MARIA

The moment we entered his house and he closed the door, I found my front pressed against the door, my palms resting on the door on either side of body.

He swept my hair to one side and his lips latched onto my neck, pressing gentle kisses. "You are mine, Maria." He murmured possessively and bit down on my neck making me gasp and licked it with his tongue, soothing it.

I breathed heavily as his hand slipped inside my t shirt, fingers running over my stomach brushing under my breasts.

"Lucian." I moaned softly and he turned me around and crashed his lips on mine, holding my chin in between his fingers.

I ran my palm down his chest, feeling his muscles to his abs.

"What are you doing to me, Maria?" He kissed me desperately. "I just can't get enough of you, you are all I think about. You have pocessed me, love."

His words overwhelmed me so much that I just wanted to tell him how much I loved him instead I sucked his lower lip and and fumbled with the buttons on his jeans.

But he bent down and picked me up in his arms, wrapping my legs around his waist and carried me up the stairs to his bedroom all the while feasting on my neck.

He placed me in the middle of the room and stepped back, panting. The predatory look on his face sent a shiver down my spine.

He ran his fingers through my hair gently before he gripped my hair at the base of my skull firmly. "Get on your knees, love." The gentleness in his tone was a stark contrast with how he gripped my hair and titled my head back.

I might have had sex once but I never did this but God, I wanted to taste him. I wanted him whole.

Without any protest, I sinked down to my knees and with trembling fingers undid the buttons on his jeans and pulled down the zipper.

I glanced up at him and the admiration in his eyes made me feel confident and without hesitating, I pulled down his boxers along with his jeans just enough to free it and gulped on seeing him so hard and long.

Swallowing my anxiousness, I touched him, unsure what to do exactly and just ran my fingers down his length and his grip around my hair tightened and he slowly guided my mouth to it.

Staring up at him, I slowly opened my mouth and he slid inside, groaning immediately as I wrapped my lips around him and he threw back his head.

"Your mouth is like heaven, love." He moaned softly as he slowly fucked my mouth. He really meant what he said earlier.

It continued for another minute as he kept pulling it out for a few seconds to let me breathe before starting again.

Tears ran down my eyes and drool down my chin and he pulled out completely and helped me up on my feet and pulled up his jeans and boxers.

He smirked as he wiped away my tears. "I don't mind making you cry for this reason."

Jesus. More moisture flooded in between my legs and he kissed me softly.

I started to unbotton his shirt but his body went rigid all of a sudden and he stopped kissing me.

"What's wrong?" I whispered against his lips.

He dropped his forehead on mine with a defeated sigh. "I...I don't get naked while having sex."

That sent a sharp pain to my heart when I realised that it must be because of his scars that he once mentioned.

I cupped his face and still asked, "Why?"

"You know exactly why."

"If you think your scars are going to disgust me then you are extremely wrong, Lucian. I don't care about them, and you don't need to be ashamed of them. They are a proof of all the battles you fought and won. Please...Luci..." I pressed the gentlest of kiss on his mouth.

We stayed like that for a moment before he pulled me closer and kissed me hard, stealing away my breath. "Only you are capable of silencing my demons, Maria."

This time when I unbottoned his shirt, he didn't stop me and when all the buttons were opened, I slid the shirt off his body.

I broke the kiss and took my time in drinking in his broad shoulders, well defined abs, he was so beautiful. Unlike other famous people, he never once posted his shirtless picture on social media and I guess I was one of the lucky ones to see him like this.

There were several vertical scars along his shoulder and leaning I brushed my lips over them and he shuddered.

His chest heaved and grabbing his arm, I made him sit on the edge of the bed before I climbed on it and kneeled behind him and I had to bit back a gasp when I saw his back littered with even more scars and I felt unadulterated anger for the person who did this to him.

I didn't ponder on that and started to place kisses over his every scar, letting my lips linger on them. "You are beautiful, Lucian. You take my breath away."

He placed his palms over mine which were around his neck and he squeezed my hand as I continued kissing his scars.

When I reached up to his neck, I started to suck and bite on it, giving him a hickey just like he gave me.

When I was done he turned around and pushed me back on the bed and climbed over me, attaching his mouth to mine again.

This time he let me explore his mouth as he fondled with my breasts.

"Lucian." I gasped in his mouth when he pinched my nipples and he removed his lips and pulled my t shirt over my head and threw it on the floor and proceeded to unclasp my bra and his eyes zeroed on my breasts, desire etched all over his face.

He leaned down and sucked on my nipples while pulling down my shorts at the same time.

"Oh God." I gripped his hair, my toes curling with pleasure. "Lucian, please." I begged.

His lips trailed down to my stomach and down to my belly making my emotions go wild with the way he was worshipping my body.

"Lucian..." I was feeling like I was on cloud nine and before I could stop myself, I confessed, "I love you."

I sucked in a sharp breath when I realised my mistake and Lucian paused, slowly lifting his head, his eyes wildly searching mine as he came up to me.

It was too late to take back my words and he whispered, frowning hard as if he couldn't believe what he heard. "What did you say?"

"I love you." I repeated in a whisper.

He exhaled shakily, his eyes welling up with tears. "Maria, I come with a lot of baggage...you can't love me."

"I love you, Lucian." I cupped his cheek, caressing it with my thumb. "I love all of you. All your fears and scars, I love every part of you."

"Maria..." A tear fell down his eyes. "I...how can you..." He shut his eyes firmly.

My heart slowly cracked, all the gaps he had left in my heart all those years back and filled it were now renewing.

I slowly pushed him, I wanted some space. I wanted to drown in self pity, at how much of an idiot I was to tell my feelings to him.

"You are not going anywhere." He growled, opening his eyes. "I made a mistake all those years back, I won't repeat it. You love me..." He trailed off.

"I do. I love you, Lucian. I really do." I confirmed it.

"I am all yours, Maria. I am all yours. I'll forever be yours." And he kissed me firmly, sealing his words.

Our tongues clashed and intertwined together eliciting a moan from me and I felt him grow hard again in between my legs.

I was so lost in that kiss that I didn't notice his hand slipping in between my legs and parting my folds as he slipped a finger inside me.

"Fuck." He broke the kiss. "Are you a virgin, Maria?"

"Um...I..." It was difficult to think when his finger was buried inside me. "I had sex once...in college..."

"How long has it been?"

"A...year I guess?"

He brushed his finger against my clit and started to move his finger and my mouth fell open, my eyes rolling back.

Soon another finger joined and I moaned loudly on being deliciously stretched. "God...Lucian..." I panted.

He nibbled on my neck. "Do you remember that fucker's name to whom you lost your virginity?"

"W-what for?"

"Just for research purposes."

"Research?"

"I want to pay him a vist for touching what's mine."

I gasped at his words and then chuckled. "Lucian, you had already rejected me then, I wasn't yours--" My words ended in a half moan and half scream as he thrusted his fingers this time a little harshly hiting a delicious spot inside me.

"You were always mine." He growled slamming his lips on mine. "You were mine from the moment you confessed having feelings for me. And you will remain mine."

I kissed him desperately and hungrily and soon his fingers were replaced by his hard length as it poked my entrance and he stared into my eyes. "You sure, love?"

I nodded, licking my lips. "Yes, please."

He slowly entered me, my nails digging in his back and I closed my eyes until he continued thrusting inside me.

Once he was buried deep inside me, he paused and gave me some time to adjust while he kissed me and whispered soothing words into my ears. "You can take it, love. You are doing so well."

When I adjusted to the feeling of him inside me and a blissful state took over me, I lifted my hips silently telling him it was okay.

It was more than okay and when he started to move with a grunt, the pleasure was intense.

"Maria." He moaned, his thrusts picking up a pace as he gathered me in his arms, burying his face in my neck. "Fuck. You were made for me, love."

"Let another man touch you and this time the murder won't be an accident." To prove his words, he thrusted into me the hardest and I cried out.

"Mine." He thrusted again. "Only mine." Another thrust. "You are fucking beautiful, inside and out." Another thrust. "You are my angel."

By that time, I was almost on the verge of tears with the way he was fucking me slowly but with hard thrusts and his words heightening my pleasure.

Then he grabbed my legs and threw them over his shoulder and his thrusts became fast and frantic as I screamed his name, the angle allowing him to go deeper.

A minute later, his movements turned sloppy, a drop of sweat forming on his forehead, brows pinched in concentration. "Come for me, love."

His words along with the way he gently pinched my clit was all it took for me to scream his name as I came hard, tears pricking at the back of my eyes due to its intensity.

And with another thrust, he came inside me, warmth filling me and it gave me another mini orgasm.

Panting, he slumped down on me, burying his face in my neck. I ran my hands all over his back savoring the feeling.

A moment later, he pushed himself off me, supporting his body with his palms and he kissed my forehead lingeringly.

I couldn't help but whisper, "I love you."

This time he didn't tense, he just kissed my forehead again. "Say that again."

"I love you, Lucian. I love you so much."

He pressed his lips to my eyes. "Again."

"I love you."

His lips pressed to my cheeks. "Again."

"I love you more than anything else. I have always loved you."

And he finally kissed me properly.
