Page 27 of Her Cruel One-Sided Love

But this only had Massimo chuckling, and the sound - albeit evenmoreinfuriating than his smirk - also had a noticeably sizzling effect on her flesh.

Oh no.

She wasn't able to get away at all, with Massimo succeeding in imprisoning her against the wall, and his powerfully virile form pressing against her body.

"W-What do you think you're doing?" Ysabel intended to sound tough as she asked this, but her voice came out shamelessly breathless instead.Sei sensa speranze, Ysa! You're hopeless!

Dark eyes glinted down on her, and Ysabel's heart began to pound.

"There's nothing for you to be worried of,signorina.All I wish to do is...apologize."

Yeah right,Ysabel wished she could snarl out. But since that would only be a waste of time, Ysabel tried taking Massimo by surprise instead as she made a sudden move to shove him away. 'Tried' being the operative word, since Massimo's reflexes were far too swift, and the plan completely backfired as she found herself pinned against the wall, her wrists bound over her head.

Questo non va bene! This is not good!

"Let me—-mmph!"Ysabel couldn't say anything else, her brain completely shutting down as Massimo's warm mouth covered hers.

Is this for real?

His tongue stroked past her lips, and fire blazed through her blood.

Real,she realized dazedly. Massimo was truly kissing her, and in the manner that she had forbidden herself to ever dream of.

Aaaah.

Her entire body buckled when Massimo suddenly started sucking on her tongue, and Ysabel was mortified to feel her breasts growing heavy with need. Things were happening too, too fast, but she just couldn't find the strength to push him away, with the way his tongue was wreaking havoc on her senses. And when she felt his other hand slowly trailing up from her stomach, his fingers brushing against the underside of her swollen flesh—-

Knock, knock, knock.

"I know you're in there, Massimo."

Ysabel could only stare in bemusement when Massimo suddenly sprang away from her, and she wondered dizzily if her face also displayed the same telltale flush that was now darkening Massimo's high-boned cheeks.

"I will give you ten seconds to ensure both of you are decent—-"

Ysabel had a hard time focusing on what the person on the other side of the door was saying, and her fingers shook as she touched her own lips.How was it possible that her first kiss was from Massimo? How?

"And then you will kindly open this door—-"

Ysabel finally had the presence of mind to realize the woman outside the door was still speaking, and the voice sounded weirdly familiar.

"Present yourfidanzatato your grandmother—-"

Comprehension dawned, and Ysabel let out a gasp.La Strega?!

"And after which us two women will have somewhere to go."
