Page 68 of Ruthless Mafia Boss 3: Vino and Claire

He smirked, his gaze drifting toward the trio of boxes on the table. “Go ahead. Open them.”

Curious, I reached for the yellow box first. As I lifted the lid, my eyes widened. “Oh my God… these yellow sunglasses are stunning.” I gently returned them to their case, already imagining the sunlight catching them just right.

Next, I cracked open the red box. A sharp gasp escaped me at the sight of the oversized black designer shades nestled inside. I slid them onto my face and blew exaggerated kisses in his direction. “How do I look?”

Vino leaned back in his chair, dragging his lower lip between his teeth as his eyes roamed over me. “Good. Just like I knew you would.”

Grinning, I carefully tucked the sunglasses back into their case and picked up the last box. The blue one. As soon as I flipped it open, my heart skipped. “Vino…” I breathed. “I can’t accept this.”

A diamond bracelet, delicate yet dazzling, glistened under the patio lights.

Vino didn’t say a word. He simply took the box from my hands, removed the bracelet, and stepped closer. “Hold out your wrist.”

I hesitated. Shook my head. “It’s too much—”

“Now, Claire,” he said, low and firm.

Reluctantly, I extended my arm. He clasped the bracelet around my wrist, securing it with ease. It was cool against my skin elegant, radiant, undeniably beautiful.

I turned my arm from side to side, watching it catch the light. A slow smile tugged at my lips. “It’s… gorgeous.”

Vino’s voice was rough with certainty. “No,” he said, his eyes locked on mine. “You’re gorgeous.”

Butterflies fluttered in my stomach again. “Thank you, Vino.”

He gathered the plates.

“Vino, I can help you clean up.”

“No. I’ll be right back.”

I poured more wine into my glass and sipped while I stared at the diamond bracelet. There was no way I could wear this walking through the streets of New York.

Claire, you’re with a mafia boss you can’t just hop on the subway or walk to the corner store.The last time I walked to the store was before my benefactor took me on months ago. I’d still only wear the bracelet somewhere special.

I attempted to remove it from my wrist.

“Leave it on,” he ordered as he sank into his seat.

“Ok.” I grinned.

His blue eyes didn’t leave me. They looked like they’d gone from tranquil blue to dark blue. “Claire, it’s time.”

My brows pinched together. “For what?”

“You to ride my dick.” Tingles moved over my arms.

“Every day I will fuck your brains out.”

The hungry look in his eyes told me he was serious. Vino typed out something on his phone.

His eyes met mine. “Come here.” He scooted back from the table. I rose and walked over to him.

I stood between his wide legs. Vino reached under my shirt and pinched my nipple.

“Ouch,” I moaned. The sharp pain went straight to my clit.

I glanced into the house. “If one of your men goes back into the kitchen, they might see us.”
