A gentle warmth filled Adrian's eyes.
"I love you more," he replied softly. "You're everything I could ever want. You make my life feel complete."
Matteo's smile widened.
"Me too, baby."
Without looking away from him, Matteo lowered his head and pressed a tender kiss to the side of Adrian's neck, lingering there for a moment before burying his face in the crook of his neck.
The bedroom was completely silent, the low, steady hum of the air conditioner fading into the background as golden morning light filtered through the windows, casting a warm glow across the tangled sheets.
Matteo inhaled deeply, murmuring against Adrian's skin, "God, you smell so good."
Adrian let out a soft huff, a small chuckle vibrating in his chest. "I haven't even showered yet."
