Alessio
Her lips tasted like chocolate covered strawberries .Her body gives both heat and sweet sensation .My head spins,I need her and want her all to myself . I pull her up until she crashes into my broad chest, her body twisted against mine. I slide my leg, between hers, apply pressure until her body curves further.
Do as you are told,Pretty face .Break for me and open.I swirl my tongue across the seam of her lips ,I swoop in to feel her .I am a man who take what I want and use weakness to my advantage.
I flatten my palm over her belly, graze my fingers over the core of her. She moans low in her throat, the sound so soft ,I have missed it, except I have plastered her to me. Every breath of her I had inhale ,the trembling that sweeps me up.She was mine .I tilt my head, deepen the kiss even further. Thrust my tongue inside the spring of her mouth and enjoyed from her . I bring my fingers up to cup her breast and she arches her spine. Pushes her flesh into the hollow of my palm. Her hair slaps against my chin, coils around my neck, binding me to her, while connecting us.
No.I tear my lips from her mouth and she tips up her chin, reaches up, seeking my touch, my essence, what only I can give her.
"Pretty Face ?" I clear my throat.
She peers at mes, pupils blown from the pleasure I’d drawn from her.
"Wanna screw?" I allow my lips to curl in a smirk. Rake my gaze down her flushed cheeks, her heaving chest. "You’re a bit too soft for me , but you’ll do for a quickie."
Her cheeks reddened and her eyes spark a light .There, you are.
"F*ck you."
"Well if you insist."
She quickly pulled herself from me and I loosen my grip. Not that she will be going anywhere, considering we were trapped here in this car for a little while longer. Why the hell did I crawl in here with her? A temporary loss of sanity, that’s what it was. I’d heard her beat her fists against the car and…knew it would attract attention. Didn’t want that. Couldn’t bring her up front so I’d done the logical thing. I’d climbed in.
"Get away from me, you obnoxious freak "
"I’m sure you are aware that’s not possible, considering." I jerk my chin towards the space around us.
"And who’s fault is that?"
"Yours."
"What?"
"If you hadn’t quoted Shake sphere , you wouldn’t be here."
"Yeah, I know ,you would have kill me." She glowers.
"Right on your first guess." I nod. "Impressive you realized that."
"So, what’s your plan?"
"Plan?" I raise my eyebrows .
"Yeah , the hell are you planning, transporting me to God knows where? Why didn’t you kill me like you should have?"
"I’m the one asking the questions,bellezza."
"Do you know that you suck in giving me insults in italian?"
I blow out a breath. "You English think a word in any other language is an insult."
"Wasn’t it."
"No."
"Okay then ,tell me what it means ?"
"Now that you ruined ,I don’t think it matters."
"What about what you called me earlier?"
“What I did call you ?”
“You called me Pretty Face”
"You are one of a hell annoying lady . I liked you better with my tongue in your mouth." I lower my head and she arches away. She tugs at my grasp. I release her chin and she faces forward.
"Don’t even dare try to kiss me again."
"You liked it, right?"
"No."
"Don’t lie."
"I am not .
"Wanna try again. I am more than happy to go another round." I allow my lips to curve, "It’s as good a way as any to pass the time."
I coil a strand of her hair around my fingers, bring it to my nose. Lavender and vanilla with a dash of hot spice
"So, what do you say?"
"Go to hell,you jerk ."
"Been there, and I’m not in a hurry to repeat the experience."
"Do you have a rejoinder for every insult?" She huffs.
"Do you always argue with your captors?"
"I’ve never been kidnapped before.’
I am not gonna lie but the truth is , she’s not the first I have abducted. She’s the first whose life I am sparing , Why the hell? Why would I do that?I need to take control of this situation. Of whatever it is that stretches between us. Need to snap out of this connection.
"Never been at loss of words before, huh?" Triumph tinges her tone, and warmth curls in my chest.
My heart begins to thud, my pulse rate ratchets up, and even before the words are out of my mouth, I know I am going to regret it.But fuck that. I am Italian enough to not mess with forces beyond my comprehension. When I had set out this morning to take her life, I haven’t realized that it would be mine I was forfeiting. Too little, too late. I am helpless, and I have to take the next step. Else we’ll both be left hanging between the edge and a dark place, and to hell with that. I’ll make the decision and be damned. Pay the consequences wit no choices. This is it. It has to be this way. There is no other option.
"I’ve never had to choke a woman into complying before."
"What the hell are you talking about ?" She yells and whips her head around.I wrap an arm around her neck then grab the bicep of my other arm.She struggles, kicks out, manages to free a leg and sinks her knee into my thigh. Pain laces my nerve endings. Don’t judge me.My tastes have always been at the edge and this... This has pushed them past a point of no return.I manage to slide my other hand behind her head, apply pressure to the sides of her neck and she goes limp.
"Sleep, Pretty Face ."
Her breathing deepens.
"Good girl." I cradle her close, whisper my knuckles over her cheek. "When you awaken, you will have a new start."
VioletI heard whispering and scraping of something smooth against the back of my thighs .While I try to regained my consciousness ,the masculine scent of musky,sandalwood and a hint of cedar filled my lungs . The snap and crackle of a fireplace. Warmth creeps up my fingers and my toes. I turn toward it, snuggle in against the hard unrelenting surface. Him. He is near. He had crawled into the back of the car with me, had wound his big body around mine and he’d choked me until I had fainted. I crack open my eyelids and the world swims in my line of sight."How dare you do this to me ?" I cough. "You knocked me out, you obnoxious bastard .""Well I guess I am not a freak anymore but rather a bastard,and sleep haven’t solved your aggressiveness , huh?" A lean arm appears in front of me, holding a glass of water. "Drink up ."I purse my lips, gulp, glare from the glass of water to his handsome, gorgeous, ugly-mean features."Do as I say or I will shove it down your throat myself ." Hi
AlessioShe looks up at me from under her lashes. Her blond hair stand still on her shoulders, her cheeks flushed, she chews on her lower lip and the blood rushes to my vein. As if I weren’t hard enough already. I drag my arm to the side, force my body to relax.She tips her chin up and her green eyes spark fire. Something hot stabs at my chest. This woman, she’s. a fighter. A survivor, like me. Who will break first? Me or her? It has to be her. It will be her, if it’s the last thing I do.But I want more. I need her open and thirsting for what only I can give her. I have to own her, body and soul, until her every emotion is mine to read. Her every thought is mine to see. Her every wish is mine and only mine to grant. If I so deem it.I pulled her back and swoop her down ,digging my fingers into her hair and tug as her head arches ,I wrap my other hand around her neck .This was too canal ,it was not how I intended it to be .I thought I was in control in all of this but I was wrong,A
Violet I didn’t understand this guy ,one minute funny and another minute completely arrogant.He was an emotionally unstable prick who felt like he owned me and can order me around but I will show him.As much as I hated him ,I found him very attractive ,I want to have his full and complete focus, to be the cynosure of all that smoldering, melting scrutiny. To have his fingers dig into my skin, my aching core.The hell is wrong with me? He’d wanted me. Despite what he’d said earlier, he’d enjoyed what I’d done to him. Perhaps, too much? Had I scared him away? A low chuckle catches in my throat. Am I being delusional? Me, the woman who had practiced blow jobs by watching them on the internet …and the erotic novels I’ve been reading since I turned fifteen. Don’t judge. Well, as much as a teenage girl had been able to access, that is. God bless the internet. Alessio We have arrived at my Island a few hours ago but I stared at the camera is pointing at the bed at the woman sleeping o
Alessio He steps back, shuts the door behind him, and I turn to my brothers, "What the hell are you guys doing here ?""Someone’s pissed,"Fabian murmurs."Think big brother, here, isn’t getting enough?" Alessandro smirks.“Maybe he isn’t satisfied enough with what he has ?After all ,quality over quantity ,isn’t that what they say ,” Fabien said as he precedes the other one further into the room.I stared at the three of them prowling around my space.Alessandro lowers himself into a chair and props his feet on the coffee table,Fabian sinks into a couch ,“I thought you were suppose to be in London ?” Fabian jerks his chin at me ,“I was ,”“Is it because of a woman you had to return so urgently ?”I hold his gaze and didn’t say anything else .“I knew it !” Alessandro exclaimed .”It always have to be lady who pus him in such a scrappy mood”“Well it not only my mood which is going to be in scrappy mood soon” I bashed out .I hold his gaze, don’t say anything else."Knew it," Fabien
Alessio"To our Capo," Carlos fixes his gaze on mine, "and to the alliance with the Seven.""The Seven?" Alessandro turns to me, "That’s who your new bride is related to?"I tilt my head, "Is that a problem?"He scratches his chin, "Amongst them all, they own most of the UK and parts of Silicon Valley too, I hear." He fixes his gaze on me, "Ambitious, are we?""Well as long as it is not my life ,there is not a problem." He raises a shoulder. "And I assume this has to do with getting access to enough connections to consolidate your position with the other families?"Alessandro really is smart. He got this all figure without me saying a word."So," Fabien glances between us, "when do we get to meet your new bride?""At the wedding," I murmur"What?" Alessandro blinks. "We don’t get to meet her before?""No.""Don’t you trust us with her?" Carlos drawls."Never." I fold my arms across my chest."Aww that is sad ." Alessandro smirks. "The way you’re acting, you’d think you have her h
AlessioThe hair on my forearms rises. All of senses was being alerted. I swivel around and catch her around the waist, lift her off of the ground."You are a such a coward. I bloody hate you," she snarls, then swings her fists. I duck. I must be losing my touch, for her knuckles graze my jaw, My groin tightens and my balls ache. I tighten my grip around her. "Stop.""How dare you take the advantage of insulting me …you…Loser?"A chuckle trembles up my throat and I swallow it. "Calm down.""Let go of me.""No."She goes still."No?""Not until your blood pressure drops back to normal.""The only person I see having a bloody cardiac is you." She brings up her knee. I twist my body to the side, she catches me in the thigh, and damn it, but my cock instantly lengthens. The hell is wrong with my reactions, that I can’t control myself around her?"Back off, Pretty face or you’ll regret it."She makes that noise deep in her throat, that sound of anger and frustration that sends sparks down
Violet I can’t believe that he spanked me .After he left ,I ignore the clothes on the bed just as he has ignored me earlier ,Yeah we both can play hat game,If he thinks I am going to obey him like a pet after what he did to me ,he sure don’t know who I am.I don’t care if he decided to spank me again ,might as well do it then follow his orders . I had marched over to the closet, then pulled on the first dress I had come across—this knee-length dress in red, which I absolutely hate, but whatever. It’s something to cover myself up with. There had been enough clothes in the walk-in closet… Most of them seemed new, along with underclothes that were made of the finest laces…and decadently cut. And all the clothes fit me... no doubt about it, they were to my measurements, how the hell had he managed that? How had he gotten them delivered here so quickly? I'd run my fingers over the fabric of the dresses in the closet. Everything is exquisite. Even if they have been bought off the shelf th
Alessio“Please forgive my smallest stepbrother ,he can be very annoying at times”Alessandro grabs her palms and brings it up to his lips.I can’t believe he is strictly y defying my orders ,I strictly warned all of my brothers not to touch her ,next to him Fabien shuffles his feet.“Sandro, we should leave “"What’s the hurry?" He drawls in a tone that ensures that I can hear it.Clearly, he is testing me. I roll my shoulders, take a step forward. Then stop. It won’t do to give away what I feel…which is…a confusing set of emotions that sits heavy in my gut.I take in her face, her gaze alight as she glances up at him. No doubt, her attention is captured by the bastard’s beautiful countenance. It’s what makes people trust him, that is, until he pulls the rug out from under them.Alessandro’s smile widens. His gaze dips to her lips, down the slope of her breasts—and I snarl low in my throat.He laughs."Why,principesa, it’s going to be delightful to get to know you.""Didn’t I tell you
VioletAt least, last night, he had come to bed at midnight, and I had woken up enough to wrap myself around my husband and fall asleep. He’d kissed me tenderly, had run his hands down my body, aroused me to fever pitch, only to slip my nightgown and my panties aside and slide his fingers into me. He’d slid down my body, eaten me out, then he’d risen over me and pinched my clit as he’d commanded me to come. And I had. I had shattered right there, and then, promptly fallen asleep, sated.It was almost noon when I woke up to find a letter on his pillow, asking me to peek out of the window. I had, and had cried out when I had seen a car… Not just any car, a Maserati. A twin of his…but in black, with a red line running across its side, and wrapped up in a bow. It’s my car. My car! OMG! I had showered, changed, eaten a late breakfast, then rushed down to examine my new toy.It is beautiful, with sleek lines that remind me of him, a color dark enough to hint at his growly personality, and a
Violet It’s six days to the Christmas party, and I am almost done with the projects I have undertaken. My dress is done. So is the other outfit I have been working on. My morning sickness is also almost gone. And if I have to stay another day cooped up in here, I am going to go stark, raving mad. Clearly, the lack of sex is getting to him. Since our tryst on the terrace, I have not seen him at all. If he does sleep at night… It, clearly, isn’t in the bed next to me, as his side of the bed remains untouched when I awake in the mornings. He hasn’t been in the room, as far as I can tell. Which means he is sleeping somewhere else. Likely, in his office atV enom. Is he also sleeping withsomeone else there? But he said that he wasn't screwing anyone else. He wouldn't lie to me, would he? I tighten my fingers and Andy yowls in protest.He flicks out his baby claws and I yelp as he scratches me. I release him and he jumps down to the floor, then walks away with his tail high in the air. I
AlessioI draw in a sharp breath, glance at him. "What are you trying to say, Alessandro?" I say in a soft voice."Just that you are no longer Alessio, the Capo of the Cosa Nostra.""I’m not?" I frown.He nods, "You are a husband and a father-to-be, too… Roles which you, clearly, place a lot more importance on than just being the leader of our clan."I blink, "If you mean I am neglecting my duties as the head of the clan—""I mean that you are taking a bigger picture into view. You are looking to the future, and for the first time, you are planning with peace in mind, rather than a short-sighed chance to gain the upper hand."I rub the back of my neck, "Is that a backhanded compliment? If so—""It’s not a compliment. It’s a fact." He folds his arms across his chest. "You want to ensure that you neutralize any possible threats against your family. It’s understandable. It’s why you went ahead and met with two of our fiercest rivals. It’s why you didn’t breathe a word about it to anyone
Alessio "I hear your wife’s throwing a Christmas party?" JJ Kane, the head ofThe Kane Company, tilts his head, "That’s the thing with women. They have to make their presence felt, don’t they?"I curl my fingers into fists at my sides. How dare he talk about her? And how the hell does he know about the Christmas Party? Invitations had only been extended to my brothers, my father and my Nonna. And yeah, Beauty had insisted that Isabelle and Aurora be included.Initially, I had refused her and she had pleaded with me. She had batted those big, green eyes at me and I had been a goner. Of course, I had agreed. Isabelle is loyal, no question. And Aurora? She knows better than to open her mouth about anything she sees and hears. There’s no way either of them would have spoken to anyone about the event. My brothers wouldn’t have breathed a word to anyone… Nor would Nonna. As for the Don... Well, much as I don’t trust him, given he knows that Violet is pregnant with his grandchild, not even
Violet We didn't get to the dessert, after all. After I came, he'd taken off his shirt and made me wear it over my torn dress. Then he'd scooped me up into his arms and carried me to his bedroom. We hadn't encountered anyone on the way. Not Isabelle, not Pablo. Apparently, his staff knows when to make themselves scarce. And, yep, he broke his own rule for us to have separate bedrooms. I had fallen asleep promptly. When I woke up, he was gone. I had spent the rest of that day working on my dress, with Andy for company. Oh, also I'd moved my things into his room, and he hadn't said anything. It might be because I didn't see Alessio all that day, or for that matter, on any of the days that followed our reconciliation. Isabelle mentioned to me that he has been deep in negotiations with rival clans to restore some semblance of peace in the country. This means that the security around the house has been tripled… Or so she tells me. Not that I can tell the difference. For all practical
AlessioThis woman... The things she says... She never ceases to surprise me. I grip her shoulders to pull her up and she wraps her arms around my neck. "I mean it, Ales," she murmurs, "I want you inside me, one way or the other.""I don’t want to hurt you." I wrap a strand of her gorgeous hair around my fingers, "Right now, your comfort is more important than anything else to me.""And I already told you that I want you."I peer into her face, take in her flushed features, her gaze wide with anticipation; those green eyes stare back at me and in them is a look of feverish need. I wrap my fingers about the back of her nape and bring her forehead to mine, "Any other time, if you weren’t pregnant, I’d not deny this to you, but right now, given your condition, it’s not something I can give you.""Alessio," she pleads, "this is no time for an attack of conscience."I laugh, "Trust me, if it were up to me, I’d be inside you so often you wouldn’t be able to walk straight, but this is not ju
Violet "Dessert?" I blink rapidly. "Is Pablo going to serve us dessert?""He offered to make dolce for us, but I told him to wait. We’ll have it after.""After?" My cheeks heat, "After what?""After..." He lifts me up onto the table, then pushes my legs apart. The dress I’m wearing is pushed up to above my knees. He slides his fingers up my thighs, and I try to squeeze them together."Relax," he murmurs, "I am going to make this so good for you."That’s what I am afraid of.I peer at him from between my eyelashes. "I thought you weren’t going to shag me?""Doesn’t mean I can’t pleasure you," his eyes gleam, "while I feast on you."A pulse flares to life between my legs. It mirrors the beat of my heart, the thud-thud-thud of the blood roaring in my ears as he rises to his feet. Without taking his gaze off of mine, he leans over and shoves the rest of the crockery aside. The dishes and remaining cutlery hit the ground with a crash that sweeps through me. He eases me onto my back, then
Violet "This is where we’re having dinner," he murmurs as he lowers me into a chair. I take in the crisp white table cloth that covers a table that has been set with silverware for two. The alcove is sheltered from the breeze by a screen on one side. The view itself is undisturbed though, and I glance out at the sea that stretches out into the distance. A cool breeze tugs at my hair. I tuck the strands behind my ear, turn back to the table arrangement. There’s a vase in the center of the table with one single perfectly formed black rose, the edges of the petals a blood red. It’s a perfect bloom, unlike anything I have ever seen. He reaches for a blanket that has been placed on a stool by the side. He places it over my lap, then tucks it at the sides. "How does that feel?" "Good," I murmur. "Not too cold? Not too warm?" He nods toward the patio heater, "Should I turn that off?" "No," I pat the edge of the blanket, "I am comfortable, as is." "Good." He reaches for a napkin, shakes
Alessio I walked into the room to find beauty and fabian glancing in my direction, and the expression on her face is laced with guilt. I prowl toward her and she tips up her chin. "Were you talking about me, Beauty?" I murmur and she huffs."My every conversation is not about you.""What were you two talking about, then?""None of your business.""Everything about you is my business," I pause in front of her, "and you’d do best not to forget that."Fabian clears his throat, and I shoot him a sideways glance."We were discussing the Christmas bash," he explains."Is that right?" I turn to her, "That what’s got you tied up in knots, huh?""Exactly," she snickers, "Iam the one tied up in knots." She exchanges a glance with Fabian who chuckles."She’s been worried about finding a DJ for the party. It’s why I offered my services.""You’re going to DJ?" I scowl."Sure," he raises a shoulder, "it’s no biggie. I did it at many of the parties during my university days.""And here I thought y
