I was shocked. Wasn’t this a crucial matter?!
Enzo suddenly smiled. “My bad. I didn’t answer it properly.” He cleared his throat and continued, “I
admit it. That when I first approached, it was because of the mate bond. Your scent can easily soothe
me. But…
“That was simply the reason we met. The fate.”
Enzo stepped forward, reaching up to cup my cheeks with his big hands.
“We’ve been through so much together, and each time, it gave me a chance to know you better. I got to
know your bravery, your stubbornness, your kindness… All of these have made me fall deep for you,
Andrea. I can tell you now, with all my heart…
“That I love you because you’re you.”
This was hardly a good place to make such a statement.
The lighting in the corridor was dim, and because it was connected to the dungeon, the smell of wet
cement filled the air.
But when Enzo took my face in his hands and confessed his feelings, all this unpleasantness suddenly
vanished. Everything was perfect. The dim lights made his brows and eyes look softer. He stood in the
corridor and cast a long shadow on the wall. The mellow aroma of cold wind drifted into my nose,
chasing away the wet smell of cement…
I looked up at him, my vision blurry from the tears in my eyes, and I couldn’t see his face clearly. Enzo
took my hand and placed it on his chest, then lowered his eyes and said, “Are you willing to believe that
my heart is beating wildly just for you now?”
I could feel the heat of his body, as well as the steady, hard beat of his heart thumping against my
palm.
My eyes were still damp, and I nodded silently. “I believe you.”
My feelings were finally fulfilled at this moment. All the grudges I held against Enzo vanished at his
confession, and only the joy of being with him forever remained. The mate bond was no longer a
burden to my heart, instead it now severed as a certification of our genuine love. “So…” Enzo suddenly
lowered his head again, the tip of his nose coming closer to mine. Just as I closed my eyes and waited
for him to kiss me, he suddenly chuckled. “Why’re you in such a hurry?” I felt my face burn up instantly
as I snapped my eyes open, clearly at a loss. Enzo’s eyes sparkled mischievously, but he turned
serious in the next second. “What I meant was… So do you also love me as I love you? Do you love
me for me?”
My heart was beating crazy against my chest. It was as though it was trying to break free from the
shackles of flesh and blood to jump out of my body and crash into Enzo’s arms. I raised my head and
could feel the tremble in my throat. However, I knew that I needed to be firm in expressing my
thoughts.
“I love you, Enzo. From the moment you first stretched out your hand to me and pulled me up from the
floor, I had fallen for you. I love you.”
I followed his lead and solemnly said, word by word, “I love you because you’re you.”
In the blink of an eye, my feet were off the ground as Enzo lifted me into his arms. I let out a startled cry
and wrapped my legs around his sturdy waist.
“Now…” “Enzo’s breath was quick. “I need you to fulfill your responsibilities as my Luna.”
Enzo’s face was suddenly in front of me, his lips pressing onto mine in a hard kiss. He nibbled my lips,
sending a tingling feeling all over me before plunging his fiery tongue into my mouth, filling it with the
strong scent of wine.
The soft tip of his tongue slid boldly across the roof of my mouth, and wet, watery sounds filled the air.
Before I was ultimately out of breath, Enzo pulled back a little.
His hooded gaze swept across my face, landing on my swollen lips before trailing further downwards.
“I want you now.” His breathing was rough, and the hot breath felt like a blazing fire when it hit my skin
His scent was so intoxicating that I nearly forgot where I was.
I hooked my arm around his neck, leaned up to kiss his stubbled jaw, and gasped, “Yes…”
I trailed my lips down his chin, nipping his Adam’s apple before swirling my tongue around it.
Enzo’s raspy grunts rumbled above me. His throat would twitch each time he let out a moan. and I
would feel it quivering from my tongue on his neck.
“A-Andrea… Are you trying to kill me?” He groaned as he tilted his neck up.
I raised my head, blinked, and said honestly, “I can’t do that.” Enzo gulped, then chuckled and kissed
my lips once more. “You really underestimate yourself,” he said.
When he pulled back, there was a string of silver between us, and he pressed on my lower lip with his
thumb.
“Could you use your mouth to help me?” he asked, a deep, burning desire in his eyes. I froze, feeling
the blood rush to my head and the tip of my ears. After a moment, I stuttered,” I- I don’t know how.”
“That’s fine…”
Enzo pushed his fingers into my mouth, using his index and middle finger to play with my tongue as he
continued in a low, husky voice, “Let me teach you how to do it, my sweety.”
