“Yes, I helped him start this business. I met him when I was a young boy and he helped me sometimes with Enzo. I’ve always been grateful to him, so when he told me about his dream with this place—I assisted,” he explained. I nodded as a warmth spread throughout my heart. He was such a good man even if he never showed it.

“I’ve always wondered; how is it thatyoutook care of Vincenzo, buthe’sthe Don and not you?” I asked, taking another forkful of the noodles and stuffing it in my mouth. That question seemed to have really gotten his attention because his eyes strayed off.

“Let me ask you something,” he began.

I set my fork down and gave him my undivided attention.

“If you were given the choice of your life or mine, tell me, would you die for me?” he asked

“Yes, I would,” I answered with no hesitation. “I told you that I love you.”

He smiled, but it slowly went away, letting me know that he was about to say something serious.

“The Don isn’t my brother,” he explained. My eyebrows came together. I couldn’t stop the tilt of my head as I looked at him.If the Don wasn’t Vincenzo, then that must mean…

“You’re the Don?” I asked, my jaw dropping slightly. This whole time I had been scared of Vincenzo when I should’ve actually been scared of Valentino.

“Is there anything else I should know?” I asked.

“You say you love me. Soon, you won’t,” he muttered. My eyebrows grew furrowed as I stared at him. I didn’t like the words that came out of his mouth, and I could only hope that they weren’t true.

After eating, a new waiter walked into the cabin to grab our dishes, bowing a goodbye once he finished. I watched him earnestly as he turned on his heel and walked out of the cabin, leaving Valentino and I completely alone. I watched as he just stared at me. The atmosphere fogged up with sexual tension.

“Come here,” he finally said. I stood up from the chair and walked over to him. Valentino pulled his chair out slightly. His eyes dropped from my eyes to my breasts just before traveling down to my waist. Being under his heated gaze left me aroused.

My exhilaration only increased when his hand crept underneath the white shirt when he pulled me onto his lap. He smelled so good, and I was loving every inhale.

His hand ran through my hair before he grabbed a handful of my strands and craned my neck back, so I was vulnerable to him. I could feel my bottom right on top of his semi-erect cock. His other hand curled around my waist, pulling me in closer.

I made sure to move my hips against him just to turn him on even more. His hands traveled up my waist to my breasts where he tore the shirt open, leaving a few buttons to fly everywhere. With my breasts now bare, he fondled them, making my eyes roll back.

“The cabin is ours for the night,” he whispered into my ear as my eyes shut. I couldn’t take it anymore. I straddled his waist before placing my lips aggressively against his. He immediately responded, encouraging me to push away his suit jacket.

“Take it off,” I moaned against his lips, growing irritated with his jacket. He chuckled softly before removing it. Suddenly, he erupted in laughter. I frowned. I couldn’t figure out what was so funny.

“Are you laughing at me?” I pouted, breaking our kiss once more. He shrugged his shoulders with a grin on his face before leaning back.

“You are quite aggressive when you’re horny,” he observed. I rolled my eyes and stood up. Pulling my shirt together with my hand, I held it there to keep him from seeing my bare upper-half.

“You’re worse,” I let out.

My embarrassment could be seen as heat crept up to my cheeks. Turning around, I headed toward the door, but I was stopped when he grabbed my arm. I wasn’t sure if it was his intention to make fun of me, but it felt like it.

“I never said I didn’t enjoy it, Bambolina,” he stated. I was no longer in the mood for him, so I just turned back around to walk away, but his hand on my arm wouldn’t allow me to. Letting out a sigh, I looked into his eyes to see that the playful spark he was sporting earlier had evaporated.

“Do you have a condom?” I asked randomly. His expression was quickly replaced with one of mock of a frown. I narrowed my eyes as I watched him. Whatever he was about to say, I knew that he would not mean any of it.

“I completely forgot to bring one. That really sucks, but we can still have fun.” He smirked before leaning down to kiss me. I wrapped my arm around his neck just before I broke the kiss.

“No condom, no sex,” I whispered into his ear seductively. He pulled away from me with furrowed brows.

“What did you just say?” he asked. I shook my head back and forth before hurrying into the bedroom and locking the door behind me.

Valentino was fast, seeing as I soon heard him wiggling the doorknob and knocking on the door.

Laughter filled the room as I allowed myself to make fun of him now. It was very important to me that I return the exact same treatment he had done to me. I knew one day I would be able to get my revenge from the time he left me hanging a few mornings ago.
