He bent down and lifted me up so that I was bridal style against his chest. I wrapped my arms around the back of his neck as he pulled me closer than close.

"Say it again." He growled.

"I love you."

His tone went deep in demand "Again."

"I love you."

He rested his forehead on mine as his voice became hoarser "Again."

"I love you." I raised my voice in assurance "I love you so much that our story is my favourite story."

"You are my favourite everything, Medusa." He told me.

Then a buzzing noise from his phone went off. The pocket of his jeans lit up and showed that someone was trying to call him.

l caught a quick glimpse of the time displayed. It just after nine o'clock. I could not be sure though because Stone hurled the phone across the room, and it hit the wall before he attacked my lips once again.

He eventually let me down. He placed me on the floor so that my back was towards him. He peppered my neck with kisses and bit on the skin as I threw my head back to give him better access.

"You are mine." He gnarled.

My right arm reached out and I grabbed the back of his head as I asked, "Are you mine?"

His large hand cupped my chin and turned my head to the side so I could see him.

He answered in his gravelly voice "I always have been."

A jolt of what felt like electricity sent a shiver down my spine at his touch.

"Valentine?" I quietly let out.

A kiss was left at the side of my mouth in reply.

I turned around and faced him as I uttered "I need you."

"I need you too, Drizella."

I repeated my words to make them explicit "I need you."

"I need you." He rasped out as a growl escaped his throat.

He needed me and I needed him. We needed each other. Desperately.

A ripping noise was heard.

Rest in peace my slipknot shirt. It would be severely missed. It was a good thing I had three more of the same kind.

I was too caught up in him to care that he was demolishing a fraction of my wardrobe as he continued to greedily take off my clothes.

My ripped clothes fell to the floor like a discarded mess. He was in a haste as he undressed me but then he slowed down. He seemed to be savouring the moment.

He kissed me again as I was left with only my underwear covering my body. Then that was gone too.

Stone pulled back to see me.

I had never felt so seen. Being bare to him brought a blush to my cheeks and I crossed my arms over and started to rub at my skin.

"Do not do that." He tried to soften his rough voice as he spoke "Let me see you."
