"Ayla, be careful. You're going to fall on those rocks," Alessio called out from behind me.

I laughed freely, jumping from one rock to the other before landing in the cold stream. The cold water rushed across my bare feet and came up a little bit
above my ankle. "So cold," I called out.

"Yet you still insist on getting your feet wet," he mumbled, coming closer.

It feels good. You should try it too, I Suggested, turning toward him with a
smile.

"No, I'm good," Alessio said, stopping at the stream's edge, his hands buried in the pockets of his black slacks.

It had been a week since my conversation with Maddie. Every day, I was tempted to tell Alessio the truth, but my fear for his reaction stopped me every single time. I didn't want to see the hate or disgust in his eyes.

I wanted him to keep looking at me with the same loving, gentle, soft eyes. I wanted his smiles. His soft kisses and gentle caresses. I wanted them forever.

Every day win Alessio felt like heaven. it was a breath or fresh air. A Blow or
happiness. He was my happiness. And I had come to the point where I craved his
attention.

He was like a drug, my addiction. You don't want to get into the water?" I asked with a pout. Alessio shook his head mutely. The little grey speckles in his blue eyes were twinkling brightly in the sunlight

Sending him a smile, I bent dow and scooped some water in my palms. My
steps were slow as I walked toward him, shoving my hands into this face.

"Here." I giggled.

Before he could do anything, I threw the cold water in his face. Alessio flinched and reared back in surprise. "What the Alessio growled, swiping his hands over nis wet tdce

Hiding a laugh behind my hands, I took a few cautious steps back. "Oops." I stuck my tongue out at him.

Alessio raised a questioning eyebrow, a smirk on his face. His eyes twinkled
mischievously as he cocked his head to the side. Without saying anything, he
removed his suit jacket and threw it on the grass. As he rolled the sleeves of his
white shirt up, he shook his head.

I'm giving you a head start, kitten," he said, his voice deep and playful.
My eyes widened, and I let out a small laugh. "You won't be able to catch
me, "I teased before jumping out of the water and running past him.

"Let's see about that," he yelled. Looking behind my back, I saw him coming at me in full force.

Letting out a yelp, I ran faster, turning in circles and running toward the stream again. I felt him coming closer, and as soon as I was on the edge of creek,
his arm lashed out and wrapped around my waist, pulling me back.

Alessio picked me up and spun me around in circles, my laughter echoing
around the creek.

Got you, Alessio whispered in my ears. He placed a kiss on the back of my
neck. "I always catch you, kitten." I melted in his arms, pressing my back
against his front. "You' ve been very bad. Such a little minx."

Alessio,I breathed as he placed a kiss behind my ear. I was about to turn around in his embrace, but my feet slipped on the wet grass. My eyes went wide as I let out a yelp, my hands going to Alessio's collar to hold on

"Fuck," he swore.

Everything happened so fast. First, I was talling, and then I wasn't. But as soon as I had straightened myself, I heard a splash of water and a spring of curses coming from Alessio. Quickly swiveling around, I faced the stream. only to let out a booming laugn when I saw him.
