Chapter 9

Let Me Love You

Ezio's POV

I decided that we would stay and that I would finish my father's work. So for nearly two years we planned and trained. Isabel and I had little time to spend with each other, I fell in love with her more and more every day. Her hair grew longer and her eyes seemed brighter. I loved her more than anything and I knew that now. I just had to find a way to tell her. My uncle said to marry her, but it had only been two years. However, if ever I were to marry someone it would be her. And one day I planned to, when all this was over. Still I wanted to do something special for her. I wanted to ask my mother but she still had not spoken a word. I leaned against the wall in the entrance hall.

"Ezio?"

I looked at my sister.

"Claudia."

"What's wrong?"

"I want to do something special for Isabel. I just don't know what to do."

She smiled and took my hand.

"Come with me."

I was curious and so I followed her.

Isabel's POV

Over the past two years, Ezio and Mario had been rebuilding Monteggiorni. When we had arrived, the city seemed dead. Now it was a live again. Shops had been repaired and restored. The Villa was truly shining once again. The windows were no longer boarded up and the vines had been taken from the walls. I'd been scouting Firenze and a few other places to see if we could find Rodrigo. Rodrigo Borgia, one of the most powerful men in Europe. The leader of the Templar Order. He wanted Ezio's family dead and now he would be looking for him as well. Over my dead body would he get Ezio. I walked inside the Villa and set down my bag.

"Ezio?"

Silence was my answer and I frowned.

"Claudia?"

It was then that I saw a rose lying at the top of the stairs. I picked it up and smiled. It was a white rose and there were white petals leading upstairs. I followed them and climbed up into the room I shared with Ezio. There were more petals and candles. I smiled and walked into the room. I could sense someone behind me so I turned. There he was with a smile on his face.

"What is all this about?"

He walked forward.

"I wanted to do something special. We've been very busy and I want to have some time alone with you."

I smiled and looked down.

"Well this was very clever."

He chuckled and I tapped the rose against his chest.

"Where did you find these roses?"

"I have my ways."

"Oh you do?"

He smiled and I laughed. I put the rose on the desk and grabbed the front of his robes. I moved my hands up his chest and he ran his fingers through my hair. He leaned down and kissed me softly. After words he took me to the top of the Villa. There were roses and a few candles there as well. For once, the sky was clear and we could see the moon and stars.

"It's beautiful up here."

"Indeed."

He was looking at me and I smirked. He put his arms around me and I leaned into his chest.

"Isabel look at me."

I did as he asked and he put his hand on my shoulder.

"Ti amo Isabel."

Slowly I smiled and then threw my arms around him.

"And I love you too Ezio."

He held me tightly and did not let go.

"I love you so much." he whispered.

I closed my eyes and buried my face in his robes. He always smelled wonderful, like sweet wine. I looked up and leaned forward until his lips were only inches from mine. He closed the space between us and I closed my eyes. His tongue swiped over my lower lip and I moaned, which allowed him access. His tongue stroked mine and I moved my hands to his hair. He fell back and then kissed down my jaw.

"Ezio wait! We can't do this here." I said breathlessly.

He stopped and we went back through the window. Once inside I smashed my lips against his. He wrapped his arms around me and I brought my arms up his back and to his shoulders. I pulled back so I could look into his eyes.

"Ezio…I want to give myself to you. But I need you to promise me that I will be the only one."

His eyes went wide and I saw the desire in his eyes.

Ezio's POV

I had not expected this. I had dreamed of it many times. Feeling her body against mine, ran my hands over her soft skin. I almost didn't believe it.

"Since the day you helped save me from the guards, you have been the only woman I have thought about. You are the only one Isabel, you always will be."

She smiled at me and then kissed me. Her lips were soft and warm. Her hair felt like silk and her skin was smooth and warm to the touch. I was soon up against a wall and she unbuckled my belt and pushed off my robes.

"My pants won't disappear in the morning will they?"

She laughed and shook her head.

"Only if you want them to."

"Hmm, I will think about it."

She smiled and then ran her hands down my chest and under my shirt. I closed my eyes as her gentle hands wondered my chest.

"Isabel…"

Her lips were now at my neck and then she pulled my shirt off. She looked at me and I untied the front of her corset. She smiled at me and the corset fell to the floor, her shit soon joined it and she rubbed her breasts against my chest. I shivered in delight and picked her up. She wrapped her legs around my waist and I moved my lips down her neck to her collar bone.

"E-Ezio!"

I smiled against her skin and then carried her to the bed. I threw her down and she laughed. I moved onto her and I dropped my mouth to hers. She moaned into my mouth and lightly ran her nails down my back. I shivered and pinned her hands above her. She smiled in a seductive way and then hooked her leg around mine. I ended up on my back and I looked at her in surprise.

"How did-"

"You can use moves like that for other than fighting."

I smiled and she slowly moved against me.

Isabel's POV

He threw his head back which gave me room to move to his neck. I nipped lightly and sucked gently. His hand tunneled into my hair and he moved my lips to his. I never thought I could love someone as much as I loved Ezio. I moved a little harder and a low moan passed through his lips. I sparked something within me and I moved back. I pulled off his pants and smiled.

"Well, well, well…fortune has favored me."

He smirked and sat up.

"Indeed it has." he growled.

I kissed him hard and slid my tongue past his lips. He moaned and somehow, my pants ended up on the ground. He looked at me as though I were the only thing in the room.

"You are so beautiful." he breathed.

She smiled and he kissed me. I felt his hand slowly moved down my body. He lifted my leg and moved his hand down my thigh and then I felt him move between my legs. He stroked me and my eyes fluttered closed. It was incredible, and he knew exactly what to do.

"Have you ever done this before?" he asked softly.

"No."

"I will be gentle." he whispered.

He kissed just beneath my ear and I moaned his name. He dipped his finger inside me and I sucked in a breath. He kissed me and started to move his finger before adding another. It was a strange but pleasurable feeling. He added a third finger and I was shaking. I wanted more than what he was giving me.

"Ezio please!" I begged.

He removed his fingers and I whimpered at the empty feeling. I saw him stroke himself before moving between my legs. He put his hand on the side of my face and looked into my eyes.

"Is this what you want?"

"Yes…"

He nodded and I watched him push himself inside me. He was big and thicker than I thought. He stopped and he had me look into his eyes.

"Just look at me." he said.

I nodded and he pushed slowly. My jaw slowly dropped as he went deeper. He thrust hard and there was pain. I gasped and tensed up.

"Guardami." (Look at me.) he whispered.

I opened my eyes and looked at him.

"Il dolore non durerà." (The pain will not last.)

I nodded and he started to kiss me gently. The pain faded away and I moved my hips a bit. I enjoyed the feeling and I nodded. He pulled himself from me before sliding back in.

Ezio's POV

I had slept with women before but it never felt like this. This was different, it was better and most importantly, it was with a woman I truly loved. That was what made this feel so good. I grabbed her hips and moved them with mine. She was moaning my name over and over again, it was making me lose control. Her hand ran all over my chest and abdomen as I moved inside her.

"Isabel…"

I dropped down so I could kiss her. She wrapped her arms around me and I went faster and harder.

"EZIO!"

I felt her coming around me and I roared her name before I also reached release. I held myself up on my forearms and looked at her.

"I love you." I said.

She smiled and ran her fingers through my hair.

"I love you too." she whispered.

I smiled and kissed her again before falling beside her. She moved into my arms and put her head on my shoulder and her hand over my heart.

"Do you want your pants to disappear?"

I laughed and kissed the top of her head.

"Next time."

She chuckled and then drifted off to sleep. She was always so peaceful when she slept. Except when she had certain dreams, then I would get hit in the face. I smiled and stroked her hair before closing my eyes to sleep.
