Chapter 42

“Are you awake?” Enzo asked as he walked out of the bathroom. He had a towel wrapped around his waist, water dripping from his naked body. 

I squinted and opened my mouth to speak, finding that my voice rough and hoarse, “How long has it been?” 

Enzo walked over to the bed and leaned down, placing his arms at my side. He planted soft kisses on my forehead. “It’s been three days, babe.” 

I lowered my eyes thoughtfully. So the only thing I did for the past three days was to mess around on the bed with Enzo in this room? 

The rational came back to my desire-clouded brain, and I couldn’t help but sigh. 

My sigh was cut off abruptly by Enzo’s sudden kiss. He licked my lips, fingers coming up to stroke the hair on my temples. He huffed after the kiss. “I know what you’re overthinking this, but don’t be. You were meant to be mine. It was just a matter of time.” 

I stared into his eyes, and he touched my lips again as though he was addicted. “Come on. It’s time to get up.” 

So he said, but he remained on top of me, and I couldn’t move. I tried to push him, but he simply chuckled. “Didn’t you ask me to get up?” I asked. 

He gazed at me for the longest time before suddenly grabbing my wrist. “I changed my mind.” 

“Wha-”
