Matias leans back in his chair, wrapping an arm around my shoulder. “I’ll think about it, but if your father asks, I will say yes. If I answer now, he will know you said something, and you’ll have to deal with his wrath.”

Dominick’s face pales. “Thank you, Mr. Milazzo.”

“We do anything for family, am I right?”

“Da, Mr. Milazzo. Da.”

And me being smitten with Matias falls a little bit more towards being in love with him because he always finds room to care.

Chapter Seventeen

Matias

We stayed longer at the gala than I liked. Dovnic never asked me for my help, and I never offered it, but I won’t throw his son under the bus. I won’t be held responsible for a kid being harmed for telling a family secret. If I know one thing about this life, it’s that families in this line of work are very prideful.

Myself included.

Walking out of the gala doors to the elevator is something I have been looking forward to since I saw Sophie in that dress. Jesus Christ, she looks so fucking good.

She hides her body but all I want to do is show it off. She’s gorgeous, and she has no idea how much attention she brings to every room she steps into. I saw the way the men looked at her at the gala. They wanted what I had, and it pleased me to know they would never have it.

“I need to use the ladies’ room before we go upstairs. I’ll meet you at the elevator?” she tells me, a sweet smile stretching across her face that leaves no room for doubt about what I want.

Forever.

I want forever with Sophie Matthews. I just have to convince her that she’s worth an eternity. I hate that she thinks she is temporary, and I’ll work my entire life to prove her wrong.

“I’ll be waiting.” I kiss her on the forehead and head to the elevator.

“It was good seeing you, Matias.”

I turn to see Dovnic behind me with his son who is giving me scattered, nervous looks. At this rate, I won’t need to say anything. He’s going to out himself if he keeps it up.

“You too, Dovnic.” I lean against the wall, watching as they walk towards the exit, then sigh, knowing I can’t let the kid down. “Dovnic.”

He stops in his tracks, glancing over his shoulder. “Da?”

“If you ever need anything, I’m happy to be there.”

His brows raise in surprise. “Da, you too.” A bewildered expression twinkles in his eyes before strolling to the door again. His son gives me a curt nod in thanks before wrapping his arm around his date and following his father.

I check the time on my Rolex. Sophie has been gone longer than I expected. Right as I take a step into the direction of the restrooms, I see her come around the corner, holding her clutch to her chest. She briefly scans the room for me and when Sophie finds me, another bright smile lights up her face.

That’s for me.

She’s happy to see me. No other man. No one else.

Me.

When she’s closer, my lust gets the best of me and I tuck my hands in my pockets, letting my eyes travel the elegant curves of her body.

“Matias, you’re looking at me as if you want to maul me right here,” she giggles, stopping right in front of me.

I glance down, getting a good view of her cleavage, and my cock twitches when I think about sliding between her breasts.

“Matias,” she whispers, looking to the left, then right. “You’re breathing hard.”

“I can’t help it. You make me want to lose control.” I spin around and give her my back, slamming my hand against the elevator button. “You have no idea how much I’ve held myself back all night. You tempt me,” I growl, waiting for this damn door to open.
