Chapter 48
Her eyes fluttered open, a yawn stifled out of her lips—it was morning already.
She tried to move, but something heavy held her down. It was then she felt his back pressed against hers and his hand wrapped firmly around her waist.
Her cheeks flushed red as the memory of his finger on her core stayed fresh in her mind. Her cheeks burned, realization hitting her with full force.
She gulped softly and then placed her hands on his large one that held her waist firmly. She carefully tried to lift his hand from her waist without waking him up, because she’d die of embarrassment if he were to wake up and find them in such a position. Not like he hadn’t done far worse things to her, but she didn’t want him seeing her like this. Right now, all she wanted was to get far away from him.
She tried to push his hand away, but it was just too heavy, and with her frame perfectly molded against his, she finally realized how small she was compared to him.
Despite how heavy he was, she managed to push his hand away from her body, and she let out the breath she hadn’t known she was holding.
She quickly made her way to the edge of the bed, ready to flee, when she felt his large hand on her, pulling her for her back to slam against his chest.
“Where do you think you’re going, Peach?” His hot breath fanned the tip of her ear, making her toes curl.
Her cheeks flushed, her heart racing. She felt him bury his head in the crook of her neck, his hand gently caressing her waist to stir the newly familiar feeling in her.
Her body stiffened, not daring to move an inch—not like she could. Her lips parted, her trembling hands held his large ones which were currently resting on her waist. “Leone, I… I need to go to the bathroom.”
He grunted, the sound deep enough to make her jolt, but his hands never left her waist as he continued caressing it. Then it slowly moved to her ass, giving it a gentle squeeze, and Anna gasped. “Leone, I have to use the bathroom now,” her voice held sudden panic in it.
Leone made her turn to face him, his lips morphing into a teasing smirk on seeing how red she was. “Did you catch a fever?” he feigned ignorance, pressing a finger on her forehead.
Anna pursed her lips. This devil—he knew too well that she hadn’t gotten a fever, but he derived pleasure from seeing her flushed.
“No,” she held his finger, now seeing how big it actually was compared to hers. She now understood why she almost lost her mind last night. If he had just used one and she was a complete mess, she wondered how she would feel if he had used two of his fingers, or three. She gulped, shaking her head to snap herself out of the thoughts.
“I… I need to use the bathroom, Leone. Let me go,” she stared at him, her eyes holding his for a short moment, watching his lips tilt up to form a sinister smirk—the same one she had seen him wear while he pleasured her last night.
“All right, I’ll take you there.” His grip on her tightened, and Anna’s eyes flew wide at the very thought of him taking her to the bathroom. The major reason she wanted to go there in the first place was to be away from this man.
Her lips parted to protest, but before she could, he had scooped her in his arms and carried her out of the bed. Her heart thudded in her chest. She felt like a doll whenever he carried her—small, weightless.
Now at the bathroom, he gently placed her on the edge of the tub, and now that she was here, memories of how he had bathed her last night came rushing back. She instantly felt like drowning herself, not daring to look back at him.
She still remembered how he had cradled her, how he had washed her down there, and part of her still felt like his finger was still in her sex.
She watched him fill the bathtub with water, her cheeks red, her heart racing. It seemed like a repetition of what happened last night, only this time it was different because she was fully conscious and more than aware. Not like he hadn’t seen everything already, she still felt… shy.
“What are you waiting for, Peach?” He stood in front of her, leaning down to rest his hands on each side of her frame, his face hovering in front of her. “Take off your clothes,” his voice low, deep, sensual—awakening something within her, the familiar feeling that made her want to writhe underneath him.
His hand fondled with the thin strap of her dress; one tug and everything would pool at her feet, baring her to his sight.
She clasped her legs, her lips parted slightly as she stared at him. His hand held her cheek, his thumb caressing her supple lips. He leaned further, his lips inches away from her slender neck. Her eyes shut tight, her heart thudding in anticipation—and then they heard the alarm go off, indicating someone was at her door.
Leone pulled away. Her heart sank in disappointment, and she stared at him. He rose to his full height and then patted her hair gently. “Have your bath, Peach. I’ll come check on you later.”
She bit her lip and slowly nodded, staring down at her fingers. And then he did something she didn’t expect—he leaned in again and placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
Her eyes widened, her breath caught in her throat as she stared up at him. Then he pulled away and left the bathroom.
With him gone now and her alone in the bathroom, the soothing sound of the rushing faucet was all that could be heard as reality began to sink in.
Chapter 50Dressed in a crisp black suit, Leone stepped out of his car, his eyes lifeless, face stoic as he slammed the door shut.His guard had sent him urgent information earlier this morning immediately after he left Anna’s bathroom. He had left the hotel immediately in order to attend to this, else everything he was working towards here would have been completely jeopardized.He checked the time on the golden wristwatch that adorned his wrist. He couldn’t wait to finish up whatever he had to do here so he could get back to his Peach.A sleek Bugatti pulled up right in front of him. A tall, handsome figure stepped out dressed in a dark red suit, face stoic, dark red hair, eyes as black as a dark endless abyss.“Took you long enough, Alessandro,” Leone rolled his eyes, and Alessandro began heading inside the large building made of dark gray walls.Leone followed suit, his eyes taking in his surroundings and the suspicious people who moved in and out of it, his jaw ticking.“You gav
Chapter 49Anna immersed herself in the warm water, her lips pressed into a thin line as realization began to dawn in. What was going to happen now?Were her plans changing, or were they to remain the same? She didn’t know. Leone had touched her, she had let him, after he clarified that he wasn’t getting married to Erica and the painting she had seen him staring at belonged to his mother.Now that she thought about it, there was a huge possibility that Domenico and Leone had different mothers. Was that why they never got along? Probably.Well, that aside, what was she going to do now? Although he had touched her last night, there wasn’t any clarity between them concerning what they were—or would there have been if that person hadn’t interrupted them, interrupted him?Was it okay if she asked him? More importantly, the big question: what did she want? A forbidden relationship with him when she would soon be engaged to his brother? Certainly not! Or did she like him? Does she have feeli

Chapter 47Anna’s eyes flew wide, a loud moan tore through her lips at the unexpected action. His hot tongue sucking and licking her honeypot, her breathing ragged, her hand flew to his hair to tug it.She felt her body sink further into the bed, she badly wanted to clamp her legs shut but his large frame between them made it impossible. She pushed her waist up, finding any sort of escape from it all, but his strong hands held them down and Anna cried in pleasure.She was so wet down there, but none of her wetness touched the bed because Leone’s mouth took them all. His tongue teasing her pleasure spot made her writhe and cum even more.“Leone please…” she muttered, but she didn’t know what exactly she was begging for, because it was definitely not for him to stop.Her hands flew to her mouth, trying to stifle the loud moan that threatened to burst out. He raised his head to stare at her, his eyes vivid with hunger and traces of her wetness on his sinful lips. His tongue peeked out of
Good day y'all, I just wanted to thank you all for giving out time to read my book and I want to say a few ofher things also. Firstly, this isn't like a straight out romance book. As you must have observed, the female lead is a very contradicted character due to the burdens she carries. There will be a lot of plot twists, and it's a long ride. Also, this isn't an erotica and for those of you who love slow burn romance then I got you covered. I'm really thankful for giving this book a chance and I hope to see your comments too❤️
Chapter 4610pm, Anna's hotel room....Anna’s petite frame stood in front of the large window where she peeked at what was going on on the ground floor. It was Leone. A lot of his guards had been driving in non-stop, and he stood there, making a phone call. Anna gulped, feeling perplexed already. What was going on? Had something happened? Would they have to return back to Italy earlier than planned?If that was the case, it was a huge blow to her plans of escaping. She had come so close, and now it was like she was far yet again.Her eyes remained fixed on Leone, who had his back facing her, and suddenly he turned, like he had felt her staring. Her heart raced as his eyes held hers, like a magnetic force trying to pull her from the ground she now stood on. He tore his gaze from her, taking long strides back into the hotel.Anna began pacing about, her hands turned clammy, her head was a mess. As she had thought, Leone walked into her room. The locks the hotel had installed to prevent
