CHAPTER 91: IRRESISTIBLE DESIRE

Fast forward.....

"Hey, Rome... ahh, wait... someone might see us.."

Sylvia whispered nervously while trying to control the trembling in her voice.

However, Rome didn’t seem to hear her. He was completely lost in the stolen moments they were sharing inside one of the cubicles in the women’s restroom at their school.

Sylvia’s clothes were still on but lifted just enough that Rome couldn’t resist letting his hands roam over her.

"R-Rome, wait... ahh"

Sylvia gasped, her breath catching as each brush of his lips against her skin sent tremors through her body.

Even as she tried to steady herself, she couldn’t stop the fluttering of her heartbeat.

"R-Rome, someone might see us here... please stop..." she stammered. However, her body betrayed her words. Her body instinctively responded to his touch.

Rome didn’t stop. Instead, he just smiled mischievously while continuing to kiss her.

Minutes slipped by, and she found herself completely powerless to resist as Rome’s lips traveled from her neck down across her shoulders and chest, exploring every inch with a hunger that seemed impossible to satisfy.

His kisses grew bolder, more insistent, mapping the curves of her body.

Before she could even realize it, her uniform lay discarded, yet Rome continued, wild and untamed, his desire devouring her completely.

The intensity of his kisses left Sylvia breathless while trembling under the overwhelming sensation of being completely claimed by him.

Fortunately, no one else entered the restroom, which only made Rome’s mischievous grin grow wider.

"What’s so funny?"

Sylvia asked, frowning while clutching a thick book and holding a pen in her hand. By now, they were inside the library, and Rome’s grin hadn’t faded from his lips since earlier.

"Nothing. I just can’t help it. You’re so cute that I just want to kiss you again so badly." Rome said in a low, teasing voice, his eyes glinting with affection and desire.

Instead of blushing, Sylvia frowned and smacked his hand away as he tried to explore beneath her uniform again.

"There you go again. We just finished, and you still want more? You’re going too far with your teasing... ahh."

But a moan still escaped Sylvia’s lips as Rome’s hand brushed her leg from underneath the table.

"Pfftt—"

"Tsk. You’re being annoying again. Seriously, Rome?"

Rome, however, couldn’t help but widen his grin.

It had already been half a year since he and Sylvia officially became a couple, and he couldn’t help but marvel at how quickly their relationship had grown. They had explored nearly every intimate moment a couple could share.

The only thing left now was to wait for Sylvia to finish college, still two more years before he could marry her.

It might seem fast, but given how deeply they felt for each other, the only missing piece in their relationship was that final step of commitment.

Even now, thinking back to the very first day Sylvia had confessed to him and they shared that passionate kiss in his car, Rome could hardly believe it. The sweet, stunning, and captivating Sylvia, whom he had just once admired from afar, was now truly his.

"Love, where do you want to go for our date?" Rome asked sweetly while gazing at her intently.

Between him and Sylvia, he was the clingier one in their relationship, and he didn’t mind it one bit. He wanted to show Sylvia just how much he loved her every day.

"Here you go again. You always want to go on dates, but you just end up dragging me back to your condo and locking me in your room all day."

Sylvia frowned again before swatting his hand away from her leg again.

"But I want you so badly, I can’t help but—"

"Shh... why are you even saying that here? Be quiet!" she cut him off, glancing around nervously, worried someone might overhear them.

"We’re at the library, so control your mouth and your hands. We’re in a public place, so behave." she warned, which only made Rome chuckle.

He took Sylvia’s hand instead and began toying with it. Despite working as a waitress at night, Sylvia’s hands were still soft and delicate, as if they were not used to hardship.

Sylvia was always the hardworking woman he couldn’t help but fall in love with over and over again.

"Love... Mom and my brother are going home tomorrow. I was hoping I could introduce you to them."

Sylvia stopped writing and turned to face him, a change in her expression evident as she set down her pen.

"Y-you think they will like me?"

Rome paused, noticing the fear in her voice. He took both of her hands and kissed them gently.

"Of course. You’re my love, and my family will surely love you, just like I do. So don’t worry. I’ll take care of you. And if, for some reason, they don’t like you, you don’t have to worry about it either. Just tell me, and I’ll handle everything."

Rome noticed a small smile tug at Sylvia’s lips, though behind it lingered a shadow of doubt he didn’t notice.

**********

"H-Hey, Rome... what are you still doing? Ahh... we’re about to meet your f-family.."

Sylvia scolded before lightly pushing him away.

Rome paused for a moment, having just left a deep kiss on her neck. Instead of finally stopping, his lips moved briefly to hers before he finally pulled back.

The slight flush and dazed look on his face betrayed how intoxicated he still felt from kissing Sylvia.

They were already at the gate of his family’s mansion, yet he couldn’t resist kissing her.

Kissing Sylvia had become a daily obsession he simply couldn’t control.

"Yes, my love... you’re so beautiful that I can’t help it." he murmured.

Sylvia’s cheeks turned a rosy shade, and as always, Rome managed to make her heart skip a beat with the words she loved hearing most.

"Shall we, my lady?" he asked, opening the car door and offering his hand.

Sylvia smiled warmly and took it without hesitation.

Rome could feel the nervousness in Sylvia’s trembling hand and the tension on her face.

"Are you okay, my love?"

She nodded, but he could still feel the slight trembling of her hand.

"Don’t worry, I’m here, remember? I will never leave your side. So ease up a bit and just be yourself."

The tension on Sylvia’s face softened slightly. He then tightened his hold around her small waist to make his family see that she belonged with him.

He couldn’t help but glance at her neck again, where his kiss mark was still visible.

He couldn’t help but smile at seeing his mark on her pretty, long neck.

Sylvia caught his gaze. "What? Do I have something on my face?"

"Nope," he replied, his eyes still lingering on her. "You’re just so beautiful that I want to kiss you again."

Sylvia let out a soft laugh, and together they slowly stepped into the mansion, where his family was already waiting.

As soon as they entered, they were immediately greeted by the maids, neatly lined up along the hallway, with his mom and brother waiting at the end. His dad was still abroad and rarely came home, so he wasn’t present at their family dinner.

His mom’s face instantly lit up with a wide smile as she rushed to embrace him.

"My son! This mother has missed you so much. You didn’t call me for months! I was starting to sulk, thinking you might have forgotten me!" she exclaimed, without even glancing at Sylvia.

Perhaps his mom hadn’t noticed her yet.

"Mom, that’s not true. I’ve missed you too, and I came here with my girl—"

"If you truly missed me, then why haven’t you visited me abroad?" she interrupted him before he could finish, turning her back to Sylvia.

"Mom, that’s not it. I’ve just been really busy these days that I didn’t have the time to visit." he explained, glancing at Sylvia to make sure she was still okay.

She looked back at him and smiled reassuringly. Fortunately, he had a very understanding girlfriend.

His mom, however, seemed fixated on just him.

Rome couldn’t help but feel sorry that her mom still hadn’t noticed Sylvia’s presence.

"Mom, I came with my girlf—"

"How come Greece can visit me abroad, but you can’t? You know, I’m starting to think you’ve already replaced me in your life. I even heard you found a girlfriend. Did you come with her? Where is she?"

Rome finally exhaled, relieved that his mom was finally asking him about Sylvia.

"Actually, Mom, I came with—"

"Oh! Who are you?"

Rome’s explanation was cut off again as his mom’s gaze swept from head to toe over Sylvia, who shyly lowered her eyes.

"It’s... nice to meet you, ma’am. I’m Sylvia Lin—"

"Oh, are you the one Jessica told me is going to apply as a new maid?"

Both Rome and Sylvia froze. Rome couldn’t believe what his mom had just said. He quickly stepped forward and took Sylvia’s hand.

"Mom! She’s not applying to be our maid. How can you say that about my girlfriend?!"
