It was like a lightning bolt had struck the room; I hadn’t seen such a powerful stare from him before, making me reconsider Cathal’s strength as a leader. “No, of course not. But the deal was too good to pass up,” he says, maintaining calm despite the storm raging in his eyes.

Gio nods. “Business is business.”

That same fucking phrase he used when talking about facilitating a pedophile. My stomach churns and my hatred for this man burns deeper and harder than ever before. Jane better come through with the information I need soon, as I have to start deconstructing everything Gio has built in Washington, just like he did to my family. He’s a snake that doesn’t deserve anything that he has, least of all a daughter like Bella.

Suddenly she grabs onto my forearm and squeezes hard, probably because this entire time I’ve been fingering her sweet little cunt and I can feel she’s getting close. Her muscles gripping my fingers like a vise.

“Isiah,” she hisses my name. “Stop it.”

I smirk as I meet her beautiful oceanic gaze, which is full of pleasure and rage. “You know that’s not what you want,” I whisper into her ear. “You want to come for me right here in front of your entire family.”

Her nails dig harder into my forearm as she tries desperately to stop the oncoming tidal wave of pleasure, but it’s impossible.

I skate my thumb over her clit and she comes apart beautifully. Her teeth sink into her bottom lip as she makes a soft whimpering sound that’s drowned out by the surrounding chatter. As the pleasure erupts through her body, she digs her nails in even harder, making my cock turn to stone at the pain and knowing that I’ve made her come here, of all places.

It’s about time my fiancée gave something back in return, and after dinner, I’m determined to ensure that she finally does. I grab her hand and place it on my cock, noting the way her breathing labors as she feels my hardness against her palm.

“Do you feel how hard I am for you, love?” I ask.

She tries to hide the shudder of pleasure coursing through her body, failing miserably. Her eyes widen with arousal, yet she manages to utter a feeble, “Stop it,” in response.

I smirk, pulling my slick fingers out of her cunt before pressing them against her soft lips. All I want to do is make her suck them clean, but I know it would draw too much attention. Instead, I reach into my briefs and jerk my cock a few times, coating it with her arousal. I groan in pleasure at the sensation and then force myself to focus on anything but the sweet temptation sitting next to me.

My ever-growing desire for Bella Benedetto is a complication I never foresaw, and yet it’s one I don’t mind exploring further—that is, until she’s fulfilled all of my sick and twisted desires. Then, just like all the other members of her pathetic family, I’ll destroy her and burn her world to the ground.

BELLA

There’s a knock on my bedroom door thirty minutes after I head up, making me stiffen.

It’s certainly not Nina, because she doesn’t knock. Nina has a key, just like me. And I sensed she would be staying up pretty late since Cathal is here.

Standing, I walk over to the door. “Who is it?” I call.

“Open the door, Bella.” That sinful, dark voice speaks from the other side.

“Go away,” I shout back, feeling butterflies flutter to life in the pit of my stomach.

There’s an ominous silence before he speaks again. “I would do as you’re told if I were you.”

I place my hand on the solid wood door, knowing that he can’t get to me, not in here. “My dad wouldn’t be impressed if he knew you were trying to break into my bedroom.”

He laughs wickedly. “That’s what you think, but he suggested that I come and see you and spend some time alone with you.”

I glare at the door, wondering if that’s true. Is my dad really that sick that he’d send a predator into my bedroom without a thought?

“I don’t believe you.”

“And I don’t care. Open. The. Door.”

“Or what?” I ask.

“Or I’ll break it down,” he says, completely serious.

I realize that there’s every chance that this man will make good on that and break the door down. He’s a formidable opponent to reckon with.

“Okay,” I say simply, unlocking the door and jerking it open.
