♥ Chapter 18♥

Isabella Conti.

While she's helping me, I don't hesitate to show myself completely to her. There's no shame between us, just a deep trust and friendship that overcomes any embarrassment.

''My God, you look stunning, love. ''Gabi admires me with a radiant smile. ''I've done an excellent job.

''Thank you, Gabi. I can't believe that's really me. "I thank her, staring at my reflection in the mirror with admiration.

She smiles tenderly.

''You're already beautiful, love. I just added a little touch; that's your beauty. '' Her eyes shine with pride. Don't forget to put your pants on.

I let out a giggle.

'' I wasn't going to forget. '' I joke, heading to the closet to get the underwear to match the dress.

While I'm getting dressed, Gabi brings out a pair of black high heels, and she carefully helps me put them on.

''There, my work of art looks wonderful,'' Gabi says with a satisfied smile.

''Thank you. I think I should go now. "I looked at the clock, which read exactly eight o'clock.

'' Yes, but first... '' She picks up the bottle of perfume and sprays a little on me. ''Now, you can go.

Before we leave the room, I grab my cell phone out of my bag, while Gabi runs to her room in search of her purse. As I check the messages, I see one from an unknown number.

Message:

Unknown: I'm already waiting for you down here, my precious. <20:00>

I swallowed. Did he really find out my number? My God, what a scary man! And to make matters worse, he knows where I live. Jesus.

'' Here you go, love. '' Gabi hands me her bag. '' You can go; I'm rooting for you.

I force a small smile.

''Thank you.

I thank her again and leave the apartment, with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation bubbling up inside me.

Luckily, the elevator arrived quickly. I get in and press the button, closing my eyes and taking several deep breaths. He's already here waiting for me, my God. I'm so nervous about seeing him again.

The elevator doors open once more, and I step out, walking a little slowly since I don't usually wear heels. As soon as I get out of the building, I see a black car stopped right at the door, and the man who held me in that alley opens the door for me. I'm surprised to see him sitting there, waiting for me.

"Come in, precious. "His voice is soft, but I know it's also an order.

I swallow and approach the car, carefully getting in and sitting next to him. I'm surprised to smell his perfume. It's so delicious.

'' You look extremely beautiful, my precious. '' His compliment makes me blush, especially with his gaze fixed on me.

"Thank you. You look handsome, too. '' He smiles slightly.

'' That's nice; I'm glad my precious things I'm handsome. '' His lips brush against my neck, making me shiver. '' I'm extremely obsessed with your scent, precious.

Your warm breath on my neck leaves me speechless.

''Thank you, Alessio. '' He lets out a growl, scaring me a little.

''I'm going to get even crazier. ''He whispers, leaving me confused.

He straightens his posture and crosses his legs.

''I hope you have a good time tonight, precious. ''He just said that and didn't say anything else.

My eyes run over every detail of the suit he's wearing, as if it were molded to highlight every curve and muscle of his body. It's as if the garment itself bows to his presence, highlighting his imposing and seductive figure. I feel my heart racing as I notice the way the fabric hugs her contours, awakening an uncontrollable desire within me.

My eyes couldn't turn away from him; my gaze fixed on every fold of the fabric and every line that outlined his figure. Each time my eyes wander over his body, I capture more details, from the elegant cut of the suit to the pulsating veins on his neck-so eye-catching and so tempting.

And when my eyes meet his face, I realize how irresistible he is. His jaw is jutting out, emitting a virile aura that seems to hypnotize me. His hair is so perfectly groomed that I can hardly resist the urge to run my fingers through it. Is it as soft as it looks? And his beard-rough or smooth to the touch? Every thought that pops into my mind makes me wonder what exactly he's hiding under his impeccable façade.

'' Isabella, if you keep looking at me like that, I'm going to tell them to stop this car, and I'm going to fuck you right here.

The impact of his words echoed inside me, making me blush instantly and making my stomach churn with a mixture of shock and excitement. I quickly looked away, feeling my face burn as I struggled to control the avalanche of emotions that hit me.

''S-Sorry. ''My voice came out in a shaky whisper, unable to face him again. I turned my attention back to the window, trying to ignore the intensity of his presence next to me.

A whirlwind of thoughts invaded my mind, blending into a tangle of confusion and desire. How could I have been so reckless as to stare at him so openly? Fear and excitement intertwined inside me, leaving me breathless at the dominating aura he emanated.
His firm hand gripped my chin, forcing me to face him, and my eyes met his, trapped in a mesmerizing trance. The intense glow in his dark eyes seemed to penetrate my soul, leaving me breathless at the intensity of his presence.

'' Don't apologize, precious. I like knowing that you desire me. But I just don't like losing control. '' His deep, seductive voice resonated inside the car, sending shivers down my spine. A sigh escaped my lips as his tongue traced a tempting line over my lips, leaving me disoriented by the unexpected contact.

Oh my God! I could barely process the whirlwind of sensations that enveloped me as he spoke.

''Tonight we'll get to know each other better, my precious. ''He pulled away from me, leaving me shocked at his audacity. The heat still radiated from where his hand had touched my face, and my heart hammered in my chest as I tried to catch my breath after this brief contact.

Every gesture and every word seemed to form a puzzle, and the picture that emerged was clear: Alessio was interested in me. His lips brushing against mine, the affectionate nickname, the penetrating gaze, and now that cheeky gesture of licking my lips-everything points to the same place. He wants me as much as I want him.

Now, in front of this dinner, anything can happen. What does he have in mind? This evening promises to be full of surprises.

Alessio awakens sensations in me that I never imagined possible. His intense gaze, his delicate touch, his deep voice-everything about him moves me in a way I can't explain. It's as if he's touching a part of me that was dormant, awakening desires and emotions that I didn't even know existed.

Being close to him is like being in a whirlpool of sensations, where every moment is charged with electricity and expectation. It's an emotional rollercoaster, but strangely, I don't want to get off it. I'm willing to give myself over to this whirlwind of feelings and find out where it's going to take me.
