Chapter Seven
NOW OR NEVER
EGYPT
Ever since the party two weeks ago, I’ve been sneaking looks at Giovanni. I can’t help but feel like he’s watching me. I look up from taking notes, and our eyes connect. He doesn’t even try to hide the fact that he’s staring at me.
I’m feeling particularly bold today, so I hold our eye contact. I don’t dip my head, and I don’t blush. Instead, I bite my bottom lip and continue to stare. His thick lips quirk up into a smirk, and he holds our eye contact. Finally, I look away when I feel our connection is getting too intense. The last thing I want is hard nipples at work.
I normally can get a read on my grumpy boss, and I expected him to brood and pretend that our intimate encounter never happened. And here he is doing the exact opposite. In the two years that I’ve worked here, he’s never looked at me the way he is now. So Giovanni is throwing me completely off.
I was sure that my little fake boyfriend rouse didn’t work, but maybe it did. Maybe Giovanni is finally ready to admit that he’s attracted to me. I almost giggle out loud. I’m so giddy at the thought.
However, I managed to hold it together and make it through the meeting. Once the public relations department is finished with their presentation, everyone starts to clear out of the conference room.
I begin to gather up my things, knowing that Giovanni has another meeting in two hours. I don’t look up until I hear the door close. I notice that we have been left in the conference room alone, which isn’t unusual, but the tension between us is hard to miss.
“I need you to order lunch for us today. Then, I want you on the conference call.” His words are strictly business, but that dark gaze is definitely saying something else.
“Not a problem,sir,” I purr, biting my lip.
I haven’t had a lot of experience seducing a Mafia boss, or any other man for that matter, but I’m going to do my damndest.
Giovanni stands from his chair at the head of the conference table and saunters towards me. He’s wearing his signature navy Bespoke suit and white shirt. The fit is so perfect that I’m mesmerized. He’s abandoned his jacket on the back of his chair, and the sleeves of his shirt are pushed up to his elbows showing off the tattoos on his forearms. The shirt hugs his body, and what a body it is. He hasn’t fought in over two years, but you can tell he hasn’t stopped training.
I’m practically drooling at the way his muscles ripple seductively under the fabric.Damn, that’s a sexy man!
Giovanni stops right in front of me, but he doesn’t touch me. Since we are in the conference room, anybody walking by can see us, so I’m glad he’s keeping his hands to himself. If he touched me now, I might actually combust.
“I’ve told you many… many times not to call me sir. And yet,” Giovanni runs his hand over his beard and shakes his head, “you keep doing it. Are you trying to get fucked Egypt? Is that what you want because that’s exactly what you’re going to get.”
My panties have just disintegrated from my body, and I can hear myself panting. One question from this man and all my dignity has been forgotten. If he wants to fuck me right here right now for the office to see, I would happily strip down.
“Is that why I can’t call you, sir? Because you want to…fuckme if I do?”
Giovanni growls deep in his throat. If I weren’t looking directly at him, I would’ve thought a wild animal had snuck in here somehow.
He steps closer to me, and I can feel the threat in his stance. However, I’m ready for it. He will not scare me away with his pretend anger. He wants me, and he just proved it.
“You’re playing with fire, little girl.” His dark eyes narrow on me, and I smile.
Giovanni is trying to piss me off, so I will let sleeping dogs lie. He wants me to go back to pretending we don’t want each other, and this attraction doesn’t exist.
“Little girl,” I chuckle with a smirk. “I’m more woman than any of these tramps you parade through here on a daily basis.”
“Oh yeah? You think you can do what thosewomendo for me?” I can hear the challenge in his tone, which pisses me off.
If Giovanni really thought I was some naïve little girl, he wouldn’t trust me to do my job. And we both know that isn’t the case. He’s trying to push me away, but I refuse to let him.
“IknowI can do whatever they do. And I can do it better.” I lift my chin and narrow my eyes at him.
“So, you really want to play this game with me?” Giovanni quirks a brow at me, and I know he’s being genuine. He’s giving me a chance to back down and walk away.Never!
“Let the games begin,sir.”
“Alright then. If this is what you want, then I’ll give it to you.”
I smile and lick my lips because I feel like I just hit the jackpot. I’ve been pining after this man for two years, and now I finally get to have him.
