“Girl, the way he looks at you, I smell trouble,” Jane said again, her peach now a forgotten mush in her hand as she leaned closer, eyes wide with curiosity.

I opened my mouth to respond, but the soft click of the front door interrupted me.

I turned toward the sound just as footsteps echoed down the hallway.

And then he appeared.

Lorenzo.

My heart skipped like it always did. There was something about seeing him when I wasn’t expecting to—something raw, almost primal. He wasn’t just handsome—he was arresting. The kind of man who made the air shift when he walked into a room.

Jane straightened instantly. “Oh,” she whispered, then cleared her throat. “I’ll, uh… I’ll be in my room.”

She waved a little too cheerfully at Lorenzo, who gave her a polite nod, then vanished up the stairs like her life depended on it.

The silence that followed wrapped around us like a second skin.

“You’re home early,” I said, trying to fill it.

Lorenzo’s gaze flicked across my face, something unreadable in his

  • HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION    Chapter 212- I'll Wait

    The sun filtered in through the curtains like it had no idea the world was falling apart.I blinked against the light, groggy and disoriented, my heart already racing before I was even fully awake. My arm stretched out instinctively, reaching for the familiar warmth beside me, only to find...Nothing.Just cool sheets.I shot up, eyes darting to the space where Lorenzo should have been.Gone.Panic tightened my chest.I shoved the blankets aside and sat up fully, ready to call his name—when the sound of the closet door creaked open.Lorenzo stepped out, fully dressed. Crisp black shirt. Dark slacks. Hair combed back. Jaw clean-shaven. He looked every bit the powerful, put-together man the world saw him as.But not mine.Not this morning.“Morning,” I said quietly, voice raw with sleep and unshed emotions.He didn’t look at me.“Morning,” he replied flatly, adjusting the cuffs of his sleeves.I swung my legs off the bed and stood, bare feet hitting the floor. “You’re leaving already?”

  • HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION    Chapter 211- Make Up Your Mind

    I sat on the couch like a statue, eyes fixed on the door that hadn’t budged in hours.Jane sat beside me, curled up with her knees to her chest and a blanket draped over her legs. The TV was on, some sitcom laughing at its own punchlines, but neither of us were watching it. I don’t think either of us even knew what show was playing.The room was dim, lit only by the soft golden glow of the floor lamp in the corner, but my thoughts were anything but soft. They were sharp, jagged things—poking, stabbing, gnawing at the inside of my skull.“He’s still not back?” Jane asked, her voice low and cautious.I shook my head.She looked at me, then the door. “You called?”“Twice,” I said. “No answer.”I exhaled shakily, wrapping my arms tighter around myself like I could will the ache away.Jane shifted closer. “Okay, you need to tell me what the hell happened.”I hesitated, but what was the point of holding it in now?So I told her.Everything.The bed. His arms. The way he held me like he need

  • HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION    Chapter 209- The Challenge

    I wasn’t supposed to be home yet.My meeting had ended earlier than expected—mostly because Angelo had handled everything like the efficient bastard he was. I didn’t ask for a debrief. He knew I trusted him.And right now, all I wanted was to see her.I missed her.That thought punched me in the chest harder than I expected. I was never the man who admitted to something as mundane as “missing” someone. But when it came to Emily… normal rules didn’t apply.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel as the mansion came into view.The gates rolled open smoothly. The driveway stretched out in front of me, flanked by manicured hedges and sun-drenched marble. The kind of estate most men would kill to own. But all I could think about was the woman inside it.And then I saw him.A figure stepping off the front porch just as my car rolled to a stop.Tall. Polished. Familiar.My eyes narrowed.Alessandro Salvatore.What the fuck?He hadn’t seen me yet, but I saw him.He moved toward his car, the

  • HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION    Chapter 208- Oh! Hot Men!

    Jane leaned toward me so slowly it was like her brain was trying to physically process what her eyes were seeing. “Where the hell do all these handsome men come from?” she whispered, voice reverent, like we were in the presence of a holy relic. I nearly choked on my coffee. Alessandro chuckled—just a low rumble of amusement that somehow made the air in the room feel ten degrees warmer. That man had the kind of charm that didn’t just walk into a room—it claimed it, gently, without ever needing to raise its voice. Jane straightened, flushed and flustered, then pointed a finger between us with a slightly awkward laugh. “Right. Okay. I should probably... not be here for your conversation. I’ll go... um... admire more chandeliers.” She practically tripped over herself on the way out, giving Alessandro a wide berth as if his cologne alone could make her faint. He watched her go with mild amusement before turning his eyes back to me. “Sorry,” I said with a smile. “She’s harmless.” “S

  • HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION    Chapter 207- I Don't Like Her

    It turns out that waking up in a mansion with your best friend squealing about your love life is the best kind of therapy. After our little scream-fest, Jane refused to let me stay cooped up in bed. "Nope," she said, hands on her hips like some sort of drill sergeant in a Gucci hoodie. "You may be healing, but you’re not dying. And I’m not flying all the way to Italy just to stare at you in bed like some tragic Victorian ghost." So I caved. I let her help me up, her chatter filling the room like birdsong. Every step I took was careful—my ankle still throbbed, but the pain had dulled into something manageable. And honestly? I barely noticed it with her beside me, talking a mile a minute and pointing at every detail like she was a tourist in Versailles. "Okay, first of all," she said as we exited the room, her arm looped through mine, "this hallway alone has more chandeliers than my entire apartment building." "You haven’t even seen the staircase yet," I replied, amused. She gaspe
