Chapter Seventy Nine


    Third Person POV.


    As Amber and Richard stepped into his long–forgotten apartment, Richard was taken aback by the


    level of cleanliness that greeted him. Not a speck of dust could be seen, and everything seemed to


    have its ce.


    It was as if the ce had been lovingly maintained and cleaned regrly during his six–year


    absence, and that surprised him mostly because he didn’t remember putting anyone in charge of the

    ce.


    Amber, her eyes filled with excitement, followed closely behind Richard. She was impressed with the


    interior of the apartment, and she took in the simplicity and homeliness of the space, a stark


    contrast from the extravagant properties she had grown ustomed to with Richard. It exuded warmt!


    and coziness that made her feel instantly at ease.


    “Wow, Richard, this ce is beautiful!” Amber eximed. “I love how simple and cozy it is. It’s


    perfect.”


    Richard’s lips curled into a relieved smile. He had feared that his modest apartment would pale in


    replied sincerely. “I was worried you might find it underwhelming.”


    “No way. Richard. This is exactly my style. I love the unexpectedness of it all. It feels like a real


    home, not just a ce that screams billionaire.””


    Richard let out a light chuckle. “That’s exactly what I was going for,” he admitted. “My other ces


    are a little too extravagant and expensive–looking, but this one… it feels different. It feels like me. It


    feels like a ce I can truly call home. It’s too bad it’s in the wrong country.”


    Amber was surprised to hear him mention that the ce he believed genuinely felt like home was


    located in the wrong country, and she wondered why he harbored so much dislike for Italy.


    Taking a step back, Richard nced around the apartment, his gaze lingering on the hallway closet.


    “So, what would you like to do first, Amber? We can explore the neighborhood or stay in and rx.


    The choice is yours.”

    Amber paused for a moment. “I think I’d like to take a nice, refreshing shower first. It’s been a


    long journey, and I just want to freshen up.”

    He nodded. “Of course, Amber. You can use the bathroom in the second bedroom down the hall. Mak


    yourself at home.”


    Amber’s smile faltered slightly as she remembered the shopping ns they had discussed. “Um,


    Richard? Just so you remember, I don’t have any clothes with me for after the shower. Not to throw


    me, but you’ll have to take responsibility since you asked me to pack light


    Richard chuckled before responding. “Wait here. I’ll get you somethingfortable you can wear,” he


    instructed.


    After a few minutes, he returned with a ck oversized T–shirt and gray joggers in hand, and she


    eagerly awaited his arrival. She knew that these clothes were from his wardrobe, and she couldn’t help


    but feel a sense of intimacy and closeness as he offered them to her.


    “These should do for now,” Richard said. “I’m not sure if the joggers will fit you, but give them a


    try. The shirt however, is pretty big.”


    Amber nced at the joggers but didn’t bother trying them on. She was more interested in the


    oversized shirt that Richard had mentioned. “Actually, Richard, I think I’ll just try the shirt. How


    long is it? Will it cover me if I decide to wear it alone?”


    Richard’s eyes widened slightly at her question. He hadn’t expected her to consider wearing just the


    shirt. His mind raced, unsure of how to respond. “Um, yeah, it’s pretty long. It should cover you if


    you wear it alone,” he managed to say, trying to sound nonchnt.


    Amber smiled slyly before heading towards the second bedroom Richard had shown her.


    After what felt like an eternity, Amber finished her shower and dried herself off. She stood in front of the


    mirror, mentally preparing herself for whatever reaction she’d get Slipping on the oversized


    T–shirt, she marveled at how it swallowed her and almost made her seem like she was petite, and how


    it was barely covering her.


    Amber took a deep breath, feeling a surge of confidence as she walked out of the bedroom. Each step


    though subtle, felt electric with anticipation. She couldn’t wait to see his reaction and gauge his


    desire and admiration in his eyes.

    As Amber entered the living room, her heart leaped at the sight of Richard standing by the windows,


    his gaze fixated on the outside. She noticed that he also changed intofortable clothes, and


    seeing him in a sleeveless shirt that showed off his tattoos made Amber’s heart skip a beat.


    The man was absolutely delicious to look at, and she shamelessly stared at him without any iota of


    embarrassment.


    Sensing her presence, he turned, his eyes widening as theynded on her. It took him a moment to


    find his voice.


    “Amber,” Richard breathed. “You…I’m d it fits,” he stuttered, trying to filter his words.


    Amber’s confidence soared as she sauntered towards him, the oversized shirt swaying with each step.


    She could see the hunger in Richard’s eyes–a primal desire that matched her own. She stopped just


    short of him, her voice dripping with yfulness.


    “What do you think?” she asked as she swayed sideways, causing her breasts to bounce underneath


    th slightly transparent fabric.


    Richard’s throat went dry as he struggled to find words. His desire for Amber burned within him, and he


    didn’t think he had what it took to hide how badly he wanted her. “You’re killing me right now,


    Amber,” he replied.


    Amber opened her mouth to speak, ready to assert once again that the ball was in Richard’s court.


    “And so are you, Romero,” she managed to breathe out “You can…”


    She was about to say something else, but before she couldplete her sentence, the world around


    her seemed to fade away. In an instant, Richard closed the gap between them and crashed his lips on


    hers


    with a fiery hunger.


    Lost in the passion of the moment, all thoughts of hesitation and uncertainty drifted away. Amber’s


    hands found their way to Richard’s shoulders, pulling him closer as she responded to the intensity of


    his kiss. Their lips moved against each other with a desperate yearning, and their tongues fought for


    dominance as they kissed each other like it was the only thing that mattered.


    After what felt like an eternity of entangled lips and racing pulses, Richard finally pulled away. With one


    final disy of self–control, he looked into Amber’s eyes and asked, his voice whispering with urgency,


    “Are you sure, Amber? Are you certain you want this?”
