♥ Chapter 24♥

Isabella Conti.

I can hardly believe what has just happened. All I wanted was to get home safely, but I ended up having the most intense night of my life with Alessio. I've never been so attracted to someone; my body cries out for him as much as my mind. When he revealed that he was a mobster, it only confirmed my suspicions, but when he said that I would be his queen, I was shocked. The idea of giving myself up completely scares me; the scars of my past still ache in my heart. I'm afraid he'll tire of me and leave me for someone more experienced.

Never before has someone desired me with such intensity as he does. His kisses consume me, making me submissive to his touch. I want to understand this overwhelming attraction that has enveloped us in such an inexplicable way. His every touch seems to send an electric current through my body. I never imagined that I would have such an extraordinary night next to a mafioso, a man who could eliminate me with a simple snap of his fingers.

''You're so thoughtful and precious. ''I felt my skin crawl with his voice close to my ear.

I'm still confused by all this, this overwhelming attraction, and this desire I feel for him. And especially with him bathing me as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

'' Just thinking... Everything that's happened. '' He turns me to face him, and every time I meet his deep eyes, my body heats up.

He's incredibly attractive, my God.

''You don't have to worry about anything else, darling. You're mine, and I'm yours, simple as that. I don't see any obstacles. '' I was about to ask, but he just kissed me.

I can't resist his kisses; he has the power to make me submissive with just one touch of his lips.

''There's nothing to worry about. Just concentrate on me. '' His gaze is firm, and I realize he means it.

''I-I... I'm scared, Alessio. '' I confess, looking away from the bathroom floor.

I feel the tip of his finger on my chin, forcing me to face his dark eyes that seem to penetrate my soul.

'' Tell me. What's your fear? "His voice conveys order.

I bite my lip at his intimidating aura.

"I... I'm only twenty... I'm afraid of giving my heart away and being hurt again... Even though I asked you to break up with me. I'm still afraid. It all seems like a dream, Alessio. Someone is desiring me so intensely... I know you're a dangerous man... I admit I'm afraid of getting involved with you, and my friends will become targets because of it.

Furthermore, I felt tremendously anxious in the face of his silence, especially with him staring at me so intensely.

"I understand your fear, darling. But you don't have to worry about that. '' He straightened his posture. ''I am the master of this city; I know who comes in and who goes out. If I see that your friends are in danger, I'll send my best men to protect them. You'll be safe with me; no one is foolish enough to betray me. But let me tell you something, darling. I'm crazy enough to kill for you.

My eyes widened at this confession.

''I-I don't want you to kill anyone for me, Alessio. '' He just smiled sideways, as if I'd said the funniest thing in the world.

''All right, darling. ''He kissed my forehead. ''Now let's finish the shower before I lose control again and give you another delicious oral.

A shiver ran through my skin at his words. I confess, I was looking forward to our next intimate encounter.

He laughed, taking me by surprise.

''W-What? ''I was pressed against the wall.

''I can understand your anxiety, darling. ''He sniffed my neck as the water fell over our bodies. ''But next time will be completely different.

I blinked a few times, confused.

''Different? ''He licked my lips, increasing my anxiety.

"Yes, because this time I'll have you all to myself. "He kissed me.

His kiss was overwhelming, and our tongues entwined in a passionate dance. Every movement was an explosion of desire and surrender.

We broke apart due to a lack of air and stood there, staring at each other intensely, while I saw the glint of lust in his eyes.

"Come on, you need to eat. "He pulled away from me, stepping out of the shower, and I could see that he was aroused. It was obvious that he was holding back for me. Alessio understood that I wasn't ready to give myself completely to him. I was happy that he respected my time, but I didn't know how long it would last.

'' Come on. '' He held out his hand.

I stepped out of the shower and took his hand, feeling him wrap a towel around my body. He handed me a clean brush.

''Thank you. '' I looked at my reflection in the mirror, seeing that my hair was wet.

Damn. But at least it was easy to fix. I noticed Alessio watching me as if I were the most precious jewel in the world. I didn't even dare look in the mirror again. Likewise, I just brushed my teeth, trying to look calm, but I was embarrassed by his intense gaze on me. My every move was accompanied by the sensation of his eyes on my skin, as if he could read my every thought. It was intimidating, but at the same time exciting, to feel his attention so focused on me. Never before had I been so observed by someone, not even by my ex-boyfriend.

Alessio aroused sensations in me that I had never experienced before, making me discover a new world of emotions and desires. Every look and every gesture of his seemed to unveil unknown parts of myself, making me aware of an irresistible magnetism that existed between us. It was a new and exciting experience, even if it was a little frightening.

He moved closer, standing right behind me.

''I can't stay away from you. ''He whispered in my ear. Everything you do is sexy in my eyes. I want to keep an eye on you all the time, watching your every move, Isabella. '' My breath caught in my throat. ''You drive me crazy; you make me lose all control.

'' A-Alessio... You need to control yourself. '' He licked my neck.

"Yes, you're right. "He pulled away from me. "Go on, there are clothes in my closet for you. Choose what you want to wear. I need to relax a bit before I go out.

I understood what he meant, and I felt my face flush at his boundless audacity.

"Right. "I left the bathroom with my heart racing.

This man is dangerous, my God. I'm so embarrassed at the thought of him masturbating right now. I swear, I'm going to freak out, God.
