Dante's Love (18+)

Chapter 27

Despite my endless questions, I fell in a deep sleep, nestled by Dante's side.

His arms never left me, as if to make sure I couldn't run away.

In the morning, I had to pinch myself to see if it was all a dream. But it wasn't. The damp clothes from the night before were still in their corner. And I was completely nude, pressed tightly against the greek god's body.

I could feel heat rushing to my cheek at the intimacy of this and the newfound title of a wife that I had.

Throughout breakfast, Dante would answer every one of my questions patiently. Once the initial shock and fear has passed, wonder and ambitions peaked in.

As Greek God reincarnated, we repossessed the same abilities that we had in the past.

"Whose taking care of down there right now?" My eyes widened.

"My brother, Zeus placed a temporary figure there. That is until we want to return to the kingdom below to rule" He distastefully mumbled.

"And Cerberus?"

"He resides in the Underworld. But comes when either you or I command him to. Like that time with Minthe..." He raised an eyebrow.

My nose flared up in anger as my cheeks turned red.

"Who is she to you?"

"A garnish." Dante smiled cheekily.

We were due to leave for New York in the evening. So I knew I had no time to waste to go back to the tent and figure out how Cy knew about the painting. Whether she even knew me
in the past life.

However, Dante was not budging. He wanted to come with and I wasn't exactly sure bringing the one person that she told me to run away from.

So I tried to shake the whole incident off as we were about to leave the hotel. Dante went to settle the bags with the driver first, so I got left alone.

"Thank you for the great service, Sofie." I smiled warmly.

She could barely meet my gaze as she trembled slightly.

"Of course, Mrs De Luca. Someone named Cy left you this." She stammered.

She handed me a small box and I opened it to find a nice flowery homemade candle. Recalling that alongside tarot card readings, she also offered custom-made candles. I smiled at the gesture.

I looked at the small labelling and it was a candle that was called στην κόρη μου.

I tossed it in my bag quickly before following Dante into the car.

We touch landed in New York soil and to my surprise, I was right about things changing between Dante and I. Whereas he used to want a casual relationship, now he was always pressing for something more serious.

He took me out on lovely dates, throughout the weeks, picked me up from my work and made plans, future plans for the both of us.

The world was coming to know of our existence thanks to his brother but other than that we were free from any god-like duties.

Dante moved right into my small apartment despite my protest, with Mr PBJ and I. My PBJ took a while to warm up to this big man that was cramming himself to fit on the bed. But with enough treats and rubs, Dante won over him.

Days turned into months and time flew by just as quickly. I secured the life-changing headline with Dante. Due to our skyrocketing sales, I got promoted almost immediately.

Gillie and Jared were also moving forward with their lives and that is with a June wedding at The Plaza Hotel.

It was beautiful and crazy at the same time. A perfect mix between Gillie's and Jared style. Everyone ooed and ahhed at the handsome ringbearer - Mr PBJ and the pretty flowergirl - Mrs BLT.

As we were at the dinner service, Dante slide his arms over me pulling me close.

"Maybe it's going to be our turn soon." He whispered.

I froze, the edamame on my fork sliding off and dropping back onto the plate.

I laughed nervously. He was already thinking of marriage? We haven't even said the L word to each other yet.

"But of course we already are married, my wife. Maybe we should do it in the human world too."

"I- have to go to the bathroom." I quickly said, feeling my cheeks getting flustered from his close proximity.

Thankfully, he let me leave. I splashed cold water on my face but that didn't extinguish the fire in my core.

"Its occupied." I sighed as I heard the bathroom door opening.

However, all I heard was a sharp click of the door locking before I was twirled around. Familiar lips met mine, hungrily devouring my surprised squeaks.

"Dante, I- ." I tried putting my hand out to stop him but his glare said more than his words ever could.

"People could hear..." I trailed off, getting distracted as each moment passes by and his hands traces my body.

"Then you got to be quiet. No one else gets to hear your sounds besides me."

I bit my lip gently as he continued his journey from my cheeks to my neck to my collarbone. One by one, each button of my dress popped off, revealing myself even more.

Dante's hungry eyes took a while to appreciate before his hands got to work. He hiked up my dress to find a very surprising red set of lingerie barely covering my parts.

He pushed the delicate material aside just to shove his fingers into me. He deliciously raked into me, while his lips stayed on mine.

Pleasure was coursing through my veins.

"Say yes." He hoarsely whispered.

I could feel the strain he is containing in his pants. I could not even focus on what he was saying.

"Say yes." He ordered more dominantly.

Say what?

My eyes flew open in shock as I saw obsidian orbs staring intently at me.

"I- ."

"Say yes, Quincy. Say yes to becoming my human wife too. I cant bear to think that you're name is not tied to mine in any way. I cannot fathom not waking up to your crazy ass and your even crazier cat in the morning. I cannot even think about not ordering your coffee and loving your look of surprise in the morning. I cannot think about not going to bed with you at night. I cannot even think about not supporting you throughout all the times in your life, when you're facing your fears or staring and admiring beautiful artworks in galleries."

My mouth open in shock.

"I love you too."

His eyes turned a shade brighter as I smiled at him.
