Kate

How can someone be this handsome? I said inside my head as I stared at the sleeping Dante. Even though the light reflecting in the room was little his face was still glowing. I found myself wanting to stare at him for a longer time. The urge to trail my fingers over his face grew. I slowly stretched my hand and gently caressed his brow. He has a thick brow for an arrogant person like him.

I went down to his nose to his lips. My heart quickened up at the memories of last night. Who would expect I would give in easily like that? After hauling insults at each other, we ended up being in each other’s skin.

Dante’s eyelid shook making me to move back and close my eyes. How do I face him after all this?

“Better open your eyes. I know you're awake.” Came his deep voice which didn't resist making my stomach churned. I started by opening one eye and I found Dante leaning a bit too close to my face.

I planned to roll over to the floor even if I would end up in pain. However, I didn't g

    DanteThe sound of glass shattering against the floor echoed through the walls. My chest heaved, my fists clenched so tight I could feel my pulse in my palms. I hadn't meant to knock the vase over—but right now, I didn't give a damn about broken decorations.Kate had crossed the line. No. She'd leapt over it.After everything I said, after warning her—she still went ahead and threw a party for Aria. My house. My daughter. My rules. And she spat on all of them.I turned toward the others, "Bianca, take Aria to her room."Bianca looked hesitant for a moment, her hand gently resting on Aria's back. My daughter confused, scared, still clutching the corner of her dress like it was her shield. My gut twisted at the sight, but I didn't let it soften me."Now," I said firmly.Bianca nodded and led Aria upstairs without a word. Sophia and Arthur started to move, but Nicholas stood rooted, brows furrowed in frustration."Dante," he started, "You need to calm the hell down—""I said get out," I

    KateI was definitely going to get in trouble for this.Scratch that—I was already in trouble. Dante had told me to drop it. His exact words? "Leave it alone, Kate." And of course, I didn't. Because when a child's birthday is just a few days away, and that child happens to be the only bright thing in a house, you don't just leave it alone.Especially not when the child is Aria. Bianca stood on a stool beside me, stringing the pastel pink and white balloons I'd ordered behind Dante's back. Her sleeves were rolled up, her face flushed with quiet excitement. Arthur had taken on the job of hanging streamers and setting up the small table with a cake stand I borrowed from the kitchen. Sophia was organizing the gift bags we'd put together earlier that morning, carefully arranging them into neat rows.And me? I was in the middle of it all—passing tape, tying ribbons, barking soft instructions like I hadn't just ignored the order of the one man who hated being disobeyed.But I didn't care.

    KateThe second I stepped out of the car, the air hit me like a slap.My legs felt steady, but only because I forced them to be. Inside, everything was a mess. My heart was still beating like Dante's hands were still on my skin. Like his mouth was still on mine. Like I hadn't just climbed off his lap, looked him dead in the eyes, and dared him to deal with what we were both pretending wasn't happening.I walked into the house. The hallway was quiet, and I was grateful for it. No Nicholas with his annoying smirks. No Sophia avoiding eye contact. Just silence—finally.I made it to the stairs and started up, one step at a time. The second I closed the door behind me, I let out the breath I'd been holding since I left the car.My hands went to my lips, brushing over them. They still tingled.I hated how much I wanted more. I hated that I could still feel his grip on my waist, his breath on my skin, the tension in his body as he tried not to lose it completely. I crossed the room and drop

    DanteThe clink of cutlery was the only sound filling the dining room. Nicholas was already seated, scrolling through his phone like he owned the world. Aria sat beside him, legs swinging off her chair as she spooned cereal into her mouth, her hair tied in two uneven puffs. Sophia was across from them, politely quiet, stirring tea she hadn't sipped.And me? I was nursing a black coffee.Then she walked in. Kate.Her hair was loose, a little wild like she didn't bother taming it this morning—and fuck, I knew exactly why. She was in a simple shirt and jeans, nothing dramatic, but my mind pulled up the image of that same body naked, writhing under me, breathless, begging.Goddamn."Good morning," she said, her voice smooth, untouched by guilt. She leaned over and kissed Aria's cheek, smiling.And then her eyes met mine. A flash of something—something that shouldn't be allowed at a breakfast table with others present—passed between us. My grip on the mug tightened. Her lips, slightly red.

    Kate"Say it," he breathed against my mouth, voice husky with want.I shivered but whispered, "What do you want me to say?"His hands tightened on my hips, pulling me flush against him, the hardness of him pressing insistently."That you'll behave."The words felt like a surrender, and yet, I wanted to say them. I wanted to be his in that way—the way he demanded, the way he commanded."I'll behave," I murmured, breathless.He smirked against my lips, and I knew this was only the beginning. His hands slipped under the hem of my shirt, trailing up my back, fingers digging into skin."Good girl," he said. "But first, I'm going to remind you exactly who's in charge."His mouth found the sensitive spot just below my ear, and I melted—ready, willing, and already undone.His mouth moved slowly down my neck, leaving a trail of fire with every touch. I could feel the pulse pounding in my throat, every nerve alive and aching for more. His hands gripped me tighter, sliding under my shirt to cup

    KateI didn't hear half the story Aria was telling me. She was talking about a dream she had last night—something about a kitten with wings and her daddy turning into a superhero with lasers in his eyes—but my mind had wandered far from her story.Far from the pink bowl in my hand and the spoonful of mashed bananas hovering mid-air.I was back beneath that tree.With Sophia.And the haunted look in her eyes as she finally spoke the truth.Her grandmother. Gone. Her innocence. Sold. Her soul. Shattered.And Dante—he'd found her. Saved her. Protected her.Why?Was it guilt? Duty? Or something else entirely?"Aunt Kate?"Aria's soft voice yanked me back to the present. I blinked, startled, and realized the spoon was still frozen in front of her mouth."Oh—sorry," I said quickly, scooping the mush back up before offering it to her again. "Here. You were saying the kitten had pink wings?"But Aria didn't open her mouth. She was watching me closely now, little brows drawn together like she w
