Carlo's POV: As soon as the words left her lips, my mouth claimed hers in a bruising, demanding kiss. I shoved my tongue into her slightly parted lips and a gasp escaped her. I swallowed it up loving the way her body melted into mine as my tongue tangled with hers. Fuck, she tasted so good. Her plump, soft lips felt so good gliding against mine and I tilted my head to deepen the kiss. Until her, I've never been the one to enjoy kissing but ever since I first kissed her… It was like I just couldn't get enough, like my eyes had been opened to a whole new world. One hand cupped her plump ass, squeezing as I pulled her close against my groin. I groaned into her mouth as she writhed against me, rubbing against my already dripping, hard, throbbing length. Precum seeped from my tip into my boxer briefs as she kissed me back fiercely. My free hand combed through her dark, silky strands, grabbing a handful as the kiss turned filthy, desperate, all tongue. Her moans and my groans soon
Natalia's POV:I sincerely couldn't tell what the heck was wrong with me or where this boldness came from…. But all I knew was that I was horny out of my damn mind!I knew I was supposed to play hard to get despite our deal but that had been thrown out of the window as soon as Carlo came close to me.He makes me stupid!My body trembled with it, my clit throbbed. I took off my soaked underwear and threw my leg over his chest with my back to him.Fuck.Despite feeling so exposed and vulnerable in this position, I felt a slick, warm substance trickling out of my hole in anticipation of the pleasure that was to come. His big palms grabbed my hips, pulling me back until my pussy and asshole were staring back at him.I felt my face burn. I've never been in such a position before but my body loved it.“Fuck.” I heard him curse. Clenching when his warm breath caressed my pussy.. “So fucking pretty, I could eat you out for days.”Shit. Please do.“Fuck yourself on my tongue, monella,” he ras
Natalia's POV:After he emptied himself inside me, he rolled off pulling me along with him and somehow, I ended up tucked into his side, my head firmly placed against his chest. His rapid heartbeat echoing in my ear, my own heartbeat rivaling his. Only our harsh breathing could be heard in the room.Maybe if this was any other time, if I wasn't so weak and drunk on orgasm, I wouldn't have allowed it—laying on his chest, cuddling—but I was too tired.My body still hummed from the intense pleasure, bringing back images of the past few minutes to my mind as a sleepy smile tugged on my lips.Wow.That was one way to describe that hot, filthy sex. I would say Carlo was my best lay but he was my only lay so that's that.As our heart rate slowed, sleep started to close in on me. My eyes grew heavy and my limbs grew weaker. I think I'd only drifted off for a few seconds when I felt a light tap on my shoulder and my eyes snapped open.“Hmm?”“Let's clean up,” he said softly, his voice low and
Carlo's POV: This shit was getting to my head. I thought as I walked down to the empty guestroom I use sometimes—well, whenever she was in my room. Despite taking a shower, I could still feel her on me. It didn't make any sense. Everytime we had sex, it was like I was drawing closer and closer to her. Somehow I had started acting weird. My mind darted back to the shower moment. What the hell was that? I rubbed the bridge of my nose as I pushed the door open, locking it behind me, I plopped down on the bed. I could have sworn my heart rate had increased at that moment… It felt like I wanted us to stay that way forever. ‘Forever?’ I had clearly lost my mind. Was following Alessandro's advice really a good idea? I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to drive images of her away from my mind. It was useless. I tossed and turned for hours until I finally drifted into sleep, grateful for the escape from reality and constantly thinking of her…. But she was there too, in my
Natalia's POV:10:33 AMI stretched out on the bed, feeling the muscles on my back ache as my joints made a cracking sound. My hand reached blinding for the spot beside me and I'm met with nothing but cool linen sheets.Oh shoot, he really did leave last night.My eyes fluttered open and I rose slowly into a sitting position, the little ache between my legs was a subtle reminder of what had transpired last night. From the way he'd devoured my lips to how hard he'd fucked me. It was so fucking perfect. My stomach flipped as a small smile tugged on my lips and as quickly as it came, I wiped it off my lips. Why the hell was I smiling? What for exactly?It was just sex, hot freaking good sex. Nothing more. It was more like a beneficial transaction between us. I remain his mistress and he let me live ‘freely.’ And that was it.‘Don't go falling for the man, Natalia.’ The small voice in my head warned.Fall for Carlo? Pfft. I shook my head, kicking back the covers, exposing my naked bo
Natalia's POV: BANG! Right before my eyes, one of our guards dropped to the floor, blood oozing from somewhere around his head. His eyes opened, cold and void of life. He was dead. A pit opened in my stomach. No, no, no, no. This wasn't happening. My heart was like a battering ram in my chest, threatening to break from my ribs and leap onto the floor. Everything happened so fast as one of our guards immediately pulled out his weapon while the other three formed a human shield around us with their guns out too. “Get in the van!” One of them shouted and instincts took over as my trembling hands grabbed the handles of Angela’s wheelchair. Fear flashed on her expression, her pale face mirroring mine. “Oh lord, why is this happening,” she muttered shakily under her breath as I tried my hardest to help her inside the van without trembling for one second, I'd done it successfully, moving it up the slide out ramp. And then I lost my balance, tripping backwards, my hands slipped from
CHAPTER EIGHTY Carlo's POV: As soon as I left Natalia behind in my room, the smile on my face dropped, my mask of pretense slipping away as something dark replaced it. Sure, I had fun teasing her. I mean I was glad she was safe— I was glad? The fuck is wrong with my head? It didn't matter, not right now. What mattered was the fact that they had been ambushed. I say ‘ambushed’ because these fuckers knew my sister had an appointment at that hospital. They knew the time and date! Merda! This was driving me nuts! They had gone too far this time but who were they? I flung the door to my office open, striding in to find Enzo and the fools that had accompanied my sister and Natalia to the hospital. These good for nothings couldn't even catch at least one person who we could use as a scapegoat and trace back their leaders. “Don, they had masks on, and they shot from a distance we couldn't tell who they were or who they worked for.” One of my guards said, with his
Carlo’s POV: “What the fuck is this?” I demanded, glaring hard at my archenemy as he walked through the door like he owned the place. My blazing eyed darted back to Alfredo who seemed so very proud of himself. “Why is Gianpaolo here, Alfredo?” “Oh, sorry, don,” he said, not looking any bit sorry about this. “I forgot to inform you that we have all agreed to welcome Gianpaolo back into the inner circle.” Anger flared inside me, my body trembled with it. “Behind my back? Who is in charge here?!” “You, don, you of course. But you see, we have rules and if a leader doesn't follow them, it's our right to deal with the problems however we deem fit.” My attention drifted back to Gianpaolo who had a big grin on his face as he dropped into the seat across from me. There'd been am extra seat… how didn't I notice that earlier. These fucking bastards were really testing me. My lips curled up in a sneer as my eyes moved from one man to the next. “So bringing back the very man I banished fo

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & EIGHTY-NINE: Natalia's POV: My eyes fluttered open and the first thing I noticed was the big hand resting on my waist and I stiffened.Carlo?Carefully and slowly, I turned around coming face to face with a sleeping Carlo. Like this, he looked so peaceful and even more gorgeous. So he came back to bed, cuddling with me. I thought. I could stay like this for hours—days—and not move, I love being in his arms like this, I love being this close to him. For the next ten minutes or so, I lay quietly, until his eyelashes fluttered open revealing those gorgeous eyes to me.“You're awake,” he mumbled in a deep, throaty voice and I smiled.“Yes,” I whispered. “I was watching you sleep,” I said before I could stop myself, almost like my mouth had no filter.He smiled. “You enjoy watching me sleep?” Maybe more than I'd like to admit. “I don't know,” I lied, avoiding his eyes. “I'm thirsty, could you move your arm?” “Don't stress yourself, I'll get water for you,” he i
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & NINETY:Angela's POV: HOURS EARLIER….Rueben was finally getting better and Camilla said his infections were gone. I couldn't stand being close to him like this out of guilt but I couldn't leave his side either. Of course, being the man he was, he didn't blame me, in fact, he was relieved I had gotten home safe. Can you believe it?I was the reason he almost died and he was worried about me?‘Tell him what happened and watch if he'd still care about you,’ A voice mocked in my head and I shut my eyes tightly to make it go away.Every day was an internal battle with my head and heart. Do I tell him or not? I know if I didn't there would be no way of him knowing since none of the people who already knew were going to spill it anyways.But it was eating me up inside. No one knew how I kept reliving that day every time I shut my eyes, no one knew how I kept looking behind me. How could they tell I could still feel those bastards moving in and out of my mouth?They
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & NINETY-ONE: Carlo's POV: My knees buckled. I can count on a single hand the number of times I've felt this way. Helpless, frightened, powerless.“Don't you dare lay a finger on her!” I barked, my voice trembling. “I can't promise that, Carlo,” the bastard drawled. “Your cooperation determines how this goes. If you do as I say, she gets to walk free, unharmed.” “What do you want?” I gritted, grabbing my phone so hard it was a surprise it didn't Crack. “Name your price.”“You, Carlo?” I could hear the smile in his voice. “You're the prize.” This fucking bastard. “Fine!” From the corner of my eyes, I could see Enzo shaking his head, saying no but my mind was made up. “You will come to the location I've just sent you,” he ordered. “Come alone, Carlo. I don't need any of your minions, just you. You in exchange for your whore.” I didn't wait for any more babbling from me, I hung up, checking the location he sent as Enzo walked up to me.“You can't go there alo

Carlo's POV: I don't know what I'm feeling, but I can't say I didn't understand it either. I do and that's what terrifies me. I might be overreacting, freaking out because I was slowly realizing that things have completely changed for me, that my normal was now a completely different thing. And I see it now, what Camilla had been trying to tell me, Enzo too. But how could this have happened? When did the lines get blurred? How did I get here? It's just been months, how didn't I see this coming?“Don?” My head snapped up at Enzo's voice. How hadn't I heard him come in? “Enzo,” I muttered, watching as he closed the door behind him and walked in. “You're up late.” He pulled out the chair from across me and lowered onto it. “Yes, I had to round up some things,” he laced his fingers. “I noticed you walking aimlessly in the garden before coming here. Are you okay?” I should tell him, shouldn't I?He understood me better and was my most trusted man.I heaved a sigh rubbing a finger o
Natalia's POV: “Are you asleep?” Carlo asked, his fingers toying with my hair was already taking me there…“No.” We lay together on his bed, after a good round of sex, we'd showered together and now, I had my head on his chest and his arms wrapped around me.A beat passed. “How do you feel about going to university?” Huh?!I jerked up to look at him. “I don't understand.” He smiled, and pulled me back down to his chest. “I don't know, I just thought you might want that. Maybe after you've had the baby or maybe you can start now,” he shrugged. “I heard even pregnant women attend university these days. Anyone you're comfortable with is fine.” Wait…. Am I dreaming?“You're for real?” I asked carefully.“When have I ever joked about something so serious, monella?” He planted a kiss on my hair. “I'm serious about this, you can attend university if you want. I don't know if I'm wrong, but it was your dream, yes? To go to school. I do not want to take that away from you…” he trailed off
Natalia's POV: I'm easy and cheap. I thought to myself as I melted against his bare chest. His arms came around me, holding me so close as if he was trying to merge us together and for a moment, we just stood like that. And then one hand came up to my hair, stroking it gently.“You confuse me,” he murmured. “I do not know what to do with you, how to deal with..” He trailed off and I was tempted to ask him to continue but I didn't want to ruin the moment.“I didn't mean to ignore you,” he continued. “And you're right, I should've communicated better. I guess I didn't think it was important… I …I.. I've never done this…”This? What did he mean by that? “I'll do better, monella,” He whispered softly. “I'm sorry.” He didn't have to keep saying sorry because I'd forgiven him the moment he held me back. You see? Easy and cheap. But then, he was apologizing wasn't he? Didn't that mean I was a little bit important to him?‘Because of the baby!’ A little voice in my head snapped and I
