Much later that night and while we were hugging in bed I remembered something.
—I need a new car. —and Christian stared at me thoughtfully. —I liked the one I had a lot, but I don't think it's going to do much good now. — I said to him while he smiled at me.
—That can be solved. —and I looked at him squinting.
—I know you're a millionaire, but don't even think about buying me a car. —I said to him very seriously, pointing at him with one finger.
—I wasn't going to. —he replied, smiling sideways.
—Don't tell me you have another car? —I asked him curiously.
—All right, I'm not telling you, how about I show it to you on wednesday when we go to my apartment.
—I don't want you to bother because of me. — I said to him but he silenced me by kissing me.
—It's no trouble at all, I haven't used it in a long time, I guess you must like it. —he smiled at me.
—What model is he? —I asked him with great curiosity.
—You'll have to wait until wednesday to see him. —he said to me as I leaned over him.
—And I can't do anything to convince you to tell me. —I said to him, sliding my hand along his naked torso.
—You can do whatever you want. —he replied laughing. —I won't tell you in the end. —he answered while he stole a kiss from me.
—We'll see. —I said to him, as I began to kiss, and around his neck, and then down his torso, feeling his body shudder and a groan escaped him.
I walked through his body slowly, making him groan and tremble at my caresses. I kissed every inch of his sculpted body until he couldn't stand it any longer and he made love to me sweetly and tenderly, without haste, taking all our time, making me moan in various ways until I fell exhausted lying on his chest trying to normalize my accelerated breathing as well as his. Christian stroked my hair as my eyes slowly closed.
—I'm going to give you a hint, it's black and you're going to like it a lot. —he said to me as I smiled slightly and fell asleep hugging his chest.
We walked hand in hand down the museum corridor towards the elevator. Christian looked at me smilingly as we entered the elevator and the doors closed. He stole a kiss from me before the doors opened and he left for his office and I headed for my easel.
—Everything all right with the boss? —Mia asked me as she reached my side.
—More than well. —I replied with a smile as she stared at me, squinting intrigued.
—I see you happy. What happened? —she asked me curiously while I smiled at her like an idiot before answering her.
—I remembered everything. —I replied while Mia shouted with emotion.
—You don't know how happy I am for you. —she hugged me.
—Thank you. — I answered sincerely.
—You know, I've wanted to ask you something for a long time, but with the accident and the loss of your memory, I didn't do it.
—Well, ask me. —I encouraged her while she looked at me with the curiosity marked on her face.
—You know, I was shocked when I saw you kissing at my wedding and from that moment I am very curious. I know it's none of my business, but I'd like to know.
—Question.
—How long have you been together? Not since the wedding, right? —she asked me while I smiled at her.
—No Mia, it's not since the wedding, we had been together for a few weeks, I just didn't want to make it public, you know from the comments of the new one dating the boss. —I replied while she smiled at me.
—I understand, I wouldn't like those comments either. And what made you change your mind.
—Well, I hadn't changed my mind, but when I'm near him I forget everything. —I said to her, getting lost in the memory of the kiss at the wedding.
—Yes, I noticed that. —she replied, taking me out of my memories.
—We'd better get to work, Christian is watching us from his office. —I said to Mia as she smiled at Christian and he smiled back at me.
Mia separated from me and went to her job and I concentrated fully on mine trying to completely forget that Christian was only a few metres away from me in his office. The day passed quickly and so came the long-awaited wednesday. I wanted the day's work to end quickly as I was anxious to see the car that Christian would lend me. At noon we went out for lunch together. It was something strange that little by little I was getting used to. In the afternoon, minutes before the time to leave, Mia approached me.
—It's very different.
—Hey. —I replied cluelessly because of his question.
—The boss. —she looked briefly at the office where Christian was sitting behind the desk.
—Christian?
—Yes, Christian, you've changed it.
—I haven't changed him, he was like that, he just needed someone to love him, that's all. —I smiled back at him.
—The beast has disappeared.
—You see, the lion is not as fierce as they paint it.
—No, just need to be tamed.
—I don't think it's completely tamed. — I said to her as we walked towards the elevator.
—As we passed Christian's office, I said goodbye to Mia and came in to pick him up.
—Shall we go now? — I asked him as he looked up and smiled at me, making my breathing start to accelerate.
—Are you anxious to leave? —he asked as he took the jacket from the back of the chair.
—Not much. —I replied smiling, although the truth was that I was anxious, even if I didn't show it.
—Let's go then. —he said, pulling my hand and dragging me out of his office.
The journey to his apartment today seemed longer than usual and as soon as he parked the car and we got out he smiled at me.
—Do you like the car? —he asked me with an eyebrow.
—You still haven't told me what it is. —I said to him as I looked alternately at all the cars parked there.
From what he had told me, it was black and there were several black cars, although only one was parked next to the porch.
—I think this is it. —I said as I approached the elegant black and silver Ford Mustang parked next to us.
—Are you sure that's it? —he asked me, standing next to me.
—I'm sure, it has your style. —I said to him, running my hand gently over the hood.
—Well, this is your new car. —he said to me as I turned towards him and looked at him frowning.
—Borrowed. —I said to him, pointing a finger at him.
But he just smiled at me and approached me, cornering me against the hood of the car, putting his hands on my waist.
—And I can't convince you to stay with him, I don't use him in the end. —he said as his lips approached mine.
—I don't think you can do anything to convince me.
—Do you doubt my ability to convince? — he asked me framing an eyebrow and separating his face a little from mine.
—Yes. —I answered him firmly as he smiled mischievously at me and brought his lips towards my neck as he squeezed me by the waist against his body.
—Don't tempt me, Anastasia, you don't know what I'm capable of. —he whispered in my ear.
—I'm not doing it, I'm just saying that you can't convince me to keep the car. — I smiled back at him.
—No! Are you sure? —he said as he slowly slid one hand down my cheek. —I can get you to do a lot of things without even realizing it. —he said to me, slowly kissing my neck, causing me to close my eyes and tilt my head back.
His lips slowly ran through my neck, my cheek, even soft and persuasive to feel them on my lips. They felt warm, tempting, inciting me with gentle movements, lighting my body little by little. Exciting me. His lips separated from mine by pulling my lower lip and I opened my eyes to find him smiling in front of me.
—You see, I can achieve with only one kiss that you do what I want, without hardly realizing it. —he said to me while I stared at him without understanding anything.
And then I quickly understood what he meant. I didn't know how but at that moment I was sitting on the hood of the car while I had my legs around Christian's waist. When did all this happen?
—How did I get here? —I asked him intrigued.
—I see that my kisses make you forget everything. —he smiled tenderly at me.
And he was right, his kisses made me forget everything, time and place. There was only him and the heat of his body burning against mine.
—You've always had that effect on me, I won't deny it, when I'm with you I forget everything. —I said to him while he smiled sexy and I bit my lower lip.
—Then forget time and everything, forget that there is a tomorrow and there is an after, there is only now... —he said to me while he was sliding one hand over my cheek and the other was squeezing it on my waist. —And now...is to love us eternally. —he said with his lips glued to mine as he gave me a slow and sensual kiss.
His recent words resounded in my mind clouding all my senses. His lips slowly separated from mine and after holding my hand and I got out of the car we went up to the apartment.
—I will prepare dinner today. —I said to him as soon as we entered the apartment.
—All right, I won't object, especially because I like to see you when you're cooking.
An hour and a half later I was finishing dinner as well as the bottle of wine that Christian had opened.
—I think it's time for dessert. —he said in my ear, catching me from behind while he stuck to me by squeezing his hands around my waist.
—I haven't prepared dessert, and I think you eat it after dinner, not before. —I answered him, turning in his arms.
—But the one I need, I'm going to enjoy right now. —and in a quick movement he carried me in his arms and began to walk with me.
—Where are we going?
—It's not obvious, let's take a bath. —he said, walking towards the bathroom in his room.
Upon entering, and to my surprise, he had filled the tub in the bathroom from which it exhaled a delicious scent. He lowered me and slowly, without separating his hands, not even for a moment from my body did he begin to undress me, running through my body with his hands as well as with his lips. After submerging me in the tub he quickly undressed and also got behind me and began to pour water on my body as he kissed my neck and whispered words of love in my ear.
