LOGINI awoke the next morning, feeling exhausted, and cocooned securely in the ring of his arm. I gently caressed the back of his hand, and rested my hand on his arm. He moved under my touch, pressing his hard body against mine. I felt his lips pressing against my temple. "Mi esposa! Te amo hasta la luna y más allá, vida mía." He whispered huskily in my ear. My eyes shot open. I turned in the ring of his arm, looking at him with wide eyes. "Is this because I was a virgin?" I asked him, almost shouting in exasperation. Suddenly, I felt furious as I glared at him. His eyebrows pulled together and he shook his head. "I love you from the very first moment I saw you, Wife." He said as he kissed the top of my head. I relaxed in his arms, resting my head to his chest. I heard his steady heartbeat , while my heart was running in my chest. Why did I agree with him so easily? I should be furious. "Are you hurt anywhere?" He asked, looking worried, stroking my back
Amateo was abruptly yanked back and tossed aside like a crumbled paper. I lifted my gaze and who I saw astounded me more. Vene coldly glared at his brother, his lips pressed into a thin line. I thought I was home alone, so I wanted to go for a walk. Then Amateo saw me and began to taunt me about my training. "Your hands should only be used to protect her." He growled at his brother, something in a foreign language. I watched them with a dropped jaw. Was he defending me? I could have anticipated this from Russo, but I realized Vene wouldn't harm me. "What! We were just training. You killed the fun, man." Amateo said, rubbing his shoulder, looking in slight pain. Vene shook his head and looked down at me. "Are you alright?" He asked me. I nodded my head immediately. "Yes, thanks." I muttered to him. Vene's gaze travelled down to my clothes, and a deep frown appeared on his forehead. Nervously, I chewed on my lower lip. I w
I was dreading the idea of facing my seething husband. Since that night, I hadn't seen Matt and Fabio. I feared for them. His anger would lash out at them, because they were my bodyguards. My thoughts nervously shifted to facing him, enduring his wrath again. He didn't return home after that night. I prayed he wouldn't show up in the dining room either. I couldn't refrain him from going and coming into his own home. I was nothing more than a decorative piece of his room. With my heart beating in my throat, I climbed down the stairs. I glanced around. My hands shivered. Night had already fallen, I kept myself locked into his room, starving. I couldn't endure it anymore. I stopped dead in my tracks as I noticed his menacing gaze already fixed on me. I lowered my gaze as I forced myself to climb down the remaining steps. Everyone was already seated. Vene was focused on his laptop while waiting for dinner to be served. I avoided looking at Amateo. He would find m
He grabbed my hand and tugged me out of the hotel towards the parking lot. It was midnight. Our surroundings were less crowded. I was startled, hearing a sudden noise. His soft smile never left him. "It's my phone." He said and reached into his pocket, pulling out his phone. He glanced at the display. "I need to take this." He said under his breath, his hand slid off my lower back as he walked away to answer the call. "What's it?" His voice turned icy. I felt a void without his touch as my gaze followed him. He turned his back to me. I watched him, admiring his muscular body. I shouldn't be drawn to his god-like appearance, he was a dangerous, and ruthless person. "Hello," A gruff voice startled me, spinning me around on my heels. My wide eyes stared at him. A man in a dark hood stood beside me and forwarded another stride. He was too close. His eyes were dark. Indeed, I couldn't make out much of his features as shadows fell across his face. I instinctiv
According to my brothers I was stepping into the lion's den. My father remained silent all the time, not objecting to my wedding at all. I swallowed down my saliva as I entered his office. I stood in front of his mahogany desk. I exhaled exhaustingly. He should be in his office. They acted calm and gentlemen around me, particularly my brothers. I was aware their real faces would be disturbing for my mental health. My past haunted me. I kept it to myself. No amount of training could wash away the fear I had endured. I spun to leave, noticing his office was empty. I was startled by his sudden appearance behind me. My hand shot to my running heart. He frightened me. Was he hiding in his office? I didn't see him while entering or I didn't hear the door opening behind me. "You need to stop doing that." Russo said, flattening his lips as he walked over to his desk and reached for his files. "It's your fault. You should make some noise when you walk."
A cool evening breeze blew across the garden area, providing relief from the summer heat. I closed my eyes. I missed my family, my mother and aunts. "You want some cookies?" Matt asked me, extending a plate towards me. Fabio kept staring in a particular direction, he appeared more at ease here. I could understand that he was home, surrounded by his own people. "No, thank you." I told him, shaking my head politely. "You look a bit down today." Fabio suddenly asked. "I don't know what you're saying." I tried to dodge his concern. Fabio looked at me. "It has been three years. We know what things bring you joy and sorrow. You'll get addicted to your new home." He said. "Why couldn't my husband see this?" I muttered to myself. "We'll take our leave." Fabio suddenly said, pushing himself away from the truck. They didn't wait for my response and began to walk away. "I'll go wit..." I stopped myself as I had a glimps
MAXIMO RUSSO MORETTI After ensuring the back door was secure, I picked up two riffles. I took the stairs, making my way up. In another case, I would have left the door ajar to lure them in. There was no shame in admitting my possessive and protective instincts were heightened when it c
MAXIMO RUSSO MORETTI To suppress my urge to curse in her presence, I kept my lips pressed tightly into a flat line. My furious gaze pinned him. Was this the first time? Had he hit her before? His remorseful expression gave me my answer. The Bianchi brothers cared for their sister.
His menacing and stormy blue eyes were trained on the figure in front of him who was draped into an ivory snowsuit, he was dusted in heavy snow. Amateo aimed his gun as another figure entered the hall. He took off his cap. "Niko!" I exclaimed as a big grin appeared on my face. Moving f
I awoke enveloped in warmth. I stared at the blanket in confusion that was draped around mm. My hand instantly moved beneath my cheek and my palm pressed against constructed abs. I stilled as momentarily holding my breath. My lips parted in shock as my head clouded with last nigh
