All Chapters of The Mafia Don's Sweet Temptation: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Talia’s POVThe rays of sunlight seeped through the slightly opened curtains and fell across my face, forcing me to open my eyes.I shielded my eyes with my palm as I turned to the other side of the bed and glanced at the digital clock on the bed stand, it was 9:45 AM. I’d overslept again—if you could say that. For the past couple of hours, before we slept, Lorenzo and I had done nothing but have sex at every given moment. I couldn’t remember the last time we had a proper conversation and for the life of me, I didn’t mind. We would have the time to talk later but our wants had to be satisfied before anything else. I heard the shower running, Lorenzo was taking his bath. He’d probably just woken up as well. We were up for most of the nights taking turns on ourselves—or more like he was taking it out on me. I touched the back of my neck and winced. Lorenzo had grabbed onto it a little too tightly a few hours ago but I didn’t have it in me to complain. He loved his sex rough and whil

Talia’s POV“There’s something I never did ask beforehand, Lorenzo.” I began as we drove through the city, heading towards one of his favorite places to shop. We were due to fly back home the next day and Lorenzo had decided to take me shopping. “Am I going to regret whatever it is you plan on asking?” Lorenzo inquired not bothering to look at me as he fixed his gaze on the cars and stores we drove past. “You’re making it seem like I’m holding a gun to your head. I’m not a bad person, you know that, right?” I frowned as I glanced at Lorenzo for a moment. “Learn to take a joke, Talia.” Lorenzo chuckled. “You’re too uptight. You need to loosen up.” I drummed my fingers on my lap as Lorenzo maneuvered his way out of traffic. “Well, you should learn to make jokes at the appropriate time.” “So what was it you wanted to ask again?” Lorenzo masterfully steered away from the potential argument. He had been in a good mood all day and it rubbed off on me.“I was going to ask if you plan o

Talia’s POVI couldn’t stop thinking about everything that transpired on the way home. Lorenzo had changed my number as soon as I crossed the gates of his home on my first night and I wondered how John had managed to get that number. A small part of me regretted ever trying to save his life. Maybe I wouldn’t be bothered by my past. After learning the truth about who he truly was, I was wary about being in the same space with him. I had zero knowledge about things involving the mafia world but if John hadn’t fled from the city yet, it meant he had something he was doing here, and knowing John, he was definitely up to no good. “We’re here, miss.” The driver said. I’d been lost in thought that I didn’t realize we were in the driveway of the mansion. “Thank you,” I managed to give him a small smile before making my way out of the car and into the building. I heard hushed voices speaking as I made my way up the stairs. There was no sign of Lorenzo and I figured he hadn’t returned hom

Talia’s POVI felt a wave of anger consume me as soon as I heard his voice. He should’ve taken the hint from the last time we spoke but he didn’t. John was like a pest who didn’t know when to call it quits and maybe I was partly at fault for his excesses because if I had allowed Lorenzo to beat him to death or informed him that John came after me a couple of hours ago, he wouldn’t have reached out to me. “I know what you’re thinking and I’m sorry, Talia. But before you do or say anything rash, I want you to hear me out first. You need to hear my side of the story before you make any conclusions.” John said in an urgent tone. “You’re a pathological liar, John. Why the hell would I be interested in hearing anything that comes out of your mouth after you lied to me during the entire course of our relationship?” I asked. “Whoever I was didn’t change the fact that I was in love with you, Talia. I still am, my true identity was a lie but my time with you wasn’t.”That was it. I was fed up

Talia’s POVI couldn’t stop the blush from creeping up my cheeks. We were lying on the cold tiles in the corridor, staring out at the starry sky. “I’m not going to be able to look your staff in the eyes anymore,” I groaned. “You’ll get used to it, I assure you.” Lorenzo laughed, pushing himself to his feet as he walked into the room and I followed suit. “That’s going to be very uncomfortable, Lorenzo.” I pulled the robe tighter.“For what it was worth, you wanted me to fuck you out there, Talia. You were quite impatient like you couldn’t wait for it.” I clamped my mouth shut because he was right. I lost control of myself as soon as his hands touched my skin. “I told you I would come to you when I was done,” Lorenzo chuckled. “You were supposed to be with me two hours ago,” I argued. “I lost track of time, I’ve been busy with the spy I discovered amongst the guests today.” Lorenzo shrugged. A spy? My heart suddenly dropped into my stomach. A small part of me wondered if John ha
