Antonio
Istand over herand stare down at her beautiful face, stained with tears and red from crying, but still beautiful.
“But Antonio, should we even be here, though, if they have a hit out on my name? Are you safe?”
“We are both safe here. The people who tried to organize the hit are dead. The person behind it all has been dealt with, and the threat is gone. We have nothing to worry about now.”
“Who was it? Was it your uncle, as you suspected?” she asks, still looking anxious despite my reassurance. I guess I can’t blame her. It has been a very strenuous few days. She has been through a lot.
“It was Lucas. Yes, he was unhappy that he was not the heir. He wanted my position and tried to take it with force. But he underestimated me, which was his own mistake, and for that, he paid the price.”
“And the rest of the family. How do they feel about all of this?”
“The rest of the family has welcomed me, and I'm now established in my position as head of the family. There will be no more issues from here on out. I, of course, will not let my guard down. I still have reservations about certain people, but overall, I believe things have settled.”
She leans into me, resting her head against my chest, and I run my fingers through her hair, letting her scent wash over me and the warmth of her body soak into me.
For the first time in days, I feel calm.
“I thought I lost you. I thought you were dead,” I whisper against her hair, with my eyes closed, taking her in.
“I thought the same thing,” she sighs, and I know she has been as worried as I have been.
“Can I order us some food? And we can just relax here, together, and forget any of this happened. I need to be with you. I just need to have you in my arms,” I ask, wanting nothing more than to have her near me.
“Yes, that sounds perfect. Honestly, I couldn't eat for the last few days. My stomach was in such a knot of anxiety. I never want to experience that again, Antonio.”
I dial downstairs to the hotel reception and place an order for room service. I don’t like the fact that she has not eaten, or that she had to go through any of that. I don’t like that I'm the one who brought her into all of this.
While we are waiting for the food, Seraphina climbs into the shower. I hear her humming from the bathroom, and it makes me smile. I can't believe the impact that this girl has had on me and how much my life has changed since I met her.
In all the world, I never thought I would meet someone who would make me feel this way, who would make me want nothing but just one person. Her.
I mean, obviously, my life has changed in a lot of ways, but somehow, everything else feels meaningless unless she is with me. Without her in my life, everything else feels empty and pointless.
She walks out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, smiling at me as she comes toward me.
She adjusts the towel around her body, letting it fall open to reveal her gorgeous, naked skin. My eyes take her in, and my cock stirs, demanding to be inside her.
She presses herself against me, and I let my hands run over her hot skin.
I'm about to lean down and kiss her when there is a knock at the hotel door.
“Room service,” a voice calls from the other side.
I slap her on the ass. “Go to the room. No one else may see your body but me. Get dressed, we can eat, and then we have the entire night to play.”
She grins, her entire face lighting up in the most mischievous way. She steps away from me and lets the towel drop to the floor. For a moment, she stands revealed, looking me up and down. Then she walks toward the bedroom, and my eyes can't look away from her gorgeous figure.
When she is out of my sight, I go to answer the door and let them in to deliver our dinner.
All the while, I'm waiting for them to hurry and get out again because I don’t think I can wait until after we eat. I want her now. She has teased me in that brief yet very suggestive interaction that my entire body could not take another moment of waiting.
Once the room service is delivered and I have closed the door behind me, I turn and walk toward the bedroom to rip whatever clothing she has put on off her body.
But when I step into the room, she is lying on the bed, on her stomach, with her feet shining in the air. I pull my clothes off right away, staring at her as she tilts her head to watch me. She moves, spreading her long, slender, toned legs apart, teasing me even more.
