UNHOLY DESIRE My home, my rules
DEIRDREI paused by the doorway alongside Matteo, realizing we stood in front of what I assumed was his room.With my arms crossed, I spoke up. "I thought we were going to discuss this in the living room."Matteo turned to me, his gaze assessing me. He remarked, "I should be the one concerned, considering you're now wearing my things without permission. I can't predict what else you might do."The audacity!I clenched my teeth, unable to hold back. I shot him a glare. "You left me with no choice. And how dare you take my clothes? That was never part of the deal!""This is my home, my rules," Matteo stated firmly."This is a mistake," I muttered, shaking my head. He held the door open wider after entering.I was reluctant to step in with him, but it seemed as though if I didn't, he was going to make me.As I stepped into the room, Matteo shut the door behind us. I stood close to it, still holding onto myself as if it could shield me from whatever might transpire in this room.The space
UNHOLY DESIRE I mean no harm
DEIRDREThe next morning, I was awakened from my slumber by Kendall. She kept jumping on my bed, tugging at my robe.She wasn't the only one, although she was the major reason. I heard voices outside my door, making me wonder if there was a special visitor in the penthouse."Mama!" Kendall exclaimed, her hands tangled in my hair, and she pulled, making me wince."That hurts, Kenny," I groaned, gently removing her hand. I sat up straight as a knock followed by Matteo's voice sounded."Daddy has a woman over," Kendall whispered, making me frown."What do you mean he has a woman over?" I asked."There's a woman waiting for him outside," she said, her nose wrinkling.Kendall surprised me most of the time. For a child her age, she was much more eloquent than I would have imagined. Most of the words she used surprised me even more. I believe she learned them from her friends in the playgroup she attended, perhaps from one of her teachers."Darling," Matteo's voice called from outside my doo
UNHOLY DESIRE No one dare lays a hand...
DEIRDREIt hadn't been more than two hours since Matteo had given me the time I needed. I emerged from the room, my luggage in tow.As I reentered the living room, I spotted Matteo, Lucia, and Kendall. Kendall rushed towards me, her ice cream cone forgotten in her hand."Mama!" she exclaimed, gripping my legs. "You look so pretty.""Thank you, baby," I replied, tousling her hair.Matteo came over to me, leaning in. "You look good."I nodded. It wasn't the first time he'd complimented me, and I doubted it would be the last.Matteo had changed into a different outfit. Instead of the brown two-piece suit he'd worn earlier, he now sported a tailored navy blazer matched with a crisp white dress shirt. He paired it with well-fitted khaki trousers and a complementary brown leather belt.Lucia approached him, adjusting the navy blue silk pocket square, then gestured to the brown loafers he wore."What?" Matteo asked."You promised to get me one," she reminded him, and Matteo nodded in acknowl
UNHOLY DESIRE Keep your wife safe
MATTEO"You brought her," I turned to stare at Jackson. He strode towards me and wrapped his arms around me."Is there a problem with that?" I asked."I just feel with what is going on, it might have been best if she stayed home," Jackson said."Perhaps," I murmured. Even though he was somewhat right, I didn't see a reason Deirdre should stay at home when she could be with me, and I would protect her."I learned of some activities here," I said, glancing around. Although I could not ascertain if I was being watched or not, I felt like it. "The locals told me there were at least ten killings in the past few days, and all weren't from this region. I remember one of the locals telling me they had weird tattoos and hard currency on them after the police came for investigation.""I received a report as well; hence, I am here," Jackson said, handing me a sheet of paper he had torn open from the brown envelope."Who brought this?" I asked."From the boss, it was addressed to you," Jackson sa
UNHOLY DESIRE Step back
MATTEO POV"Advantage?" I scoffed, downing my third drink for the night. Deirdre had made it seem like I had assaulted her.She had made me look like a fucking pervert. While I'd admit she was in shock, she was of legal age, and I wasn't much older than her. We first met when I was twenty-seven and she was eighteen. While a nine-year gap wasn't common, it did happen in relationships.Moreover, Deirdre had approached me herself. She had seduced me. I resisted as much as I could until I couldn't anymore, yet she was painting me as the villain. I felt somewhat disgusted with myself. I didn't understand why, but the way she had expressed it with so much hatred as if I had taken her against her will, was deeply unsettling.Maybe she didn't mean what she had said, but it was Deirdre, and I saw the hatred in her eyes."She's attractive," I heard whispers swirling around me."Damn, I'd have those legs around me, even if just for tonight," another voice chimed in.I didn't want to look, but ju
UNHOLY DESIRE Consider it a gift
DEIDREI fastened the top button of Matteo's dress shirt and rolled up the sleeves before heading toward the only window in the spacious cabin. The view of the sea was mesmerizing.I wasn't really a fan of the sea. I suppose not knowing how to swim was the main reason, but still, it had always held a fascination for me. I'd always wanted to get a close-up view like this.As I opened the window, letting my head out, a cool breeze tousled my hair, and I heaved out a breath. I straightened up when I heard the door creak open.My brows furrowed as Matteo entered the room. It had been a while since he left, and I hadn't expected him back until evening. He seemed to be in a bad mood, and I wondered who had upset him.I turned away, focusing on the beautiful blue sea, taking a deep breath. I could feel Matteo behind me."Mia Moglie," he whispered, leaning in. His body pressed against my back, his shirt riding up as he held onto my waist."What is it, Matteo?" I murmured, biting my lower lip
UNHOLY DESIRE Mother of my child
DEIRDREAn hour passed after Matteo left, and he never returned. He had reminded me to be outside by 7, and it was already 6 p.m.I tried to ask him where he went, but I never received a response to my text. I even called him, but he didn't pick up the phone. I couldn't help but wonder if he was avoiding me. Maybe. But then, I couldn't think of anything I did wrong to deserve being ignored. Or perhaps I did.Sighing, I walked towards the full-length mirror, took off Matteo's shirt, and slipped into the dress.Its fabric, a lustrous, bright blue satin, seemed to capture the essence of the deep, cerulean sea. The sequins were meticulously arranged in intricate patterns, glimmering like a thousand stars. They caught the low light in a dazzling display, casting prismatic reflections that danced across the room.As I touched the elegantly tailored bodice, my gaze moved to the sweetheart neckline that accentuated the curves of my torso. Delicate straps adorned with tiny crystal beads framed
UNHOLY DESIRE A siren like you
DEIDRE"Wait," Matteo called out as I headed towards the door. He reached into his pocket, took out a small box, and stepped towards me.Raising my eyebrows, I stared at him as he opened it. Inside was a white gold necklace with a vivid blue sapphire set in platinum, surrounded by brilliant diamonds. It was stunning and undoubtedly costly. I couldn't understand why Matteo was giving me another necklace when I was already wearing one.I shook my head as he approached, and I pointed to the one around my neck. "I already have one.""I want you to have this," He said, getting even closer.I began to shake my head, but he gripped the locket of the necklace, snapping it open. "Kendall," He murmured, his eyes flicking to mine before glancing at his hand. "I still want you to have this," He repeated.Then he stepped behind me, unhooked the necklace from around my neck, and dropped it into his pocket. I felt the coolness of the white gold chain around my neck.After he was done, I looked at m
