“Then press the trigger, damn it. I breathe for you and now, I'm giving you the power to end me.”

“You can't do that,” she says.

“Why not?”

“Because you and I know you’re more than capable of overpowering me. Heck, I’m sure you’ve taken men out for less.”

I chuckle. “What do you know of the Mafia world, Pen?”

“Not a lot, apparently.” She swallows and I can see a part of the fear leave her. “I know that you're powerful and you're the boss and if I put a trigger through your heart right now, the cops would be the least thing I'd be worried about.”

I can't help the laugh that comes out right then. In a way, she's right. So like Pen to overanalyze. She breaks into a smile too. Then, because I'm still laughing, she joins me and we're both laughing and suddenly, there's this mountain before us that we're certain we can pass.

I cup her face in my hands and kiss the top of her head. Her hair is in a messy ponytail but she smells and looks so damn good, it has to be criminal. She sighs contentedly when I crush her body to mine.

“I'd never hurt you, Pen, I promise.”

“I like you too much for my own good,” she murmurs against me. “I can't help it, Adriano. I can't help the way I feel for you.”

I tilt her chin up to me and kiss her. She tastes salty from all the tears. I want to kiss her every damn day.

The kiss is different. I can't explain it. Before, when we kissed, there was an invincible line of chastity we didn’t cross because she didn't know the real me. Now, though, with the amount of danger lurking in the darkness, the kiss is fierce. She grabs a hold of my shirt and tugs, pulling me down to her with a force she hasn't used before. Our tongues swipe and thrust each other's mouth. I bite her lower lip and lick off the sting. She moans into my mouth.

I take off my T-shirt. Then, I work on the zipper of her dress, dig my fingers into the curve of her body and peel it off her. She shimmies out of the dress. Her bra and panties are in different shades of red.

Almost as if she read my mind, Penelope quickly says, “I was upset. I was coming to your place to yell and fight with you over the cameras. To end this whole thing. I wasn't…I didn't think…”

“You didn't think we'd fuck?” I like the way her cheeks immediately turn crimson when I say this.

She nods, turning her gaze down to the floor. “Yes, that.”

“You're out of this world,” I tell her because it's true. Her body is divine. No matter how long and hard I look at it, I can never quite get used to seeing the stretch of tanned skin, the creamy undersides of her breasts.

I lead her out to the balcony where the moon shines and sit down on the chair there. She crosses her arms, rubbing the sides of her arms to quell the cold.

I stretch out my hands to her. “Come here.”

She settles on my thighs, sitting sideways just the way I like it. There's a chance we could be seen out here. Personally, I don't give a fuck, but right now, this is all for Penelope.

I want what she wants.

I run my index finger around a firm nipple, tracing the outline from her bra while she squirms, trying to hide how good she feels.

“Stop fighting what you want, Penelope. Tell me what feels good when I touch you.”

“O-okay,” she says in a whimper.

I flick her nipples with my thumb, feel it swell and pinch it. The shudder that goes through her then feels devine. I don’t even need to ask her before she says, “I like when you touch me like that…”

So I do it again and again before skimming my fingers down her body to the band of her panties. I slip my fingers in, watching her face for a reaction and getting one of her flushed expressions.

“You know how I love your tight little pussy.” I hold her close, tighter, and touch her. She’s wet. Dripping even, and when I touch her like this, it feels perfect.

She flips her body to me and straddles me on the chair. “I can’t wait,” she cries out. “I just can’t.”

She helps to unhook my belt and my cock springs free, sitting between us.

Penelope doesn’t take off her panties. I don’t let her. Instead, I use a finger to hook it to the side and watch as she settles her wetness on my already throbbing cock.
