The Secret Between Us
Chapter 1

We play to be happy, that nothing matters to us and that we forget everything, one more night with these four walls as a witness of our infinite love, is to feel his skin on my skin and have the feeling that I touch the sky with my fingertips, every movement of his in me is perfect and I can only dream of stopping time right now. Only he is able to make me feel all this, his body has the key that opens all my senses and makes me go crazy to the point that I have to bite his shoulder to silence my m***s, I let myself be carried by his hand to that perfect place where we forget who we are and that all this should not be.

“I love you, Mia.” He says against my lips as his body melts with pleasure next to mine.

My breathing is wandering as are my thoughts, but what I feel for him I will never doubt. “I love you too Izan” I say as my fingers roam over that sensual tattoo in the center of his upper back that I love so much. He prints the imprint of his lips on mine again in the middle of an intense k**s and then he lifts his face a little, he looks at the clock on the bedside table and his gesture says it all. -You have to go now, don’t you? – I ask sadly.

He gets out of me carefully, settles down next to me on this bed that in a short time will become an ice tempane and hugs me to him. -I don’t want to do it. – He whispers to me, “but you know I have to if we want to stay together. –

-I know…” I say and without being able to help it, I rest my ear on his chest, more precisely where his heart is, and I listen to the erratic rhythm of his heartbeat -I love listening to your heart after making love. – I murmur.

I hear him chuckle softly and smile -you drive the poor guy crazy, he wants to come out of my chest every time I’m with you. – He whispers to me as his long fingers tangle in my hair and he adjusts it. He sighs and I know goodbye is coming… “how much I hate this moment…”

-How I wish we weren’t who we are…- I say and yes, from happiness I go to this every night we are together and it’s been like this for two years now “I should be used to it by now.”

-My love, I wish so much that things were different…- she murmurs.

-I know… you better go before they start looking for you. – I ask him and I’d rather have him, even if it’s only in moments, than never have him at all.

I separate from him, sit on the edge of the bed and look for my clothes on the floor to start getting dressed -can you escape for the weekend with me? – he asks me out of the blue and I turn to look at him a little confused.

-What? – I ask.

He stands up, puts on his boxers and smiles -I have to go to close a business deal for my father in Miami, maybe you could come with me. –

-Alone? – I ask doubtfully.

-The pilot, my bodyguard and I, and as you know, they already know you. – he explains.

-The only ones who know me. – I correct myself.

-Exactly. – he affirms, “Are you coming? – he insists while now he puts on his pants.

-Let me try to escape from Santiago, I’ll see if Micaela is willing to say I’m with her. – I explain.

Izan walks towards me with his pants still unbuttoned and the image is one of the most sensual that can exist on earth. He is so handsome… I die with those green eyes that look at me like that, with his jet black hair messy because of my fingers, with that masculine beard and with those harmonious muscles that make his body look like a sculpture…

-I’m dying to have you for a weekend all to myself. – He tells me holding my face delicately and then k****s me again, leaving fire on my lips.

-And me for not having to leave your side… I’ll do everything I can, I swear it. – I answer and he smiles.

-I love you. –

-I love you more. – I answer and we separate again to finish dressing, he puts on the clothes he came with tonight and I just put on my nightgown.

-Will you stay here tonight? – he asks me as he picks up his cell phone and wallet.

-Yes, I don’t feel like going to my apartment, it’s already late. – I explain and he smiles.

-I don’t like you walking alone in the street at this hour and taking you close to where your fiancé or someone from your family might show up is not very convenient. – she comments guiltily.

-Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. – I say, settling back on the bed.

-I think Aida left some food in the fridge. – she explains.

-Can you stop worrying so much? I can take care of anything that’s missing in this house. – I remind him and he smiles.

I will always worry about you, you are the love of my life Mia Morelli. – he says on my lips.

-And you mine, Izan De Luca…” I rebut and put my hands around his neck.

-Think about Miami. –

-I will, love, now you’d better go, let’s not ruin everything. – I ask him and I know that, if he doesn’t leave tonight, everything we have been taking care of for two years could be in danger.

-Bye. – he finally says.

-Bye…” I answer and I can only watch him leave this room where so many times we are happy, but so many other times I am left with this emptiness wanting the walls that separate us to no longer exist.

I hear the front door of the house closing while I hug my pillow and I can’t stop thinking about our meeting, about that night where love took hold of us without even knowing our names and when we knew them, it was too late, we were so in love that we couldn’t separate. Maybe it is our destiny to live like this, to keep this love as our best secret.
