CHAPTER TEN

DANTE

––––––––

That’s the second time I’ve kissed Adelina Baldoni in my life. It’s not going to be my last.

However, I will admit that kidnapping her wasn’t my brightest plan. She hates me.

She’s also trying to play me.

I don’t know what she thinks she’ll be able to achieve in two-and-a-half hours tonight, but I figure dining out on the back lawn will be a nice change for her.

I have felt guilty locking her away.

This way we can talk and start the process of her accepting her fate as my wife.

Iamgoing to marry her, and I want her consent before we do. Leo can marry Gianna—or not—I don’t care. But Carlos will have to accept that his daughter is mine and back the fuck off.

Her loyalty will be accepted by the families once she takes my name. This is the way of the mafia.

Dirty.

Unfair.

Deadly.

But you know, we’re fucking criminals, so it is what it is.

If I thought Adelina truly hated me and there was no chemistry between us, I might reconsider my position.

But there is.

That kiss didn’t lie.

I felt her pressing against me, against my hard cock. Eager and wanting more. I have no doubt she’s dripping wet and changing her panties right now.

She’ll be as frustrated as I am but unable to do anything about it now that I’ve told her there are cameras in the room.

There are, but not in the bathroom or facing the bed.

Unless I adjust the setting...

I really need to jerk off, but my testicles are sore as fuck after she kneed me in the groin.

Goddamn her.

I’d be impressed if I wasn’t so damn sore.

If Adelina behaves tonight, andifshe admits she wants to fuck me, I will give her some release. Otherwise, she is in for more sexual torture.

One thing she is not getting tonight is her freedom.

I almost scoff at the thought of her escaping. The guards on this house have doubled since I returned home—at my order—and while there are detectives sniffing around and parked down the road most days, none of them are making a move.

I also haven’t left the property.

“Boss,” Nick says, walking toward me. “We have some news.”
