*Thank-you for the reviews on the last chapter. They were greatly appreciated. THank-you all so much*
"You ready?" Roman asks me as I meet him downstairs in the kitchen dressed in my favorite light yellow sundress that ties behind my neck. I braided my hair off to the side similar to the way it was done last night and I have a pair of yellow flip flops on my feet to match my outfit. I have no idea what Roman has planned for us this afternoon but I'm looking forward to having a nice date with my boyfriend. We need it after the night we had last night. Dean is off working and it is just us two alone the way I like it and wish it could always be. "You're certainly over dressed," he says with a smile on his lips.
"I'm sorry do you want me to go change?" I ask.
"No," he says wrapping his arms around my waist pulling me to him. "You look beautiful," he says as I feel his lips on the top of my head. I take in his scent. He smells amazing. He smells of Axe body spray and it pleases my senses. He's dressed in a black t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. "We're going to have a good afternoon," he says as he looks down at me and our eyes meet. "I'm going to make sure of it."
"I'm sure we will," I say with a smile before he captures my lips with his and kisses me deep. I wrap his ponytail around my fist as I kiss him back. "You look very sexy today," I say with a smile as he breaks the kiss. "I like to see you in black."
"Thanks, Baby Girl," he says with a soft smile. "So the afternoon waits," he says as he takes my hand into his and we walk out the door.
I expect us to head to the pickup truck but he leads me out to the stables where we keep the horses. I'm surprised as he walks into the stable and brings out two of the horses; one a chestnut brown and the other a white horse with black spots on it. I smile at him and say, "we're going horseback riding?"
"Yeah," he says with a smile. "Do you not want to go horseback riding?"
"Of course I do," I say with a smile. "I love horses and horseback riding," I say with a smile. "I'm impressed that you still remembered that."
"You're hard to forget. Everything about you is hard to forget," he says with a smile before he kisses my lips quickly. "This is just the beginning," he says with a soft smile.
"I can't wait," I say before he helps me to climb up onto the white horse before he climbs up onto the chestnut horse. He leads the way to our destination. We don't venture off the farm because we don't want people to see us out together because I'm sure in a small town people talk so I am okay with just spending some time on our property enjoying the beautiful summer weather even with the smell of a rainstorm on the horizon. The sky is a beautiful blue and the sun is shining but the air smells of rain. It won't be long before the hot Texas weather is cooled down by a much needed rainstorm.
"We're here," he says as we stop our horses in front of a blanket sitting beside the pond with a picnic basket sitting on it and a bottle of wine for us to share. I smile at his hard work as I move off my horse. We walk our horses over and tie them to the tree before we take a seat on the blanket.
"I love it," I say with a smile.
"I was hoping you would," he says with a smile of his own. "I packed us a lunch. I packed us each a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, carrots, apple slices and of course a bottle of wine," he says with a heart melting smile.
"Sounds good to me," I say with a smile as he hands me my food before he pours me a glass of red wine. "Thank-you," I say as he hands it to me. "You know you're never too old for a PB and J sandwich," I say with smile as I hold up my sandwich.
"Never," he says with a smile before he takes a bite of his sandwich. He is the most beautiful man that I have ever seen in my life. Looking at him just takes my breath away and I find myself smiling constantly because he's mine. I wish I could shout it from the rooftops but until we're done with this whole witness protection thing we have to keep it on the down low.
We sit and eat our lunch together as the sun beams down on us, joking with one another and laughing. It is everything I could have asked for when it comes to a date. I don't think I have ever had this much fun on a date as I have had with Roman. "So tell me," I say as we're lying on the blanket together just drinking the red wine. "What made you become an agent? What made you want to be in the FBI?"
"I thought about being a police officer at first but I used to love watching those criminal shows and I was hooked on them. I watched a lot of movies involving the FBI and a lot of shows involving the FBI. I thought the work looked interesting. I wanted to be an agent since I was 13 years old. People thought I was crazy but it is something that I wanted to do so badly. I had dreams of working out in the field and working on different cases. I started off in this agency by trying to catch the bad guy and doing analysis work but things got complicated and they put me in Witness protection to protect people that were in harm's way. I have to say I like this a lot better."
"You like protecting me," I say with a smile.
"Well, yeah that has its perks," he says with a smile, "so what did you go to school for?"
"Business," I say, "I want to own my own business someday. I want to be a CEO. I hope to live out that dream someday but I don't know if I ever will."
"I'm sure you will someday," he says with a reassuring smile. "Was it your papa that got you into business?"
"Despite my papa's business ventures that he engaged in he was a really good business man. He had his own company and I idolized that. He came to America for opportunity and he found it. He was an amazing business man and I wanted to be like that. I wanted his success. I wanted to be just like him but of course doing everything legally but I decided I wanted to get into business when I was about 15 years old. My papa was so proud of my decision."
"I bet," he says with a smile. "You two were pretty close weren't you?"
"He was everything to me, Roman," I say. "He was an amazing Papa. I didn't always agree with some of the things he did or said but he was still a great papa nonetheless. Watching him get murdered in front of me was the worst thing I had ever witnessed. I didn't know how anyone could be so cruel and so heartless but it was Victor so I wasn't surprised. I watched Victor do some heinous things in his life. I just hope that Gio doesn't turn out like him."
"I'm sure. One day I'm going to make sure you get Gio back if you still want to be in his life."
"Of course I still want to be in Gio's life. I made a mistake signing away my rights to him. I should have never done that but I was young and stupid. I made a stupid choice."
"Well, we'll figure it out together," he says making me smile.
"So where are you from? What's your nationality?"
"Well, I was born and raised in Pensacola, Florida. My dad is Samoan and my mom is Italian," he says with a smile. "So I am half Italian and half Samoan."
"Nice," I say with a smile. "It's a very nice combination. It works well for you," I say with a smile before taking a sip of wine. "You obviously already know my nationality. I'm Italian my mama and papa were full blooded Italians that came from Italy to America when they were 19 years old."
"I didn't know that you were Italian," he says jokingly making me smile. He looks so carefree when he smiles and looks so sweet. "You look beautiful when you smile like that."
"Thanks," I say with a soft smile.
"Did you travel to Italy a lot?" he asks.
"We have property in Italy. My Papa and Mama are from Venice. We traveled to Italy most of the summer. I spent more time in Italy than I did in New York. I went to boarding school in Italy."
"I see," he says, "so you're fluent in Italian?"
"Italian was my first language," I say with a smile. "I learned English second."
"I see," he says, "that's interesting."
"I want to go back to Italy someday, I want to take you with me and show you my Papa's property well, I guess it's my property now but you will love it. It's so private and secluded. Italy is beautiful, have you ever been?"
"I haven't had the pleasure of going to Italy in my lifetime. I've been a lot of places but Italy isn't one of them."
"Well, I'm going to change that," I say with a smile. "Do you come from a large family? Like do you have any brothers and sisters?"
"I have one brother and 3 sisters," he says with a smile. "I also have a lot of nieces and nephews but with my line of work I haven't seen them for years."
"I'm sorry," I say, "but you're lucky to have siblings. I didn't get that lucky. I'm an only child. I wish I could have had a brother or a sister. That's all I ever wanted. I wanted to have a baby brother more than anything."
"Do you like kids?" he asks.
"I love kids," I say with a smile. "I always wanted to have kids but when I had Gio I wasn't ready to be a mom but I do love kids. I think kids are really cute and they're fun to be around although I don't have much experience in that department the kids I have been around have been pleasant and fun."
"Kids are adorable," he says, "I hope to have more kids someday."
"Me too," I say with a smile. "What's your family like?"
"My family is very large," he says with a laugh. "It's hard to tell who all is related to me and I barely see half my family but my close family is very welcoming and very supportive. I love them. I wish I could see them more and spend more time with them but with my line of work I don't think I will be able to."
"I don't have much of a family left anymore. My mama and Papa were all that I had left. My Nonnas and Nonnos died when I was a little girl. I just feel so alone. Family is a big part of my life and now they are gone."
"I'm sorry," he says.
"It's okay. It is just going to hurt a little bit for a while. I just want these guys to get what they deserve."
"And I'll make sure they get everything they deserve," he says. "So do you read books?"
"I like to read, yes," I say with a smile, "what about you?"
"I like to read too," he says with a smile. "What do you read?"
"I will read anything. I'm big on romance novels though. I love romance novels. What about you?"
"Anything dealing with science fiction and adventure."
"Cool," I say with a smile. "If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go?"
"I would have to say Italy," he says, "or Samoa. What about you?"
"I would love to go to Paris," I say with a smile. "I've never been but I would love to go to Paris."
"Paris seems like a nice place to visit."
"I've heard good things," I say with a smile as he keeps his eyes locked with mine. He leans over and kisses me deeply and passionately. We spend the rest of our date talking more about ourselves and getting to know each other better. I could talk to him for hours and never get tired of talking to him. I love hearing his voice and I love hearing about him. I love being with him.
As the skies above start to darken and the sun starts to hide behind the clouds and the smell of rain is stronger in the air we ride our horses back to the stables. "I had a lot of fun today," I say with a smile after we tie our horses in the stable.
"Me too. I want to do it again," he says with a smile as we make our way to the house before the downpour. The clouds look as if they could burst any moment.
"So do I," I say as our fingers are laced together as we walk closely back to the house. "You are a true romantic, Mr. Reigns."
"I'm glad that you feel that way," he says with a smile as the first rain drop falls from the dark sky and lands on my arm. "Too bad the rain has to ruin it."
"Or not," I say with a smile as the downpour of rain begins before we can even make it back to the house. "Remember you want someone that will dance in the rain with you," I say with a smile, "let's dance in the rain."
"You remembered," he says with a smile.
"You're unforgettable," I say with a smile as the rain pours around us, drenching us as we begin to dance in the summer rain. The rain cools us down from the scorching heat of the summer in Texas. We dance in the rain and we run in the rain together. I take the braid out of my hair and let it loose as we dance in the rain. We're drenched, his body soaked in the rain as is mine. It doesn't get any better than this. I run and he catches me in his arms. Our bodies soaked from the rain as it continues to pour. He wraps me up in his arms and kisses my lips softly as I wrap my arms around his waist. He deepens the kiss as the sound of thunder crackles in the air. His hands are in my hair as he continues to kiss me deep.
"Let's get you inside," he says breaking the kiss and he startles me by picking me up to carry me inside. He doesn't stop until we reach my bedroom. He kisses my lips softly as he puts my feet down on the ground of my bedroom as I am up against the door. His hands are everywhere, wandering my body, exploring my body as I reach behind me to lock the door. "I love you," he says catching me by surprise as he looks into my dark eyes with his blue grey orbs.
"I love you too," I say with a smile before I kiss his lips once again. He picks me up and carries me over to my bed and lays me down gently. He covers me with his body as he deepens the kiss, his hand resting on my stomach. His soft lips part from mine as he kisses my neck softly, sucking and nibbling on my neck softly. He pulls me up and unties the back of my dress and lets it fall down to the top of my breast. I groan out in pleasure as his lips are on my collarbone, kissing it, nibbling at it. Trailing his kisses lower he moves my dress lower exposing my breasts. I moan as I feel his hand on my breasts as he massages them and kneads at them softly but firmly. His lips find the top of my breasts, he kisses them softly before taking my nipple into his mouth as he massages the other breast. A moan escapes from my mouth as his mouth is wrapped around my nipple as he sucks it softly, flicking it with his tongue. His leg positioned between my legs as he continues his trail of kisses down my body as he removes my dress with them. He removes himself long enough to remove my dress from my rain soaked body. I tug at his shirt and help him remove it before his lips are on my body again, kissing around my belly button and kissing along the top of my white lace underwear. He slides his hand into the lace of my panties and cups my sex with his hand as his lips find mine again. I feel his fingers rubbing my clit softly as I moan against his lips. I feel his erection forming and pressing against the jeans he's wearing. He tears my panties away as he keeps his kiss soft and deep, his tongue swirling and twisting with mine. I run my fingers up and down his spine, digging my nails into his back, letting out a moan as I feel him slide his fingers inside my sex as my legs part. He works his fingers in and out of my sex softly and gently, making love to me with his large fingers. I arch my back allowing them to slide deeper. He groans into my mouth as he continues making love to me with his fingers. The passion ripping through my body, I cry out as I reach my climax from his skilled movements. He breaks our kiss and stands up to remove his jeans. Pulling them down followed by his briefs he exposes his thick erection. The tip covered in pre-cum as he parts my legs again.
"Do you want to do this?" he asks.
"I do," I say with a smile as he is positioned between my legs, his naked body is glorious. He is built like an ancient God and his erection is a gift. He is truly blessed. "Do you?"
"More than anything," he says. "Do you want me to use a condom or anything?"
"I trust you," I say. "Do you trust me?"
"I trust you," he says with a smile, "and you're on birth control?"
"Yes," I breathe, anticipating the sex needing and wanting him to fill me and make love to me. "Please," I beg as he teases me with his thick cock as he rubs it up and down my sex. "Please," I say again before he slides into me slowly. He gives me time to adjust to his size before he begins his soft movements. I moan as he slides deeper inside of me. His lips find mine as he continues his soft, deep thrusts. My fingers tracing his back as he moves, I arch my back allowing him to slide deeper inside of me, filling me. He slides out and thrusts back in again softly. I move my hips and meet his movements. His arm wraps around my waist as he continues to make love to me. Moans and groans of pleasure fill the room as he picks up his pace, thrusting deeper, filling me. I feel my climax building up, the passion tearing through my body, my toes curling into the mattress, my finger nails digging into his back as I come undone. I cry out in pleasure as I find my release, he continues his movements, thrusting deeper, moving harder and faster. I feel his cock grow larger inside of me, he pulls out and slides back in, his body shaking as he finds his release, filling me with his seed as he cries out my name in pleasure. His body stills on mine as he releases his semen into me. He takes my hands into his, interlocking our fingers holding my arms above my head. "I love you," I say with a soft smile as he looks down into my dark eyes with his soft blue-grey eyes.
"I love you too," he says before he kisses my lips softly.
*A/N: What did you think of their date? Do you think it went well? What did you think about Roman telling her that they would figure out how to get Gio back? Do you think they will? What do you think of them dancing in the rain? What about them telling each other I love you and what about them making love to one another? Does this change everything now?
