The next morning, Hera woke up feeling warm and cozy. She snuggled into the comfort of the warmth. Her palm moved up and down, absently caressing the hard ridges and grooves called his ab muscles. He is so hard that there is not a single part of his body that has fat. When he suddenly caught her palm, her eyes flew open, and she realized what she is doing. Her face became hot with embarrassment. She remembered the kiss from last night, and that made her feel shy to face him. Matteo always wakes up before Hera. But he is simply lying down for Hera. It's been only a few days since she started sleeping in his room, and he can say that they are the best nights of his life. Holding her close every night is reminding him why he was given another chance at life. He wanted to cherish this precious woman for as long as he lives. When she began to softly caress his body, he became hard. So he caught her wandering palm because if she keeps doing this, he might take her then and there. He knows

It took them five hours, to unbox everything and arrange Olivia's stuff neatly in her dorm room. Now it's seven o clock in the evening, and she is hungry. "There, now it looks neat. You are ready to start a new life from the day after tomorrow" Hera said while taking a casual sweep across the room with her eyes. Olivia is tiredly sitting on her bed and grinned at Hera happily. For now, no one came to share her dorm room and she has the whole room to herself. "Ya, i need to call dad and tell him that i am settled here," she said while scrolling through her phone to call her father. Hera looked walked towards the window and looked down at the campus which is abuzz with the freshman. 'Dad, i am fine...' she vaguely heard Olivia speaking on the phone. She noticed the football players who are coming back from their practice. Their hair is wet and they are laughing and joking among themselves. Hera watched the quarterback Olivia was talking about. He looks like a typical jock with

"Hera, wake up. You will be late for school. Wake up" he shook her gently. "Hmm..." she mumbled sleepily and snuggled deeper into the blankets. He sighed at her antiques. It's already seven in the morning and she is supposed to go in another half an hour. It will take her twenty minutes to reach school without traffic. "Baby girl, come on" he urged her. But when she didn't show any signs of waking up, he smirked as an idea clicked in his mind. He pulled the blankets off of her and lifted her up in his arms, bridal style. She sighed softly and wrapped her arms around his neck. He carried her inside the bathroom, and all the while a mischievous smile is playing on his lips. He stood under the shower and turned it the cold water on."Ahh..."As the cold water hit her body, she shrieked with shock and tried to get out of the way of the cold spray. But he blocked her way, all the while laughing at her expense. "Matt" she opened her eyes and complained with a pout. He chuckled at he

"Liar" he pointed it out that she is lying. Hera is on the verge of crying now. She decided to blackmail him to escape from his inquiry until she is composed."You can think whatever you want. I want to change. If you don't move out of my way, then I will get undressed here" she threatened. She thought that he would be scared like when she blackmailed him to kiss for the first time. But she didn't realize that things changed from then to now, at least for him.He raised an eyebrow, challenging her."Then go on. Get undressed. Do whatever you want. But I am not allowing you to move from here until you tell me what is wrong with you" he is adamant.Hera is shocked. But she is desperate to escape."Fine, get ready to see me naked" she muttered with anger and desperation.He simply shrugged his shoulders carelessly and watched her. First, she slowly worked on her jeans, intentionally delaying them. But he is not showing any signs of moving even after she slipped the jeans off her legs. N

Hera and Matteo walked inside the restaurant where Lizzy and Emma are waiting for them. A hostess escorted them to their designated table. They booked a private cabin. Matteo is holding Hera's hand, while she is talking in her surroundings. The restaurant has expensive decor and everyone sitting inside the restaurant looks rich with their branded clothes and impeccable table manners. Women are openly eying Matt, which is making her feel jealous.Hera became nervous and self-cautious. She never ventured inside a place like this, as her mother couldn't afford it. So now she is feeling out of place. Despite her expensive clothes, she knows that she doesn't belong among these rich people.When Matteo noticed how stiff she is and her palms are sweating with nervousness, he squeezed her palm reassuringly."Relax baby girl" he whispered softly.She turned to look at him with insecurity. She is wondering what he must have thought about her house when he came to stay with her in the beginning.
