*The smutt at the end of the chapter has been re-added. Sorry to anyone I dissapointed but my mum wanted to read the book, so yeah i'd rather of not had to have that conversation but here it is ! <3*

Harper's POV

"Jesus Angelo , you really should've been a chef these scallops are to die for." I remarked through mouthfuls of the buttery goodness on my plate. Angelo had pulled out all the stops serving pan seared scallops in butter with chorizo and a balsamic glaze , it was hard not to audibly moan at how good the food tasted. We had spent the majority of the meal in casual conversation due to us being on our first date but I knew the conversation about Jessica and how to prepare for her reaction was inevitable so I decided against my better judgement to bring it up now.

"So , do you think Jessica saw the article about us?" I asked cautiously

"I believe she did , unless she's currently living under a rock. Everyone's seen the article love."

" I thought she would've retaliated by now , she made it very clear that she wouldn't be happy if I hadn't finished things with you when she came to my house the other day."

"I've prepared myself for the worse." He replied in an even tone " Jessica is a sadistic woman but I promise you I won't let anything bad happen to you. You're my life Harper and I love you, since the moment I set eyes on you I knew I'd never be able to let you go." There was so much emotion in his voice it was almost impossible to stop a solitary tear from running down my cheek. "I love you too Angelo , I'd never ever let anyone come between us not even Jessica. We're a team and we'll fight this together."

After the scallops on my plate had been completely demolished I sat back in my chair and let out a satisfied sigh , " This really is a beautiful house Angelo, do you know what you're going to do with it?" I asked cautiously, I'd hate to find out that he was selling the beautiful building. Even though it didn't feel like a home to him it was still where he and his dad had forged memories. " I think I'm going to keep It" he replied after a few moments "it's where my father wanted to be after he passed, finally reunited with the love of his life. I couldn't deny his dying wish." It was a humbling thought, even though he grew to hate the house he would continue to look after it because of the dying wishes of his father, the true definition of love.

"Dance with me?" Angelo asked as he slowly made his way towards me.

"I - I can't dance." I replied , shit I wasn't expecting this, what if I stood on his toes?

"I'll lead you follow." He countered , this time with his arm outstretched.

I hesitantly took his hand and stood up "don't blame me if I stand on your toes , you've been warned." I said shakily. He only chuckled at my comment, one of those deep husky chuckles that sent shivers down my spine as we walked over to an empty space in the room. Angelo pulled out his phone and tapped the screen a few times and after a few moments, a song that I wasn't familiar with started playing from somewhere in the room.

The song was a hauntingly beautiful one no doubt by some famous composer that I hadn't bothered to familiarize myself with while I was in school. Angelo pulled me into him and the shock of the sudden movement caused me to gasp. "Relax, let me and the music guide you." He murmured into my ear , I gave a simple nod in return and drew in a deep breath, preparing myself the giant catastrophe that this whole dance was going to be. As we slowly started to move to the music I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't actually suck at it , I had no idea what to do but Angelo sure did and I let him lead me around the room to the gentle rhythm of the music.

As the song slowly came to an end I was momentarily distracted by how close mine and Angelo's bodies had become, they were pressed so close against each other that not even a hair could get between us. Out of nowhere, he dipped me, he brought me back up agonizingly slow all the time keeping his eyes locked on my own, I was utterly breathless. When I was stood up right again his lips came crashing down on my own in what only can be described as an earth-shattering kiss. Our mouths moved in union and I parted my lips slightly so he could deepen the kiss, my arms wrapped around his neck as his arms wrapped around my waist pulling my body even closer to his.

Without warning Angelo grabbed my thighs and lifted me up off the ground , my legs automatically locked around his waist as he backed us up against the nearest wall. The kiss had become frantic , full of pent up sexual tension and raw need for us to be as close to one another as humanly possible. The feeling of his hands on the back of my thighs was like a catalyst to the mixture, I felt his hands squeeze the exposed skin and I let out a small moan in response. The kiss lasted for a few more moments before we both pull away, our chests rising and falling in union. He moved his head forward slightly so his forehead was touching mine. "You're going to be the death of me." He murmured quietly. "I can't seem to keep my hands off you."

"Then don't" I whispered , making sure my eyes met his as the words met my lips.

He brushed the hair out of my eyes and placed a gentle kiss on my lips "I don't want our first time to be up against the dining room wall In my dead fathers house." He laughed as the words left his lips.

I wanted to scream at him, what about what I want Angelo huh? At this moment in time, I'm that hot and bothered I'd be more than happy to be deflowered up against the dining room wall, any surface at this present moment would do, visions of him lowering me down on the large oak table a few feet away from us filled my head and I knew if I didn't get rid of all this pent up sexual tension between us soon I'd go insane.

"I thought we could stay here tonight , if that's okay with you?"

"Yeah that's perfect. So , when are you going to give me a tour?" I asked with a raised brow.

"If it's a tour you want , that's what you'll get." He replied. I linked my arm through his as we made our way towards the large doorway that would lead us through to the rest of the house.

Just as I suspected the rest of the house was just as beautiful as the dining room , the whole interior was made up of old stone and polished wood. I couldn't help but stare as we made our way around the first floor of the house. I'd never really experienced anything this grand before, even though I'd stayed in Angelo's penthouse multiple times this house blew it right out of the water, it was designed and decorated in a way I would have chosen if I had the money to do so. Walking up the grand staircase reminded me of the staircase from the movie Titanic and I couldn't help but smile when I came to a stop beside a photo of a young Angelo perched over a mixing bowl in what I assumed was the kitchen.

Angelo led me down a long corridor and into a fairly large room. "You're the first girl I've ever brought into my room." He murmured in my ear

"I'm honored." I replied , my voice coming out weaker than I'd planned it to. "Do you have anything I can sleep in? I don't want to crease my dress."

"I think I've got some spare shirts in the wardrobe hold on." He replied as he made his way over towards the large wardrobe in the corner of the room. I made quick work of removing my shoes and threw them to one side.

"Will you unzip my dress for me? I can't reach it" I ask as he made his way back to the center of the room, as my words registered in his brain his footing faltered. I watched as his eyes dilated and grew dark again, he motioned with his finger for me to turn around and I couldn't help but shudder at his lack of words. I listened as his footsteps grew louder and then stop altogether, I felt him brush my hair away from my neck and place a soft warm kiss on the skin where his fingers had just brushed, "Of course I will." His voice was deep , velvety, and dripping with lust.

The zip was being moved down at a tortuously slow rate, I shuddered as Angelo ran his finger down the spot where the zip had just been resting moments ago. The skin on skin contact was enough to set my whole body on fire as a pool of lust started to form in my stomach, I couldn't help but let out a breathy moan as his finger began edging closer to the bottom of my spine.

Without warning I felt the material of my dress slide down the rest of my body and pool around my feet and I just stood there, my body ridged with anticipation as to what would happen next.

I turned my head slightly to look over my shoulder, my eye's met his and I somehow found the courage to speak. "The shirt plea.." I didn't have time to finish my sentence as his lips came crashing down onto mine and for the second time tonight I found my legs locked around Angelo's waist. He walked us over towards the bed , our mouths still moving in union but his becoming more dominant as the kiss became deeper and more passionate, I submitted letting his tongue caress my mouth as a deep groan rose from the back of his throat.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked, his voice was raw and gravely "You're killing me, Harper."

"I want this more than anything, Angelo," I replied without hesitation. I felt him release a long breath and his mouth came back down to claim mine. This time the kiss was frantic and needy , both of us knew what was about to happen and we were adamant to speed up the process and to finally do what we had both been yearning to do for some time now.

I was once again being lifted off the ground, my legs firmly clamped around Angelo's waist however this time there was a noticeable bulge in his trousers. In the short space of time it took Angelo to walk us over to what I assumed would be the bed, I resisted the overwhelming urge to grind myself up against his erection. I didn't know what'd come over me, there was something about this man that made my blood sing.

The loss of contact as I was dropped gently onto the bed made me whine, but it was mere seconds unti Angelo's body was pressed up against mine again. He hovered over me, only alowing the smallest bit of contact bwtween us, giving me nothing to relieve myself of the ache that'd been building up inside of me since dinner. This was torture, delicious torture and by the look in his eyes he knew exactly what he was doing.

Angelo lowered his head and began kissing my neck, gently at first before the kisses turned into nips that were then followed by another kiss long and hot kiss. He moved his way down to my chest, continuing the slow torture. My body was hyper-aware of every move he was making, it was as if my whole body was on fire. I wanted him closer, no I needed him to be closer but I couldn't remember how to speak. The only sounds coming from me were small whimpers and the occasional moan, if I was even remotely aware of what I was doing I would've been completely embarrassed.

My whole body jolted as Angelo's mouth latched onto my nipple, his mouth was warm and hot as he sucked and nipped at the sensitive bit of skin. I let out a breathy moan as his attention turned to the other. The ache between my thigs was slowly beginging to grow, surley he couldn't make me climax like this?

"Angelo, Please." I moaned, finally finding the ability to speak. I needed this man more than anything, more than anything I'd needed in my entire life. "Tell me what you want, Love." He murmured against my skin, his chest was heaving and I knew he was having trouble holding his composure, but thats the exact thing I wanted him not to do. I wanted him to lose himself, all of this pent up sexual tension and weeks of anxiety had finally led to this, and not one part of me wanted him to hold back.

Angelo continued his asult on my breasts, only stopping for a breif moment to let the ache dye down just enough to leave me balancing on the edge. "I need you, Angelo. Fuck." I moaned as he used his free hand to slide into my underwear. "You're soaking." He murmured, a slight tinge of pride in his voice has his fingers touched me. His words were almost my undoing, I was an utter mess and he'd not even touched me properly.

My hips began moving, I needed to relieve some of this tension before I exploded, Angelo clearly had other idea's. As quickly as he'd given me some much needed contact he withdrew his hand and chuckled. "Naughty girl" He murmured into my ear, "You can cum when I say you can." His eyes met mine and I knew he was deadly serious, but even though I was completly inexperianced in this department I planned on driving him just as crazy. Game on Deluca.

I lifted my body slightly, propping myself up on an elbow. without breaking eye contact I placed a small kiss on Angelo's lips, then another under his ear as I began unbuttoning his shirt. "Your trousers, take them off." I murmured, mustering faux confidance from somewhere. Angelo did as I said, unbuckling his belt and sliding his trousers off. He looked like an underwear model, half led down and half sat up with his white dress shirt unbuttoned, and he was all mine and I intended to take complete advantage of that.

"You never told me what you wanted, Harper." Angelo murmured as he shifted so I was now straddling him. It was now or never, mustering all of the courage I had left, I urged myself to answer him. "Fuck me, Angelo. I want you to fuck me." They may not have been the most romantic words I could've used but I knew they'd do the job.

I was sure I heard a growl as thoes words left my lips, before I had time to react I was being flipped over and was once again pressed into the matress and pinned into place by Angelo's hips. "Are you sure you want this." he rasped, "I need to know this is what you really want." I swallowed and nodded, but he wanted more. Angelo's hand grabbed my chin and made my eyes meet his own, "Please." I murmured, "I need you."

Thoes three small words were his undoing, it was as if a switch had been flipped. The energy in the room had shifted, it was more feral and charged.

I was sure I was panting as Angelo began to slowly pull my underwear down my legs. His eyes never left mine, in this moment it was just the two of us and nothing else mattered. Angelo shrugged off his shirt and threw it on the floor, my eyes were glued to him as he began removing his boxers. His erection sprung free and I had to surpress a gasp, how was all of that going to fit inside me? I daren't let even a moment of hesitation show on my face as I knew he'd not go through with it.

"You're so beautiful." He murmured, more to himself than anyone else as his eyes raked up and down my naked body. His hands began running up and down the insides of my thighs, never quite reaching where I wanted them to. It was sinful how much I wanted this man in front of me.

Angelo's fingers finally met the apex of my thighs, he began toying with me. Reducing me to a quivering mess as he found my clit and began rubbing it with his thumb. Angelo's middle finger teased my entrance as his thumb began to pick up it's pace, I felt the pressure in my stomach rising as he plunged a finger into me and I did everything in my power to not climax then and there.

"Fuck, you're so tight." Angelo groweld as he began moving his finger in and out of me, never taking his thumb off my sweet spot. "Are you ready?" he murmured as he sucked the arousal off one of his fingers, I couldn't help but blush at the intimate act i'd never seen anyone do something like that before. I nodded, meeting his gaze head on. Angelo shifted slightly and started rumaging through his bedside draw, pulling out a silver packet he returned to his original position on the bed.

"I'm on the pill." I whispered, Angelo paused for a moment, my revilation clearly shocked him somewhat. "I've been taking it for a while now so if you didn't want to use anything?" I don't know how I was being so confident when I was still so inexperianced but now seemed to be a good a time as any.

"You're full of surprises." Angelo smiled "if this hurts tell me and i'll stop, okay?" I nodded my head and took a deep breath. I felt his tip line up with my entrance and I squeezed my eyes shut. It was a strange sensation, feeling something entering my body I willed myself to relax and to not clamp down as Angelo whispered soothing words into my ear. I allowed myself to open my eyes as the pain ebbed away and turned to a more plesurable throb.

We were finally one, Angelo and I no longer two seperate entities we were one and the same. I let out a long moan as Angelo began to move, slow at first as my body adjusted to the new sensation but as I got more comfortable his thrusts became harder and faster. I knew people spoke about sex as if it was one of the seven wonders of the world but this was something else, my whole body was on fire and I couldnt get enough.

My arms wound their way around Angelo's kneck as his thrusts became deeper, I felt my legs begin to shake and that dull ache in my stomach had turned into sheer pleasure and I didn't know how much longer I was going to be able to hold on before I was tipped over the edge. "Cum for me princess." Angelo groweld, and that was all I needed to find my release. My entire body spazmed as my climax rocked through my entire body, moan after moan spilling from my lips as I dug my nails into Angelo's skin, calling out a jumbled version of his name. Moments later Angelo found his release, spilling himself inside me as he sucked and nipped at the sensitive skin on my kneck.

After what couldve been hours, but what was only probably a few moments Angelo gently eased himself out of me. I winced at the sensation but it was quickly replaced with a feeling of emptiness and longing.

We both led there in silence , not wanting to ruin the moment between us. I snuggled into Angelo and placed a small kiss on his collar bone. "I love you, Angelo." I sighed
"I love you too." He replied, just as the exhaustion dragged me into a deep sleep.
