CHAPTER FOUR

CEO. MR DANTE.

She stepped into the office, her steps slower now.

Immediately Dante turned.

The way he stared at her, his dark eyes devouring her whole . The smoke curled from between his fingers as he leaned against the wall, untouchable and dangerous...

Gosh! All she saw that moment was obsession. No one needed to tell her that - remind her in fact because she already knew... everything about him made it clear to her.

Her phone ranged. She glanced at the phone and quickly picked it up when she saw the name mike.

"Are you there yet, Miss Alessia?" He asked.

"Yeah" She replied almost immediately-as she licked her lips nervously. "Are you here yet?" She asked.

"Am almost... There's a lot of traffic. We have 3 minutes left. Maybe I will meet you later. Love you ma'm" Mike haunted out, and ended the call before she could even reply.

The office was as dark as the one who owned it. Black and silver tones. Cold and commanding.

"Mr Dante" She found herself calling his sinful name.

He didn't react at first -but then he stared at her like a storm building, his dark eyes locking into her. Her knees nearly buckled out under his gaze.

She gripped her bag tightly... Her sweaty palm stained the fabric of her dress.

He wore a black trousers, hugging his perfect thigh, and a crisp white shirt, the button undone, revealing his inked tattoos etched across his chest like secrets. Her eyes dropped down to that particular tattoo.

It was her tattoo . Hugging against his sinful chest.

She gulped down and looked up only to find him watching her shamelessly and possessively.

The smoke curled up and shot directly to her face; as they both stared at each other.

Alessia gulped down and quickly looked away, but he didn't

He kept eye contact with her no matter what.

He was always staring at her, his dark eyes roaming over her.

She was the only girl he ever looked at that way, the only girl he would kill for, the only girl he would kneel for.

"I came... here for the document review," she said, offering a tight smile as she slid into the chair across from him.

He crushed the cigarette into the ashtray, then took his seat opposite hers, never breaking eye contact. He crossed his legs majestically like a king among men.

Dante Moretti was a legend.

A mafia lord, his name still roared louder than most alive. He can ruin anything and still gain respect. He had power, wealth, and influence. A devil In a tailored suit.

"So check it and see whatever you don't like. Maybe something you want or so." She stretched the document towards him, trying to avoid his touch, but his fingers brushed her anyway. Rough. Intended.

She froze, met his gaze, and he just scoffed.

He opened the document; his eyes ranked it for a while before he dropped it.

"Everything is good," he said, his voice calm and menacing, and she sighed in relief.

They were going to be done early – and she was going to get out of here.

She was already trembling under his gaze.

A frown suddenly appears on his face; his eyebrows are squelched together as he tilts his head, staring at her.

"Who hurt you?" His cold voice rang through her ear, making her shiver. She glanced up in confusion, but the look he gave her was no joke.

His fist was gripped tightly, his knuckles turned white as they bored holes into her.

Her eyes widened when she realized what he was asking and she quickly covered her face with her hair, ignoring the way his face knitted in anger.

"It's none of your business" She found herself saying, but that seemed to be the wrong words, because he chuckled darkly, making the young woman shivered.

He was silent as he took another cigarette while Alessia just gripped her cloth tightly in fear.

"Are you going to tell me... Or let me find out for myself. You know how it will end"

She glanced up at him panicky, but he wasn't looking at her ... Just staring at the cigarette released into the air.

Of course it wont end well .. she has lost count on how many people he has hurt they weren't just rumors.

"It's none of your busines, Mr Dante," She said more firmly.

Her eyes widened in panic as he stood up from the chair, taking slow steps.

She gulped down, and looked down at her feet... His black shoe appeared in sight and she gulped down, more-refusing to meet with his dark sinful gaze.

Slowly, his hand grazed under her cheek, and made her look into his sinful gaze.

She struggled as he took the strand of hair away from her cheek, but his hand tightened around her jaw-as a warning for her to stay in place, and she froze immediately.

She has always been the submissive type..

He tilted his head, his eyes darkening more as he stared at the red cheek. "Who slapped you princeppasa?" He asked again, this time more threatening but the female refused to give in.

"I don't see how that's your concern Mr dante" She said, firmly again, ignoring the way her mind was warning her not to dare the man standing in front of her.

He stared at her for a while and chuckled...

She yelped in surprise as she found herself in between his chest, his scent filling her nose.

His hands gripped her waist firmly as he pulled her towards him.

She trembled looking up to meet the man gaze who was staring down at her like a predator who has it's prey where it belongs.

She glared at him and pushed him but he didn't burge.

"Are you going to tell me, sunshine?.... I always have my ways finding out"

"It's none of your business like I said so why don't you just fuck off and leave me alone" She half yelled, breathing heavily.

The male raised his eyebrows at Alessia who was not breathing heavily.

"Did you just raise your voice at me... Wow! Nerves now after using me. To forget him. To punish yourself..”He muttered almost mockingly, and then he leaned against her ear. "The only time you ever raised your voice at me is when you are laying on the bed naked, screaming out my name-while I f***d" He whispered huskily, and bit her earlobe softly, making Alessia shiver.

She was getting wet... Yet again.

This damn attraction! These damn forsaken feelings.

"That was before. Fuck you" She cursed, and the male lips curved into a wicked smirk.

"The only one who is getting f**ked today is you little doll and I am going to prove to you that I can still do it now "

Alessia's eyes widened in panic, her heart beating widely.

She pushed him with all of her might, making him stumble but before she could rush to the door-his arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her towards him. He bent down and grabbed hold of her legs, and made her wrap her legs around his torso.

"Let me go you asshole! Let me go" She yelled, hitting his chest as he made his way towards the table but it seems she was the one hurting herself.

He placed her on the table,while she thrashed, trying to get away from hi – it seemed impossible as the man got in between her legs, pinning her hands above her head.

He stared at her darkly as she thrashed beneath him, taking in her features.

He wasn't doing anything! Just staring at her with that gaze that could send an already dead man dead.

Alessia stopped breathing heavily as they looked at each other.

Her brown eyes were filled with lust as they bored into him.. yet... Resistance.

Her chest rising up and down as she took in her breath or the way she bite her lips,, probably trying to hold back the trembling running through her.

He smirked as he traced her features down to her exposed sweet, sinful legs calling out to him -wanting to bite and lick.

He could see her black laced pant, since her legs were wrapped around his waist, exposing her all to his taken. Her breath increased when Dante's hand traced down to her pant line.

"Stop it you asshole! I am engaged" she struggled against him. He just hummed and chuckled as he stared at her sinfully with lust... He didn't even bother to hide.

"Am sure your fiance hasn't had you in this position yet right. Huh?" He smirked as he slowly tugged down her pants exposing her all to him.

She struggled to pull down her legs from his waist but he wouldn't let her.

Her heart was bursting from excitement, guilt and regret.

She was engaged... engaged to Damon

Her breath hitched more as he just stared down at her for a while as if she was a treasure in a present wrapped to him... And then he slipped a finger in before she could even notice.

Alessia's eyes widened - And she let out a moan immediately.

"Damn! You are still so tight, Alessia. Is your fiance even pleasuring you" he leaned in, taking her lower lips into his mouth... Sucking, biting and nibbling on it.

She refused to give him, and he thrust his finger deeper making her gasp and he quickly slid his tongue inside her mouth.

He didn’t ask. He took.

One rough hand tangled in her hair, yanking her head back just enough to expose her lips to him—like an offering. His breath was fire against her skin, a warning and a promise.

Then he crashed into her mouth, all heat and hunger and possession.

His lips were firm, unrelenting, devouring her like a man starved of taste and touch. His tongue thrust past her parted lips without mercy, claiming the space as his own, commanding her to respond—and she did, helplessly, like her body had always belonged to him.

He bit her lower lip, hard—punishing and possessive—then sucked it into his mouth like it was his to ruin. The metallic hint of pain mingled with the wet slide of his tongue, sending shivers racing down her spine.

She gasped, but he swallowed the sound like he owned her voice too.

The kiss wasn’t sweet. It was a war—his dominance stamped on every movement, every press of his tongue, every savage twist of his mouth against hers. He kissed her like he was marking territory, branding her soul through her lips.

And when he finally pulled away, her lips were bruised, her chest was heaving, and her mind was lost in him—utterly wrecked by one merciless, perfect kiss.

He pulled his finger out, stared at it for a while before he licked it clean like a starved man.

Alessia shivered, and turned her face away.

"We both know resisting me will lead no where, and we both know you are attracted and in love with me"

She didn't say anything, as she looked sideways, her cheek turning red from embarrassment.

"Now tell me who hurt you or you will really find yourself moaning out my name" Dante whispered.

She didn't reply either.. but she regretted it immediately a finger slid into her.

"Dante" She moaned out his name and that made his eyes darkened more. "Damn! I miss you so much sunshine" He muttered, staring at her.

Hearing her moan his name,sends a sparkle down to him.

The way she moaned out his name like a prayer was so erotic, or the way her lips parted.

She forcefully pulled her pinned hand and slapped him across the face – his face turned sideways due to the force.

There was tension... Silence for a while. Only the sound of Alessia's heartbeat could be heard. Dante chuckled darkly as he gazed over her

"I am about to get married." She said through gritted teeth, looking away from those scary eyes.

"How is that my business?" he asked instead, his fingers still inside of her as a warning to her.

"What are you going to do?" She demanded.

" He ignored her and asked instead.

Who lay their filthy hands on you?

Alessia went silent for a while. "A man... My car hit his and out of anger he slapped me" She lied instead, not wanting to meet his gaze.

Dante narrowed his eyes and chuckled. "Who the fuck are you playing dumb with?"

"I am not Lying" She protested, her chest rising and falling.

Chatter noise could be heard coming from the hallway and the door burst open revealing a group of people.

Alessia yelped in surprise as she quickly hid her face in his chest, panting heavily... Meanwhile Dante seemed unbothered.

Their eyes widened in shock as they took in the scene in front of them.

Alessia looked wrecked. Her hair was a mess, her lips swollen- her legs were still wrapped around his waist, while Dante's hands were either side of her, looking into space... Not even moving, and not planning to let her go.

The fact that she was naked made her more embarrassed and shameful... But Dante's broad body did well in covering her.

Her heart was pounding, as shame overtook her.

"What the heck are you doing here? I told you to come tomorrow. I have business to do" he said darkly _his voice calm, but dangerous.

"We are sorry... We thought you didn't want to see us. We will be outside now" One of them stated and then the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard, alongside with the banging of the door.

Without thinking twice, she pushed him with all her might but he didn't burge... Instead he let down her legs from his waist gently. "Run away as usual sunshine" He simply said, with his usual dark gaze.

Alessia quickly slid down the table, took her bag and rushed out without glancing at him.

She got outside only to see the group... They look like his business partners_She couldn't look at their faces.

Their gaze pierced on her as she walked past them.

"Alessia .. it's nice to see you after the meeting" One of them said, a hitch of mocking detected in his tone-making her stop on her track but she didn't turn around to look at them.

They were all looked at her with distern... No doubt.

She walked away ignoring their pierceful gaze.

Just as she got outside the moretti company- mike was coming down from the car.

"Ms alessia" he called with his usual smile but she wasn't no mood for that.

She was still shivering, shame and guilt still raiding all over her.

She was engaged, and she wasn't supposed to be attracted to another man.

"Did he like the proposal?" mikei asked, and she just simply nodded her head.

She slid into the car.

"I will see you at work tomorrow," she said, and zoomed off.
