I smiled in a naughty way. It was not because of what he said but because of what I was about to say. I faltered, though, because his eyes filled with something very strange. He seemed a little uncomfortable, but he also seemed stunned by something. Was he stunned because of my smile?
Yeah, that must be it. He was falling for me. He had to.
“I don’t know if I can trust you,” I said, and Antonio’s expression turned into confusion. It was easier to handle than the other one, but I liked the other one better. So, I quickly added to have a more easy-going expression from him, “You cheated last night.”
Well, he looked even more confused now. “How did I cheat?”
“I told you that you have to give me something to have my name. You learned it from Gabriele. You cheated.”
That did it. He relaxed, and a fake but charming smile formed on his lips. “How about I give it to you now?”
My mouth went dry. “I can accept that.”
He took one more step towards me. Now my body was flushed between his body and the washbasin. Both his hands planted on the surface next to me. He caged me, his muscles keeping me in my place.
I got the same feeling I got last night. I was dancing on the clouds, but the height was making my mouth dry.
Antonio leaned down and whispered only when he was at the perfect place to tease my lips with his mint-flavored mouth. “What do you want, Priscilla?”
A devilish smile should have spread on my face, but instead, all my hunger got crystal clear. I was sure he could read all my thoughts from my eyes. I was not going to be ashamed of that, so I answered with a challenging tone, “You should know what I want.”

I kept her pinned to the washbasin. I liked keeping her there. I always liked being in control.
To any outside eye, I was in control, yet it didn’t feel like it. With Priscilla, I couldn’t feel in control. It was like a battle of dominance, and we both had very different ways of playing it.
I hated how I couldn’t hold everything in my control, but on the other hand, I have never felt so challenged in my whole life. She felt like my equal despite being so fucking different than me.
Priscilla Falzone irritated my logic with her light, but she also made it so hard to let her go because I wanted to dance. I wanted to win it.
I always won.
You should know what I want.
She was doing it again. She was controlling the situation without making it obvious. I knew what she wanted. I knew those parted lips, and I knew that hungry look. I knew she wanted me to kiss her. And I wanted that too. I wanted to taste her to know her in more ways than I should.
Before that, she had to see she was not the alpha here, though. She might have been different from other girls in Cosa Nostra, but seeing her brother, she was probably still sheltered quite much.
I looked into her green eyes, shining so bright. My lips twitched with amusement to her boldness. “Have you ever been kissed before, Priscilla?”
Most girls in Cosa Nostra haven’t been. She was different, but I wished to be her first kiss. That would make me win this time. That would show her she didn’t have the means to take control from me.
I was expecting her answer to be yes or no. It was not, though.
She bit down her bottom lip and whispered, “Not by a man.”
My brows came together in confusion and fascination. Was she kissed by women? I believed sexuality was fluid, so I didn’t have a problem, yet I was surprised. I was surprised to see someone from Cosa Nostra talk about this so casually. I never did. I preferred to just keep quiet about it.
I wanted to make sure. Maybe she meant that she was kissed by boys and not men. “Were you kissed by women?”
A smile pulled her lips, and she shrugged. “I went to an all-girls school. We did practice.”
She sounded like it was more than just practice.
I held back a smile, but my lips twitched anyway. I was going to be the first man she kissed. That was supposed to put me in the alpha mood in our dance. I didn’t feel like the alpha, though. I didn’t feel in control. I was expecting her to blush at my words and say no. I wanted her to see I was controlling her.
It didn’t go the way I imagined. With Priscilla, I couldn’t calculate the next moment.
