Jane's p o v.

I hold my breath as his fingers spread over my small waist and he pulls me to himself until I feel my thighs pressing against the bulging under his pants.

My hand comes to rest on his chest in order to push him away but his grip is tight and stronger.

I feel the sweat spreading over my skin as my body shivers.

I am too scared to move again as his nose brushes my cheek before his lips graze mine gently.

When his lips separate from mine, I feel his breathing over my lips and nose.

" I missed you, my darling Lucia... " He bites my chin and I hold myself from crying. " I have missed you so fucking much! " His head is now bent under my chin and I am forced to throw my head backwards as he runs kisses over my neck.

" Wait... " I plead but I almost can't hear myself.

I am so glued to him that the heat becomes intensified in my body as I feel his chest on mine. My throat becomes dry and I have to leave my lips hanging to gasp for air.

" ...please. " I plead while I struggle for words.

" Shhh... " He hisses and his hand leaves my waist and travels up my side and I feel his large hand snatch my breast.

I can't contain the panic in me anymore as I begin to wail in terror. I force myself away from him but I am barely out of his grip when he holds me back.

I was beginning to spin in a fit of intense trepidation.

This couldn't be happening to me. I couldn't hold back the shiver anymore.

He holds me back to himself and as I catch the frown on his face, my sight begins to go blurry while at the same time I struggle to breath.

My head begins to throb and I start feeling dizzy like I was falling.

He finally releases me and I am relieved but I can't help the numbness in my feet. I can't feel my entire body but I know that I'm struggling to breath while falling.

His hands stretch forwards and he takes me back into his arms before everywhere goes pitch black.

I was more than relieved when I returned back to consciousness lying on top of the softness of my bed. The terrible nightmare was over at last. I was free.

It was a very strange dream that I woke up with tears dried over my cheeks.

I opened my eyes to see the brown fluffy bed cloth that was covering my hand along with the entire bed.

I was lying chest down so I had to have my head slightly raised to see my bare arm. I caught a blurry glimpse of the spaghetti strap of the red dress I had on fallen over the shoulder.

The red dress was instantly alarming and I tried to rise fully.

" Rise and shine. " I hear a bold voice and I spring up instantly to sit on my butt.

No! There was no way that this was truly happening to me. I couldn't actually be here for real. How was I still here?

Having my back to the large pillows lined against the bed board, I watched him standing away from me near his wardrobe.

He was shirtless on a pair of royal blue joggers that bore two lines from the waist down the sides.

My heart begins to beat very fast again as I watch him in awe. I realize how very tall he actually was as his head is near the ceiling.

He had a very muscular body sitting on long legs. His fingers are long as it spread over his packs, the pinkish tip of his fingers scratching his healthy looking skin.

He turns over and grabs a white shirt from the cloth hook. As his side is turned to me, his curly hair falls over his eyes and as he throws his arm into the sleeve, I pull the blanket up to cover my bare thighs.

I had woken up to find my dress yanked up my thighs barely below my waist.

What did he do to me? The thought that he might have raped me in my unconsciousness sent a new wave of fright coursing through my veins.

I raise my fully covered thighs till my knees are at the same level as my chest.

I would have felt something if he did.

Like some kind of pain in-between my legs or a strange moist feeling.

Perhaps I was too weak to feel anything yet.

" You don't have anything to worry about. " I look up at him to see that he is slowly buttoning up his shirt.

He is walking towards me and I just hold my leg against my chest. I guess from the way I looked, he knew what was going on in my mind.

" You slept like a baby all through the night and I wouldn't dare to interrupt such peace. "

" Where am I? "

" The Enricho's villa. " He leaves his shirt unbuttoned at the chest as he nears me. " I'm sorry if I frightened you do much to send you fainting last night. " He sits on the bed beside me with his legs on the ground and I leaned away from him. " I had missed your touch so much that I lost control of myself. "

" You're not listening to me. I am not Lucia! "

" It pains me to admit that you're not her. But you look so much like her. Your nose. Your eyes... " His fingers touch my cheek. " your lips...

When my Lucia died I thought I would never see her again. It almost drove me crazy because it was all my fault. I didn't cherish her when she was with me. But each time I watched you stroll across that street every day... I knew my Lucia hadn't died. You are here. "

" No. You can't just force me to stay with you because I look like your dead girlfriend. "

" Fiancée. " He corrects me in a hush. " She wanted to marry so badly but I never had the time. Which is why... " His eyes are glued to mine and I can't help but stare back. " we're getting married in a few days. “
