my ass into the air, barely giving me time to catch my breath before his mouth latched onto me again, lapping at me like a man starved.
My body trembled, my knees buckling, but then he was there, the steel barbell through the tip of his dick brushing my sensitive, swollen skin.
“Fuck,” I breathed, burying my head into the pillow.
“You’re about to be fucked.” His dark chuckle sent chills racing through me.
Enzo teased me a couple more times, sliding himself through my wetness and nudging my clit. But on the third time, he slammed inside me, making my body jolt forward. I pressed my hands into the mattress, steadying myself.
“Fuck, yeah, Gattina. Mi fai impazzire.”
“More,” I cried, lost to the sensations he stirred inside me.
“Your wish is my command.” Enzo gave me everything, rocking into me over and over as his hands held my hips like he couldn’t get enough. I’d have bruise marks tomorrow, but I didn’t care. All I cared about was him using my body… loving my body in the way only he could. Because I was totally gone for this guy. Head over heels in lust with the guy with ice around his heart and hatred in his soul.
I didn’t think it was possible to fall anymore, until he banded his arm around my waist and pulled me up, my back to his front. His hand slid to my throat and his lips went to my shoulder, kissing and sucking the damp skin there as he slowed his pace.
“Feel me, Gattina,” he rasped. “Feel what you do to me.”
“Enzo…” I panted, my body unraveling around him.
“Nothing… nothing will ever feel as good as this.” His confession splintered me apart. “Yeah, that’s it, Nora. Choke my dick… fuck.” Enzo spilled inside of me, his teeth latching into my flesh as he broke the skin, soothing the sting with his tongue.
“Mine,” he whispered. “Il mio.”
The word slammed into me with renewed clarity.
I wasn’t in lust with this complicated man.
I was head over heels in love with him.
“Nora?” He tilted my face to his and kissed me. “Is something wrong?”
“No.” My lips curved with uncertainty as emotion swelled inside me. “Everything is perfect.”
We cleaned up and climbed in bed. Enzo immediately dragged me into the curve of his body. “We should get some sleep.”
We didn’t know what tomorrow would bring. Nobody did. But Antonio was awake, Enzo was here with me, and there had been no more threats. Still, I knew it was only the calm before the storm. But I truly felt like we could face what was coming as long as we stood together.
So when Enzo’s cell phone started ringing again, fear trickled down my spine.
“Yeah?” He barked, keeping his arm wrapped firmly around my body. “Fuck, okay. Yeah, I’m coming.”
“What is it?” My voice cracked the second he hung up.
“I need to go.” He gently released me, climbed out of bed and started pulling on his clothes. “There’s been another break-in.”
“Where?”
“The VCTI.”
“What?” I shot up and climbed out of bed. “But that doesn’t make any sense. The VCTI isn’t a Marchetti business.” It was the center where Arianne volunteered. I’d helped out there a couple of times too.
“Nicco made a large donation to the center for her wedding present.”
“Crap.” Enzo was right. Arianne had been so excited. There was a press release and everything.
“But the VCTI helps people,” I said, still unable to process what was happening. “Why would anyone—”
Enzo’s expression darkened. “That’s why I need to go, Gattina. This is on me. I should be there.”
“But—”
Enzo cupped the back of my neck and smashed his lips to mine. It was a kiss to end all other kisses, a kiss that felt a lot like goodbye… but I refused to believe that. We were in a good place, we were.
“Promise me you’ll come back to me,” I said, winding my fingers into his t-shirt, my eyes fluttering closed with the weight of my words.
He tilted my face, staring intently at me. “I give you my word.” Enzo kissed me again, softer this time, as if he was tracing the shape of my mouth and imprinting it to memory. “Come with me.” He guided me into the living room and over to the couch as his fingers flew over his cell phone.
Seconds later, there was a knock at the door and Enzo let Maurice inside.
“You stay right here with her. Move another guy to this floor, but you stay right here until I get back.”
