Page 38 of My Mafia Queen

I was particularly hard that day.

Because I knew how much I’d enjoy having her under me, and I knew there was a price to pay to taste that kind of pleasure.

My problem wasn’t that. I’m used to paying a price for anything in this life. But I didn’t know if she was ready to pay.

It took a big leap of faith to come back and unconditionally say yes to me.

She thought she deserved that.

She believed it was worthwhile to do that. To say yes to me.

The man who could disappoint her in many ways except for one.

If she’s got my heart, she’s got my power too.

And no one will harm her unless they want to deal with me.

They’re messing with her.

They’re messing with me.

And we all know how that ends.

CARMINA

He movesinside me with care, but the pain is all the same.

It’s like shards of glass fill my body.

That doesn’t make me stop.

I rock my hips against him, getting hooked on that delicious fullness, wanting him inside my body.

Some of my apprehension has dissipated, and a flicker of pleasure comes from us kissing.

With his arms around me and his lips pressed against mine, I forget I’m bleeding.

The pleasure comes with pain, and pain comes with pleasure.

Keeping me close to his frame, he moves his hand over my body, exploring everything that needs attention, creating happiness across my skin.

He follows the swell of my butt, grazes my entrance, and gently strokes me from behind before sliding his hardness into me.

Waves of sinful pleasure lap at my skin, and a shiver sweeps through me, while goosebumps grow on my arms.

He fucks me slowly, pleasure coming from his fingers and his thrusts.

The pain is there, sharp––sometimes dull––but pales in contrast to the pleasure and powerful emotions spurring treasured memories.

There is space between us, and I fiercely feel it as we’re still two strangers bound together by intoxicating chemistry.

I want him as much as he wants me, and he changes me with every thrust and sultry kiss, making me pulse around him.

He smiles against my lips, pleased with my reaction.

“You feel good,gattino.”
