Mafia's Redemption: TERZO のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

DANI“You can’t joke about something like that, mafia.” I snorted and sipped my coffee. When I looked at him closely, Terzo didn’t look much like a scary mafia who killed mercilessly for a living. His eyes softened, but stared back at me with all their intensity as if he was about to do something dirty to me. Terzo seemed to have a dual personality that he could shut off when he needed to. He had a soft side and a mysterious and dangerous side. Right now, all I could see was an angel. I almost dropped the coffee cup in my hand and swallowed hard. “Oh, you’re serious.”“I don’t joke about marriage, Danielle.”“It’s Dani. Just Dani.” He started to piss me off, offering me a marriage when I ran away from the very same reason. Was he for real? “Why would you want to marry me? And why will I marry you?”“Since I learned the reality of living a life of a Siciliano, I never wanted to get attached to someone else. I didn’t date for the very same reason because I knew what life I could give

DANIWe ate in silence. If I could have this moment of peace with Terzo, I would have taken it. Maybe this was the only time I got before I met my father. Or maybe Terzo would change his mind and sell me out to my father instead.The pasta was delicious. I didn’t know I was so hungry until I emptied my plate. When I was with my ex, I couldn’t even eat a burger or fries. He watched my diet. He didn’t like the shape of my Italian nose, so he had it done. I thought it was a healthy relationship until he asked me to strip dance before his friends at the VIP. When I thought it was liberating, I was wrong. It wasn’t me. I felt like throwing up after that. “Eat.” Terzo was already putting more food on my plate before I could compliment whoever the chef was. “I think I’m gonna explode if you want me to eat more.”He looked at me, really looked at me, and I almost squirmed under his intense scrutinizing eyes. “You won’t get fat with one more spoon, Dani.”“I’m not trying to starve myself. I

DANII twisted and turned, trying to sleep. I didn’t know if Terzo was already sleeping because he slept like the dead. He didn’t even snore. He must be uncomfortable on the couch, knowing it was smaller for his big and tall frame.“Terzo?” I sat on the bed. It was almost 1 o’clock in the morning, and I was still wide awake.He replied with a hum.“I can’t sleep.”“What do you want me to do, Danielle?” So he couldn’t sleep either.“Just Dani. Can you come over? Your bed is big enough for both of us.”He grunted. The next thing I knew, he was standing at the bottom of his bed, only in his sweatpants. Damn, he had a great physique. I didn’t know a mafia this hot and fit. From what I saw on TV and what I saw on the internet. The dead mafia were short and fat.“Are you just gonna stare at me or what?” He came to the other side. “What’s bothering you, Dani?”Embarrassment heated my cheeks. I swallowed. I didn’t even realize he’d been watching me ogling him. “If my father agreed to meet me,

DANII trembled from excitement and nervousness as he leaned in and cupped the back of my head. For a mafia who lived in violence, he was so gentle that I was going to crack if he was a little more aggressive. “I’m not gonna break.”He silenced me with a finger on my lips. “You’re tough and strong. Don’t ever think that you’re gonna break because I’m trying to be gentle. I wanna treat you right. I don’t wanna scare you since we’re still trying to get to know each other.”I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out.“Did I tell you how beautiful you are?”“I think a few minutes ago?” I smiled and flushed at his compliment. “You’re beautiful, too, in your own way, Terzo.”“I prefer hot or handsome, but I take it.” He smiled and finally cut me off with a kiss. My heart pounded in my ears.I shuddered as his soft and firm lips sealed with mine. I responded instinctively and melted into him. My hands moved to his exposed chest. The skin was warm and smooth, yet nothing soft against

DANIDisoriented, I jolted up to the loud knock on the door and the constant ringing of a phone in full volume. Then a heavy arm tightened around my waist, reminding me that I wasn’t alone. “Dani, wake up,” Terzo said groggily. “Yeah. I’m awake.” I sat up, pulled the duvet over my chest, and stared at Terzo as he just pulled his gun under the pillow and checked the safety, making me freeze. The sheet fell to my lap, exposing my naked breasts.“I really want you right now, but I need to kill first whoever is behind that door.” He groaned, sitting up.My reaction was instant. My heart raced. My eyes bulged. Was he serious?“Go to the bathroom. That’s probably Marco.” Carrying his gun, he got up from bed completely naked and man, he was damn hot. His body was like a sculpture by Giuseppe De Fabris. Those thighs were molded with pure muscles to perfection to his firm ass.“Dani, you can ogle my ass later.”“Oh, sorry.” I dragged myself out of bed, pulled the sheet to wrap it around me b
