10 Come and Run With Me Tonigh (1/2)

[Continuation to the novel...]

I moaned when his hands began to get frisky. His kisses went down my neck and chest before taking a nipple after he pulled the top of my dress down my stomach. I gasped at the warmth of his mouth on my skin. I tried not to make a sound or my father would find us out here in the library. I didn't want that ever happening or the love of my life would be taken from me. I couldn't live a life without Ivano.

”I want you to take me.” I said to him and Ivano stopped sucking my nipple.

”Are you sure?” His bewildered face registered a little fear and so much excitement just as how I felt.

”Yes, my love. No more playing around. No more waiting until I reach eighteen. My father planned on marrying me off to his wealthy friend.”

”What?” Ivano suddenly released me from his possessive hold before stepping back. ”You're getting married?”

”Please, Ivano.” I reached for him but he pulled back again. ”Listen to me. You're the only man I love. I will ever love. That's why I'm giving myself to you. I want you to have me first.”

”But I want to be your first and last, Katherine! I want you for forever! I can't let you get married to someone else!”

”We both know there's no saying no to my father, my love.”

”Then let's leave! Both of us.” Ivano's voice laced with so much conviction but I couldn't leave because of my fear to my father. ”Let's run away, Katherine. I will take care of you. You know I love you. I will provide for you, my love.”

”My father will still find us, Ivano. There's no hiding from him. He will punish us.”

”There's no punishment worse than seeing you with someone else, my love. I will die of heartache!” The agony in his voice was so audible that I could practically feel his own pain. ”Let's run before the sun comes up tomorrow. Then we'll get married. He can't do anything about it once we've already tied the knot.”
