Jacopo's hands roved down my body, and he crushed me to his chest as the kiss grew passionate. A soft moan escaped my lips as I savored the feeling of his touch. His hard frame pressed against me, and I could feel the unmistakable bulge in the crotch of his pants.

I nodded, unable to form words. The feelings I felt for him were consuming me, and I knew there was no going back.

I winced and gestured to the red jagged wound that marred my thigh. 


"It's been better, Doc. Looking forward to getting these stitches out."
