His retaliation torabs h my bra and twists hard

Ignoring the pain, I buck ht to pull my hands free The bones in htens his hold When he dips his head and bites ive up, I lift rab a hold of his ear with my teeth I bite down as hard as I can, and blood fills my mouth I yank hard and part of his ear co at the taste of blood

“Motherfucker,” he screaled ear

I roll several tiers graze e I roll toin me My foot hits his chest and he flies backward Unfortunately, reat, and I launch off the other side My head explodes in pain when my temple clips the corner of the bedside table

Darkness descends, but it doesn’t last long Visions, one after the other, assail me

Walking into the tattoo shop and seeing Luca for the first time The instant attraction I felt for him

Hime the most passionate kiss of my life

Our first conversation on the phone that saiddy that I timed it

Our first date

Our second, third, and fourth kisses, and every one that came afterward

The strong connection I felt toward him

The moment I knew I loved him

The first time I said it and the beautiful way he repeated it

The night we made love for the first time

Standing in front of the judge at the courthouse The pure happiness and the feeling of rightness when he announced us husband and wife
