My Beloved Boss (The Short Story)

19

Matteo Rossi:

When I woke up, I was spooning Kyra, and that was, without a doubt, the best feeling in the world. The warmth of her body next to mine was comforting, and the moment I gently kissed her shoulder and inhaled her sweet perfume on her neck, she cuddled even more into me.

— Good morning — I murmured.

— Good morning — she replied, turning towards me and sealing our lips in a heartfelt kiss. There, in the gentle touch of our lips, I found an indescribable happiness.

We stared into each other's eyes, and while admiration took over me, I couldn't resist and gave a tender kiss on the tip of her nose. Her laugh sounded like music to my ears, an intense giggle that brightened my day even more.

— Shall we take a shower? — I proposed. — Today, I need to go to the agency a little earlier.

She pouted irresistibly, making me smile.

— Let's go! — she replied, and before she could protest, I picked her up in my arms, her surprised scream quickly turning into a radiant smile. I carried her to the bathroom and gently sat her on the sink while I filled the bathtub.

With enough water, I took Kyra again and sat with her on my lap on the edge of the tub. The heat and intimacy between us were palpable, and we started to kiss, engaging in a passionate moment.

As she moved, the tension between us grew, and the world around us disappeared. I felt the softness of her touch and the warmth of her body intensify. In a moment of pure connection, I let myself go, softly moaning as she explored our mutual desire. Every one of her movements was a dance that brought us closer together, making my heart race.

After some exchanges of caresses and knowing looks, I reached ecstasy, sharing that truly special moment with her. Once we finished our bath, we dried off and dressed, heading to breakfast.

As we entered the room hand in hand, we found Kyra's family already gathered.

— Good morning! — we exclaimed in unison.

— Good morning! — everyone responded warmly.

I sat at the table, and Kyra made sure to sit beside me. I placed my hand on her thigh, under the table, and we began to enjoy breakfast together.

— Matteo, when will the agency's inauguration be? — Eric asked, curiosity shining in his eyes.

— In three weeks — I replied, trying to hide the anxiety that this deadline brought me.

— Already? — Kyra asked, showing a mix of surprise and concern.

— Yes, and your photos are all ready. They turned out absolutely incredible and will be displayed on giant screens throughout the hall — I explained, feeling immense pride in our work.

— I'm nervous — she admitted.

— Don’t worry, the photos turned out perfect — I assured her, kissing her forehead. She, in response, rested her head on my shoulder, spreading a wave of tenderness through the room.

— You guys are so adorable together! — Kyra's mother commented warmly.

— True — Eric agreed, with an approving look.

— I also have a boyfriend! — Alysson interrupted with a mischievous smile.

— Who is he? — Eric asked immediately, with Pietro raising his head, also eager to know.

— I won’t tell — Alysson replied provocatively.

— I’ll find out who he is and talk to him — Eric said, clearly protective.

— Dad, stop being jealous! — Kyra defended. — She can date, just like me and Pietro.

— But she's still a baby! — he retorted, with the look of someone still seeing his sister as a child, and Pietro nodded in agreement.

While they argued, Kyra and I continued exchanging affection, immersed in the intimacy of our moment.

— This all is wonderful, but I really have to go — I said, feeling that time was passing quickly.

— Stay a little longer! — Kyra insisted, pouting adorably, almost melting my heart.

— I would love to, but I need to finish the last details at the agency. Nate must be waiting for me — I argued, and she smiled, understanding the situation.

— Okay, I’ll walk you to the car — she responded, getting up cheerfully.

— It’s been a great pleasure meeting you, Matteo. Come back anytime — Andrea, Kyra’s mother, said with a cozy smile.

— Definitely, I’ll be back — I promised.

— Don’t forget to talk to her — Eric joked.

— I will talk, father-in-law — I hugged Eric, trying to clarify our relationship lightly.

— Don’t call me that! — he exclaimed, but his smile made it clear he was joking.

After saying goodbye to Kyra’s brothers, I walked with her to my car.

— These last few weeks will be intense for me, but I’ll always find time to see you — I said, leaning in to give her a light kiss.

— If you can't, I’ll come to you! — she declared, with a determined sparkle in her eyes.

We started kissing again, savoring every moment, until we ran out of breath. After saying goodbye, I got into the car and drove off, watching her smile back at me through the rearview mirror as she headed home.

I loved her so much... and I knew our love would only grow stronger as we faced the future together.
