Chapter 81 Broken Into Million Pieces

• Riccardo chipped away at my defenses. He showed me a softer side of himself that I had never seen before, one that reveled in simple pleasures like watching the sunset or sharing a home-cooked meal.
• And then one night, as we lay together, he took me in his arms and kissed me deeply. The passion between us was palpable, and I knew undoubtedly that I was meant to be with this man.
• We made love that night, and it was like nothing I had ever experienced before. I felt a connection with Riccardo that transcended the physical plane it was as if our souls were merging in ecstasy.
