“‘Ciao, puffo!’ (Hi, you smurf!) How about I throw you into the pool?” Leone asked in Italian.

“Do it!” arrived the little boy’s defiant answer, also in Italian.

The boy’s laughing eyes brightened with excitement. He splayed out his arms and legs, ready to fly through the air into the still, blue water despite being fully dressed.

“Nah, I won’t do it,” Leone told him, hitching the boy’s wiry figure onto his arm so they were eye to eye. “That’s your punishment for trying to push me in, ‘nanerottolo’ (you, little gremlin). No swimming at all. Now, go on and say hello to Miss Wilde,” he said, indicating her with a nod.

Norah looked at Leone, absolutely mesmerized seeing him acting so… playfully. She waited for the little boy to talk. After all, she was the stranger in this picture. She didn’t want to scare him.

“Norah, this little devil is Marco Gritti, my second cousin. He has all of his mother’s sass and twice his father’s disregard for danger.”

“Ciao!” he exclaim

    A few minutes later, Norah was moving around Gabrielle’s kitchen, chatting with her with surprising ease. Perhaps Gabrielle wasn’t resting with her feet up as her husband had demanded, but since she wasn’t holding anything heavier than a paring knife, Norah didn’t say anything. Besides, every birth story she’d ever heard was a lengthy process, happening in the midnight hours. Gabrielle wasn’t complaining of a backache or any of those other things women talked about as labor’s signs. She was relaxed, cheery and so, so nice! Feeling as vilified as she did, Norah was deeply relieved to be finally treated like a normal person.“Did you get that top at the boutique on the far end of the lake?” Gabrielle asked. “I bought the black and gold one two

  • NORAH & HER UNTAMEABLE BOSS   CHAPTER 18

    Leone had seen the photos online from today’s shopping trip with Norah and last night’s kiss. The passionate embrace on the stern of the yacht still made his pulse pound just thinking of it. His mind went to the car, the wet heat clenching his fingers, her sweet nectar on his tongue as she shuddered and cried out while orgasming. There were a million reasons why he should merely act like they were an item, rather than make the affair real, but they would make it real. He knew it for sure. They could put it off, because they both knew in their gut that neither of them would come away unharmed, but their making love was inevitable.“What? No comment?” Yari poked. “Leo… ‘Fratello’ (brother), if you’re right and she’s a victim, she had been hurt more than enough for a lifetime. Don’t make h

    “Oh, dear God… This was such an amazing experience,” Norah said fifty minutes later, as the ambulance carried off a grumbling Gabrielle and a newborn baby boy. The youngest of the Gritti family had made his voice heard for a brief moment, then once he was placed on his mother’s chest, fell asleep, unusually cool, calm, and collected for a baby that tiny.“This is an absolute waste of time. The doctor is just going to tell me that everything is perfectly fine and that I’m free to go home if this is what I want. I wish you hadn’t called them,” Gabrielle scolded Leone on her way out the door.“Nonetheless, amore mio, humor us all, please,” Yari said with odd composure. “Especially me.” He joined his wife while buttoning his clean shirt with hands that might have shaken a little, but he’d barely broken a sweat while carrying Gabrielle to their bed and helping their youngest son come into the world minutes later.“‘Va bene, tesoro’ (Very well, sweetheart),” Gabrielle sa

    Norah looked back at him and let Leone see her smug joy in getting him as angry as a bull.“Oh, I’m sorry,” she said in a tone of fake regret. “You’re right. It’s not cheap… This is becoming quite expensive for you, isn’t it? Because if you won’t allow me to get a real job, you’ll have to cover the lease on my apartment and also, pay all my bills.” It was a childish shot and as expected, it fell flat.“Already done, Norah.” His words wiped off her satisfied grin.“What did you just say?!” Leone smiled at having drawn the wind from her sails.“You’re not my first mistress, piccola,” Leone added calmly. Those words hit Norah right in her gut. She tried to say something but he went on.“But you’re the first one who is moving in with me. It’s not an ideal situation but we have to send the right message to the world: we are lovers living together. So, I’ve assigned you a private assistant. She’ll send you our schedule shortly.” ‘M

    He picked up her hand and pressed it to his own chest, where his heart punched against her palm.“You felt it on the backseat of my limo, when you fell apart and simply exploded in my mouth. So, why is this coming as a surprise for you? How could you not understand it’s the same for me, Norah?” Emotion pressed at the backs of her eyes and thickened her throat. He watched her struggle to swallow and cupped his hand under her jaw, palm against her neck, thumb caressing the hollow below her ear.“Tell me you don’t want this and I’ll back off right now,” he whispered. Leone’s mouth was so close that Norah could feel his warm breath against her lips, against her cheek.“Tell me you don’t think about us going a second round… or a third…” He rested his forehead against Norah’s. “Piccola, your eyes are saying yes…” Leone traced her bottom lip with his finger, then nipped at it with his lips.“Your hands are saying yes.” He covered

    Norah didn’t know if it was the spontaneity, the man, or the culmination of all her fantasies coming to life, but she was ready to explode, hard and fast. He felt so strong wrapped around her. This was exactly what she needed. He ripped away from her mouth, leaving her panting against the cool steel as he bent and took position between her legs. His hot breath tickled her skin. He moved the soaked-through scrap of material to the side and dove in.“Oh, God!” Thousands of tiny sparks lit up her body as Leone assaulted her pussy with strong laps from his tongue. She felt the smirk spread across his lips at her reaction. Her skin sizzled. Her thighs clenched. Her stomach fluttered with every scratch of his cheek.“Please, Leo!” Norah lifted her pelvis, grinding her sex into his greedy mouth. Leone picked up speed. His tongue and fingers worked together to bring her to climax. She watched him enjoying every second of his task. She smoothed

  • NORAH & HER UNTAMEABLE BOSS   EMMA'S NOTE

    Hey, Y'all!!!! THANK YOU, guys, so much for all the attention, love, and support you're giving to this story. After a short break (after the elevator scene, my brain stopped functioning well - damn you, Leone Gritti!) I've started working on the following 4 chapters (there will be a lot of sex... hot sex!!!!). I'll update the story once I finish the editing. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! In a way, I'm pushing myself with this story, especially with the sex scenes. They are bolder and wilder, so I'm learning as I go. Sometimes the scene comes fast, sometimes, not so much. But I promise you I'm writing them as quickly and as accurately as I possibly can. I'll update as soon as possible!!!!!! Baci & Abbracci, Emma.

    ‘Who was the woman in the elevator? Was that me? I never thought I could be so… wild, and shameless, and carefree… But with Leo is impossible for me to be otherwise… I can’t deny him my body… I can’t stop this yearning I feel whenever he’s close… I am his lover, after all… This is why I’m doing this, right?’ Norah was looking at her reflection in the mirror. ‘I’m yours, Leo… For as long as you want me.’ She was still trembling and her legs were still shaking from earlier. She finished cleaning herself up and she was fixing her makeup.“Thank God, they used waterproof makeup, otherwise…” she murmured. “And thank God, I wasn’t alone in the elevator. If it wasn’t for Leo’s help…” Norah recalled Leone’s mouth on her mouth, on her body, on her…“Stop it!” she scolded herself. “You’re not helping yourself in any way. Right now, you need to be at your best game. You’re the girlfriend of a billionaire, for pity’s sake. Act accordingly!”

    “Yes, Freddie, David will come to see me this weekend. And I know for sure he won’t be coming alone,” Norah replied to her stepbrother. “Since he came to live here, in Milan, he kinda... changed… And the Italian ladies adore him.” A little girl with incredible blue eyes and long dark hair was trying to get the cellphone from her hand.“Cat! Cat!” she exclaimed pointing at it.“No, sweetie, it’s Uncle Freddie,” Norah said, trying to keep her calm. “Cat is coming later with Marco, Arturo, Aunt Gabby, and Uncle Yari.”“‘So, I’ll be seeing you and Dad next week?’” she heard Freddie’s voice at the other end.“Absolutely! Leo will send you all the info for the jet. And tell Pamela, your sweet fiancée, that I cannot wait to meet her in person.”“Cat!” the little girl repeated.“Listen, Freddie, I’m sorry but I have to go. Your niece is still half dressed and my guests will be here in twenty minutes.”“‘Go, sweetie! I’ll talk to you later, okay? Please, take care. Remember you’re ca

    “I don’t understand why you think I’m not being honest… What part of my story seemed a lie to you?” Leone asked with a chilling voice and his shoulders went back. Norah shook her head slightly.“I’m not questioning the story of your life. Not one bit.” She watched him closely and a thousand images of their common past come over her. Parts of past conversations, simple words and gestures that she saw but at that time, couldn’t quite grasp… During the days they spent together, he hid his true self behind this thick wall, showing her just small bits of the real Leone Gritti. This is why she couldn’t see his true thoughts, feelings, emotions. But things were so much clearer now when the dark clouds were gone. She usually was the queen of wishful thinking, but this wasn’t wishful thinking at all… was it?“I wanted you to know the real reason behind my decision. Norah, I don’t want you to get hurt even more because of who I am.”“Hmm… So, let me get this straig

    Hey, Y'all!!!! Later today, I will publish the last chapter and the epilogue of "NORAH & HER UNTAMEABLE BOSS". I am a bit emotional about this story that wasn't that easy to write (the sex scenes were quite tricky). But now, I'm finally here, ready and willing to give our couple everything they've asked for during all these chapters and release them into the world. Thank you for everything you gave to this story, for being there for me, every step of this adventure. Thank you for your support and loyalty. You are the best! But, most of all, thank you for your patience and understanding, and for not putting too much pressure on me. Also, I would like to let you know that I am preparing something new for you (of course), so do not stay away too long from my Goodnovel page. Keep an eye on it. One more thing: I've decided to go back on ALL my old stories and start an extremely thorough editing process. It is not going to be a fast process (but a very painful and frustrating one

    Leone punched in the override code to get him to the floor he wanted. All the way up, he looked at her, admiring her from every angle possible. She was breathtaking. Norah was the only woman he knew who could make a work suit look so incredibly sexy. Were those the clothes he bought for her in Milan? He really hoped so… Knowing that she didn’t throw away everything reminding her of him made Leone feel happy somehow… Norah was still allowing him a small place in her life.“Are you okay?” Leone asked her in a sweet tone.“The way up is long but I’m good…” she replied and flicked her hair behind her shoulder. That sea of pure dark silk played with his senses… all of them. Her perfume was so unique, so sensual. Leone remembered sensing it on his pillowcase for days. He even stopped his housekeeper from taking it away and washing it. Leone needed her fragrance to be able to breathe. To be able to live after that day.“Would you like me t

    Three months since Leone. Three months since she saw him for the last time in that damn conference room, in Milan. Three months of dragging her feet around, doing the same things day after day, living the lamest life possible. Even the paparazzi cut her some slack, and most of them moved on to the next hot subject: some young popstar’s extremely messy divorce. So, at this point, Norah was doing okay. Or she thought she was until she gave into Freddie’s suggestion to go out with Hank, one of his buddies from college, now some big shot on Wall Street. At first, she said no. Norah thought three months was still too early to go out with another man. But when she took a good look at her life, and saw how boring it was, Norah asked Freddie to give her number to his friend. It was time to get back on the horse and start creating a new Norah, find new interests, and try new things. She also told herself this date would be a test, to

  • NORAH & HER UNTAMEABLE BOSS   CHAPTER 31

    While the airplane taking them to New York, was smoothly crossing the ocean, Norah kept looking at the white clouds. She now knew that Leone was really through with her. She had waited for him at the airport, but he didn’t come for her. She kept hoping until the plane took off and still no sign of him. Strangely, Freddie was standing next to her, allowing her to morn in silence, looking genuinely worried about her. From time to time, she would give him a quick glance, trying to understand the reason why a man who never give a damn about her, would come to Italy to help her. Freddie might have blown up her relationship with Leone, but he was really sorry. He was treating her like she was made of glass, barely touching her, moving her with his gentle voice. He told her that he shouldn’t have waited for her to ask for help, but that he knew how important her independence was to her. He had wanted to respect her choices, but he couldn’t watch her

    “Finally!” The man who entered the room with her lawyer was wearing a tailored suit and was shaved. That voice… She knew that voice!“Hello!” he said again. “Oh, my God!” she exclaimed. “I almost didn’t recognize you without your… stubble… What are you doing here?” Norah was perplexed seeing Freddie in the same room, but she was also glad. Even if he was just her stepbrother. “Norah!” She almost stepped forward to hug him, but stopped, a grim sensation coming over her. This would’ve been his only reason to come to Italy so unexpectedly. “Is David okay?”“Dad is fine. He’s worried sick about you,” Freddie said, sending a hostile glance around the conference room. “Why haven’t you called him?”“I... didn’t know what to say. You told him I was okay, didn’t you?”“Are you? Really? What is this?” Freddie waved at the conference table where red folders had been set in front of a handful of chairs.“I told you not to sign a single thing

    “Ciao, ragazzi! (Hi, guys)” Yari exclaimed as he opened the door to his home to them a few nights later. They were there on Gabrielle’s invitation. With Arturo being born and the Weldon affair, the four of them had very few interactions. So, Gabrielle insisted, and… here they were.“Good job on the lawyer, Norah,” Yari added dryly.“Erin Anthony is really nice, isn’t she?” Norah asked him. But she barely paid attention to the conversation, totally astonished by the house she just entered. While driving there, Leone had told her that the house had been in the family for generations.“Nice?” Yari repeated under his breath, then turned to Leone. “Did you have anything to do with her choice?”“No way… Why? Are we about to lose these?” Leone asked plucking at his shirt.“My stepbrother found her for me,” Norah hurried to say. “I’m sorry… I didn’t know who else to ask. Why? Is she awful?”“Well… Depends which side of the table you’re on,” Yari said smoothly. “I have to s
