I laid in bed with Apollo, trying to fall asleep, but it was impossible. The last few hours were on constant replay in my head. My skin still tingled at the thought of his hands wrapped around me.

I looked up and tried to figure out if Apollo was asleep or not. His breathing was erratic, and his eyelids were fluttering.

"Apollo, I can't sleep, are you awake?"

Apollo quickly opened his eyes and turned to face me.

"I don't think I'll ever be able to fall asleep again if you keep spending the night in my room."

"Do you want to go get a drink?" I asked.

"Yes, please." Apollo said, throwing the covers off of the both of us.

At the foot of the bed Apollo tossed me his shirt and slipped on his boxers. He turned on the lights near his door, to avoid me tripping over our clothes and shoes from the night before. It still hadn't sunk in yet. Don't get me wrong I remember all of it, but none of it felt real.

Apollo slowly walked down to the kitchen pulling out the whiskey and the vodka from the top shelf. I found the glasses and met him in the living room.

Apollo poured our drinks, as we sat in silence. I tapped my nails against my glass and tried to focus on anything in the room that wasn't a shirtless Apollo. He didn't have as many tattoos as I imagined he would. His back had the angel of death holding a rosary, and his biceps were covered in a few, small Cosa Nostra tattoos. Other than that, there was more bare skin than inked skin. I thought maybe the reason I never saw him shirtless was because of the tattoos he hid, but now I know it was because of the scars on his chest and back.

Apollo had caught me staring, again. I let out a laugh, that was quiet at first, but grew louder with each breath. Pretty soon my stomach was cramping from the laughter, and I had to set my drink down.

"What's wrong?" Apollo asked, concern in his eyes.

"I can't believe we just did that." I laughed. "You- you were- and I was... oh my god, I can't believe I just slept with Apollo Costa. Half of Italy will be coming for my head when they find out I stole their bachelor from them."

A boyish grin formed on Apollo's face, "Well you better start believing it babe, because it won't be the last. And besides, to the outside world we're getting married. All the women in Italy have been cursing you since our engagement party."

"You're right, at least now I’m deserving of the nasty stares I’ve been getting.”

"We better make it worth our while then." He teased me. "We have a lot of time to make up for."

I slapped his chest, and rolled my eyes.

"What makes you think I want you to fuck me again?"

Apollo's smile faded, and his eyes lost their shine. He dropped his glass on the table, and inched closer to me.
