Chapter 37

Gio Bianchi

I drive like a bat out of hell once we’re out of downtown. I can’t wait to finally bury myself inside Ruin. I can feel the electricity bursting out of our bodies. It’s sizzling.

“I can’t believe I forgot about you,” Ruin says, her voice wobbly.

“Sweetheart, you suffered a major accident. It’s only understandable that your brain wanted to shield you from all the pain.” I grab her hand and bring it to my lips, where I place kisses all over it. The kisses are making me hard, and I don’t want Ruin to think I don’t want to hear everything she has to say, so I slowly place her hand back on her lap. But my girl has something other than talking in mind, and instead of letting my hand go, she places it over her core. I give her a side glance, and she has a mischievous smirk on her beautiful face.

“How wet will I find you if I put my hand under your dress, baby girl?” Ruin squirms in her seat, and my dick jerks, trying to free itself from my pants.

“I think you’ll have to find out for yourself,” she teases, lifting her dress. I turn into my driveway, and once I park, I get out of the car and sprint to her door. As I help her out, she jumps into my arms, locking her legs around my waist. We’re like two wild animals in heat. I start undoing the zipper of her dress as I climb the stairs to my door. I manage to unlock the door with one hand, and once we’re inside, I place her gently on the floor.

“You remembered me,” I say against her lips.

“You came to me,” she says as she starts unbuttoning my shirt, and my heart feels like it's about to burst out of my chest. I can’t believe I have the love of my life in front of me, fully aware of who I am.

“I was ready to quit life, Ruin. It is not worth living without you.” Something inside me snaps as I conjure those words. The thought of losing her is too much to bear, and I need to bury it immediately. We’re past that. We’re here now. Together.

I finish undoing the zipper and help her out of the dress. Ruin is a vision in a scarlet red lace bra and matching panties.

“You look delectable, baby girl,” I say as I feel my mouth watering at the sight—her perky tits, her nipples hard as pebbles, peaking through the lacy bra. I remove my shirt and make quick work of my pants and shoes, socks flying off, too. We kiss each other with hunger and need. I don’t think we can make it to my bedroom on the second floor, so I walk us to the living room, where a large rug sits in front of the fireplace. I help Ruin lie down on the rug and look for the remote to turn on the fireplace.

“This is so romantic, Gio,” Ruin says as she opens her legs for me. I crawl to her, enjoying the way she’s looking at me. There is no doubt in my mind—we are soulmates, in this life and all the rest.

I place myself on top of her and search her eyes.

“Yes, Gio. I’m ready. I want you.” I release a breath, knowing I have her consent, and nibble at her lower lip. She moans as her hands go to my ass. I create a trail of kisses from her lips and neck to her collarbone, where there’s a huge scar—a reminder of what she went through. I kiss the scar, making peace with the fact that the accident not only broke her but also me.

I continue my exploration of Ruin’s body, and when I reach her breasts, I rip her bra off. My dick grows harder at the sight of her rosy nipples—hard and ready to be sucked. I get to work, and the more I suck and nibble, the louder Ruin gets. If only she knew what her little sexy noises do to me. I pay the same attention to her other nipple, and she starts to move her hips, trying to find release. I get the memo and make my way from her chest to her core. Ruin moans in appreciation, and I remove her panties with my teeth.

“Blue, you’re so damn sexy when you get all feral.” She purrs, and I wink at her. Then I open her folds with my hands as I start playing with her clit. Her hips buck, and I enter her with a finger, then two. I lap and suck her clit as my fingers pump in and out of her pussy, her sweet juices covering my fingers.

“Gio, I’m so close,” she pants, and I pick up speed. As soon as I nibble at her clit, she comes undone for me. Seeing Ruin climax is the most amazing thing I’ve ever witnessed; her face glows, and her smile is wide. She’s the perfect picture of bliss.

Once she has come down from the high, I lie down next to her. “Are you ready for more?” I ask with a smile.

“Yes, please.” She grabs my cock, and I climb on top of her.

“Should I get a condom?” I ask, and she frowns. “I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable,” I tell her honestly.

“I haven’t been with anyone since you,” she says, hurt in her eyes.

“Me either. I just wanted to be sure you knew you had options. I can go get a condom, no problem, or we can go bare.”

She releases a breath as she kisses me. “I don’t want anything between us, Blue.”

I smile into our kiss as I feel her guiding me inside her heat. The moment I’m inside her, we moan in unison—I feel my soul being put back together, and I’m sure she feels the same way. I start moving slowly, enjoying the way we’re connected. I kiss her gently and unhurriedly; I want to take my time, enjoying this moment—a moment I thought I would never have again.

Ruin presses her nails into my ass, and I pick up the pace. I don’t want this to be over just yet; it feels too good to be inside her. When her walls start to clench, I move us around, putting Ruin on top. She rides me like she was born to do this. Her hair is a wild mess, cascading down her shoulders, giving me a peek of her tits. I rise and grab a nipple with my lips as Ruin rides me faster—she’s panting and moaning, and I can’t hold on much longer. I’m about to explode. My thumb finds her clit, and I start making circles. I know the moment she comes because my cock is squeezed by her walls, and I jump off the proverbial cliff with her. She lies down on top of me, and by the fire, we let our souls find their way to each other.

“Thank you,” Ruin says as she traces circles with her finger on my chest. We’re lying by the fire after making love and enjoying the quietness of the house.

“What for?” I ask, placing a kiss on the top of her head.

“For everything. Ever since I met you, you have made it your mission to take care of me, to make me your priority. Thank you.”

“Thank you for choosing me, twice.” She giggles, and I hug her closer to me.

“I know we can laugh now, but when you were hurt in the hospital, I was back in Raleigh with my heart broken and no way of knowing if you were going to be okay.” I close my eyes and remember those days full of anguish and desperation.

“And you came to Azalea Creek?”

“I did,” I tell her as the memories of that day play in my head. “I went into Rosebay Apothecary, and Miss Dorothy, who I didn’t know at the time, told me she didn’t know you. But then she called River, and he told me about the accident and asked me to stay away.”

“Oh, so that’s why she wanted to apologize earlier at the festival?” Ruin asks, and I nod. “Huh, I wonder why she didn’t tell you,” she continues as she drapes her leg across mine. Her knee lands on top of my dick, which immediately perks up.

“I think everyone was trying to protect you. Plus, she didn’t know who I was to you. I didn’t say I was your boyfriend. I just said I was looking for you.” Ruin nods as if it makes sense.

“Then, after talking to River and Rain, they agreed to let me see you in the hospital. You were in a coma, and it broke my heart to see you enduring so much pain. But when I touched your hand, you woke up and freaked out at the mere sight of me. The doctors had to come in and sedate you again, and pretty much warned me to not come back and disturb you.” I retell the story of one of the hardest days of my life.

“Oh, Gio. I’m so sorry. I don’t remember that, at all! I wish it would have been different. You know how much I love you, and I’m sorry for having caused you all that pain,” Ruin says, her hand covering my cheek.

“You don’t need to apologize, sweetheart. Your brain was in protective mode, trying to give your body time to heal.” I turn my face and place a kiss on her palm.

“Anyway, I’m glad we were able to find each other. There were many sleepless nights when I wondered if I had left someone in Raleigh, and if I did, why hadn’t he come to see me. My brain was a mess, and I thought my life was over. As much as I love spending time with my family and living near them, I don’t want to be a waiter for the rest of my life, you know?” She sighs, and I start playing with her hair, running my fingers through it.

“I know, sweetheart. It was a dark time for all of us, but as you said, we’re past it. And it goes without saying, you have my full support for whatever you want to do next. If it’s going back to school in Raleigh, we’ll make it happen. If you want to stay here and find something else that gives you joy, we’ll make it happen. Whatever it is you want to do next, we’ll make it happen. Together.” She lifts her head, and when I look at her eyes, I see they’re misting over.

“No more tears, unless they are happy tears, baby girl.” She chuckles, and I turn us over, getting on top of her and burying myself inside my favorite place. All night long.
