I shiver at the thought of sharing a bed with him again. Could I? Lord knows my body was begging too, but my mind was still at war.
“Mia and Izzy are not seeing eye to eye right now. Let’s just say things are tense.”
I feel him come up behind me. He puts his hands on my shoulders and starts to massage. My eyes roll closed at the feelings swirling in me. His hands continue to massage as I let a low moan release from my mouth. He steps closer and I let my head fall back against his shoulder.
“Feel good?”
“Mmmhmm.” I murmur back.
He leans down and kisses the side of my neck. I jump and attempt to pull away.
“Why do you keep fighting this? Your body is so reactive for me, yet you keep pulling away.”
His whisper in my ear sends a chill down my spine. He’s right. My body is panting for him. I just don’t know if it is a great idea.
“We shouldn’t mix business and pleasure, Bash.”
I reply to him, but I stop pulling away. He is still massaging my shoulders and ghosting kisses along my neck and shoulder.
“We don’t have any business together so it would just be pleasure, Tesoro. Mind blowing pleasure”
“We do have business together. You are protecting me. No need to muddle any lines.”
My breath catches as he bites under just under my ear before pressing his lips to it.
“Agreed. How about we just redraw the lines a bit. You are going to be stuck with me until we figure this out. We might as well get some pleasure out of this arrangement. I find you extremely sexy. I want you bad.”
I gasp as right-hand falls from my shoulder and instead rests on my upper rib cage, right below my breast.
“What is it that you are proposing, Bash?”
His left hand reaches to turn my face to his.
“I am suggesting that we have a solely physical relationship. No strings attached. No commitments. Just hot and dirty sex. The sexual tension between us is tangible. Tell me you feel it.”
I shut my eyes as I think about what he is offering. Can I have a purely physical relationship with this man? My brain is throwing out red flags, but I decide to follow my body for once.
“No strings attached. If either of us feel like we are catching feelings, we end it. Immediately. Even if everything else isn’t settled.”
“Deal, Tesoro.”
My mind replays the deal we made earlier. I thought I made a deal with the devil then. Now, standing here with the full heat of Bash released upon me, I know that that deal had nothing on the one I just agreed to.
I have a feeling that by the end of this, I won’t come out unscathed as Izzy predicted. I have a feeling I will have a lot of beautiful scars to remember my precious time with the mafia king.
Chapter Ten
Bastiano
“Kiss me.” She whispers.
I don’t hesitate. I pull her face to mine and crush my lips into hers. She immediately opens up for me. I continue to kiss her, giving her the full brunt of my pent of sexual frustration before I turn her in my arms. Then I pick her up and press her into the closest wall. The last time I had her against a wall I took it easy on her. This time, she won’t be so lucky.
I pull my lips from hers as I kiss down her neck. I alternate between kissing and biting relishing in the moans of pleasure coming from her. At some point, one of my men brought the girls their clothes. Sofia kept my button-down shirt on, but swapped the pants for some yoga pants. They have been driving me crazy since I saw her at dinner.
Now, I pull back and prop her against the wall as I take both of my hands and pull the shirt a part. Buttons go flying as I hear her sharp intake of breath. I look at her to find her eyes hooded and her lips swollen from all our kisses.
I lean in and bite her bottom lip before putting one arm under her ass while the other slides up her side to her breast.
