“All’s fair in love and war, cuoricina. Do you want me to make you feel good? I can, you know,” I murmur in her ear. “I can fuck this pussy so good. I’ll make you come so hard, you won’t be able to walk for a week without remembering what I feel like inside you.” She shivers with delight, biting her lower lip, glancing over her shoulder.

Christ! The desire in her eyes is enough to drive a man mad. “Please.” She pouts.

“Who wins?” I urge, and for extra incentive, I cup her core.

“You do,” she says breathlessly.

I give her what we both need. I slip my thick cock inside her, begging for the heat of her pussy. That luscious moan that escapes her lips is all the encouragement I need to move inside her slow and steady. I continue to move my thumb over her sensitive clit. Ally lifts her hand, but I slap her ass and warn her, “Those hands stay where they are or I’ll stop.”

“You…you wouldn’t,” she mewls, wiggling her ass and clenching my cock.

I pull out and lean over her, skin to skin. “I can do this all night, baby. I’ll bring you right to the brink, then stop. Now be good.” I glide my fingers over the tips of her breasts. “I’ll take care of you.”

I kiss her shoulder. Her head twists, and I taste those lips as I push inside her core, fucking her slowly at first, then picking up my pace. As much as I love our game, I must come, but I have a greater need to hear her cry out my name as she always does when an orgasm hits her.

The melodic moaning of my name as she comes is the sweetest music I’ll ever hear. My cock reacts to the sensual moan, spilling my seed, buried deep in her pussy.

Before we both tumble onto the mat, I guide her down, and we wrap ourselves around one another.

Ally kisses the hinge of my jaw, and I look down at her beautiful face. She’s still riding her orgasmic high. “You cheated,” she teases.

I laugh loud and hard. I can’t remember a moment that I’ve ever felt this good.

“Naked Twister is my new favorite game,” I say, kissing her sweetly and swallowing her girly giggle.

NINETEEN

Life or Death

ALLEGRA

Just when I think I can’t love Zano any more than I already do, he gives me more reasons to love him. The sex is fantastic, but we have more than that, or, well, for me, it’s more than sex. Every morning, he greets me with a fabulous smile, and today is no different.

Only today, along with the fabulous grin, he’s made breakfast. It’s only Pop-Tarts and coffee, but they’re my favorite strawberry-flavored ones, and my coffee has the perfect amount of milk and sugar. Zano remembers I prefer milk to cream. And next to my plate with Pop-Tarts is a stack of magazines.

That’s new!

“Are you going to stand there watching me all day, or do I get a morning kiss?” he asks slyly.

I walk right to him; my hand comes to his chest as I reach up, offering my mouth to his. He moves his sensuous lips over mine, and I melt into him.

“You made breakfast.” He chuckles.

“Pop-Tarts is the breakfast of champions,” he says with a wink. He guides me to my chair, then sits opposite me. I glance at the magazines.

“What is all this?” I pick up the one on top and leaf through the glossy pages.

“It’s to give you ideas.” I’m confused, and my expression doesn’t hide that fact. He explains, “You want your own salon, and you want to take courses to include makeup and stuff. The magazines on the top might give you some thoughts on what you want your shop to look like. Under those are courses offered locally that might interest you. And because it would be a sound investment, Dad, Elio, and I are willing to invest in a storefront to get you started. That’ll come later, of course, once we sort out the other stuff.”

Zano is keeping my mind busy. He told me last night that we’re moving forward together, and this is his way of taking my mind off the lurking danger of the Skulls and the Triad. He’s looking after me, again. I scan his face, unable to formulate the words that are swelling in my heart. He makes me feel too much. I get up and slide onto his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck.

“I don’t know what to say,” I say honestly. Then the words come to me. “I never thought I’d meet a man like you. I stopped thinking of falling in love and fairy-tale endings because everything in my life went dark. Then you came, and suddenly, I have hope. That’s the greatest gift you could ever give me.” I press my lips to his. He immediately takes over, our mouths fused together, his hand caressing my back, the other sliding up under my skirt, resting on my upper thigh. But Zano stops there, ending our kiss and staring into my eyes.

“Baby, I’d like nothing better than to continue this moment of heaven, but my brother will be here any second, and the last thing he needs to see is my boner. But keep that thought, and tonight, we’ll take it from here,” he says with a grin.

“It’s a date,” I whisper, brushing my lips over his, then going back to my chair.

Zano only manages to take two bites of his Pop-Tart before his phone rings. Although two bites add up to half a Pop-Tart. He quickly swallows before answering. “Hi, Sebastian. Is everything okay?”
