Dangerously Tempted Chapter Nineteen - Don't Fight Me, Emilia!
“Matteo, I can handle this, please,” whispered Amelia, unable to take in the torture any longer. She knew she couldn’t resist him for long. “I don’t want you to. Let me help you, Emilia.” His voice was hoarse, laden with desire and it made her heart race. She quickly rinsed the last pan and handed it to him. “Umm, can you put a shirt on?” Matteo placed the pan down, his eyes sparkling with interest. “Why? Does it affect you so much?” Amelia shook her head vigorously, her body taut with awareness. She could feel him close behind her, slowly grinding his growing arousal against her, making her blush. “No, not at all!” She gasped, but his arm snaked around her waist, and he pulled her flush against his bare body. “You can’t lie to me, Emilia. I know you want me as much as I want you.” His lips grazed the soft skin below her ear, slowly, provocatively, trailing to her chin. Another gasp escaped her lips when he whirled her around to face him, his eyes searching hers. “Look into my ey
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Twenty - A Threat Note
Amelia woke up in an eerily quiet apartment later. Where did Matteo go this early in the morning? Last night, she had heard him talking agitatedly over the phone in his native tongue. Was something wrong? Freshening up, she went into the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee when her glance fell upon the ready breakfast and note Matteo had left for her. Memories of their brief encounter filled her mind. Would Matteo have kissed her if his phone didn’t interrupt them? Maybe! She picked up the note and read it. She sighed, realizing he had started the day already. After half an hour, she was at the shop, working on the laptop. There was an email from Matteo assigning her more work, and she busied herself with it for the rest of the time. A knock on the office door had her alert. “Yes, come in.” Bruce opened the door and peered inside. “Miss Amelia, your friends are here to meet you.” Amelia grimaced, knowing who it could be. Although she had no wish to see them, she couldn’t drive them ou
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Twenty-One - An Addictive First Kiss
The next morning, Amelia again woke up to an eerily quiet apartment. She got ready and trudged to the kitchen to find a hot, steaming breakfast ready for her. So Matteo had come back at night. She was now convinced that he was avoiding her. She got ready and reached the shop to start her day. Just like the previous day, there was a work-related email from Matteo, although he was missing from the shop. It bothered her a lot, but this time she didn’t call him. She went home after a boring day to face another lonely night. Maybe she was misunderstanding him! Maybe he really was busy! She made dinner and retired to bed early after having hers. She didn’t call Matteo to ask him about his dinner plans. For almost a week, Amelia didn’t see Matteo. She had completed all the work he had given her. Therefore, there was no point in staying here anymore. After another dismal day, she returned to the apartment to pack her stuff and leave. This time she wouldn’t return! Zipping up everything, s
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Twenty-Two - Their Second Date?
He drove away towards some unknown destination while Amelia watched the vibrant nightlife of the bustling city. He headed towards Brooklyn Bridge and she smiled at the connection. The bridge had been a part of her life with Matteo. She was planning to check out the iconic bridge when she faced the accident that changed her life forever. It was near the bridge that she found Matteo’s body shop. Her first sightseeing tour of the city was at the bridge and its nearby attractions. Now her first date seemed to be the bridge again. “Are we headed towards the Brooklyn Bridge?” She turned to see him smile. “You’ve crossed the Bridge by car. Last time you experienced the Manhattan side, mostly. This time we’re going to DUMBO.” “Where?” Was he kidding her? Matteo gave her an amused look, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “DUMBO stands for Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass. It’s an iconic tourist spot now with lots of things to do. You’ll see.” Amelia couldn’t wait to check

His fingers tangled into her thick hair while Amelia’s breath hitched with anticipation. But his lips touched her forehead in a tender kiss, melting her heart into a puddle. He withdrew and watched her with an expression of quiet intensity as he drew her slowly into his arms. Amelia couldn’t look away, feeling the heat radiating off him through the thin material of his shirt. It felt like a dream. She closed her eyes, turning her face up, inviting him to kiss her, to fill up the vacuum, the incompleteness she had been feeling earlier. Now she realized the reason behind it. She needed him, his kisses, his embrace, his caresses. All of him. His warm fingers tightened his hold on her nape, angling her head gently to meet his hungry lips. They grazed against her sweet, plump ones teasingly until a moan escaped her. Taking advantage, he thrust his probing tongue deep inside her mouth, deepening the kiss to dizzying heights. After hungering for her all day, Matteo groaned into her sweet
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Twenty-Four - Matteo's Disappearance
Amelia waited for Matteo all day, but he didn’t put up an appearance at all, nor did he take her call. Worried, she went to the shop to find out what was going on. Did Matteo return from Phantom’s house? She met Seth on his way out. “Where’s Matteo? Has he come back?” “Matteo is at home, right? He hasn’t come here after he left last night.” Amelia frowned with worry. If he hadn’t come over to the shop, then where was he?“He hasn’t come home for lunch as he had promised. Did he go to any customer’s place?” “Freddie, did Matteo go on any customer call?” yelled Seth, but Freddie came over with a frown on his face. “No. He always takes me along. He went to Bill Phantom’s house in the morning to pay the last installment for the shop. I have no information after that,” said Freddie. “He is a criminal, Freddie. Do you think he has harmed Matteo? I’m very worried about him. Let’s go and find out please,” said Amelia. “Bruce, can you take over? We’re going to Phantom’s house to check up
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Twenty-Five - A Crush Or Physical Attraction?
Amelia rushed to open the door expecting Matteo at last. She had been restless after receiving a call from Freddie that Matteo had been found and was on his way home. However, as she opened the door, she staggered at the sight of him injured and haggard, almost on the brink of unconsciousness. “Matteo? What happened to you?” She wrapped her arm around him and helped him inside. “Hey, I’m fine, cara,” he murmured, wincing in pain when her hand brushed against his wounds. “Mr. Ricci, we will soon update you on the raid. We’ll surely find your car and return it to you.” Matteo thanked the officer and shook hands with him gratefully. After the officer left, Amelia gently led him to his bedroom. “Didn’t you sleep?” Matteo watched her angelic face close to his and felt glad that he was alive and with her. “How could I? Seth, Freddie, and I searched for you everywhere before going to the police. Ever since we had been waiting for some update on you. Where were you, Matteo? How did you i
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Twenty-Six - Facing Grave Danger
“Like when you’ll let me go to the washroom?” Matteo chuckled and released her, although not believing a word she said. He had been awake for a while and had noticed her frown. She was in two minds about something, and he was curious to know what was bothering her. Was she considering leaving him? A strange restlessness settled in his heart. He somehow didn’t want to let her go. Amelia walked out of his room to hers and he sighed, having expected her to stay in his room. ‘You’ve lost it, dude!’ he chided himself before heading to the washroom. Later, he saw two missed calls from the NYPD officer and another from Freddie. He called the officer first to take an update on last night’s raid. “Hello, Mr. Ricci! There’s good news for you. We arrested Mike Murphy and some of his men last night. The others are absconding, but we have retrieved your car from their custody. We had raided Mike’s headquarters too and confiscated drugs worth millions. Their leader is on the run but we have arre
