All Chapters of The Mafia Don's Sweet Temptation: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Talia’s POV“Things aren’t black and white, Marissa,” I said. “You can’t just stroll in here and tell me to come on a trip with you when I don’t want to, it’s an offense and you could be arrested for that especially if I press charges against you.” I was rambling at this point but I didn’t care, I wanted to do anything in my power to stay alone for the rest of the day. I was feeling this load of guilt trying to crush me and I didn’t want any of them to see me when I eventually broke down. “You know you’re saying nonsense, right? And if this is your poor attempt to wiggle your way out of this, it isn’t going to work, Talia. Lorenzo owns you and there’s nothing you can do about it.”I knew that I had slipped up and there was no coming back from this. Courtesy of my recent choices and struggles, I’d let my intrusive thoughts come out and I couldn’t take it back anymore. “The point is, whatever you’re suggesting isn’t something I feel is going to work with me right now given how I feel

Talia’s POVI gripped the armrest with such force that I felt it snap underneath my wrist. The guilt that had once threatened to consume me was back and I didn’t know how to control myself. Realistically, I didn’t know what he wanted to talk about and it could be anything in particular but my mind wouldn’t stop thinking he had found out the truth about everything and he was about to pass judgment on me for betraying him. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.” Lorenzo began as he sat down next to me. “I haven’t been myself all day but it’s only a phase that’ll pass over soon,” I replied. “Marissa mentioned it and I can’t help but feel worried about your present condition. Is there something you’re not telling me?” “You’re worried?” I wasn’t sure I heard him properly the first time so I had to ask again. It didn’t fit Lorenzo’s description to be worried about a slave of his, it was only natural for me to be shocked about this revelation. Was he worried about me or was he worried ab

Talia's POVI didn't want it to stop and neither did he. I welcomed the sensation as he fucked me from behind with reckless abandon. It was what I wanted right now, nothing else. I didn't care if Marissa and Matteo came back at any moment anymore.Suddenly, Lorenzo stopped and lifted me before dropping me on the bed."What are you doing to me, Lorenzo?" I whispered as I stared at him with hooded eyes."Nothing you haven't already imagined at night."His voice was decadent. Smooth. It traveled straight to my toes.With one gentle tug, I pulled him towards me as he towered above me. My body automatically responds to his touch. I could feel the warmth of his breath on my face. His lips hovered just mere inches above mine."I want to make you feel good, Talia." His fingers found the hem of my shirt, inching it up over my stomach."Oh, Jesus," I whispered, making him growl at the back of his throat.He crashed his lips against mine, his fingers brushed the underneath of my bra touching my

Talia’s POVI owed the past couple of years of my life to how I had managed to look out for myself first and like any cautious person, I was ready to do anything to protect myself and my values. Because I had a lot to lose and I could not let that happen again.The protection I relied on was based on just two things. It was the same two things for anybody trying to avoid danger. It was the same way a nation protects itself against an enemy nation, the same way a boxer guards a potential knockout blow, the same way a security guard protects an office against a burglar. It was based on two things. Detection and response. Step one, step two. First, you find the threat, and then you try to eliminate the threat.Step one was the hypothetical warning system. I had managed to make it rehearsed and simplified. It was made up of two layers, like two main gates of a large house. The first gate was thousands of miles away from my current location. It was an early warning sign, telling me someone

Talia’s POV“Come on,” John said, pulling my arm as he dragged me away. “Let go of me, John.” I tried to wriggle my hand away from his grip but he wouldn’t let go.He ushered me into the room and closed the door before turning to face me. “You could’ve waited for me to come back, Talia. I kept you here for a reason and you couldn’t even wait.” John began. “Spare me the blame game, John. You’re well aware that I can’t go missing for too long before I rouse Lorenzo’s suspicions and if that happens, this thing we have together is as good as dead and you fucking know it.” I retorted. “I swore to you that I wasn’t going to put you in danger and my promise is still true. I had to deal with the spy and learn what he knew before coming to you. Besides, you said you had about an hour before your presence would be required, right?” “I have less than fifteen minutes to spend here before I’ll need to leave. This spy problem that you have, is it something I need to worry about?” I crossed my
