“Oh my God, Rafe. Oh my God.”
“You like that, don’t you,bedda mia? You like when I fuck you with my fingers,mia brava ragazza.”
Her deep groan is punctuated by the sound of her head banging against the piano lid when she arches her neck, and I take a beat to admire the perfect view before me.
The woman of my dreams come to life, and the reality easily surpasses everything my mind had conjured before this moment.
Elodie Rivers is perfection personified.
With her chest thrust forward, her nipples poke up like bullets as she moves against my face. She pumps down onto my fingers with jerky movements, and the small sounds she’s making in the back of her throat fill me with carnal need as I lave hot, wet kisses along her pussy. The scent of her arousal surrounds me, driving me higher, needing more from her.
Needingeverything.
“You taste sublime. I could eat you all day and all night, and still, I’d shamelessly beg for more. Cover my tongue with your sweetness. I’m starving for you.” With the flat of my tongue, I lick from slit to clit, and back again, my tongue and fingers alternating as I fuck her to the cusp of orgasm.
And when she’s right there, her body dangling on the precipice as she frantically tweaks her nipples, I suck her clit sharply into my mouth. Her orgasm barrels through her as Icontinue to thrust my fingers, her cries of pleasure turning to mewls as she comes all over my tongue.
My hum of satisfaction as I lick her clean makes her whole body tremble before I press a chaste kiss to her quivering clit.
“Watching you shatter for me is breathtaking.” Her pleasure-glazed eyes find mine, and I run my flattened palm from her pussy up along her trim stomach to gently cup her breast. “Simply fucking exquisite.”
As she comes back down from the heights I’ve brought her to, I tenderly lift her from the piano lid and gather her into my embrace. Long moments pass before she turns her sleepy eyes toward me, leaning close to press our lips together.
“I’ve never felt that before, Rafe. That connection, the emotion in your eyes as you watched me unravel. I couldfeelhow much you wanted me. How much you wanted me to be yours.”
My arms tighten their hold slightly, bringing her closer to rest my brow to hers. Our lips are an inch apart when I reach up to rest my palm on the nape of her neck.
“I want you beyond all reason,Stellina. I want this more than I’ve ever wanted anything in my whole damn life.”
Her face lights up with a broad smile, and she moves closer to kiss me. But as our lips brush, she cries out, jerking back suddenly and without warning. Elodie stumbles, falling onto the wooden floor as a very drunken Sofia lashes out at her.
“No whores allowed in the compound.Get out!”
I stand from the piano bench, and grip Sofia’s hand when she raises it to strike Elodie, pushing her away with a low snarl. “Don’tfuckingtouch her.”
Elodie manages to grab her nightwear, slipping it on when Antonio bursts into the room. He surveys the scene with disdained eyes, turning to me with an unimpressed murmur.
“Really, Rafael? When you could haveanyone,you choose her?” He points his index finger toward her, and Elodie cowers into herself ashamedly as Antonio narrows his eyes. “You put your dick inside Conti’swhore?”
CHAPTER 20
ELODIE
My head is aching,and my eyes burn with the force of holding my tears back at the contempt in Antonio’s words.
You put your dick inside Conti’s whore.
Conti’s whore.
Whore. Whore. Whore.
I can see Rafe move to strike him through my suddenly blurry vision, and a large scuffle takes place, but I’m entirely removed from it until Sofia’s scream breaks through my barriers.
With a shake of my head, tears crest my lashes, falling down my cheeks, and I move swiftly when I see Rafe holding a small gun to Antonio’s temple. Sofia is cowering behind him, her eyes glassy from God knows how much alcohol.
“How fuckingdareyou say those words,Zio.” He flips off the safety, leaning closer to hiss, “You don’t even deserve to breathe the same air as myStellina.”
Before he can loosen a shot, I lay my palm on his forearm, stepping closer until my front is pressed to his side. My eyes caress his profile, taking in the harshness of his jaw, the rage contorting his mouth before I whisper softly, “Enough. There will be no more bloodshed on my account, Rafael.”
