Lia's POV

The voice was low and deep and came so close to my ear that I felt the warmth of breath against my skin.

Dante.

Relief flooded through me so intensely my knees went weak.

Not just relief that it wasn't some random staff member who would report me to Victor. Relief that it was him. That Dante was here, close enough to touch.

His hand came to my waist, settling there with casual possessiveness. His fingers splayed across my stomach, just above the waistband of my leggings, his palm warm

    Lia's POV"It's not necessary," I said coolly, reaching back to try the spot again myself. "I can manage.""I insist," Rob said, and there was something in his tone—something possessive, something that suggested he had a right to touch me just because he wanted to.He didn't wait for me to agree. He just reached down and plucked the sunscreen bottle from beside me.I rolled my eyes but didn't protest further. Fighting about it would just draw more attention, and honestly, I'd rather just get this over with.I turned slightly, giving him access to my back, and waited.Rob squeezed sunscreen into his palm, and then his hands were on my skin.The first touch made me tense involuntarily. Not because it felt good. Because it felt wrong.His hands were smaller than I remembered. Softer. They moved over my back without any real confidence, rubbing the lotion in with an awkward, uncertain pressure that was somehow both too rough and too gentle at the same time.Nothing like Victor's hands in

    Lia's POVI forced myself to keep walking, to move past Rob without acknowledging him, to set my towel down on a lounge chair."Wow, Lia," Celeste said, her voice friendly but with an edge underneath. "That's quite a bikini.""Thank you," I said simply, not rising to the bait.I could feel Rob's eyes still on me. Could practically feel the weight of his stare as I adjusted my towel, as I bent over slightly to set down my sunglasses.Part of me wanted to turn around and confront him. To ask him where this attention had been for the past year. To point out the hypocrisy of him staring at me now when he'd spent months making me feel like wanting his attention made me pathetic.But I didn't.Because I genuinely didn't care anymore.Instead, I walked to the edge of the pool, very aware of Dante's eyes tracking my every movement.The water was crystal clear and inviting, glowing that same blue-green it had been the other night when Dante had made me come apart with his mouth.The memory mad

    Lia's POVHis eyes went from dark to absolutely black, his pupils dilating until they swallowed almost all the brown. His hand on my waist tightened, fingers digging into my skin hard enough that I'd probably have marks."What did you just say?" he asked, his voice rough and dangerous in a way that made every nerve ending in my body light up."Yes, sir," I repeated, softer this time, looking up at him through my lashes.Dante made a low sound in his throat—something between a groan and a growl."Fuck," he breathed. "You can't say things like that to me, baby. Not unless you want me to lock this door and make you scream my name until everyone in this villa knows exactly who you belong to."The image his words painted made me dizzy."I need to let you get dressed," Dante said, but he didn't move. If anything, he pulled me closer, his hips pressing against mine so I could feel exactly how affected he was. "Or I won't be able to keep my hands off you.""Maybe I don't want you to keep your

    Lia's POVThat afternoon, after a late lunch where Rob and Celeste had been insufferably touchy with each other, Celeste announced brightly that we should all spend the rest of the day by the pool."It's too beautiful to stay inside," she said, tossing her blonde hair over her shoulder. "We should take advantage of the weather. What do you think, Robbie?"Robbie. I almost rolled my eyes."Sounds good to me," Rob said, already standing from the table. "I could use some sun."Victor had politely declined, saying he had business calls to attend to. Part of me was relieved—after what had happened in the gym this morning, I wasn't sure I could handle being around him in a casual setting without my face giving everything away.The other part of me was disappointed. Very disappointed."Lia?" Celeste turned to me with that practiced smile. "You'll join us, won't you?"Like I had a choice. Like saying no wouldn't make me look antisocial and weird."Sure," I said, forcing a pleasant expression.

    Lia's POVThe words hung in the air between us, loaded with meaning I wasn't entirely sure how to interpret."I'm sorry if Rob has made you feel unwelcome," Victor continued. "That was never my intention in inviting you both here. I wanted to get to know you. My son has been... secretive about his personal life. When he finally mentioned you, I was curious.""Curious?" I repeated."About the woman who could capture my son's attention," Victor said. Then his mouth curved into a slight smile. "Though now that I've met you, I understand completely."My breath caught.Was he... was he flirting with me?Victor stood smoothly and extended his hand down to me. "Here. Let me help you with your hamstrings. They can be tricky to stretch properly on your own."I took his hand without thinking, and he pulled me to my feet with easy strength."Sit," he instructed, gesturing to my mat.I sat, my heart suddenly racing."Extend your right leg straight," Victor said, moving to kneel beside me on the m

  • DIRTY DESIRES: DADDIES TASTE BETTER   CHAPTER 29

    Lia's POVI pushed the door open and stepped inside the gym.The space was larger than I expected—a proper home gym with everything you could possibly need. Weights lined one wall, organized by size. Machines for every muscle group. A treadmill and stationary bike near the windows. Mats for stretching. Mirrors covering an entire wall.And in the middle of it all, Victor.He was facing away from me, setting up for another set, completely unaware of my presence. The muscles in his back shifted as he moved, sweat making his skin gleam under the bright gym lights.I cleared my throat softly.Victor turned immediately, surprise flickering across his face before it settled into something warmer."Lia," he said, and god, the way my name sounded in that deep voice with just a hint of Italian accent made my stomach flip. "Good morning. I didn't expect anyone else to be up this early."His eyes traveled over me—a quick sweep that took in my workout clothes, my ponytail, the flush I knew was sti
