Chapter 16

Alessandro

25 Days Until The Wedding

W e stare at each other in silence after Enzo left the room with a quiet click of the door. The box holding Luci’s ring catches my attention. “You’re wearing that ring.”

“No, I’m not! You wasted a lot of money on something that will never be worn. I didn’t come in here to have a conversation. I came in here to tell you off. You think because you have money the world revolves around you. Guess what genius, it doesn’t. You can threaten me and my family all you want. I’m not wearing a ring for a man whom I do not love. Now have the day you deserve.” Chin up, she stomps out of my office.

Geno’s words echo in my head. You need to make sure she falls for you. Charm her, seduce her, whatever you need to do. The lunch is in a few days and I need to have her compliant in other places than my bedroom. If only she weren’t being difficult. There are two ways to get that to happen. I can be nice to her or bring my threats to life. The latter is the easiest option, but I would prefer to see everyone’s reaction at lunch. I scan through the cameras on my property as I take a deep calming breath and find Luci in the garden and head her way.

When I walk into the garden, I find Luci sitting on the bench muttering to herself.

“Have dinner with me tonight.”

She gasps at my sudden words, caught off guard by my presence. “Seriously? No. Now go away.”

Charm her, seduce her, whatever you need to do.

“Please, Luci? I want to have dinner with you. I want to get to know my fiancé. We can have it here in the garden, or anywhere on the property. If it gets cold, we have outdoor heaters. What do you say?” I’ve made my way to her, getting down on my knees between hers and lifting one of her legs over my shoulder. I smell her sweet scent through her jeans with a hint of fresh orange blossom and jasmine in her perfume as I kiss her inner thigh. “I’m on my knees for you. Have dinner with me.” Her legs tense up as I kiss higher on her thigh.

When I lift my eyes, she’s shamefully lusting down at me, begging for my mouth to go higher. “More.” Said so quietly I could have missed it if I weren’t reading her perfect pouty lips.

“Say you’ll have dinner with me first.” I place a kiss on her jeans where I know underneath is her heat and squeeze her thighs. I’m about to say fuck it and take what’s mine when she gives in.

“Fine. I’ll have dinner with you.”

I quickly unzip her jeans and I’m convinced I potentially broke the zipper with the desperation to reach what’s underneath. I bury my face between her legs. Fuck, she smells sweeter under those jeans and it’s obvious she wants me as much as I want her by the wet spot on her underwear. “Your scent is intoxicating. More importantly, why are you wet? Do you enjoy fighting with me or is that your body’s natural reaction to my presence?”

There’s no reason. It’s how my body is.” The lack of eye contact she gives me reveals her lie.

She moans as I rub the pad of my thumb against her clit. Slow enough that it teases her, keeping her from coming before I allow her. “Do you know you get flustered when you lie?” I peel her underwear down her perfect frame to see the glisten between her legs. Her eyes widen and her body blushes when I bring her underwear to my face, inhaling her enticing scent before shoving them into my back pocket.

“You have to stop. Someone is going to see. There are guards all around the property, right?” She attempts to close her legs, but my grasp on the inside of her thighs keeps them open.

“No one would dare watch me please my future wife. If they did, I’d shove them in the basement and make them beg for mercy. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away.”

“Alessandro, that’s not what that means.” Her words are cut off when I shove my face in between her legs. She must be tender from the last few nights, so I remind myself to be gentle with her, spoil her. I love it when she lets go, letting her body naturally take over. The way she grinds against my face, head back, and body relaxed makes my body crave to be inside her. She’s close, but she needs something to push her off the edge. I take my middle and ring finger, swiping up the wetness leaking out of her, and thrust them deep, curling to hit that spot she never knew existed before me. Almost immediately her breaths shallow and quicken and her body surprises both of us when she sprays my face as she comes. I lick my lips, savoring the taste as I look up at Luci. I’ve never seen anyone this embarrassed, which makes me think she has no idea what happened. I hold onto her as she tries to run away, not wanting to address her embarrassment.

“You have no idea what happened.” I don’t need to ask her because, by the flush in her cheeks, it’s obvious that she wishes she could disappear from this world.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know how to stop it. It just happened. Please let me go.” Tears edge her eyes as she struggles against my hold, clawing to get away from me.

I yank her toward me, our noses almost touching when I force her to look at me. “What happened was one of the most amazing things you could have done. The amount of pleasure coursing through your body as I ate and finger fucked your pussy made you squirt. It’s something I plan on making you do often.” I pull out the underwear tucked in my back pocket, taking in her alluring scent again before shoving them back in. “Wear something that shows off your beautiful body tonight, and I will see you at seven for dinner.”

I have better things to do today than plan a date with Luci. Geno will be here in three days though and I need to prove to him that I’m able to collect our most valuable debt. Pulling out my phone, I shoot off a text, confirming that my men are accomplishing today’s jobs before telling my chef to make something for the two of us tonight. This plan has to work.
