All Chapters of Reckless Love {Dangerous Passion}: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

The strawberry liquid eased its way down my throat into my belly. Had i been a fruity-drink girl all these years and not known it? And if that were true, what else had i not permitted myself to be? Fun?Happy? Satisfied?One sip was enough, however, to make me think about how many calories were in the glass i was holding. And the workout I would have to do tomorrow to burn this drink off. Normally, i would never allow myself to drink anything but bottled water, empty calories were not something i allowed myself to ingest, no matter the occasion, but if ever there was a night to bend the rules, it was tonight.Surveying the crowd, i turned my thoughts forcefully back to the successful party well under way.I knew i should be pleased by how well the evening had turned out, especially considering I had been organizing the ten-year reunion for more than a year. On any other night, i would have been right in the middle of it all, talking about jobs and kids and vacations.Tonight, it was a

Enzo POV.I had not been planning to come back to New York tonight, but my buddies had been hassling me for months to show up at the reunion. “The three of us are the reigning heroes of our graduation class,” was what they kept telling me, I could see the proudness in their eyes, little hint of revenge, and the need to show off what they had achieved in front of those who had looked down on them, trample on their feelings back then and dump them. “It’s up to us to do a victory round, to show all those chicks with their noses in the air what they could have had.”Jasper had said one evening night when we had decided to go out for men's night, we had gone to the busiest bar in town that night, to drink, have fun and take any women who catches our fancy.There was no time for love, it was never in our top ten list, women are something we could get anytime and any day, I could remember our last night at the bar, and something changed my perspective about women, i hate the fact that women

I was sick of hiding from her, Sick of letting her think that she had won, i hadn’t come here with a big plan. Frankly, i still didn’t have one. For all I knew the best thing to do was get the hell out of here, head back to France, try and forget all about her again. All i had to do was get in my car, get on the freeway, and head to the where my private jet and pilot would be waiting the moment I make just one call.But it was time to take care of unfinished business. Namely, proving to myself that diana didn’t have a hold over me anymore. And then I would head back to the country who had open her arms for me, soothe my feelings, made me feel like a human and had made me who iam today, and also to give 100 percent focus to the only thing that really mattered: Good food, radio shows, and my Empire.So i wasn’t going to turn and run, No, I wasn’t going to hide in my spacious modern office, or in my gleaming stainless-steel kitchen, hacking at animal bones with knives sharp enough to do

I shivered at his words, knowing that I didn’t deserve his invitation to revisit our past. His offer was a gift, the most valuable gift i had ever been offered. Far more precious than a diamond bracelet or anything my ex-husband had ever given me.“Yes,” i whispered again,my eyes bright with unforgotten memories. “The lake.”In a twinkle, we ran through the night, traversing familiar, well-worn dirt paths through campus, past the dorms, past the faculty offices, out into the University wild lands. The leather rims of my shoes bit into my heels, my lungs whooshed and pumped for air, my hair fell from its tight ponytail to dance at my shoulder blades. I felt free. Like anything was possible. Like dreams came true. And even though I knew from experience that real life wasn’t ever going to be a fairy tale, tonight i was going to pretend that it could be.Through our clasped hands, Enzo's lifeblood infused me with renewal. Like a vampire, i sucked at his power and let it fill me until the

My hands curved over her perfect breasts, and as i rubbed the taut peaks of her nipples against my palms, I couldn’t believe how good her curves felt in my hands. Her legs wrapped around me and I was lost, drowning in a violent need that i had never been able to transcend.Her sweet tongue did crazy things to my insides, things i had never felt with anyone else, no matter how talented they were with their mouths and their bodies.Erotic memories returned along with renewed desire.“Remember how it used to be?”My fingers began their slow descent from the center of her breasts, past the small clasp at the front of her bra, and Diana's eyes changed color as heightened awareness infused her.“Remember how slow we went?” I said, my voice barely a whisper, full of lust, I let finger play down the center of her rib cage, around her neatly indented belly button. In college she had never let me get very far, but I had finally worn her down enough to let me pleasure her with my fingers. I had
