3. a moment of passion

Bella, as she cursed her disastrous night while leaving the restaurant, regretted once again that she had taken a taxi. Why hadn't she come with her own car? Now she would have to search for a taxi in the pouring rain. Slowly swaying, she stepped onto the street, her stomach filled with the wine she had consumed, and her head started to spin. As she took a few steps, the rain intensified.

"This is just perfect," she muttered to herself. Trying to check if there was a taxi around, she could only see her ex-boyfriend, Mattio, approaching her.

Bella cursed her bad luck, realizing that she might end up spending the night in the pouring rain. She took out her cell phone from her bag to call a taxi, but the raindrops on the screen made it difficult to use.

Helplessly trying to hail a taxi, she noticed a red Ferrari parked right next to her. The man standing in front of the car walked towards her, offering his umbrella. "Can I help you with something?" he asked.

Bella raised her head and gazed at the man in astonishment. It was the same stranger she saw at the restaurant – Leonardo. She hadn't expected to see him again that night, especially in such a situation.

"No, I..." Bella shook her head, "I'm looking for a taxi."

"It seems like you owe me an apology for leaving me alone at the restaurant," Leonardo said with a slight smile. "If you allow me, I can give you a ride home."

Bella hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Getting into a stranger's car was not always a good idea, but she trusted Leonardo. Perhaps this could be a way to salvage the night.

They walked together towards Leonardo's car. When they got into the Ferrari, Bella's heart raced. As Leonardo started the car and drove off, Bella tried to cope with this new situation. Despite the heavy rain outside, the atmosphere inside the car was completely different.

The interior of the car was filled with the scent of warmed leather and Leonardo's cologne. Soft jazz music played on the radio, creating a relaxing ambiance in the car. Leonardo smiled at Bella, "Next time, think twice before leaving me alone at the restaurant."

Bella smiled back at him, "Maybe I will." In that moment, despite the pouring rain outside, she felt like the night was getting a little better.

Outside, the rain continued to pour heavily, shaking the car in its place. Bella and Leonardo sat quite close to each other on the backseat of the Ferrari, completely isolated from the outside world. The city lights were fragmented by raindrops hitting the windows, casting a shimmering light on both figures.

Leonardo glanced at Bella. Her cheeks were wet from the raindrops. Some strands of her hair were sticking to her face. Yet, her eyes still sparkled, untouched by all that chaos. Apparently, the rain hadn't affected her mood negatively.

"Are you okay?" Leonardo asked, with a slightly worried tone.

Bella nodded and smiled gently, "Yes, just... this situation is a bit weird. Being here with you."

A smile formed on Leonardo's lips, "Is it a good kind of weird or a bad kind of weird?"

Bella paused for a moment, then turned to Leonardo and looked into his eyes, "A good kind of weird," she said.

Leonardo's heart skipped a beat. He moved closer to Bella and placed his hand on top of hers. The warmth created an electric energy between them. Leonardo looked into Bella's eyes again and slowly leaned towards her face.

Bella held her breath. When Leonardo's lips were inches away from hers, the electric intensity heightened. Everything seemed to freeze for a moment – the sound of the rain, the low music from the radio, even the beating of their hearts. And then, their lips met.

The kiss was soft and sweet, yet passionate and intense. Leonardo's lips explored every corner, every curve of Bella's. She surrendered herself to the kiss, cherishing every moment their lips were connected, his hands resting gently on her waist.

Eventually, the kiss came to an end, and they looked at each other again. Their eyes revealed their desire and passion for each other. Despite the rain still pouring outside, the atmosphere inside the car had completely changed.

"Seems like it won't stop raining anytime soon," Bella said, almost breathless.

Leonardo smiled and placed his hand on her cheek. "I hope it doesn't," he said. "Because being here with you... it's truly a good kind of weird."

"Who was that guy you were avoiding?" Leonardo asked suddenly.

Bella remained silent for a while. "I wasn't avoiding anyone," she replied. Leonardo looked at her teasingly. Giving him a long, warm kiss, he left her completely stunned.

"You don't say 'damn it' when you see someone," he said, his lips close to hers. "Was he your ex?"

"Unfortunately," Bella replied. Leonardo glanced at the man walking quickly in the rain. He would be next to the car in just a few minutes.

"Why don't we go? Start the car and let's leave," he suggested.

"Don't worry, he won't see you in the car. Besides, I want to see more of the woman I want to make love to," he said with a playful smile.

"You don't have to interfere," Bella protested.

"I definitely don't have to, but I don't like someone bothering the woman I want to sleep with," Leonardo replied.

Leonardo's last words left Bella wide-eyed. His unexpected interest and his assertive expression made her unsure of what to do. She found herself both amused and concerned. On the other hand, she felt safe next to Leonardo.

As the approaching man got closer, Bella reached for the door in panic, but Leonardo's hand caught hers, gently pulling her back. "I told you not to worry," he murmured, a slight smile on his lips.

Bella hesitated for a moment, then closed her eyes and leaned her head back on the car seat. This man, this man who was so invested in her... Somehow this passionate moment with him had made her forget all the worries and troubles she'd had earlier that night.

The sound of the rain outside was somewhat alleviating the tension in the car. Leonardo's heart was racing, and Bella could feel it. She was excited too. She turned her face to Leonardo and looked into his blue eyes. It felt as if there was no distance between them all of a sudden.

This strange closeness drew her even more to Leonardo. She succumbed to his irresistible charm and they continued to kiss. At that moment, it was just the two of them in the world - the rain outside, the tension in the car, and her concerns about Matteo... None of it mattered. Only this moment, this passionate moment mattered. Only Leonardo and Bella mattered.

This kiss, a fiery kiss that felt as though nothing had ever been between them, became a moment Bella could never forget. Because in that moment, it felt like nothing could ever pull them apart. This odd and passionate closeness between Leonardo and Bella brought them even closer than ever. And this moment became an unforgettable memory for them.

"Do you want to make love now?"

Desire gleamed in the man's eyes.

"Now, while it's pouring rain outside, with your ex right next to us, I want to pull you onto my lap and enter you deeply." As his hand slid into the slit of her dress and touched her bare skin, Bella shivered.

Leonardo's words and touch made Bella's heart race even faster. It had been a long time since anyone had looked at her with such desire, and it both scared and thrilled her, especially after his last words...

Leonardo's hand moved up from the slit of Bella's dress and gently traveled up her leg until it finally touched her skin. Bella took a sharp breath and closed her eyes for a moment. Even though this situation was somewhat intimidating, Leonardo's touches completely relaxed her. It even made her desire him more.

As the man's touches increased, Bella's breathing quickened. Each touch made her want him even more. Every single touch felt like an electric current spreading throughout her body, making her desire him even more.

After a moment of hesitancy, a passionate kiss started, with Bella responding just as fervently to Leonardo.
