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
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Twenty-Seven - Sparks Of Electricity
He didn’t wait for her response before capturing her lips hungrily–his tongue stroking hers with a bruising force like never before. It made Amelia’s heart race with anticipation, starting a consistent throbbing deep inside her. She snaked her arms around his neck, willingly welcoming his kiss like it was the drug she needed.His tongue explored all the secret crevices of her mouth, devouring it like it was his last meal of the day. His hands roamed her back, coming up to twist in her hair, angling her head perfectly to meet his insistent tongue. A moan of sheer pleasure escaped her mouth that drove him crazy with desire. His body craved her with a passion and desperation he never experienced before. He had never imagined that someone could drive him over the edge. All the self-control he had exercised for the last four years crumbled to dust and he felt himself drowning deep into her. It was craziness, and he was crazy about her! His mind chanted one mantra: Mine. Mine. Mine.It dr
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Twenty-Eight - Cadence Visits Amelia
Amelia made lunch while waiting for Matteo. His voice echoed in her head. He was fine and he would be here in a few minutes. They could resume where they had left off. The thought of him made her aroused. She couldn’t wait to have her first time with him. Lunch was ready when the doorbell rang. Amelia’s heart raced with excitement. Matteo was here! She rushed to open the door but froze at the sight of Cadence on her doorstep. “What are you doing here? Matteo isn’t at home.” She tried to close the door to her face, but Cadence was quicker. She wedged her foot inside and forced the door open to enter forcefully into the apartment. “I’m here to see you, not Matteo. It’s useless waiting for him, anyway. He won’t come back here to you, bitch. He’s mine.” Amelia’s jaws dropped at her attacking stance. She wasn’t afraid of anyone, but this was a criminal’s obsessed daughter. Was she here for revenge? How did the cops allow her inside the building?“I have no wish to see you. Get out! How
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Twenty-Nine - Leaving Him Forever
Matteo was at his wit’s end wondering who the woman from Sicily could be. He knew no one who had a child. They only kept in touch with his father’s family. Was it one of his cousins? But none of them would seek him out. He wasn’t close to any of his relatives. Worried, he rushed out of his room to find Amelia still in the same place where he had left her. Something seemed terribly amiss, but he couldn’t pinpoint it. What could have happened to her in his absence? She looked up with a frown at seeing him emerge from his room. Matteo instantly missed the connection he had shared with her before he left home. “I have to go to the shop. Freddie called right now.” Amelia nodded at him absent-mindedly and Matteo sighed as he walked away. He would have to find out what was bothering her. Maybe he would after his return. The door closed after him and Amelia got up to rinse the dishes when her phone buzzed with two back-to-back messages. Checking her phone, she frowned at the messages she r
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Thirty - Going To Sicily To Face The Don
“Stop, Sophia. I know exactly why you’re here. Luigi sent you to get me, right? Own up or I’ll drag you to the clinic for a paternity test. Then I’ll hand you over to the cops for falsely convicting me.” Matteo stood up with a solemn look on his face, intending to do as he said. “Please don’t hand me over to the cops.” She covered her face, breaking down at last. “Then get out of here and never return. You’ve wasted my time already with your shit,” he gritted out angrily, walking towards the door to hold it open for her. “Please, Matteo. Luigi won’t pay me anything if I fail to get you to meet Don.” She grabbed her child’s hand, ready to leave. “That’s your headache, Sophia. I’ll meet him whenever I visit Italy. Maybe next month or maybe immediately. I can’t promise.” Sophia sighed and walked out of his shop with her child, having failed in her mission to convince Matteo. He slumped to his chair to massage his throbbing temples. He knew he had to go to meet the Don soon or they
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Thirty-One - Amelia Moves On
Amelia sat in her room, staring at her phone. It had been almost twenty-four hours since she left New York, yet all Matteo had sent her was a message and three missed calls. She stared at his desperate plea!Come back, Emilia! Why didn’t he call her afterwards if he really wanted her back? “Amy, Dad wants to talk to you. He’s waiting in his study,” said Gia, her younger sister, flying into the room to sift through her luggage for the fourth time since she had arrived yesterday. “I’m not in the mood for a lecture now. Tell him I’m asleep.” Gia scoffed and gave up her hunt. “Why would I lie? You got nothing for me from New York!” She pouted and stomped away leaving Amelia to groan and follow her out. Ever since she returned, she could sense the displeasure on her parents’ faces. Even her grandparents didn’t look pleased with her. Thankfully, Ryan had gone to Philadelphia for an interview. Else he would have blasted her already for staying away for so long. She sighed and opened th
Dangerously Tempted Chapter Thirty-Two - Uniting With His Family
Getting down at the nearest bus stop, Matteo walked down via Barbarigo with his luggage. He could see the top floor of his house, the clothes drying on the terrace like always. There were a few cars parked right in front of their gates, like always. He remembered those luxury cars his dad had bought for rental purposes. They were their only source of livelihood! When younger, he used to fix them whenever they had a problem and save his dad’s hard-earned money. He always received a ten-dollar bill for his services. He smiled, remembering those glorious, carefree days. They were so different from the life he was forced to lead now. All because of his cousin Rafael. If he hadn’t taken a loan from Alfonso di Salvo, he wouldn’t have to work for him. He would have been a free man today. He stopped in front of his house and opened the gates to enter. His parents should lock the gates! Just then, the main door flew open and his youngest brother, Marcello, rushed out. He froze at the sight
