Her professional smile faded when she saw the look on my face. “Fuori. Adesso. (Out. Now.)”
She scurried from the room just as Olivia stormed around the corner of the racks, halting when she saw me. She looked so unbelievably gorgeous in that green dress that caressed every inch of her beautiful body and her bright eyes and wavy hair that cascaded down her back. She was too good for me, and I knew it. I didn’t deserve her. I will never be as good as she deserves, but I can’t let her go. I would be as good as I was capable of. That had to be enough.
My eyes travelled down to the handle in her hand and I froze. A suitcase? My eyes darted back up to hers as she visibly gulped and then made a dash for the door. I blocked her way and she stepped back, huffing angrily.
“Where are you going?” I growled, my voice harsh and demanding. I couldn’t help it. She was trying to leave me.
“That is none of your business,” she hissed, attempting to get past me again. I grabbed the suitcase out of her hands and she gasped when I threw it effortlessly across the room. It landed with a thud on a rack of coats and her eyes narrowed and nostrils flared in anger.
“What the fuck?”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” I forced my voice to soften as I stepped towards her. She backed away and stared up into my eyes.
“Tell you what?”
“About Henry? That he is out there and is looking for you?” Her stunning eyes widened, and she looked away from me, the emotion causing her lip to tremble. “If he wants to get to you, he will have to go through me first.”
“That is why I am leaving Giovanni! I cannot bring you into this or your family! It's not fair. I have to keep moving, I am already putting your life in danger with the Leones and Henry is coming. I can feel it. My demons are not yours to fix!” She shouted as she folded her arms across her chest protectively.
“You are wrong, Liv. I would ruin myself to protect you.”
She peered up at me through her dark eyelashes, fresh tears brimming at the edges. “I would never ask you to do that.”
“You don’t have to. Don’t you get it, Liv? If you were to simply whisper my name, I would fall at your feet. I am intoxicated by you. You are everywhere. In every thought, in every decision. Do you think I enjoy this? This infatuation? The constant need to know you are safe. You can hurt me like nobody else ever can.” I grabbed her small face in my huge hands and forced her to look into my eyes to see that I was baring my soul. A tear slipped down her cheek.
“Then stop it! Stop caring about me. This will never end well for either of us. You are not meant to be with me, you are meant to be with her. This is too messy! Just let me go!” She cried, as she forced my hands off her face.
Something inside me snapped. Why couldn’t she let me in? Why couldn’t she see that I would never let anything come between us?
“I CAN’T! You are killing me Liv! The fact that you think I could possibly let you go just shows how oblivious you are about the power you have over me.”
Her eyes flashed with anger. “I am killing you? You are engaged to another woman, Giovanni! And even if you don’t want to marry her, that doesn’t change the fact that you must! I know what it means! I know by choosing me over her you will start a war of families! I’ve done my research! I can't let you do that.”
“I really don’t give a shit Liv. If you ever think I will be able to look into anyone’s eyes the way I get lost in yours or that I will feel even a fraction of the way I feel about you for her, then you are a fucking fool!” I bellowed, losing my temper.
She scoffed, her eyes fierce. “So now you are insulting me?” She tried to walk away from me and head for her suitcase but I pulled her back by her arm and pushed her against the wall.
“Yes, because you are being a stubborn ass bambola! Don’t run away. Stay with me,” I demanded, my hard gaze burning into her eyes.
“Why should I?” she growled back, my body flushed against hers, pinning her to the wall. She’s so mad at me right now but she looks so fucking hot that it is taking everything in me not to kiss her senseless.
“Because you love me,” I husked against her lips. She pushed at my chest, forcing my lips away from hers.
“I- I can’t do this. Don’t make this harder than it already is, Giovanni.” Her silent tears were running down her face now and my heart felt like it was about to explode. I stared down at her as if I could see into the depths of her very soul and she shook her head. “Please. Don’t look at me like that.”
“Like what bambola?” I breathed, my chest brewing up and down in a slow rhythm, hands on her hips, holding her in place.
“Like you fell in love with me,” she whispered.
“Maybe I did.”
“Stop it,” she bit back through her tears as her fists punched my chest. I let her take her frustration out on my hard pecs for a few moments before I grabbed her wrists and held them above her head against the wall.
“I will never stop Olivia. You are pushing me away because you are scared. You and I are it. Stop running from the truth. I love you dammit. I FUCKING LOVE YOU!” I screamed in her face. Her eyes widened and her lips parted. I saw my words break her. She gave in to her weakness for me. Her ache for my lips, the longing for my body on hers. She couldn't resist it no matter how hard she tried. I knew it because I felt it too. She was my weakness.
The hunger as her lips smashed against mine caused an explosion of emotions between us as I released her wrists, and my hands roamed her body. She was tugging frantically at my clothes, ripping them off me with so much need, as I grabbed at the length of her dress and tore a slit up the side of it to allow me access to her pussy. My dick pulsed in my trousers. It ached to be inside her. To claim her again. She had me under a spell, making me feel incomplete without it. Our tongues were fighting with need as we devoured each other’s mouths and I lifted her as she wrapped her legs around my ass, pulling my groin into hers. From this position, all I had to do was unzip my fly and I’d be inside her in a heartbeat. Using my free hand, I did just that. She gasped into my mouth as I filled her completely in one powerful thrust.
It was too much, yet not enough. I had never felt like this before. Such intense passion and desire to take every inch of her as my own out of fear. Fear of losing her. I moved my hips back slowly only to push up into her again as she cried out against my lips. Moving faster and harder, I pounded into her with all the intensity I felt. I groaned and moaned as she clenched around me and raked her nails along my back as I buried my head in her neck and kissed her skin. We both screamed out our orgasm so raw and full of emotion as I shuddered inside her and panted heavily.
