Lahat ng Kabanata ng Babysitting the Mafia Princess: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

Charlie’s mouth was warm, and for a second she forgot where they were. Who they were.The weight of him anchored her to the mattress, his breath mingling with hers. Her heart hammered wildly in her chest, a chaotic rhythm that seemed to say: this is happening, this is happening, this is happening.Then, just as suddenly as it had begun, Charlie jerked away. He pushed himself up, eyes wide with something that looked like horror.“I…” He cleared his throat, already moving backward. “Sorry. I tripped.”Sky’s face burned. She sat up quickly, smoothing her shirt with trembling fingers. “Yeah. I noticed.”The room felt too small suddenly, too warm. The air between them seemed to crackle with tension.Charlie’s expression hardened into that professional mask he always wore. The one that gave nothing away. “There’s food in the kitchen,” he said, voice flat. “I’ll show you where everything is.”He turned and walked out of the room before she could respond.Sky touched her lips, still feeling t

Sky sighed, staring at the soup simmering on the stove. The anger that had fueled her minutes ago was fading, leaving something heavier in its place. Embarrassment, maybe. Or just exhaustion. She stirred the soup absently, watching the liquid swirl.The sound of running water echoed through the thin walls. Charlie was still in the shower. Probably trying to wash away whatever had happened between them.She should apologize. The soda thing had been childish, even if he'd been frustrating. They were stuck here together, whether they liked it or not.Sky turned off the heat and moved the pot to a cool burner. The soup could wait. She'd go knock on the bathroom door, tell him food was ready, and maybe they could start over. Act like adults instead of...whatever they were being.She walked down the narrow hallway, rehearsing what she'd say. Something simple. Direct. No accusations this time.The water had stopped running. She hesitated outside the bathroom door, hand raised to knock, when s

It was just a dream. It didn’t mean anything.Except…Sky pressed her hands to her hot cheeks, the realization hitting her with startling clarity. Maybe it did mean something. Maybe it meant everything.She wanted Charlie not just in her dreams, but in reality. The physical evidence was undeniable: her racing heart, her flushed skin, the lingering ache between her thighs. But it was more than just physical attraction. She’d seen the way he looked at her when he thought she wasn’t watching. She’d heard him say her name in the shower, his voice rough with need.He wanted her too. He just wouldn’t admit it.Sky stood up, pacing the small confines of her bedroom. The moonlight cast everything in silvery shadows, making the unfamiliar space feel almost ethereal. Her mind raced, piecing together a plan before she could talk herself out of it.If Charlie wouldn’t make a move, she would. Simple as that.She’d never seduced anyone before, but how hard could it be? She’d seen enough movies, read

Sky felt Charlie’s heart hammering against her palm, the rhythm matching her own frantic pulse.She couldn’t believe this was happening, that she was going to do this with Charlie. His body was solid beneath hers, all muscle and heat, exactly as she’d imagined.“I don’t care about anything else, so stop arguing with me already,” she whispered, shifting her weight on his lap. The friction sent a delicious shiver up her spine. “We’re here now.”Charlie’s eyes were dark, conflicted, but his hands betrayed him. They were gripping her hips like he was afraid she would disappear.Sky leaned forward, capturing his mouth again, savoring the taste of him. It was better than she imagined. So much better.His fingers threaded through her hair, cradling her skull as he deepened the kiss. Sky melted against him, her body moving instinctively. The thin cotton of her sleep shorts did nothing to disguise how much she wanted him. When his tongue traced her bottom lip, she opened to him with a soft moan

Sky almost giggled as Charlie stared at her with a dumb expression on his face."The girl?" he asked as if he didn't hear her correctly."Yes, the girl. Who was it?" she asked again."Err...no one," he said."Uh-huh." She rolled her eyes. "Define no one.""It was a long time ago," he said. "It doesn't matter who she is.""It matters to me. You are the same age as me and have already had sex. So I want to know who it was. Was it someone from school?" she pressed."No. Nothing like that. She was...um...older," he said, scratching the back of his neck."Older?" Sky repeated, eyebrows shooting up. "How much older?"Charlie winced. "A few years.""That is not a number," she said curtly, slowly losing patience. Why won't he just spill it already!"She...she was seventeen and I was...fourteen," he said.Sky gasped."It wasn't as bad as you think," he said quickly. "It's not like I was forced or something. It was kind of part of my training.""Your training?" Sky repeated slowly, her shock sha
