Barely hopeful.
But at this moment, I chose to believe him. Instead of the statistics. I chose to believe my lumberjack. Because if anyone could beat a statistic—it would be Carlo Sovrano.
“Giselle, I missed you so fuckin’ much. Thank you for coming back to me.” His voice was so full of raw emotion that it killed.
But at the same time, it also healed.
“I tried so hard—”I said, but then stopped.
This was not the time to get into what I’d been through.
No.
This was the time for our reunion.
And after—everything—I deserved this.
I deserved Carlo.
I deserved Marcello and Dani.
I deserved our family. I’d fought tooth and nail to get here. And now I was ready to collect.
“I love you, Carlo. And I want you to make love to me. Please.”
He sighed so loudly, I worried that he might wake the baby. Luckily, Marcello seemed to be completely out.
Carlo kissed me softly.
Gently.
While he so, so slowly pushed his way inside of me.
And even though it hurt—and even though he was far too much for me to take—I let him in.
Because he was mine.
And I was his.
“Carlo,” I whispered into his ear while he began moving in and out of me.
It felt like razor blades were cutting me with each and every shift. But I held onto his back and waited for the pain to end.
And it would end.
I knew it.
“You okay?” he asked after a few minutes. He hadn’t worked enough to cause the thin sheen of sweat that coated his skin. But I figured he must be scared of hurting me.
“Yeah, I’m okay,” I told him through gritted teeth as I clutched to him.
“Do you want me to stop?” he asked, and it was then I knew for sure how worried he was for me. Carlo was balls deep inside of me, but he’d stop if I wanted him to.
I shook my head and gave him a weak smile. “No, honey. I have to get past this. I think we both knew the first time after—” I took a deep breath, “wouldn’t be a cakewalk. I just need a few minutes to get used to you again.”
I saw the strain on his face, and it made my stomach hurt. I didn’t want Carlo to feel like he was hurting me. Even though he was.
“Hey.” I placed my hands on either side of his face. “We’ll get through this. My vagina will work again.”
