Chapter 22

The door swung open and Aaron stood there, nearly naked, a towel barely covering his private parts. Giovanni took him by the arm and carried him to the bed like a princess.

"What are you doing? Let go of me!" Aaron protested, feeling uncomfortable. But Giovanni gently placed him on the edge of the bed and knelt between his legs, resting his head on Aaron's stomach. They stayed like that for a moment, Giovanni searching for his words and Aaron unsure of what to say.

"I love you," Giovanni murmured, pressing his face against Aaron's stomach. "I love you so much," he repeated over and over. "I love you so much. I love you..."

Aaron gently lifted his head and looked into his burning eyes.

"Oh my God," Giovanni exclaimed. "I love you so much, Aaron. My love for you is infinite. My desire for you is insatiable."

"And if I fulfill your desire, will you still love me or will the love fade with the desire?" Aaron asked.

Giovanni fell silent, the question challenging him. But he suggested they find the answer together.

"Let me possess you once. And then, we shall see..." Giovanni proposed, and Aaron agreed. His response had been rash. Almost too hasty. And too senseless. But this man...he had such strength in his gaze. Such possessiveness. Such desire, then...Aaron wanted to know what it felt like to make love. And Giovanni was the perfect subject.

Giovanni, capturing a gentle kiss and wanting to devour him right then and there, was interrupted by Aaron.

"Not now. Since there are people around us. I cannot do it knowing that my sister is right next door," Aaron intervened.

"Understood," Giovanni agreed. "Let's forget about sex, but... are kisses also forbidden?"

He felt compelled to pose the question. They were nothing to each other after all. Giovanni, although happy with Aaron's favorable response, was surprised by his acceptance. He had thought he would refuse given the anger and... a bit of disgust he had shown the first time Giovanni kissed him. When he had forced him.

"No, we can kiss but only in this chamber."

"Are you ashamed for people to see us? Or for them to judge us?"

"I care not for those people. It is Nikita and Kira I worry about."

"Understood." Giovanni nodded.

"You are..." From then on, every time Aaron spoke, Giovanni sealed his words with a kiss. Until Aaron was exhausted and they kissed passionately once more. This time, Giovanni was not satisfied with just Aaron's lips, he kissed him all over, avoiding certain areas.

"How do you manage to be so sweet and tender?" Giovanni asked, which made Aaron laugh, finding the remark absurd. "Do you coat yourself in honey before bed?"

"No," Aaron replied, still laughing. "I do nothing special..."

Jjj

"Knock knock."

A visitor made themselves heard. It was Gabriel, a kitchen employee, who informed them that lunch was almost ready. Giovanni sighed deeply, annoyed, and promised the man that they would soon join him.

"You should go first. I still need to get dressed," said Aaron.

"No, I prefer to stay. I don't even want to leave this room, to be honest. I wish time would stop and there would only be the two of us on earth," Giovanni confessed sincerely.

"I don't know how many women you've said that to, but it doesn't work with me," Aaron replied, putting on his underwear and removing the towel. Standing in his underwear in front of Giovanni, he felt the latter approaching him from behind, pressing his body against his, his hardened member rubbing against his buttocks.

"Look what you're making me endure," Giovanni murmured in Aaron's ear, making him shiver.

"Is that your penis against my buttocks?" Aaron asked.

"Yes, it's because of you that it's like this," Giovanni admitted.

"I don't want to know. Take care of that and let me get dressed."

"I'll go shower then..."

As Giovanni stood in the shower pleasuring himself, he intentionally moaned loudly so Aaron could hear. Drawn by these suggestive sounds, Aaron stripped off his underwear, opened the bathroom door, and was irresistibly pulled in by Giovanni, falling against his muscular chest.
