“Look, Jasmine…” he whispered, cupping my face in his hands. “I still stand by what I said. I don’t want you to get the chip anymore.”He brushed my lips with his thumb, before drying my eyes.“I’ll find a different way of retrieving it. It’s gonna be difficult… But I’m never going to put you at risk again. I’m not going to use you as bait to get what I want. I’m sorry. I’m so fucking sorry.”He trailed off his sentence, shaking his head stressfully.“Hey, it’s okay…” I whispered, pressing my lips to his forehead. “You haven’t put me at risk. You’ve been so good to me, Adrian. You can’t keep beating yourself up about shit like this.”“How can you say I’ve been good to you… Even after what I’ve put you through?”“I’ve put you through just as much,” I whispered. “I love you, Adrian. I don’t want to fall out over Enzo Ferrari.”He gave me a small nod.“I’m glad we had this convo. This serious convo.”He kissed my mouth softly.“Now I’ve laid out all my doubts on the table… Opened up to

“This is different!” I barked. “I didn’t love that woman… But I love Jasmine. I want to be with her, and I’d do anything for her. You don’t understand…”“You’re right, I don’t fucking understand,” Matteo gritted. “You know what? I’m not even gonna bother pushing this any further. It’s your own heart you’re fucking breaking. But when shit hits the fan…”He balled his hands into fists.“Don’t say I didn’t fucking tell you so.”24ADRIAN“It won’t hit the fan. We’ve talked it out with each other. Like adults,” I croaked.Doing my best to convince him.To convince myself.“For your sake, I sincerely hope you fucking have, Adrian,” Matteo gritted through clenched teeth. “Because if she breaks your heart… I won’t be held responsible for the fucking consequences.”“She won’t. She loves me. She cares for me. She’s proven her loyalty to me.”The words couldn’t roll off of my tongue fast enough.“I don’t even know if I should bother asking how the fuck it got to this,” Matteo sneered. “You wer

“Yeah, I got the message loud and fucking clear,” I snapped. “But I love her, bro. And I’m not willing to put her at risk. Not when I just gained her trust. Not when I just made her mine, and gave her no reason to doubt me. I can’t do it to her, Matteo. I can’t fucking do it.”I trailed off my sentence, sweating profusely.“It’s not that fucking simple. We know full-well what Enzo Ferrari is capable of. He’s a human fucking trafficker. What if he tries raping her, and we don’t get there in time to stop it from fucking happening? What if he forces himself on her? What if he fucking hurts her?”I took my head into my hands, before shaking it bitterly.“I’m not willing to take that risk. You know how dangerous it is.”“I don’t know what to say,” Matteo swallowed.“Just trust me. I’ve never failed you before. I’ve never given you any reason to doubt me before, brother,” I murmured, cocking my head to the side. “So I need you to trust that I’ll find a way out of this. I’ll find a solution

37ADRIAN“So, from now on, we’ll be injecting two million more dollars monthly into the casino for you to launder,” said one of the motherfuckers at the table. “We’re pushing a lot more drugs lately, which means we have a lot more money that needs cleaning.”“Sounds good to me,” Matteo agreed. “But it might look hot to the feds if we only push it through one casino. I don’t think what we have right now is cutting it.”“So buy another casino to launder the money through,” the man gritted. “You have the cash. Do what needs to be done.”“Understood.” Matteo nodded. “Adrian? Do you agree?”I blinked several times.I’d been in a daze, and had hardly been able to concentrate on the meeting.Hardly able to get Jasmine off of my damn mind.Hardly able to focus.My stressful thoughts getting the better of me.“Adrian?” Matteo repeated, gritting his teeth at me threateningly. “Do you agree with the terms that Leonardo has laid out for us?”“Uh, yeah. Sure. Whatever,” I muttered quickly.Matteo

5JASMINEI followed him inside, but my heart was still in my throat, my body thumping with nerves.Not knowing how the hell I was going to manage stopping this escalating into him fucking me tonight.I was just going to have to tease him for as long as possible…I didn’t know what else to fucking do.“Fuck, Grace. You’re going to be the fucking death of me,” Enzo growled. “You have no idea how much I’ve been craving you. How much I’ve been stroking myself tonight, with just the anticipation of you coming here. I need you. All of you. I’m obsessed with you.”He leaned forward to kiss me, but I pushed him backwards a little, needing to drag this out.“Not so fast,” I giggled, cocking my head to the side.And then I did the first thing that came to my mind…And I put on a show for him.I moved my hips from side-to-side, moving my body up and down, whilst allowing my hands to roam over my every curve.From my breasts, down to my waist, down to my stomach, down to my thighs, down to my pu
