Chapter 1
Lily took a deep breath as she waited in line to enter the concert of her favorite band. She had been waiting for days to see her idol, Samuel Brown, the charismatic lead singer of the band. Her friend Emily held the tickets eagerly at the entrance, her eyes shining with excitement.
Lily's heart beat rapidly with anticipation as the line slowly moved forward. She imagined what it would be like to see Samuel on stage, singing the songs that marked important moments in her life. Ever since she bought the tickets, she could hardly contain her excitement for the long-awaited moment.
As she watched the stage lights blinking in the distance and heard the excited murmurs of the surrounding crowd, Lily felt a mix of emotions-happiness, excitement, and a touch of nervousness. She knew that this night would be unforgettable and was determined to enjoy every second with her favorite band and her faithful friend Emily.
"Come on, it's our turn," Emily pulled her hand towards the entrance.
The venue was packed, buzzing with energy from thousands of fans. In addition to Lily's favorite band, other renowned bands were also attending the music festival, making it a real paradise for pop-rock lovers.
Emily led Lily through the crowd, getting them as close to the stage as possible, where a rock band was rocking out with their captivating sound. As the guitars wailed and the drums beat frantically, Emily and Lily joined in the contagious vibe of the crowd, losing themselves in the music that reverberated in their hearts. During the break between performances, they decided to wander around the festival grounds.
"Friend, can you stay here and get something for us to eat while I go to the restroom?" Emily asked.
"Of course, go ahead. I'll wait for you here by the food stand," Lily pointed to a spot next to the food tent.
As she approached the food stand, she noticed a commotion forming there. Curious and determined, she squeezed through the people, following her instinct until she got closer. Upon careful observation amidst the crowd, she spotted Samuel, the charismatic lead singer of the band. Her heart skipped a beat when she recognized him; he was even more charming in person than in the videos she repeatedly watched. With a nervous smile, she approached the area where Samuel was signing autographs for the lucky fans who were close enough to have a moment with him.
Seeing Samuel so close, so real, made Lily feel a mix of emotions. Her heart pounded in her chest, and her hands trembled slightly with excitement. She could hardly believe she was so close to him.
With her eyes shining with excitement, Lily approached even closer, determined to make the most of this unique moment. She knew this was a rare opportunity and was determined to make it an unforgettable memory.
She opened her purse and took out a poster with Samuel's photo; this would be her chance to get an autograph. Holding the poster firmly in her hand, she pushed through some people to get closer to Samuel and was almost thrown onto him by the commotion.
"Excuse me," she said, her voice trembling slightly and feeling her cheeks blush as she was supported by Samuel, who held her in his arms.
"Careful! Such a lovely young lady shouldn't get hurt!" a smile spread across Samuel's face.
Lily felt her heart almost stop. "I just wanted to say I'm your fan, your show is amazing, c… Could you give me an autograph?" With trembling hands, Lily handed the photo to Samuel.
Samuel took the photo with a huge smile on his face. "Of course, what's your name?" he asked.
"Lily, Lily Thompson."
He wrote, adding a heart next to the signature. "To Lily with all my love."
Samuel handed the photo back to Lily after scribbling something on the back. Lily could barely believe what was happening to her, with a huge smile on her face, she felt her heart beat so hard it seemed like she could even hear it. After stepping away and seeing Samuel disappear among the show's security guards, she checked the autograph and to her surprise, there was something else there, there was a phone number written on the back of the photo.
Lily's heart skipped a beat, she could hardly believe the luck she was having, carefully stored the photo in her bag and decided not to mention the matter to her friend. Much of the night passed in a blur of music, laughter, and constant excitement, after Samuel's band performance, Lily decided to leave as well, Emily, on the other hand, decided to stay since the show would only end in the morning.
As soon as Lily reached the sidewalk, she decided it was time to call Samuel, the night was just beginning, and she would make the most of it. Taking her phone out of her bag, she dialed the number he had written on the back of the autographed photo, her fingers were trembling slightly with anticipation.
The phone rang a few times before being answered and Lily held her breath nervously, finally, a familiar voice answered from the other end of the line. "Hello?"
Lily didn't know what to do, a shiver ran down her spine upon hearing Samuel's husky and attractive voice. The silence persisted for a few seconds until she decided to speak. "Hi, Samuel, it's me, Lily," she said, trying to keep calm.
There was a brief pause on the other end of the line before Samuel responded, his voice sounding quite excited. "Lily, great to hear your voice, I thought you wouldn't call me."
Lily smiled, feeling excited. "I just wanted to thank you for the autograph and… and tell you that I loved meeting you."
Samuel laughed on the other end of the line. "I'm really glad you liked the autograph, but I wanted to know if you'd like to go out with me sometime?"
The invitation caught Lily by surprise, she didn't imagine that Samuel would invite her out like this all of a sudden, her heart raced. "Yes, I would love to."
"How about now, I'm free tonight, we can meet up, have some drinks, and see what the night has in store for us."
Lily quickly accepted, she wouldn't miss this opportunity for anything. Arriving at the agreed location, the relaxed and lively atmosphere enveloped the two, creating a conducive environment for laughter and engaging conversations, between toasts and laughter, Lily felt increasingly connected to Samuel. After a few drinks, the chemistry between them was growing, and then Samuel suggested they go somewhere more private.
Lily followed Samuel to a friend's apartment. As they arrived at the apartment, desire seemed to grow even stronger. Lily felt a shiver run down her spine when Samuel's gaze met hers, a burning spark of desire seemed to ignite between them.
Without thinking, Lily slowly approached Samuel as he took off his shirt, exposing his chest. Lily's hand slid over his skin, exploring every defined muscle. Their lips met, and they began with a voracious kiss. Samuel's hands roamed all over Lily's body, skillfully removing each piece of clothing from her body.
Amidst the kisses, Samuel's fingers dug into Lily's waist, drawing her closer to him. With a slight push, Samuel brought Lily onto his lap, and she crossed her legs around his waist. While Samuel explored every corner of her neck, sending delicious shivers down Lily's skin.
Samuel gently led Lily to the bed, every touch was a delicious torture, with uncontrollable desire. Samuel's hands explored every contour of Lily's body, while his lips continued to trace a path of passionate kisses over her breasts. Lily slid her hands over Samuel's firm chest muscles, feeling the warmth of his skin under her fingers.
Samuel's and Lily's eyes met in a knowing glance, and they didn't need words to communicate the depth of desire they felt for each other, as their bodies moved in perfect harmony, leading them to a peak of passion that was almost unbearable.
Every touch, every kiss, every shared moan was an explosion of passion that brought them to the brink, towards the peak of ecstasy, where they completely surrendered to the storm of emotions that enveloped them.
After the night of intense passion, Lily lay beside Samuel, watching his serene face as exhaustion gradually took over her body. Memories of every shared moment danced in her mind.
As reality began to penetrate Lily's consciousness and the effects of alcohol slowly faded away, she felt a wave of shame and discomfort sweep over her being. The glow of the moment of passion was replaced by an uncomfortable feeling of regret, making her wish to escape the embarrassing situation.
With quick and discreet movements, Lily dressed and slipped out of bed, avoiding looking back as she left the apartment. The shame and fear of being confronted in the morning were like dark shadows that pushed her away.
As the door closed behind her, she knew that that night would be a bittersweet memory in her mind, a little dream of hers that came true.

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display.

He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
