"What is this?" Emily asked, a deep furrow in her brow.

Matteo turned to face her, a soft smile on his lips. "Chere," he whispered, gently beckoning her toward the

sweet surprise he had arranged.

Emily hesitated, nervously chewing her bottom lip before slowly walking toward him.

"How's it?" he asked, gesturing around the balcony.

"It's... beautiful," Emily answered sincerely, her voice soft. "But why did you go through all this trouble?"

"I wanted to make this dinner something special, since our last dinner date was cut short," he said, biting the

inside of his cheek, the memory of that night still embarrassing him. "That's fine," Emily waved her hand

dismissively. "I've forgotten all about that."

Matteo's smile faltered, a flicker of hurt passing through him. She had forgotten the night he had arranged a

perfect date for them, a night that could have been magical if Lia hadn't ruined it.

Shrugging off those lingering thoughts, Matteo took the sandwiches from Emily's hands and placed them beside

the plates. He lowered himself onto one of the soft cushions and patted the one next to him, motioning for Emily

to join him. "Con, sit here," he urged with a soft smile.

Emily hesitated for a moment, her mind racing as she weighed her options. She wasn't sure if sitting so close to

him was a good idea, especially with the cozy setting he'd prepared, but her feet moved before her mind could

protest further. Reluctantly, she settled down beside him, her heart pounding a little faster as she felt the

warmth radiating from the charming playboy attorney sitting so close to her.

"Con, let's sit and eat before something happens," he sighed, the last part of his sentence trailing off.

"Huh?" Emily blinked at him in confusion.

"I mean... every twe meet, something happens to ruin our ttogether. Remember?" he said, and Emily

realized he was right.

Every tthey met, something or someone cto disrupt everything, leaving them parting ways bitterly.

Matteo opened the wine bottle and poured it into two glasses. He handed one to Emily, but she shook her head.

"No, please, | won't drink," she said politely.

"Why? | thought you forgave me," Matteo asked, cocking his head slightly, curiosity in his eyes.

"Yeah, and that's not the reason, Emily shrugged, feeling a bit awkward with the confession. "I just can't handle

my drink. Every t| do, | end up getting myself into trouble..."

"And | had to csave you," Matteo finished her sentence with a knowing smile. "But don't worry as I'm

already here," he added with a wink, making Emily bite her lip to keep from giggling.

"Are you trying to take advantage ofafter gettingdrunk, Mr. Vinci?" she teased, narrowing her eyes and

her tone was playful as she plucked the wine glass from his hand. Matteo raised his own glass, lightly clinking it

against hers. "And what if | meant to do just that?" he replied, his voice low, daring, as his eyes sparkled with

mischief. Emily paused, staring into his eyes for a heartbeat before offering her innocent smile. "I'd like to see

you try something naughty."

Matteo's heart skipped a beat at her challenge. Was she daring him, or was it an invitation?

Fuck! He had never been so bad at reading between the lines, and now this mysterious woman had him wrapped

in her spell so tightly that his mind couldn't function on its own.

"By the way." Matteo quickly shifted the conversation, trying to mask his sudden awkwardness. "I heard from

Alessandro that Aria isn't feeling well. If you want to visit her, | can take you there." He offered her a sandwich,

hoping the new topic would ease the atmosphere. Emily took the sandwich, glancing at him as she started

eating and sipping her wine. "Yeah, | was thinking about going to Florence, "Emily shrugged, chewing on her

sandwich before taking a large swig of wine. "But Mia toldto stay in Paris and manage the business here."

Her words slurred slightly as the alcohol began to loosen her tongue. "By the way, why did you call her Aria?

She's Mia," she added, her tone confused.

Matteo chuckled softly, recognizing that the wine was doing most of the talking now. "I am used to calling her

Aria and it's a long story," he began, diving into the history of his relationship with Alessandro and how Mia had

once been known as Aria. Their conversation flowed naturally from there, meandering through topics from their

pasts to their lives now. Before they knew it, the bottle of wine was empty, the sandwiches were gone, yet their

conversation showed no signs of stopping.

Emily instinctively rested her head on Matteo's chest, her gentle breath warming his skin through the fabric of

his shirt. His heart raced, and he fought to control the growing desire within him.

Trying to keep his composure, Matteo asked, "You didn't reply," but his voice cout rough, betraying his need.
