“I should have done it on my own,” he grunts. “I caused a lot of damage for everyone when I went after Messina. I didn’t even find him. I stormed one of his casinos looking for him and he never showed up. It was a trap. One of his other enemies came in and shot up the place. Gallo and I made it out alive, but my father knew it was only a matter of time before they found me in Sicily, so he made arrangements for me to leave for the States. That’s when he got the call.” He lets out a dry laugh and looks away for a second. “I can’t believe how all of this has come full circle.”
“What do you mean?” I ask. His muscles tense as he looks back at me, jaw twitching.
“Your brother’s guys didn’t take out your attackers, Lil.” He sighs. “I did.”
“What are you talking about?” I whisper. “Why would you…I mean, how did my father even know…?”
“Let’s just say that both of our families have a lot to gain from being partners in this syndicate. Your father was asked to be part of Red Ladro, and he wanted to be sure he could trust the other families. My father didn’t waste a second volunteering me for the hit. It was to kill two birds with one stone. I take care of the Messina problem and it ingratiates us with your dad. Then we all live happily ever after in our sick and twisted gangster world.” He shakes his head. “Except, your father never told us they attackedyou. He only told us about the strong-arming. Said Messina’s crew took out a few of their guys and needed to be taught a lesson for moving in on territories that aren’t theirs. I taught the lesson. And now they’re back to take the fucking test.”
He groans. “Now, here we fucking are. And the people who want to take us out for crippling their lives and their businesses are ready to pounce and crush us once and for all.” And despite everything, a sexy smirk lifts his lips. “But hot sex really is the best way to block out the demons, ya know?”
“Well, if we eliminated them, it’d be even hotter, don’t you think?” I smile, dipping my head toward his.
“What, I’ve turned you into a vigilante now? A vigilante vixen?” He chuckles.
“This is completely insane,” I mutter. “It’s safe to say we’re both being hunted by the same person. Our entire families, for that matter. And yet, I can’t stop thinking about you inside of me.”
“I think that’s a much nicer thought than us all getting iced.” He shrugs. “And for the record, I haven’t really stopped thinking about being inside of you either. I don’t give a damn what your father has to say about it, either. You’re worth the risk and possible castration.”
“Is there something wrong with us? Or is this just another…what did you call it? A defense mechanism?”
“Yeah, let’s call it that,” he says in a husky voice, sliding his palm over my ass. I jump, a fluttering sensation in my belly erupting in anticipation of his fingers navigating a very naughty path that will have me screaming all over again.
God help us if we really are the future of our families.
“We can’t do this,” I whisper breathlessly, my pussy quivering with need. His fingers push inside me once again, flicking my clit as he drags his lips down the slope of my neck.
“We need a distraction,” he murmurs, his lips vibrating my already-tingling skin. “Besides, it’s not like we can do anything right now anyway. We’re safe.”
“I know, but—” My head falls back as his fingers move faster and with more intensity. It’s hard to form a thought right now, and even though my brain is screaming, it’s a bunch of gibberish. Completely undecipherable.
“No buts. Not yet, anyway,” he says with a devilish twinkle in his eye. “We’re just gonna escape for a little while, okay? And I’m gonna make you feel so good, you won’t wanna come back.”
“Yes,” I rasp, praying that he delivers on that promise sooner than later. My body is about to spontaneously combust from the sensations coursing through me.
“Sounds like you’re close to coming,” he says in a warning voice. “Don’t make me punish you, beautiful. I need to be inside of that pussy.”
“I w-won’t. I p-promise.” My words are shaky at best because I’m damn close to tumbling over the edge right now. This crazy and twisted combination of danger, carnal bliss, and fear is like an all-crushing wave consuming me and I don’t know how long I’ll be able to hold out.
His fingers slide out of me for the last time and he picks me up and backs into an armless chair in the room. He sinks into it, with me on top of his lap. His cock stands straight up, perfectly pink and stiff as a corpse. My belly flutters at the beautiful sight, the anticipation of what it did to me such a short time ago making me want to shout out in glee.
I don’t care about the burn. I can fight through that if the pleasure is even half as amazing as it was the first time.
But the threat of him delaying my pleasure is very real and I need to focus on something else to make sure I can hold out for more of this erotic little game.
With lightning speed, he rolls on a condom. Then he lifts my hips and places them over the swollen head of his cock, lowering me onto it. My loud gasp turns into a full-on moan as it fills me up, stretching me wide. I grit my teeth, swallowing the yelp rising in my throat.
Screw the pain and focus on the mind-numbing ecstasy, Lily!
“Remember what I said,” he mutters, his fingertips digging into my hips as he slowly thrusts into me. Each push and pull makes my heart rate soar, and rational thought has officially escaped me.
So much for my plan to hold out.
I fall against him as he plunges deeper, thrusting my own hips against him to create a delicious friction. And when his thumb joins the action, pressing against my clit, I almost let out a howl, it feels so incredible.
“Don’t do it,” he hisses against my ear. “I’ll stop if you do.”
My head falls into his shoulder as he plunders and plows, and he grabs one of my legs, looping his arm under it for leverage to drive into me even harder. Oh, sweet Jesus, he must know how hard he’s making this for me.
