"You could ask me for the moon, amore, and I would bring it for you. You have done so much for me and more. You, amore, are more than enough for me." Valerius wiped the tear away and kissed my forehead, pulling the hairs that managed to plaster themselves on my face away. "Ti amo, Val." I whispered before kissing him, I moved into his embrace once again.

"Je t'aime, Shira." He said against my neck, his french was relaxing yet sometimes arousing to hear. Smiling against his neck, I closed my eyes and inhaled his intoxicating smell that hypnotised me to sleep.

Morning came quick, I opened my eyes to notice that I was in my bed but I wasn't alone. Valerius's arm was securely wrapped around my waist whilst the other was below my head, cushioning me.

The months of loneliness that went by seemed to disappear as I found my home. My elixir of love and happiness. Having being wrapped in his arms brought a sense of security. The sun shone in his eyes, slightly disturbing him so I opened the drawer next to me and used the remote control to close the curtains fully.

As I hauled forward to close the drawer, Valerius groaned, pulling my back against his chest. "It's too early, sleep amore." Valerius whispered against my neck, his hand travelled up to my stomach and the memories of our little bean flooded my mind. Ever since that incident, I have been disgusted by my figure.

Trying to keep my cries to myself, Valerius turned me around, his eyes were wide open and full of pain. "Come here, amore." My head was on his chest and as always Valerius stroked my hair. "Our little bean is gone, Val." Mourning, I place one hand on my stomach, feeling it like I used to but this time it was empty.

"Was our love not enough for them?" Valerius took the hand on my stomach and brought it up to his lips, kissing my knuckles ever so sweetly. "I don't know, amore, but I do know that we shouldn't lose hope." No words were exchanged instead we spent our time snuggled into each other, grieving for the loss of our child.

"Angelo, I am going to tell her, don't worry," Stepping out of the bathroom, Valerius was on the phone with Angelo as he mentioned his name. Valerius looked over to where I was standing, furrowing my eyebrows, I raised my head up slightly to ask what was wrong. "Shira's here, you can tell her," Valerius said, rolling his eyes before handing me the phone.

"Hello, pasticcino," Greeting Angelo was like saying hello to a puppy after leaving them at home for a long time. "Amore mio! Ah, I missed you so much!" He exclaimed, making me smile brightly, however, Valerius didn't look so impressed, scoffing he put on his joggers.

"I missed you and Sienna too." I replied, "Amore mio, I am turning seven tomorrow and I-" Angelo was interrupted by Sienna saying she too was turning seven. "Oh and Sienna too!" He mentioned, eliciting a laugh from me.

"I wanted to ask if you can come to our small birthday party." He questioned but if I was being selfish I couldn't bear to see Nailea and Matteo or Lorena, who came to visit me but I refused to talk to any of them. I didn't have the heart to upset Angelo or Sienna, I couldn't even if I needed to. "Yes, I will come," I said, locking my eyes with Valerius, which he gave me a reassuring smile.

"Are you and Valval ok now? If not, you have your actual boyfriend here to take care of you." Angelo said, Valerius's eyes narrowed into slits, "Aww, pasticcino, of course, we are ok now but don't tell anyone that you're my actual boyfriend." I whispered giving a little shush at the end which he copied.

"Mama is calling me, amore mio, I will see you tomorrow," He replied sadly, "See you tomorrow, pasticcino." I said, "I will wear the colour blue tomorrow, amore mio, anyways bye! Baci." He whispered before ending the call. What a charmer.

(Translation: baci = kisses)

"Actual boyfriend, huh?" Valerius crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows. "Jealousy doesn't suit you, Mr Santis." I walked away from him and opened the door to my walk-in wardrobe, searching for something to wear. Valerius followed and closed the door to my wardrobe. "Tell me what suits me then, Miss Devil." He said, blocking me from either side.

His breath fanned over my face and on hand travelled up my exposed upper leg. The towel that was wrapped around me began to loosen and Valerius held the two ends together, "Why so quiet now? Cat got your tongue?" He smirked, tucking the towel, securing it properly.

"A shirt." I said, "A what?" Valerius furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "You need to put a shirt on." Turning my back away from him before I felt my cheeks redden, I distracted myself by looking for something to wear.

"Why? Does it affect you, amore?" He asked, wrapping his hand around me, his body pressed against my back. His mouth came onto my neck and he nipped the skin gently, sucking and pulling. "No," I said, breathing out a moan."You're lying," Valerius growled, his bulge situated perfectly against my ass.

"Do I have to remind you of your punishment for lying, amore?"

"Do I have to remind you of your punishment for lying, amore?"
