"You look... very handsome." I murmured.

"Don't be so surprised." Nico laughed.

"I'm sorry, you're always so casual." He looked polished. He was wearing a grey suit combined with a white dress shirt. He never wore anything remotely smart, so yeah, I was surprised. A few of the buttons were undone, giving him that playful look he always had. His hair was styled and I had to say that was the weirdest thing of it all. "I mean... you always look good but now you... you look amazing."

"Thanks." He shrugged, hiding his bottom lip inside his mouth as he approached me. "You look very pretty, too." He kissed my lips softly. I wanted nothing more than to wrap my arms around him and let him undress me, let him kiss me all over my body. But he pulled away, I knew he had other plans.

"I'm worried about these heels." I chuckled, looking down.

"The walk isn't long." He whispered against my lips, placing a light kiss on them once again.

The elevator took us to the 43rd floor. There was this modern restaurant and bar that opened up to a huge terrace where tables were scattered. I stayed silent throughout the moment, Nico's hand in the lower of my back guiding me towards our table. It was near the balcony that separated us from the city. Everything was lit up with candles and dim lighting, plants all over the place making me feel as if I was in the highest tree of an exotic jungle.

My hands trembled a little as I sat, Nico watching every movement that I made as he did so in front of me. "What do you think?" He asked, a little unsure.

I swallowed, my heart beating fast as I turned to look at the view, the sun in the horizon behind the buildings. "Nico, I- I don't even know what to say."

He bit his lips nervously. "You like it?"

"Yeah." I whispered, my eyes not leaving the sky, a light breeze brushing my hair. "I'm just..."

"I knew you'd get overwhelmed." Nico sighed. "This is too much. I shouldn't have brought you here. You don't like it, you don't even like shopping. I don't know what I was thinking-"

"Hey." I grabbed his hand so he would stop spiraling. "It's perfect. I'm just... in shock. I wasn't expecting this today, I was... so stressed and frustrated this morning and suddenly I'm here." I shook my head, my lips a little open, trying to find the words. "Even if this is not... what I'm used to... I love it. I love that you took the time to do all this. I love it 'cause I'm with you."

"I wanted to do something special. I want you to remember this day." He let out a little breath. "I mean it when I say it, you're... you're the most important thing I have in my life. You changed it, you changed me... for the better, you know?"

I started breathing hard when Nico grabbed the seat of his chair and approached it so he was beside me on the table. "I was really lost before I met you, Cara. I thought that I was going to be forever... sad," he swallowed hard, grabbing my hand, "because I had it all and I was miserable. But then I met you and you made me so happy, and I lost so many things, and I went through so many shit, but still... I'm the happiest I've ever been." He bit his lips, suddenly amused. He examined my face, I was silently staring at him. "I'm- I'm not trying to scare you."

I shook my head. "I'm not scared."

"Good." He gave me a little smile. "I just wanted you to know how much you mean to me."

"Can I kiss you in here?" I whispered, looking around cautiously.

Nico let out a small laugh, making me warm inside. "Of course."

And I did. I cupped his cheeks and pressed my lips against his, feeling them soft and firm, making the butterflies in my stomach flutter. I pulled away, breathing hard. "I love you."

"I love you more."

I frowned. "I don't like your new way of saying it."

"Why?" He asked.

"Because that's not true."

Nico broke out laughing. "Well, get used to it."

"Excuse me, sir." A waiter had arrived to our table and we both looked up at him. "Are you moving your chair there?"

"Yes." He said quickly.

"Then allow me to rearrange this."

We ordered our food, everything was delicious, I couldn't even imagine how much all of this cost. Nico was watching me amused as I drank some water. The waiter a little surprised that we didn't order any alcoholic beverages.

"What?" I chuckled just to become serious all of a sudden. "I have something in my face."

Nico shook his head. "I was just thinking..." he cocked his head. "Are you wearing it?"

"What?" He smirked and I understood. "Oh." I looked down. "Yeah." I chuckled, embarrassed. "It was that or nothing."

"I wouldn't have minded that either." He chuckled. "From 1 to 10 how much did you hate me when you saw it?"

"8." I said. "I hated the transparencies and that hole in the back..." I covered my face. "But it could've been worse I guess..."

"Did you look at yourself in the mirror?"

"No."

Nico bit his lips and shook his head. "I bought some things for dessert, but they're in our room. So, if you're done..."

We went back to the room, my arm encircling Nico's. I wasn't very good at walking with heels and Nico laughed at me. I told him to try and skate and after a little argument, we had our deal. I'd try to teach him how to do it. When I least expected it, we were in the room again.

Nico took off his jacket as I sat down on the bed, taking off the heels, the carpet below me making my toes tingle. "The dessert is in the fridge, if you want it."

I kneeled in front of it and grabbed the paper container. Sitting back on the bed, I opened it. Nico attentively staring at me.

"Yes!" I exclaimed. "Strawberries covered in chocolate, I love them."

"There is also cream..." he said, grabbing it and sitting down again. "I thought we could... play a little."

I frowned. "Play?" Nico raised an eyebrow and I suddenly understood. "Oh."

"Come here." Nico grabbed my hand and walked towards the full length mirror, standing behind me. "I want you to see how beautiful you are."

When his fingers brushed my skin, unzipping my dress, I caught my breath. He slowly lowered down the straps, making the dress fall. I stared at my reflection, the black lingerie I was wearing letting nothing to the imagination. The transparencies showed everything.

"It's... sexy." I whispered.

Nico nodded behind me, his arms wrapping around my stomach. "It is." He licked his lips. "Listen, bébé. I didn't do any of this to pressure you... but if you were ready to do it, this would be how I would want your first time to be. If I could erase your past, I would. This is what you deserve." His hot breath against my shoulder before placing a light kiss on it, making the hairs in my body stand on end.

I turned around and glanced up at him, my hands on his chest shaking a little. "I'm nervous."

"It's just me... we know each other. If you want to stop, I'll stop."

My eyes searched his and I found the reassurance I needed. It was all perfect, he was perfect. And I couldn't imagine another person who I would want to do it with. So I stood on my tip toes, lowering his lips to meet mine, crashing them together in a hungry kiss.

Our lips didn't separate from each other as we walked towards the bed, his body on top of mine. Nico pulled away, smirking as he glanced back at the other end of the bed. "Do you want them?"

I smiled, somehow excited. "Yeah."

Nico took off his shirt and pants and then reached out and grabbed the box, placing it beside us. "Open your mouth." He ordered, grabbing one and approaching it to my lips. I did as he told me and bit the strawberry, the sweet flavor making me moan.

"Mhm."

He didn't stop staring at my lips. "Can I taste it?" He asked.

I didn't know why he had asked me until his tongue ran along my lips, licking the strawberry juice and chocolate that was left in them. He then licked his lips. "Mhm."

"Your turn." I said, grabbing another one. I brought it to his lips, and he took a big bite, his teeth brushing against the tip of my fingers. "Hey." I laughed. He fought his smile as he chew. "I want to taste it, too." I whispered, pursing my lips.

He swallowed and smirked, lowering down his face, our lips melting together.

"It tastes better from your lips." I said.

"Oh, yeah?" He kissed me again, the strawberries suddenly forgotten as he let them on the bedside table.

His lips kissed their way from my throat to my chest, his hot breath fanning against my nipples. "I'm going to try something." He smiled, taking my bra off with expertise. He reached for the whipped cream.

"What are you-" he sprayed some of it on my left nipple, the coolness of it making me shiver. "Oh, my."

Nico brought his mouth down, licking it before sucking on it, enjoying himself. He then stared at me as he licked his lips. "I think I need to have some more."

He repeated the same action on my right nipple, making me moan. I felt hot all over my body, that familiar tingling sensation down my core. When he lowered down my underwear and sprayed some of it on my mount of Venus, I swallowed hard, my legs closing against one another to find some kind of release. He licked the remains of it then lowered his tongue down and began to suck on my clit.

"Oh, Nico."

He opened my legs more with both of his hands, his tongue deepening its entrance, introducing itself in a place I wouldn't have let him before.

"F-fuck." I blurted out, out of it.

Nico pulled away for a second, glancing at me surprised. "You just turned me on even more. I had never heard you swear."

His mouth found my pussy again, the pressure increasing by the second. "I know. I- I never swear." When I least expected, he slipped one of his fingers inside of me. I think he was as surprised as me when I didn't complain. His tongue never left my clit when he introduced one again another finger, moving them back and forth, making me feel incredibly good. I felt it. That wave of pleasure that needed to explode. "Fuck, I'm gonna come."

My body shook, arching my spine as I closed my legs against Nico's head, as he licked clean my release, his fingers getting out of me, making me miss them instantly.

"Oh my god." I whispered, lying down again as I relaxed. Nico's body pressing against mine when he kissed my lips with passion, his erection rubbing against my sensitive length.

"You ready to try?" Nico asked.

"You don't want to...?" I asked, lowering my eyes.

"No. I'm fucking ready." He stared at me with intention. "Are you?"

"Yeah." I nodded quickly. I was more than ready, I needed him, I needed to feel him inside me. I wanted that connection, I wanted to feel good. With him. At last.

Nico took off his underwear, stroking himself a few times before putting on a condom. He lowered his body to mine and positioned his erection at my entrance. He rubbed it a bit before pushing it inside me slowly.

I hissed, feeling myself stretch for him. It hurt a little but it was bearable. "Are you okay?" He whispered, his eyes studying my expression.

I nodded. "Keep- keep going."

He kept on pushing slowly. It felt like ages when his hips finally touched my inner thighs. I felt full, and it hurt, but somehow it felt good, too. I wanted to feel him move.

Nico kissed the place between my eyebrows, making me relax my frown. "Does it hurt?"

"A little bit."

"I'm gonna move, okay?"

I nodded, and he separated his hips from mine slowly. He pushed again, thrusting in and out, at first slow and steady, then when I started to feel good from it, he began doing it faster.

"Putain, bébé, tu es si serrée."

I couldn't even listen, my mind was lost in his touch, in every thrust that went deep inside me. My moans louder every time he hit that spot, Nico groaning against my ear.

"Wanna change positions?"

"Mhm?" I asked, eyes closed.

"Come here." He got out of me and lied down beside me, making me feel empty and longing his touch.

I knew where he was getting at and I positioned myself on top of him, slowly lowering down on his erection. It hurt once again, the muscles inside me feeling as if they just had the biggest work out, but the brush of his body with mine also drove me crazy.

"Yes, bébé. Move like you know."

I ground my hips against his body, up and down and in circular motions, one of his hands coming to meet my butt, the other tracing the way across my stomach all down to my mount of venus. I gasped when I felt his thumb touch my clit. "I- I don't think I can do that again." I whispered.

"Let's see about that."

I rode him with energy, his hand guiding my ass so that I knew the pace he wanted. The touch of his thumb was making the pressure in my stomach grow tighter. I was feeling it and I didn't think it was possible. My hands against his chest as I moved my hips in circles, clenching my walls making Nico groan in pleasure. Although he looked like he was in pain, his brow furrowed as he bit his lips.

"Oh, god." I could feel it. My mind went somewhere else when it happened. The feeling took over me, shaking my body, my arms feeling week and failing me, making me fall on top of him. He kissed my hair, his hands on my ass raised me up a bit and his hips thrusted harder. Deeper. I was too sensitive, I was thinking I couldn't take it anymore when he came, dirty words against my ear.

We both panted, our hearts beating fast against one another. He patted my butt and I got out of him, hissing because of the pain. It had cooled down a bit and now the pleasure was gone. I lied down beside him and he went to the bathroom, taking off the condom.

He walked over the bed again and lay down beside me, wrapping his arms around me so we were facing each other.

"How are you feeling?" He asked with a little smile.

I nodded with a small smile of my own, my expression saying it all. "It hurts, but it felt good."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it." He whispered, grabbing my hand and kissing the back of it. "It's not always going to hurt. Your body will get used to it."

"Good." I smiled, closing my eyes, too tired to have them open.

"Luca had told me about how it felt doing it with someone you had feelings for, but I never imagined it being this crazy. I love you so much, Cara. It was incredible."

But I could no longer discern his words, my body and mind too high in pleasure to let the energy go elsewhere. "Mhm." Was my response.
