Page 12 of Unwanted Marriage with the Mafia Boss

Is this really just sex? Is that all? Or could this be the beginning of something more? Something nice.

My thoughts dissolve because Blue’s hard strokes send me over the edge. His fingers dig into my thighs as he lets out a soft roar. We both cry out, and he collapses on top of me.

With a groan, he lifts himself up just enough to brush his nose against mine. He plants a kiss on my lips before rolling off me.

What are we doing? Does he think the same thing as I am? Would he want something more or is he just looking that way at me because he enjoys fucking me? Am I enjoying the whole thing so much that I want this to last?

Ugh, I have so many questions floating in my mind as my body still pulsates with pleasure. I can’t let anything cloud my judgment. Sure, having great chemistry in bed is great for a relationship, but it’s just one small part.

Blue is a complete stranger to me, and just because he’s looking at me—oh hell, he’s doing it again—like I’m special to him doesn’t mean anything. He wants pleasure, and we happen to be compatible in that field. It doesn’t mean we’d be like that in any other sphere of life.

The fact that he’s here, in this club, with a VIP room means he’s not someone who’s looking for a relationship or love. If he was, he would’ve already found someone. A guy like him probably has tons of women vying for his attention.

I got lucky. That’s all. But it’s just sex, and it will end, like all the other passable things. Blue will just be a good memory I’ll reminisce about once in a while.

I let out a loud sigh.

CHAPTER 6

Adriano

“I have some bad news,”Rocco says as soon as he enters my office.

I narrow my eyes at him. “What is it?”

“Remember that offer I sent this morning? Well, it was insta-rejected. It looks like one of the neighbors started some sort of protest group, and a lot of the others joined him. It’s basically the whole street, and once the word spreads, there will be more of them.”

I lean back in my chair. “That’s only a small setback. Who’s the guy who started it all?”

If we get the guy to back down, the rest will follow. They might feel brave right now, but it won’t last long.

“Paradossi.”

I tilt my head. That name rings a bell. I have a feeling I’ve dealt with him before.

“Is that the Paradossi who owns that restaurant...? Rosa Bianca?” I ask.

“Yeah, it’s him.”

I laugh. “He took a loan from me, and he’s still paying it off.”

“True, but he doesn’t know the business guy everyone is talking about is the same guy he signed the deal with.”

“Then we should inform him of that little detail.”

Rocco presses his lips into a tight line.

“What now? What are you thinking about that I’m not?”

“The Paradossis are one of the first families that moved into that neighborhood. Their house and the restaurant were the first buildings in that area. Sure, they looked different back then, but the current buildings are old too. Even when they renovate, they make sure it all keeps its original look.”

“So? Tell me something I don’t know.”

“Paradossi can react in a different way from what you expect. He only owes you about five thousand euros, and he’s never been late with his payments. If he finds out who you really are, he’ll probably find a way to pay off the debt completely and keep going against you, maybe even harder.”

“I helped him save his restaurant when no one else would have. He was drowning in debt, and I was the only one who offered him a loan in his situation. He should be beyond grateful to me and get out of my way.”

“But he’s also the kind of guy who never would’ve gone to someone like us unless he was completely desperate. He’s willing to do anything for his home and his restaurant, even things that go against his beliefs. We can’t expect him to just walk away from all of it. He’s going to be our hardest target.”
