Matteo sat in the living area, sprawling over the couch for a little shut eye since he wasn't able to get any the previous night. Every moment with Stella was just filled with triggers from all parts of him. Somehow, it made him feel more alive. But other times, it stressed him the hell out.
It was almost hard to go a day without thinking about how much better life would be if he could just give in to the idea of making her his own. But there is no way to make that happen, as the fear of his past would just make him too overbearing.
But what harm was there in simply giving into one's pleasures?
Stella, on the other hand, made her way toward the bedroom, completely shunning of the fact that there was something she could do to make all of this discomfort go away. He clearly did not want anything to do with her except work and sex. If she could just shut out her feelings, she would definitely be able to go on with a smooth life with him.
