Lila POV

“Fine. Just know that I’m very disappointed in you, nico.”

“That makes two of us. Now, the truth.”

She sighed over the speaker. “Nikolai was in love with the tramp. He wanted to marry her.”

My heart stopped, and nico took his hand off mine. “Your father refused. He said that she wasn’t good enough for the man who would run this family, and that Nikolai needed to find himself a strong Italian woman. Not a filthy American snob.”

Nico sat back down and picked up the phone, holding it in f

  • Forbidden flame    Fuck Fuck.......

    Nico POVShe flicked on the lights then let her heavy coat fall into down her arms before she hung it up on the coatrack.Her red dress was backless, showing the small muscles that flanked her spine. The steep curve in her back was prominent, so sexy I accidentally bit the inside of my cheek as I stared at it.I unbuttoned the jacket of my suit as I came up behind her, my mouth hungry for that beautiful skin.I gripped both of her arms as my lips moved to the back of her neck. The second my mouth was on her body, I was lost. My hands squeezed her limbs, and I kissed her hard, devouring her in the entryway. I pulled her against my chest as my kisses migrated more toward her face. I tugged her against me and forced her head back, exposing more of her neck to my reach. My warm breaths fell on her skin as I kissed her, letting my cock grind against her ass through my slacks.I’d been hard on and off all night, and now my dick was about to rip through my pants. She panted right away, archi

  • Forbidden flame    Secret Out

    Lila POV“One.” I held up my forefinger. “You definitely aren't letting me on what is going on with you. So I better head home and rest to prepare for tomorrow work, Nico.”I held up a second finger. “Two. You said I could leave, and that’s exactly what I’m doing.”He slowly slid his hands into his pockets, a quiet sigh sounding under his breath. His jaw tightened and the muscles in his cheek shifting slightly. Disappointment burned in his eyes as he fought the helpless feeling.““I hate that you brought me here only to shut me out,” I snapped, my voice trembling with anger and hurt.“You expect me to stay loyal to you while you keep acting like I don’t exist.”He stayed silent and I laughed bitterly, wiping at my tears before they could fall freely. “What am I supposed to think? You barely touch me anymore." My chest tightened painfully.“Sometimes I wonder if you’re hiding another woman somewhere, sleeping with her while I sit here losing my mind.”His expression didn’t change, and

  • Forbidden flame    Deep Conversation

    Lila POVI have never been more conflicted than I was now.“The Falcone are a well-respected family and your father have quite a reputation.”“I bet my father is turning in his grave right now and I haven't even allowed myself think about my mother.”He propped both of his arms on the table, his hands resting right in the center. His watch reflected the light, and he leaned forward slightly, getting closer to me. “Regardless of what you think beauty, I'm the only one for you and don't think you can walk away from me, just because I brought you there.”“ I'm definitely not considering that, where would I even go?”His eyes narrowed even farther, slightly terrifying. “You always have a choice but that choice must include me.”This man was an enigma and he seemed to be a criminal with morals. “What if I don't want you included in my choice?.” I asked.He grinned. “Beauty, I would have let you walk away if you’d put up a better fight but we both know you didn’t want to put up a fight.

  • Forbidden flame    Unplanned Date

    Lila POVThe back door to the car opened, and he emerged, over six feet of pure handsomeness. In a three-piece black suit with shiny shoes and a flashy watch, he looked like the boss he is and maybe I have truly forgotten who he really is.With hair perfectly styled and that damned lopsided grin, he looked right at me like this was some kind of game. I faced forward and ignored him.He entered the restaurant, and his footsteps sounded behind me. Heavy.with a slow pace, he took his time as he approached my table.Before he even arrived, I could smell his scent, his pure masculinity that vibrated in the air around us.He pulled out the chair and sat down, replacing Adam who brought me to this restaurant but cancelled at the last minute.Nico broad shoulders covered the chair behind him, and he made himself comfortable with his perfect posture. His hands rested in his lap, and he looked at me with an intense expression that mirrored the coldness of the ocean.Fifteen men took their place

    Lila POVHe leaned against the counter slightly, his head tilted to the side as he stared at me.I still remember been held captive in that room in the Moretti family house, a lot has happened but it still feels like yesterday.I'm worried because I don't know exactly what is going out in him life and I'm more concerned about what happened if this is the last time he shows up. “So I heard there's, this guy messing around.” If it was a bluff, it was a damn good one.That would be my first impulse, but since nico was far more intimidating than I realized, I found myself wanting to protect Adam rather than myself.“Are you spying at me, Nico?” My heart warned me with every beat. Nico could be aggressive when his jealous but Adam is just an ordinary guy playing around, I never even took him seriously, it just fun watching him trying to win me over. “These beautiful flowers.”“Nico, I don't know what you are thinking but please don't kill an innocent guy.” I held my ground the way I could.

  • Forbidden flame    Flower Shop

    Lila POVAfter two week passed, the memory of our conversation in the plane still stayed with me. I didn't return to his house rather he got me an apartment in Rome and we haven't seen since then.One of my neighbors seems to even take a liking for me but he didn’t have the sexy confidence I liked in Nico, and he didn’t possess a silent power I found intimidating, but that shouldn’t matter because I wasn’t here looking for love. I don't know what exactly is going on and why he isn't telling me anything.I also started working in a flower shop and people usually picked up their arrangements closer to the weekend.The only time I worked during the week was for funerals because weddings and bridal showers always took place on Saturdays and Sundays.The bell rang overhead when a customer came into the shop. My back was to the door as I stood at the table, tying a ribbon around a vase. My shears were on the table along with chopped rose stems. My gloves were thick to protect my fingers fro
