All Chapters of Daring Delfina's Heart: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

She was broken. It was the only possible explanation she could come up with, but she was clearly, irrevocably and completely broken.Eight days since she’d woken up after a short nap still naked from the waist down with her blouse missing buttons and her bra pushed down under her breasts, filled with his ejaculate and she was at a loss. Eight days since Furio sent her back home in a car driven by his security team. Eight days of radio silence from him. Eight nights during which every singe one she experienced more than one violently wicked dream of Furio Matrone fucking her a hundred ways to Sunday and then telling her it was never going to happen again.It was also eight days since she’d been able to have an orgasm.As she dropped her vibrator onto the mattress beside her, she kicked the footboard of her bed and gave an impatient shriek. It was two in the afternoon. She was home alone while her parents were at the restaurant, Caprice was filling in her shift so she could get ready fo

Ruggero couldn’t take his eyes off Delfina and even his father’s pointed glance more than once through dinner was not remotely enough to make him stop.She was a breathtaking woman. When he’d stood beside her in the living room earlier while his family apologized for the way they’d all treated her over the years, he was close enough he could smell the scent of her shampoo. He’d been struggling to keep it together since she mentioned in the car how she was sexually frustrated and in thinking of her shampooing her hair, he got to thinking of her in the shower and then trying to please herself and he’d started to get hard standing in a room full of his family.It was clear she remained very uncomfortable despite his sisters and mother’s attempts to lighten the mood. Every dinner Delfina ever ate in his family home in the past, of which he could count on one hand, usually ended up with her being embarrassed by either his mother, sisters or his grandfather. Bitter memories were likely fill

Walking to work the next morning Delfina wondered if she was losing her mind. Ruggero walked her to the door the night before, pressing the sweetest, most chaste kiss to her lips before telling her to get inside before he dragged her back to the car, was on replay.She’d been giddy with excitement and crawled into her bed with the notion a nice man, an actual decent, kind human being, was interested and showing her affection. Then she’d fallen asleep only to dream of wildly wicked sex with Furio. Waking up, she’d been confused, angry and soaked to the skin. When she’d tried to ease her frustration in the shower, once again she unable to climax.She was booked for therapy later this morning. She prayed to whoever listened to her prayers she got bottom of her insanity.Stepping into the kitchen of the restaurant, Delfina barely contained her scream when she flicked the lights on and noted the figure of a man sitting on the stainless-steel counter.“What the hell? You scared the hell out

The following Monday evening Delfina found herself facing Ruggero across a romantic table for two in a fancy restaurant, her fingers lightly gripped in his across the table.“It’s really pretty here.” She looked around at the dim lighting, the chandeliers and all the white table linens. As someone who ran a restaurant with her family, she knew white table linens were extravagant as hell. They used black and red in her restaurant to hide sauce stains and spilled wine.“You’ve not been here?”“No.”He made a face, “he really kept you home a lot, huh.”“Um,” she tugged her fingers away from him. “Can we not talk about him tonight? I feel like I talked too much about him in therapy this morning and I’m all out of Ercole thoughts.”“Of course, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bring him up.”“How do you know of this place?”“Ruggero?” a woman’s voice called out excitedly from behind her. “Oh, my goodness there you are!”“Ambra!”He rose from his seat to enthusiastically hug the woman with the da

In the kitchen at the restaurant Caprice was prepping lasagnes for the day and quizzing Delfina on the date while her mother openly eavesdropped.“And this woman boldly said she was in love with him?”“Yup.”“Because you put it out there in his face?”“Yes.”“And you simply left when she declared her undying love and he seemed flabbergasted?”“Was I expected to stay and fight for him?”“No but you could have punched her in the face or the boob for ruining your date before you at least ate the food at a Michelin star restaurant.” Caprice grunted. “I mean you should have at least eaten food.”Her mother nodded vigorously, “I don’t condone violence but a good slap to the face would have put the woman in her place.”She turned to look at her mother, “Mom!”“I want you to be able to live your life, Delfina. I might not agree with your choices and your refusal to come back to the church but as a mother, all I want is for you to be given the opportunity to be happy. I don’t like this Ruggero
