"Yes. I'm sure," Annie moaned against his lips. Her voice was steady and calm, no doubts or hesitations hidden within. As if to punctuate her words, she rolled her hips against Elio's.

"Fuck, topolina," he murmured against her lips, his erection already fucking killing him from how hard it was. "We don't have to go any further. We can just do this and I'll still have a damn good time."

To be honest, he didn't want to do "just this"—what he wanted was to ride her like a fucking broom—but he also didn't want to lose her. In Elio's mind, he was afraid to push her too far and lose her in the process. He was more than willing to wait for her. Annie had already done so many new things in just one week. Was she really ready for this?

But her answer was immediate. Annie pulled back "Elio. I want you and I want this. I'm telling you that I'm ready but you're the only one who's holding back. So if you don't want this, that's okay."

Oh, he wasn't about to have her thinking he didn't want her with every fiber of his very being. Instead of answering her, Elio pushed her back against the wall as Annie let out a sharp gasp. His mouth ravished hers while his hands roamed up and down her small, sexy body. Elio's hips pushed into hers so she could feel just how badly he did want her.

"Little mouse, I want you more than anything on the fucking planet," he murmured as one hand squeezed her petite, perky breasts. "I was just giving you a chance to change your mind before I lose control. Because once I get inside you, it'll take an army to drag me away."

Annie moaned and arched her back just as Elio's head dipped down and kissed her breasts through her thin, soft sweater. Merlin, he could feel the lace of her bra against his lips and it tortured him. She tortured him.

"Elio, please," Annie whimpered. The sound of it almost made his knees buckle. He dragged his lips up her neck and pulled her into another searing kiss.

"Not here, baby. You deserve a bed." He chuckled. "Actually, you deserve a bloody mansion filled with roses and diamonds but the best I can do right now is take you to a bed."

He placed his arms on her ass, thankful he could finally squeeze it in his palms after a torturous evening looking at it in those tight leggings she wore. Elio's lips never left hers, which meant that he stubbed his toes on many of the stairs on the way up. He didn't care. She was worth a little pain and an ingrown toenail.

"Do you have a room here?" he asked against her lips.

Annie nodded and pulled on the strands of his hair. He groaned. He fucking loved it when she did that. "Third door on the right."

Elio quickly strode over to it and opened the door with one hand. He tossed her onto the soft bed. Annie giggled and sat up to look at him with dark eyes. They were almost predatory in nature. Elio immediately got the feeling that his sweet Annie had a dark side, one that might possibly be making an appearance soon.

Fuck, that would be something.

One reason he always told himself he didn't want a long-term relationship was the sex. He didn't want boring, missionary sex once a month with some pureblood girl who cared more about parties than an actual relationship. But with Annie, he knew that wasn't even going to be close to the truth. For one, she was proving to have quite the libido for someone who had never done anything remotely intimate with another person. But another reason was because even kissing Annie felt more heavenly than anything he'd ever done. Maybe it was that emotional connection his mother always implored him to create with someone. He knew that sex would be incredible because he fucking loved her (also because she was the hottest girl alive but mainly because he loved her).

His eyes zeroed in on her while a lazy grin overcame his face. She squirmed in anticipation. "I'm sorry, baby. I'm going to try to be gentle but you just look so damn good. I'll give you romance another time."

Annie just rolled her eyes. He loved these little pieces in time where her walls were down and she allowed herself to be herself. The Annie in those moments was a little silly, sometimes sassy, and definitely sexy. He loved all of it and more.

"Just come here and take what you want."

That snapped whatever little thread of control he had left. Elio stripped off the rumpled white button-down. His suit jacket was somewhere in the living room—he'd discarded it after he showed up looking decidedly less dressed for comfort than her. The suit pants were next until he was standing in a pair of black boxer briefs that definitely showed off his package a little. What could he say? He liked looking good for her.

Annie licked her lips as she looked him up and down. He couldn't lie—he definitely flexed his muscles a little bit as she took her fill. In other circumstances, he might have laughed at the blatant desire on her face but right now, it made him feel like a fucking god. Over a decade of working out consistently was clearly paying off.

"Like what you see, topolina? It's all yours."

She bit back a grin before mussing up her hair. He never thought bloody hair could be sexy until he was staring at Annie with hair that was begging to be pulled in all different directions. "I suppose you'll do."

He chuckled. "Ouch. I knew I didn't deserve you but you couldn't at least pretend."

Annie's eyes widened with a twinge of insecurity. "If anything, it's the opposite."

Elio stalked over to her on the bed, pushing forward until she was laying on her back and he was hovering on top of her. They were millimeters apart at this moment, both of them breathing heavily with anticipation. "Don't let anyone make you feel like you're anything less than a fucking angel, Annie. I'm so lucky to be with you. It's not the other way around."

A small blush rose to her cheeks. Her heaving chest drew his peripheral vision but Elio kept his eyes locked plainly on hers. Believe me. You're wonderful. A small smile danced across her face. "I love you. Come here."

He didn't need to be told twice.

He brought his lips back to hers while one of his hands slowly pulled down her leggings. He pulled back, running a hand through his hair before stripping off her sweater.

He was right. There was a matching set of black, lacy lingerie that drove him fucking wild. They were so delicate yet so sultry, pushing up her breasts so much that they looked like they were being offered to him on a sinful black platter. Her lips were full from all of their kissing while her soft brown waves were frizzy from him pulling on them during their kisses.

A slow smile spread across Elio's face as he let out a soft whistle. "Like I said: a fucking angel."

He lunged forward, his hands raking all over her soft skin while he hungrily kissed her. Annie let out soft little whimpers while he thrust his hips into hers. There were only two scraps of fabric between them and it took everything in him not to rip them apart at the seams. This is her first time. Be gentle.

But that was easier said than done when she was writhing like that under him.

One of his hands worked its way under her bra. He moaned at the feeling of the soft flesh cupped in his skin. Elio's thumb swirled around the nipple, pinching and tweaking it as Annie cried out. Finally, his patience was gone. He ripped—physically ripped—the bra off of her petite body before giving the panties the same treatment. Annie exclaimed in shock as he tossed the torn scraps of fabric on the floor.

"I liked those!"

"They were keeping you from me," he murmured huskily. "I'll buy you many more."

Elio began to kiss down her body. Fuck, he could smell how wet she was from here. Elio nipped at the inside of her thighs before burying his face in her delicate folds. Annie gasped and tried to grab at his hair but he didn't slow down, lapping in all of her delicious juices. She tasted like heaven. Sweet, honey heaven.

"Elio," Annie moaned. Her grip on his locks was harsh but he just kissed his way back up to her clit before plunging first one finger in her, then two. She was so wet already that it was like gliding through butter.

He pumped them back and forth while sucking on her clitoris. Annie's body moved wildly on the bed, so much so that he had to use the heel of his other hand to firmly press her stomach down.

"Mm, you taste like everything I've ever wanted and nothing I deserve," he moaned against her pussy. Annie cried out at the vibrations.

"Elio, Elio please."

He didn't listen, curling his fingers inside of her until he found the one spot that drove her crazy.

"Elio, I can't..."

"You can, baby, you can." He looked up at her only to find her eyes shut firmly with pleasure. Annie's breasts heaved sporadically through her panting breaths.

Elio increased the pressure of his hands before using his thumb to flick and play with her clit. Another blissful moan exited her body as he played with that tight little bundle of nerves. He could feel her approaching her release, feel the temperature in the room drive even higher while she arched against the bed.

But just as quickly as the tension in the room came, it stopped with just the side of her voice. "Elio Nott!" she cried out. "If you don't get inside of me right now, I'm walking out that door!"

His eyes widened. Bossy little thing, isn't she? Elio just smirked before losing his boxers in the pile of clothes at the edge of the room. "Eager, aren't we, baby?"

Annie slowly began to regain her breath. She nodded. "I need you."

He crawled over to her like the beggar he was. Elio leaned over Annie—staring into those starry eyes—before growling lowly in her ear, "In here, I'm the boss, baby. I know what you need and I know when to give it to you. So sit back and enjoy the ride."

"How do you keep getting sexier?"

"You just bring it out of me, Annie darling," he said with a quick wink thrown her way.

Elio notched himself at her entrance and almost shuddered when he rubbed his cock in her juices. Somehow, he knew he wouldn't last long. But just before he entered her, he cursed. "Fuck! I don't have a condom."

Annie's eyebrows furrowed. "You don't?"

He smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck. "I kind of threw them all away when I met you. I thought it'd be a while before we needed any and I didn't want you seeing them and getting the wrong idea."

Annie bit her lip before threading her hands in his hair. She looked so beautiful underneath him. Elio decided at that moment that it was where she would be spending a lot of her time. "Well..." she drawled. "That's okay."

Elio choked. "It's o-okay?"

A devilish smile spread across her face. "Yeah. I don't want anything between us."

"Fuck. Have I ever told you that you're perfect?"

"Once or twice."

Elio balanced himself on his elbows. "This might hurt, Annie—"

"Just get inside of me, Elio," she growled impatiently. She looked more like an angry kitten than anything. "Unless you don't want to."

That challenge was enough to have him entering her in one swift stroke. "Fuuuuuck," he hissed. Elio had planned on... oh... moving but he was struggling to in that moment.

"What? Does it not feel okay?" Annie asked through gritted teeth.

He chuckled. "It feels more than okay. I'm just trying not to come in one goddamn thrust. I'm assuming you want your first time to last more than ten seconds but you feel so fucking good, Annie." He looked down at her and saw the little bits of pain written on her face. "Are you alright?"

She nodded quickly. Too quickly. "Topolina, you don't have to lie to me."

"It hurts," she said softly. "It feels good but it hurts too."

He nodded. "Color?"

"Green." So Elio gently kissed her shoulder before moving slowly inside of her. Annie hissed out a pained breath but it didn't take long for those to turn into small gasps of pleasure. He resisted fully sheathing himself inside of her while he let her—and him if he was being honest—get used to the sensation. Elio'd had sex many times but this was different. And it wasn't just the lack of a condom—though that definitely made it all the more satisfying considering his dick could feel every little ridge inside of her. Mostly, it was just the emotional intimacy heightening their physical intimacy. He loved making love to her because he loved her. Every little moan she made meant that much more. Every time her eyes rolled back and her body arched off the body was that much more satisfying. Every kiss had him seeing stars.

It was only a few thrusts before Annie was gripping his shoulders and slowly moving with him. A few delicious strokes were all he needed to bury himself as far as he could. "More," Annie breathed.

So he started slamming into her lazily, each long, slow thrust making him feel like he was on top of the world. Soon, the sounds of flesh hitting flesh and them letting out little moans were the only sounds filling the room. Annie closed her eyes but Elio smacked her ass. Before she could scold him, he bit her lip. "Eyes on me."

And somehow, that made it better. He watched as the stars in her eyes shifted every time he ground against her. After a few blissful minutes, he found himself near release. Tight coils formed in his chest while he moved against her.

"Elio... Elio, I'm about to..."

"I know, baby. Me too." He kissed her gently before staring back into her eyes. "Come for me, little mouse. Give me your everything."

And then they were flying over the edge together, their bodies molding together like two pieces to a puzzle. He wasn't planning on coming inside of her but Annie had refused to let go of him and, to be honest, the idea of planting himself on every part of her body appealed to some primal part of him. So he groaned just as her body tightened around him.

Annie arched into him while she cried out his name. He took the excuse to wrap his arms around her and pull her close, kissing all along her neck and collarbone while she came back down. The air was charged with electricity while they saw stars together, surrounded by a rush of pleasure and emotion. It was by far the strongest orgasm Elio had ever felt.

He rocked slowly in and out of her until he finally felt himself come back to Earth. Annie blinked a couple of times before looking up at him in a mixture of wonderment and happiness.

"You're mine," Elio whispered. "All mine."

She wrapped her arms around his neck before nuzzling his face with hers. "That was incredible."

He smiled. "Really? What was it like?" Because for some reason, the only way Elio could think of describing what just happened was that it felt like getting hit by a bullet train but loving every goddamn second.

Annie pursed her lips in thought before staring deeply into his eyes. "Like a symphony."

"What?" It wasn't the kind of answer he was expecting.

She smiled. She looked so beautiful when she smiled. He fucking loved it. "In music, there's this part of the song called a crescendo when everything gets louder and louder until they climax. It's the best part of the song because everything you've been working toward finally falls into place and the most beautiful part of the song happens. And in symphonies, it's like that but with many instruments, each of them doing their own little melody as they work to create the big picture." Annie paused and gathered her thoughts before saying, "I thought that love would be like a nice, simple duet. Two parts, two melodies. But you made me realize it's like a symphony. There are a million little pieces and some of them are loud and some aren't perfect but when they all come together—when they have their crescendo—it's the most beautiful thing you've ever heard. Like everything has fallen into place and you lose yourself to everything but the music."

He stared at her, completely in awe of this incredible woman in front of him. She was smart and talented and beautiful and, somehow, made him fall in love with her with every second.

Annie winced. "Sorry... I can get weird about music," she said softly, clearly embarrassed.

Elio didn't let her duck her face behind her hair like she always tried to. Instead, he grabbed her chin and lifted up her face before kissing her softly. "You are incredible, Annie," he murmured. "And I'm so honored to be a piece of your symphony."

Don't mind me. My cheeks are just wet, it's definitely not happy tears because I love them. Not at all.

Hope you all liked the little bit of spice and ofc the sweet moment at the end. Let me know what you think and have a good week! :)))
