really do much. "So, what do I wear?"

"Usually, we wear clothes," he commented. I laughed out loud to the point where tears pricked in my eyes.

"You know that's not what I meant," I said, wiping thEmily away.

Alessio placed his hand on top of mine, and a strange feeling traveled through my body. He rubbed his thumb over my hand and we locked eyes. "You get to wear whatever you want. Those are the perks of being beautiful."

"So, ugly people don't get to wear whatever they want?" I stammered, not knowing how to deal with the indirect compliment. I had to convince myself that, that was really what he meant. "Do you really think I'm beautiful?"

Alessio trapped my chin between his fingers as he looked into my eyes. "I do."

My heart raced as I held his gaze. His eyes were too beautiful to explain. They were the eyes of the person who had ended up saving me by taking me in, and the eyes of the person I was falling for.

There, I said it.

Now that it was out of the way, I didn't have to fool myself anymore.

I bit my lip as we both leaned in closer, but then we stopped, inches away from each other. I looked from his lips to his eyes, back to his lips, wondering what might happen if neither one of us would pull away.

Alessio leaned closer and I felt his breath on my lips. I closed my eyes, waiting for him to kiss me as he brushed his lips against mine.

Only he never did.

Flustered, I opened my eyes and looked at him, still unsure what to do. What was holding him back?

He leaned in again, but this time he pressed his lips against mine and didn't hold back. He traced my lips with his tongue, and I opened my mouth to let him in.

This time was different. I wanted Alessio. All of him.

"Come on, I'm not some sad broken girl," I brushed his arm. "I know what I want."

"You know what you want?" Alessio leaned down to connect our lips again in a deep kiss. Now that he heard me loud and clear, his hand moved upwards to cup my breast again.

A low moan left my mouth as he gently squeezed and kneaded my breast. His touch getting a bit more aggressive passing with the second. I gasped, feeling an ache between my legs.

I almost begged him to kiss me again when he had pulled away to rEmilyove my nightgown. He rEmilyoved my bra and his eyes roamed over my naked body with an impressed look. "I think I finally get the hype."

Before I could ask him what he was talking about, he leaned down to capture one of my hardened nipples in his mouth, driving me nearly insane.

My back arched off the bed as I let out a soft moan, trying to keep as quiet as possible. He had barely done anything, and I was close to being a mess.

I bit my lip as he moved down to trail hot kisses down my stomach until he had reached my thighs.

He hooked his fingers into the waistband of my panties and slowly pulled thEmily down and off before tossing thEmily aside. I could finally take a breath as he paused to stare at my bare pussy, glistening with arousal.

It was common for me to turn self-conscious, but this time I wasn't. I spread my legs wider, silently daring him to do something about it. With a light touch, Alessio ran his fingers along my folds and my breath hitched.

I waited in anticipation as he brought his head closer to my heat, and he inhaled deeply as one would do when they would smell perfume. The expression in his eyes had changed. He looked eager, hungry.

"Is this okay?" he looked up, his mouth inches away from my pussy.

"Yes."
