Adriano’s POVShe stared at me wide-eyed as I popped the cookie in my mouth.“That’s hot!” she yelled. “You could’ve hurt yourself.”It was hot but I didn’t care, I closed my eyes and almost moaned as the cookie practically melted in my mouth. I imagined it was her pussy juices melting in my mouth. It wasn’t the real deal but this would do for now.“Tastes just like I remembered, little nurse,” I said reaching for another cookie.She shook her head at me. “You’re crazy.”If only she knew how crazy I could be, I’d have her running for the hills.“They’re my cookies, little nurse. I decide how I want to eat them.”“No one is disputing that fact, Adriano.”She opened a drawer, grabbed a jar, and stretched it to me.“I trust you know how to pack up the cookies you couldn’t wait to have.”“You’re in such a hurry to leave. Are you scared of what I might do, little nurse?”

Melanie’s POVSeven days.It's been seven days since Adriano upped and left in the middle of the night and I haven't heard anything since.A part of me was worried that he'd been hurt, but I figured I was just being paranoid since Alice and everybody else was acting as if nothing was amiss.I'd gotten so used to being disturbed by him that I didn't know how it would feel, to go in and out of his house when he wasn't around. At least he still slept at home, the days we would go days on end without seeing each other.I hated how fucking distracted I was thinking about him, wondering what kind of business he had that made him stay away from home for so long.Home. I shook my head at the thought. The fact that I even thought of, Adriano’s house as home was sign enough that I was getting too comfortable already.One good thing that did come out of everything was that I gained a new friend.Aria and I h

Melanie’s POV“Damn, I didn’t realize we’ve been here that long,” Aria said.“Yeah, me too. I’m sure, Ralph would be so mad at me right now,” I said."Ralph is a sweetheart and it's his job to wait on you," she replied.“Still, I’m sure he didn’t plan to stay out this late,” I countered.She shook her head at me and laughed as if I had told a joke. “You still don’t get it,” Aria said.“Is there something I’m supposed to get?”“Ralph doesn’t make plans. Your plans are his plans. I thought you would have realized that by now,” she said. “Plus, you’ve never heard him complain. He also had dinner and is currently nursing a bottle of coke.”I turned to where she was staring at and she was right. Ralph was seated at a table not too far away from us but far enough to ensure our privacy."He looks like he needs a stronger drink," I said and Aria laughed.“That might be true but he’s stil

Melanie’s POVI would never admit this to him but I felt immensely relieved seeing, Adriano without a scratch on him.In fact, his shoulders were back to being as relaxed as it was before he went on his trip.“Hey, little nurse,” he said.“What… what…”“What am I doing here?” he said, moving aside so I could come inside.“I own this house, little nurse,” he answered, even though I asked the most foolish question.“Sorry, it came out wrong but I wasn’t expecting you,” I said.“I stayed longer than I intended to so I was ready to be done with that place,” he answered.“Well, welcome back,” I said, trying to sound nonchalant.“Did you miss me, little nurse?” he asked.“And why would you think that?”“Because even though you’re trying to hide it, it’s obvious you look happy as fuck to see me,” he replied."You must be seeing things, then," I lied. Of course

Adriano’s POVI was so fucking tired by the time the jet landed and all I wanted to do was take a hot shower, eat, and sleep for as long as possible.Thankfully, I had done the first two but I had missed the fuck out of Melanie and didn’t want to go to bed without seeing her first.I knew she was with, Ari so I was prepared for her to be home late. In a way, I was glad she was getting along with my sister. I needed her to feel her comfortable with me and her new reality and had an inkling that the best way to make that happen was through, Ari.This past week had been a fucking nightmare. What with me speaking with my father and uncle daily?Though, Dad was retired and trusted me fully to run things, I still appreciated his guidance, especially with shit like this. As expected, he was on board with my decision to meet with Dante in Chicago. The Moretti family in Chicago and ours had respect for each other and we worked

Melanie’s POVIt’s official.I was out of my mind.That was the only way I could explain what the hell I just blurted out of my mouth. This wasn’t me at all. I didn’t proposition men, talk less of the ones that basically forced me to live with them.Adriano looked shocked for a brief moment before his face morphed into a pleased smile.It wasn’t his fault. I basically led him on when I knew fully well that nothing was going to happen between us.Also, I was going to kill, Aria. She somehow convinced me to share a bottle of wine with her over dinner. One look at the wine and I knew it was expensive but it tasted amazing so I happily indulged.Yep, that was it. It was the freaking wine. I was never drinking with, Aria again.“I think I like the slightly drunk, Melanie,” Adriano said.If this was how I was when slightly drunk, I’d hate to see myself when shit-faced drunk.

Melanie’s POVNot surprisingly, I woke up feeling grumpy in the morning.I had a slight headache which I took a some painkillers for but that was enough to set the tone of my day.Alice noticed something was up during breakfast but I waved her off, somehow convincing her that I was fine.The alcohol I'd consumed the previous day wasn't the only reason why I felt like this. There was a certain man who had been the object of my discomfort and I was not about to admit that to, Alice.However, I was almost done with my breakfast and still hadn’t seen or heard a peep from him all morning.“Is, Adriano not coming down for breakfast?” I asked, Alice.I figured since she was asleep by the time I got back yesterday, there's no way she knew what went down between Adriano and me. That's why I felt it was safe for me to ask her.“He left for work early,” she answered. “Said he had some important meetings.”

Melanie’s POVThe last thing I wanted today was a confrontation from, Lydia. I was so over her shit and it looked like that’s exactly what she was spoiling for.“Please excuse me,” I said, deciding to opt for the polite approach but it seemed she was spoiling for a fight.“And if I don’t?” she asked. “What are you going to do?”“I don’t know why you have an issue with me and I don’t really care,” I replied and held up the boxes in my hands. “I have to get these gloves to the nurses’ station so please step aside.”Lydia glared daggers at me and I could see the anger radiating off her. If steam could come out her ears, best believe it would."That's exactly the problem I have with you," she gritted. "You're an ass-kisser pretending to be a sweet girl."I frowned. What the hell was she on about?“Like I said, Lydia, I don’t care how you feel about me as long as you stay out of my way,” I said.

Melanie’s POVHayley was eyeing me with a smirk on her face when I got to work the next day.Unfortunately, she wasn’t the only one. I was getting multiple stares from different people as I walked in.“Girl!!! You’re like a hospital celebrity with the way people have been talking about you and your man since you both traipsed out of here yesterday,” she said.“I don’t care, they can stare all they want,” I said.Hayley regarded me with a strange expression. “That’s a first for you,” she said.“What do you mean?” I asked.“The Melanie I know would be looking bothered and trying not to look in people’s eyes because of how embarrassed she is,” Hayley explained."Well, let's just say that I'm no longer that girl," I replied.“Oh, you definitely aren’t and I’m sure I have Adriano to thank for that,” she said. “Plus, you have that freshly fucked glow about you which means it’s going to be hard

Adriano’s POVTo say I was in a good mood would be an understatement. I was over the fucking moon.Even the thought of what I had to do today did nothing to dim my mood. It turned out that my good mood was plastered on my face for everyone to see.“I can see that your relationship is on the right track,” Nik teased.“Not that you’ll understand since you have no one,” I retorted.“Oh, don’t worry, boss. I have enough fun to keep me happy and I don’t need anyone,” he replied.He was the only fucker that seemed happy at the prospect of torturing someone. That’s why I keep him around. That and the fact he’s good at other things as well.“You also need to stop killing our possible, business associates,” I told him.Nik was in charge of negotiating possible business deals with other groups. We were currently in the middle of negotiating a new arms deal and this morning, I learned that the meeting, Nik was s

Melanie’s POVI woke up tangled up in Adriano’s arms, feeling deliciously sore.Last night was hands down, the best night of my life. It turned out that, Adriano was an insatiable beast in the sheets judging by the number of times we had sex. At some point, I even stopped counting my orgasms.I wasn’t a virgin, but being with the way, Adriano handled me, I might as well have been one.I felt a kiss on my head.“Good morning, little nurse,” he said in his hoarse morning voice.“Good morning,” I replied. “I’m going to need a lot of coffee to get through this day.”“Why?” he asked.“Because a certain young man couldn’t get his hands off me long enough for me to get a decent amount of sleep,” I said.“I’m not going to apologize for that, little nurse, because you enjoyed every single moment of it,” he said.That’s right. I did.“Do you want to call in sick from work today?”

Melanie’s POVAdriano’s lips were on mine, warm and commanding, and every time they moved, I felt like I was unraveling piece by piece. His hand slid up my back, strong and steady, pulling me closer until there was no space between us. The soft leather of the couch pressed against my skin, cool and grounding, but it did nothing to calm the storm inside me.I opened my eyes for a moment, catching a glimpse of him. His sharp jawline, the dark stubble brushing against my skin, and the intensity in his gaze always made me feel like I was the only thing in his world.I could barely breathe, but I didn’t care. Every kiss was like a promise, dark, intense, and utterly consuming. His fingers tangled in my hair, tugging gently as he tilted my head back, exposing my neck to him. He trailed kisses along my jawline, slow and deliberate, his breath hot against my skin. I arched into him, my fingers clutching at his shoulders as his lips trailed

Adriano’s POVThe soft light of the living room barely cut through the weight of the night as I watched her. I blinked thinking I might have imagined the words I heard earlier.Melanie stood a few feet away, still in her jeans and that worn leather jacket she seemed to love so much. I noticed because ever since the cold rolled in, she had been wearing more of that jacket. She looked like trouble and comfort rolled into one, the kind of combination that could destroy a man if he wasn’t careful and I’ve never really been careful around my girl. In fact, I was fast losing the patience I thought I was holding on to and if she was messing with me, I would be pissed.Now, though, something had shifted. Her eyes met mine, and I knew we were past the point of trying to avoid the sexual tension that existed in perpetuity between us.“Kiss me,” she said softly, but there was nothing timid in her tone. It wasn’t a question or even a

Melanie’s POVAdriano led me into the restaurant and we were led towards a private booth. The servers were very polite and a little too eager to server but it was to be expected.The man booked the whole restaurant to take his girlfriend on a date. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out he was influential.The food was amazing!I had a hard time deciding between two dishes but I ended up going for the chicken cacciatore while, Adriano ordered the second dish I was considering for himself.I tried not to swoon at how attentive he was to me because I know for a fact that he ordered that dish because of me but I didn’t want to draw attention to it.And as I suspected, when our food arrived and we began eating, he asked me if I wanted to try a bite of his food and somehow, half of his parmesan ended up on my plate.Thank God he ordered enough servings.The conversation also flowed freely all

Melanie’s POVI clocked out and ran to change out of my scrubs, ignoring the numerous eyes that were on me. Some were staring at me with approval but most of them had looks of jealousy and envy, like I somehow stole what belonged to them.Well, that was none of my business. The fact was, Adriano is my man and they can look all they want but can't have him. So that was one way to look at it. Besides, I wasn't a stranger to being stared at.I changed out of my regular clothes and when I got out. She was glaring at daggers at me but there was no mistaking the envy in her eyes when she saw, Adriano earlier.I smiled at her. Take that you petty, conniving, bitch. Yes, you can think you're all that and try to take away surgeries from me but you'll never have my man.I got to the nurses’ station, half expecting to meet, Hayley alone but to my surprise, she was engrossed in a conversation with, Adriano and they were laughing.

Melanie’s POV“Ugh… you guys are so cute it’s disgusting,” Aria said, once again interrupting our moment.“Shut up, Ari!” Adriano barked at her.“Whatever, I’m going to be with, Alice in the kitchen so wrap this up because we’re all having dinner together and I don’t want you making googly eyes at each other at the dinner table,” she said.“You still haven’t said it, Melanie,” Adriano said when we were finally alone. “I need to hear you say it.”“You need to hear me call you, baby?” He nodded. “Yes, I do because you’re mine and I’m yours. Every part of me belongs to you. So I’m your baby and it feels fucking good to hear you admit it.”I would have laughed if he wasn't being incredibly sweet. A grown-ass man was happy I called him, baby. Now that was a first.“Still, you shouldn’t have yelled at your sister that way,” I told him."She can handle it besides how do you expect me to let out

Melanie’s POVAdriano and I spent the day watching movies and munching on junk food after he finished the entire jar of cookies I made for him.I’d never seen someone that obsessed with cookies and it’s actually funny to see, Adriano react that way to the cookies.I must admit that it made me feel good that he loved my baking, now it got me wanting to do more. Maybe bake a pie or some muffins. I might start a bit easier and go with brownies instead but we'll see.When we got tired of staying indoors, he suggested we go out for a walk around the grounds and I gladly agreed.I had never really wandered around the house except the insides. I knew that the staff quarters were also in the compound but I'd never been there, and neither do I know how they live over there. It turned out the quarters were an array of bungalows for the staff.That way everyone had their privacy. There was also a large kitchen. Apparently, th
