NORAH & HER UNTAMEABLE BOSS CHAPTER 12
The moment she closed the bathroom door, Norah took a sigh of relief. Her uneasiness had nothing to do with Freddie’s text. It had everything to do with Leone, with what happened on the yacht, with the way she felt while sleeping next to him in the same bed. She looked at her own reflection in the mirror and saw there another woman… someone she couldn’t recognize. In less than twenty-four hours, she changed so much. Those photos changed her life in so many ways, and the strangest thing was getting Leone’s attention. And not only that. Norah turned on the water, then took off the few things she had on and entered the shower cabin. Funny how something as simple as a shower could become the most wonderful thing. Washing her hair, smoothing a soapy facecloth over her body... It was almost like a mystical experience in a time of crisis. She took her time, thinking of nothing as water rained down on her. Until… Until she started recallin
NORAH & HER UNTAMEABLE BOSS CHAPTER 13
“I reviewed your file and some other details,” Leone told her as they left the hotel room. Norah looked over her shoulder at him, dismayed, but not fearful.“Other details like what?” Her financial situation, for example. Her debt level was low, but Norah had a little, and hadn’t made any significant payments or purchases recently. There had been nothing to red flag her as possessing or spending a sum that might have been embezzled. Instead, he’d found more evidence that she was exactly as she portrayed herself.“In a short period of time, you’ve reached an astounding level of education and your work with our office in New York was quite remarkable,” Leone acknowledged once they were in the privacy of the elevator. “Still, for the position here in Milan, there were two more experienced candidates on the list before you. Sensi signed off on your transfer despite this important detail. So, this supports your theory.”“Which theory?” she asked in a

Norah couldn’t believe how honest she was being. It wasn’t like her to be this blunt, but after everything that happened, her dignity was really a luxury she couldn’t afford anymore. “Yes, Leo, I’m tempted by you… I’m extremely tempted to say yes to your every request, but I’ve never had sex with a man just for… physical release. I wasn’t raised that way. It makes me feel cheap even considering it.”“You’re incredibly insulting when you want to be, aren’t you, Norah? The problem, I think, is that you don’t know how powerful this particular… painkiller will be. Or how effective…” Leone leaned across and set her glass on a small table, in a holder. His was already gone and his hands went to her small waist.“‘V
NORAH & HER UNTAMEABLE BOSS CHAPTER 15
Dammit! The feisty Norah was back… Their passionate moment was definitely gone! He thought of something taunting to say back to her but Leone decided to let her be, at least for now. He’d already had her… well, a part of her anyway… Energy and excitement roared through him. His senses felt like they’d been cranked into hyperdrive. His cock was still throbbing, but Leone knew better. Having sex with her in the backseat of a limo had been a terrible idea, given the circumstances. Doing it again was beyond terrible. It was reckless. Foolish. Still, Leone wanted Norah with a hunger he’d never experienced. But it was wrong to indulge this lust. His brain knew this was going to end poorly. For the good of everyone who depended on him, the best course of action was to calm down, get to the villa, and get ahold of these wayward thoughts and irrational emotions. Leone gave her a quick glance. She was keeping her distance from him, pro

“‘Ciao, puffo!’ (Hi, you smurf!) How about I throw you into the pool?” Leone asked in Italian. “Do it!” arrived the little boy’s defiant answer, also in Italian. The boy’s laughing eyes brightened with excitement. He splayed out his arms and legs, ready to fly through the air into the still, blue water despite being fully dressed.“Nah, I won’t do it,” Leone told him, hitching the boy’s wiry figure onto his arm so they were eye to eye. “That’s your punishment for trying to push me in, ‘nanerottolo’ (you, little gremlin). No swimming at all. Now, go on and say hello to Miss Wilde,” he said, indicating her with a nod. Norah looked at Leone, absolutely mesmerized seeing him acting so… playfully. She waited for the little boy to talk. After all, she was the stranger in this picture. She didn’t want to scare him.“Norah, this little devil is Marco Gritti, my second cousin. He has all of his mother’s sass and twice his father’s disregard for danger.”“Ciao!” he exclaim
NORAH & HER UNTAMEABLE BOSS CHAPTER 17
A few minutes later, Norah was moving around Gabrielle’s kitchen, chatting with her with surprising ease. Perhaps Gabrielle wasn’t resting with her feet up as her husband had demanded, but since she wasn’t holding anything heavier than a paring knife, Norah didn’t say anything. Besides, every birth story she’d ever heard was a lengthy process, happening in the midnight hours. Gabrielle wasn’t complaining of a backache or any of those other things women talked about as labor’s signs. She was relaxed, cheery and so, so nice! Feeling as vilified as she did, Norah was deeply relieved to be finally treated like a normal person.“Did you get that top at the boutique on the far end of the lake?” Gabrielle asked. “I bought the black and gold one two
NORAH & HER UNTAMEABLE BOSS CHAPTER 18
Leone had seen the photos online from today’s shopping trip with Norah and last night’s kiss. The passionate embrace on the stern of the yacht still made his pulse pound just thinking of it. His mind went to the car, the wet heat clenching his fingers, her sweet nectar on his tongue as she shuddered and cried out while orgasming. There were a million reasons why he should merely act like they were an item, rather than make the affair real, but they would make it real. He knew it for sure. They could put it off, because they both knew in their gut that neither of them would come away unharmed, but their making love was inevitable.“What? No comment?” Yari poked. “Leo… ‘Fratello’ (brother), if you’re right and she’s a victim, she had been hurt more than enough for a lifetime. Don’t make h
NORAH & HER UNTAMEABLE BOSS CHAPTER 19
“Oh, dear God… This was such an amazing experience,” Norah said fifty minutes later, as the ambulance carried off a grumbling Gabrielle and a newborn baby boy. The youngest of the Gritti family had made his voice heard for a brief moment, then once he was placed on his mother’s chest, fell asleep, unusually cool, calm, and collected for a baby that tiny.“This is an absolute waste of time. The doctor is just going to tell me that everything is perfectly fine and that I’m free to go home if this is what I want. I wish you hadn’t called them,” Gabrielle scolded Leone on her way out the door.“Nonetheless, amore mio, humor us all, please,” Yari said with odd composure. “Especially me.” He joined his wife while buttoning his clean shirt with hands that might have shaken a little, but he’d barely broken a sweat while carrying Gabrielle to their bed and helping their youngest son come into the world minutes later.“‘Va bene, tesoro’ (Very well, sweetheart),” Gabrielle sa
