Valentina's POV"That's impossible."No sooner had I said it than I screamed.My brother's two fingers brought me unprecedented pleasure.As he pumped his fingers, he asked, "What's impossible?""I can't squirt." I had used B.O.B. before, but unfortunately, it had never made me squirt, only climax.Dante's lips curved into that arrogant smirk I both hated and craved. "You can throw away those useless electronic boyfriends. I guarantee you've never experienced a real orgasm."He quickened his finger movements, curling them inside me with practiced precision, and my body trembled violently. The obscene wet sounds from my pussy filled the room."Hold your legs up." Dante commanded, his voice husky with desire. "Once I feel you tighten, I'm going to spank your pussy."The darkness in his tone sent another rush of wetness between my thighs. I obeyed, grabbing behind my knees and pulling them toward my chest, exposing myself completely to him. His eyes darkened at the sight, his jaw clench
Valentina's POVWhen I woke up, my whole body was sore. Every muscle ached with a dull, persistent throb that reminded me of everything that had happened with Dante. I stretched carefully, wincing as pain shot through my lower back and between my thighs.The room was surprisingly neat—no evidence of our violent encounter remained. The torn clothing had been cleared away, the sheets straightened. Dante must have tidied up before he left. The thought of him cleaning while I slept, moving silently around the room, sent an uncomfortable shiver down my spine.I reached for my phone on the nightstand, squinting at the bright screen. A message notification caught my attention, and my stomach dropped as I saw the name.Leon.My ex-boyfriend's text was simple: *Dinner tonight? We need to talk.*I sank back against the pillows, my mind racing. Leon and I had dated for nearly a year before Dante returned to the family. But now, after what had happened with Dante...I closed my eyes, memories fl
Dante's POVI watched Valentina sleep beside me, her chest rising and falling with each gentle breath. Last night had been fucking incredible.The moment we'd closed the bedroom door behind us, I'd slammed her against the wall, unable to contain the hunger that had been building between us for weeks. I tore her blouse open and roughly palmed her breasts, how she arched into my touch, demanding more."Dante," she'd whispered my name like a prayer as I dropped to my knees in front of her, yanking her skirt up around her waist. I'd ripped her delicate underwear aside and buried my face between her thighs, tasting her sweetness while she clutched my hair, grinding against my mouth until she came apart for the first time that night.But that had just been the beginning.I remembered the tight, slick heat of her body as I'd thrust into her, how she'd cried out and dug her nails into my back hard enough to draw blood."Harder," she'd begged, wrapping her legs around my waist. "Fuck me hard
Valentina's POVI watched my brother's tall figure cutting through the crowd, his gray eyes locked on me with an intensity that made my stomach clench.Leon stood beside me, oblivious to the approaching storm. He was still talking about how I could leverage Dante's influence to take back what was rightfully mine. The DeLuca gang. My father's legacy."Val, are you even listening?" Leon's voice seemed distant. "This is your chance. Your stepbrother has the connections, the manpower—""Shut up," I hissed, my eyes never leaving Dante's approaching figure. "He's coming."Leon turned, his expression shifting from confusion to wariness as Dante stopped directly in front of us. The air between them crackled with tension. My ex-boyfriend straightened his shoulders, trying and failing to match Dante's imposing presence."Valentina." Dante's voice was deceptively calm, but I knew better. The muscle twitching in his jaw betrayed his anger. "We're leaving."Leon scoffed. "She's not going anywhere
Valentina's POV"Do you want me to fuck you in the car?"His words hung in the air between us, harsh and crude, yet they sent an electric current through my body. I shifted uncomfortably in the passenger seat, hating the way my body betrayed me. The space between my thighs grew damp, and I pressed them together tightly, as if that could hide my reaction from him.I didn't answer. Couldn't answer. What could I possibly say? That despite everything—despite him being my stepbrother, despite my plans to use him to reclaim my family's legacy—my body craved his touch?Dante's eyes flicked toward me briefly before returning to the road. "Your silence speaks volumes, Val." His voice dropped to a husky whisper. "I can smell how wet you are right now."My breath caught in my throat. The heat spread across my face and down my neck."You're blushing," he noted, a smirk playing at the corner of his mouth. "I wonder how far down that blush goes. Under that tight little shirt of yours? Between those
Dante's POVThe drive to Sheila's house was quiet, but my mind was anything but. After confronting that bastard Leon—my sister's ex-boyfriend—I'd insisted on taking Val home myself. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about him, the way his eyes had lingered on her a second too long, filled with something that looked dangerously like obsession."You're quiet," Val said, breaking the silence. Her voice was soft in the darkness of the car, the passing streetlights casting shadows across her face. It was strange how comfortable I felt with her beside me, how quickly she'd become someone I actually *wanted* to talk to."Just thinking about that asshole back there," I replied, my hands tightening on the steering wheel. "Has he always been that possessive?"Val sighed. "Leon's always had issues with boundaries. It's part of why we broke up."I glanced at her, noticing how she'd drawn her knees up to her chest, making herself smaller. "You deserve better than that," I said b
Valentina's POVMy brother Dante moved through the house with practiced precision, checking each room methodically. I found myself leaning against the doorframe of my bedroom, watching his broad shoulders as he inspected every corner, every shadow. "Clear in here," he said, his deep voice sending an involuntary shiver down my spine. His gray eyes scanned the room one final time before landing on me. "You sure you haven't noticed anything strange lately? Anyone watching the house?"I shook my head, trying to ignore the way my body responded to his proximity. "Nothing. It's been quiet."Sheila appeared behind me, her arms folded across her chest. "I told you, we're fine. This neighborhood is boring as hell."Dante raised an eyebrow, clearly not convinced. "Then explain why someone's been watching this place.""Maybe they're checking out Valentina's virtual boyfriend," Sheila said with a smirk."Some girls need a little help relaxing before bed."I froze. A deep crimson blush spread acr
Valentina's POVThe rumble of Dante's motorcycle vibrated through me as we followed Matteo's car to The Devil's Forge. I held onto Dante's waist tightly, feeling every shift of his muscles through his leather jacket.When we finally arrived, my legs felt like jelly as I climbed off the bike."First time on a motorcycle?" Dante asked, steadying me with a hand on my arm."Is it that obvious?" I laughed nervously."You squeezed me so hard I could barely breathe," he said with a smirk."Sorry.""Don't be. I liked it."My cheeks heated at his words. Before I could respond, Sheila bounced over, Matteo close behind her."That was amazing!" she gushed. "Matteo, you drive so fast!"Matteo grinned, clearly enjoying her enthusiasm. "Wait till you see inside."We approached the entrance where two massive men stood guard. They straightened immediately when they saw Dante."Boss," one of them nodded."Rex," Dante acknowledged. "These two are under our protection. Make sure everyone knows.""Got it,
Valentina's POVI slammed the door behind me as I entered the room, my heart hammering against my ribs. The smug look on Dante's face when he'd called me "little cat" made me want to both slap him and kiss him senseless. How dare he act so possessive when he'd clearly been with countless women?"Arrogant bastard," I muttered, pacing back and forth across the small guest room I'd been assigned.I felt agitated, restless, like my skin was too tight for my body. The hypocrisy of it all drove me crazy. He had so many sexual partners himself—that lingerie in his apartment was proof enough—so why should he control me? What gave him the right to dictate who I could or couldn't be with?The memory of that burgundy lace made jealousy flare hot and vicious in my chest again. I pictured Dante with some faceless woman, his hands on her body, his mouth on her skin, and the image made me want to scream. Or break something. Preferably over his perfect, arrogant head."It's not fair," I whispered, si
Dante's POVMy stepsister is too naive. In this club, no one dares to touch my woman. She has no idea how things work here, how respect and fear maintain the hierarchy. She doesn't understand that in this world, I'm king.For instance, just now, there was a guy—Miguel, one of our newer prospects—staring at my stepsister as we walked back toward the clubhouse. His eyes traveled down her body, lingering on places they had no business looking. With just a glance from me, he immediately lowered his head, suddenly finding the ground fascinating. Timid men like that don't deserve my stepsister's love. They'd never be able to handle a woman like Val."What are you smiling about?" Val asked, her eyes narrowed with suspicion.I hadn't realized I was smiling. "Just thinking about how little you understand about this place.""Enlighten me then," she challenged, crossing her arms in a way that pushed her breasts up, making my mouth go dry.I moved closer, crowding her space deliberately. "It's be
Valentina's POVThe next day, I decided I needed some fresh air. After spending the night tossing and turning in the unfamiliar bed at the clubhouse, my mind racing with thoughts of Dante and that burgundy lingerie, I needed to clear my head.As I pushed open the heavy door that led outside, the bright morning sunlight momentarily blinded me. I noticed several men lounging around the front of the club. Some worked on motorcycles, others smoked cigarettes, but all of them shared the same intimidating look – leather cuts, tattoos, hard eyes that had seen too much. A few of them turned to stare as I emerged, their gazes lingering on my ass and tits in a way that made me uncomfortable.One guy with a full sleeve of tattoos whistled low under his breath. Another one, tall with a shaved head, nudged his friend and muttered something that made them both laugh. I lifted my chin and started walking toward the street. I wasn't sure where I was going, but anywhere would be better than staying c
Dante's POVThe meeting had wrapped up, but Jax and I stayed behind, nursing our drinks while the others filtered out of the back room at The Devil's Forge. Matteo had just left, giving me one of those knowing looks he was so good at."You know, Dante loses his mind whenever Val is mentioned," Jax said with a smirk, leaning back in his chair. "I've never seen you this way over a woman before. Especially not your sister."I shot him a warning glare. "You better keep your mouth shut if you don't want Raine finding out about your little adventure with those twins in Vegas last year.""Low blow, man." Jax winced, but recovered quickly. "But Raine and I aren't officially together yet.""That's not what she thinks," I countered. "I've seen the way she looks at you."Jax swirled his drink, a flash of something genuine crossing his face before his usual carefree mask slipped back into place. "Do what you want. I think you should be more worried about yourself.""Why's that?" I asked, taking a
Dante's POVThe dimly lit back room of The Devil's Forge smelled like cigarettes and whiskey. Perfect for secrets. I leaned back in my chair, watching as my uncle Matteo tapped his fingers against the wooden table. Jax and two other trusted members of our motorcycle club sat around us, faces serious in the low light."So," I said, breaking the silence. "Let's talk about those two girls from earlier."Jax snorted, taking a swig of his beer. "What's there to talk about? They're in, aren't they?"I grinned, turning to my uncle. "Do you know why they agreed so easily to come back to the club with us? Especially Hilary's eagerness." I leaned forward, enjoying the way my uncle's expression shifted. "I suspect she might have a crush on you, which is absurd considering your age is old enough to be her father."Matteo's face hardened. "I see her as a daughter."I shrugged, not believing him for a second. The way he'd looked at Hilary wasn't paternal. Not even close. "Sure you do. Keep telling
Valentina's POVAs I stepped into the apartment, I froze. This wasn't some bachelor pad or crash site. This was a real home. The kitchen, living room, and dining area flowed together, open and spacious.I ran my fingers along the smooth countertop. Silver-grey walls, worn black furniture, blue accents everywhere. The same blue as Dante's eyes. Something about it made me feel safe. Like I belonged here.The kitchen surprised me with its fancy appliances. Everything spotless and organized. I remembered when Dante made me soup that time I was sick. The memory hit me out of nowhere - him standing over the stove, stirring carefully, checking if it was too hot before giving it to me.He'd mentioned learning to cook after moving in with his uncle. I realized how little I actually knew about his day-to-day life now. I'd researched him thoroughly before our parents' wedding, but that file was full of facts, not the little details that made him who he really was. Yet somehow, I felt like I unde
