Chapter 64 He had her laid bare, the heat of his cock pressing against her slick folds, the promise of domination and pleasure electrifying the space between them. His hands gripped her hips, steady, demanding, ready to claim what he wanted. “Luca?” Vee’s pulse raced in her throat, her heart
Chapter 63 She paused, hands stilling on the sheet. “Yes, I did p> “Why p> “Because you’re drunk. And because if you wake up sick and miserable tomorrow, you’ll be even more unbearable than usual p> Luca’s hand slipped out from beneath the linen and closed around her fingers. “Why
Chapter 62 She knelt by the bed, brushing a hand softly over Tina’s hair. Luca might be a devil, a tyrant, a storm of chaos but tonight, he had done something undeniably human, something that left her breathless in its unexpected tenderness. Vee leaned closer, pressing her forehead to her
Chapter 61 His hand lifted, holding her waist, fingers flexing. “I want to punish you for making me feel this weak. And I want to protect you from everything that would tear you apart. I want to be the one who hurts you and the one who heals you p>
Chapter 60 Winn Kane would attend the auction. Kane owed Luca a debt that could never be repaid properly. Kane would bid on Valentina. Win her. On paper, it would look like another ugly transaction in a world that fed on them. Off paper, Luca would extract her quietly, move
Chapter 59 “Are you sure you can still win this battle, Cassidy?” Luca asked mildly, tilting his head. Cassidy swallowed hard. His throat burned. His pride lay in ruins at his feet, trampled beyond recognition. “You win,” he said hoarsely. “You win. You got the girl.” His shoulders sagged, exhaustion
Chapter 58 Somewhere in the back of his mind, irritation flared at the layers between them. Too many clothes. That stupid Scalese pizza T-shirt. Jeans. Insulting, really. He could make it work. “I need you to talk to me, Vee,” Luca whispered into her ear. “Tell me what you love.
Chapter 57 “Nothing short of what he deserves.” Luca answered, bored. He sank deeper into the chair, crossing one leg over the other, his fingers drumming idly against the armrest. Veronica’s chest rose and fell rapidly, her nails digging into her palms. “What exactly does he deserve? What has he
Chapter 56 Vee’s eyes flew to his instantly, her cheeks burning. She pressed her lips together. The man knew exactly what he was doing—probing, testing, pressing buttons she wasn’t ready to acknowledge. “They can’t help it. Cassidy said not you,” Voss continued, his gaze narrowing slightly, studying her reactions. “He
Chapter 55 His hands gripped her hair, tugging gently at first, then harder as his control wavered. He could feel the pulse of her mouth around him, the warm, wet friction, and it made him see red, made him ache with want for someone else entirely. He imagined Vee gagging,
Chapter 54 Marco exhaled slowly. Luca had tried. That much was true. Now it was his turn. And whatever choice he made next would either damn him or define him. The girls were opposites of Luca and Marco. Where the men were forged in shadow, compromise, and bloodline loyalty, the
Chapter 53 “The next time you touch my woman,” Luca said evenly, “the next time you look at her funny, it will be the last time you look at anything p> Cassidy’s pulse thundered in his ears. “And since you do not value your own life,” Luca continued, “I’ll make
Chapter 52 Now, he no longer had the heart to hand her over to the life Bastardi had prepared for her. And yet, there was nothing he could do. Genovese Senior had already signed off on the exchange. That signature might as well have been carved into stone. Marco dragged
Chapter 51 Vee’s body trembled against him, nails digging into his shoulders, her breath coming in ragged gasps. “I…God…Luca she whimpered, trembling, lips parted, eyes squeezed shut. “Please…don’t stop. I can’t…can’t hold back p> He had always been a man who took what he wanted—but with her, it was about
Chapter 50 “I’m not taking control,” he continued, eyes locked on hers, “unless you give me all of it p> “I… I can’t,” she whispered. “Then the underwear goes back on p> Her response was immediate, visceral. “Fuck. No p> His fingers slid to the tie of her robe, loosening
Chapter 49 She stared at the desk, then back at him. Vee rose from the chair slowly, her thoughts tangled and loud. She lifted both hands in a small, ceremonial gesture, palms up, asking permission without saying a word. Luca watched her with narrowed eyes. “Use your words,” he said.
Chapter 48 “Of course,” Nonnina replied, casting Vee another worried glance before patting her shoulder gently. Then she left to get Julian’s plate, leaving the room charged with an almost unbearable tension. Julian’s gaze landed on Vee, curiosity flickering through his eyes. “Who is this lovely lady?” he asked. “None
Chapter 47 Vee swallowed hard, her throat dry and raw. “He kissed… he kissed me,” she admitted. Her pulse was hammering in her ears, her body simultaneously on fire and frozen, knowing she had crossed a line in his eyes. “What else p> “Nothing,” she whispered. Luca clicked the remote
Chapter 46 A wry thought tugged at him. I might need a whole room for her punishments, he mused. He’d never kept a woman before. Women had come and gone. But Vee was different. Vee was a storm. She rooted herself in his life whether she meant to or not,
Chapter 45 “Are you ready?” Marco asked quietly. “Can one ever be ready to be sold p> His jaw tightened. “You are not getting sold tonight. And don’t say it like that p> “Okay,” she sighed, tipping her head back against the seat. “Being paraded like cattle then. Oh look
