Sinfully Yours CHAPTER FOURTEEN
I step away from Alessandro to create space between us. I tend to agree with everything he says when he touches me, and this time I'm not leaving without answers. "I know what you're trying to do and it's not working this time." I cross my arms over my chest in an attempt to ward him off. "Who is that woman?" The bastard has the audacity to smile. "You're jealous, aren't you?" Did he only figure that out now? "Stop deflecting, it might work on other people but not on me." He backs away from me and I sigh in relief. I lose my brain cells when he's too close to me. "I'll order a few different things from my favorite restaurant." He fetches the two wine glasses. "Do you like Italian?" I roll my eyes as I accept the wine from him. "I'll eat whatever if it means you can start being straightforward. And why did you have to get Sammy fired, too?" He takes my hand and leads me back to the living room, pulling me down on the couch with him. "I'll get her another job." He puts
Sinfully Yours CHAPTER FIFTEEN
There's complete silence in the room. This is probably the part where he tells me he changed his mind and doesn't want anything to do with me anymore. Because in a lot of ways, I'm still a child, probably a far cry from the women he usually spends his time with. Men like him have women throwing themselves at him. I've never felt as nervous as I do in this moment. It feels like I was dead before he bulldozed his way into my monochrome life. "Why not?" He finally breaks the silence. "You are gorgeous, you can't tell me no guy has ever made advances." I shrug, exhaling. "I never said that, did I?" "So why not?" "Because I've never been interested in anyone before you." There, I said it. I probably shouldn't lay all my cards on the table. This evening taught me that I should always have some leverage. Before I know what's happening, I'm flat on my back with Alessandro above me. My hands immediately go to his muscled biceps, my chest heaving as if I've just run ten miles. His hair
Sinfully Yours CHAPTER SIXTEEN
A calmness rushes over me, just like that fateful day seven years ago, when I realized there might be something significantly wrong with me. "Where are you?" I ask as I pick up my bag. If I go straight to the bus stop and maybe get on a bus in the next two hours, I can reach her in ten hours. I should check the bus schedule online. "I locked myself in the bathroom." She sobs quietly. "Okay, listen to me carefully. I need you to get out of there and go somewhere safe, maybe go to that colleague's place you're always talking about." In a lot of ways, Phoebe is just like me. We don't make friends easily because we learned early on that we can't trust anyone but ourselves. She might have always been popular, but she knows how to keep people at arm's length. She's mentioned one colleague about three times in the last year she has worked at the cosmetic counter, but anywhere is safer than where she is right now. "I'm scared, sissy." She breathes into the phone, and I'm again reminded o
Sinfully Yours CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
The man sitting across from me is an anomaly. Just when I think I have him figured out, he surprises me again. This is what I know now. Alessandro Moretti is far more powerful and connected than I initially thought. And he knows everything about me. I should feel worried about that, but oddly I'm not. I've been hiding who I was from the world for so long now, that the thought that someone might understand me, has me feeling all types of way. The only person who truly knows me is Phoebe, and she has tried her very best through the years to keep me out of trouble and intact. Could it be that he would accept me for who I am? The real me? Do I dare find out? We're currently sitting in a very luxurious private jet and I'm nervous as fuck. Not because of the luxury or because this is my very first time on a plane, but because I might let go of my steely resolve and see where this thing might go. A beautiful flight attendant stops next to my chair as soon as the pilot announ
Sinfully Yours CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
There's a new intimacy between me and Alessandro when we get in the back of a chauffeur driven car as soon as we get off the plane, waiting for us straight on the tarmac. I'm being treated first class when it's my actual first time even setting foot in an airport. It's weird and exhilirating at the sime time. There's one thing that I'm absolutely sure of now. Alessandro Moretti wants me. He wants me in such a way that he's willing to botch a company's takeover. I've been pursued before, but never at this calibre. And it makes me want to run less and less. This is the first time I've set foot in my hometown in over three years and it makes me feel agitated. I vowed to never return to this shithole of a town where everyone knows everyone's business and how you're looked down on because you have less. Or how the Simpsons are known as the Scarlet Ladies. The ones who can take your man with only a swish of her dark hair and a glimpse of her green eyes. I hated living here
Sinfully Yours CHAPTER NINETEEN
Phoebe is lights out on the plane, her head in my lap. I knew her moving in with that guy was bad news, I'm going to have to find her some purpose in life so she doesn't have to feel the need to get validation from a man. She's beautiful and insanely talented with a make-up brush, I'm sure that can get her somewhere in life. I can feel Alessandro's gaze on my face, so I look up and meet his eyes. There's a new intensity when he looks at me, but he hasn't spoken to me after kissing me in the bathroom. My lips are still swollen from that kiss. It wasn't like the gentle kiss we shared earlier on his couch, this kiss was all-consuming, violent. "Thank you for this." I tell him softly. "I don't know what I would've done without you tonight." That's the one thing I've always tried avoiding in my life. Never ask anyone for anything, so you never owe them shit, but my debt is piling up when it comes to Alessandro Moretti. And I don't think he's the kind of man you want to owe. He smil
Sinfully Yours CHAPTER TWENTY
I don't hear from Alessandro again for the rest of the weekend. Maybe I should stab him in the dick, too. He's ghosting me, and I still have some pride left in me, I will not be the one to text him first. I'm standing in line for my coffee on Monday morning, looking at my phone, wishing a message would come through like some lovesick puppy when someone taps me on the shoulder. A beautiful blonde smiles at me, or it looks more like a sneer. "Hi, rumor has it you're dating Alessandro Moretti." What is up with the blondes? I refrain from rolling my eyes. "Sure." And why the hell are people suddenly feeling the need to be talking to me? They've never bothered me before. "Well, watch your back, bitch!" She hisses in my face. "He belongs to my cousin, and she won't back down easily from trash like you." This is not the first time someone has called me trash. I've been called the name countless times by people from home, but this is the first time I've been called it here. Thi
Sinfully Yours CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
The car ride is packed with sizzling tension. My eyes are nervously on the road as Alessandro drives fast and recklessly, earning us tons of honks in the city traffic. It's deadly silent between the two of us, neither one uttering a single word. He doesn't drop me off at home, instead making his way to his apartment. When he parks, he doesn't wait for me or open my door like last time, he walks to the elevator quickly, prompting me to follow. He presses the buttons for the code like they personally offended him, and I'm not gonna lie, he's making me slightly nervous with his volatile mood. I must admit we make an odd pair, him dressed in a charcoal business suit today, and me in baggy sweatpants and a sweater. I'm sure he and his blonde fiance fit way better together. Just the thought gets me riled up again and as soon as the doors open to his apartment and we step out, I bang him hard on the chest. The fucker doesn't even flinch, allowing me two more hits before he grabs my arm
