"Come here," Giovanni growled and pulled her against him as soon as the elevator doors closed. She fell flush against his chest, wrapping her arms around his neck and crashing her lips into his as they kissed.
Her moans of ecstasy filled the elevator as he caressed her bare body.
Giovanni took control. He grabbed her by the waist and pushed her against the chrome elevator walls, lifting her right leg and placing it on his torso as his hand travelled up her thigh.
"Oh, Giovanni!" She cried out when his fingers brushed her clitoris again. She was dripping wet.
"Fuck," He muttered against her neck. "You're wet. It's so wet for me. I want to fuck you."
Her eyes flew open, and she nodded. "Please."
The elevator doors dinged, and they rushed out, not minding if anyone was standing before them. The door to his suit was three doors down.
He lifted her off the floor, pressing his palm into her soft buttocks as they kissed. He pushed her against his door and took out his key card as he awkwardly tried to swipe it on the lock. Serafina was like a ravaging beast, kissing him and grinding herself against his crotch. His groin threatened to burst through his slacks.
The door finally opened, and they pushed in. He kicked the door shut with his feet before he continued to kiss her. "Take off your clothes. I want to see you naked."
She slipped down his body and did as he told, taking off her dress. He watched her do this with so much sensuality, and each time he reminded himself that he hadn't come here for this, his brain pushed it behind him.
Serafina was drop-dead gorgeous. She was the epitome of seduction. He had to give her that. It was the reason she had been prevailing the whole time. Damn.
She bared her perky breasts before him, pulling the dress lower down her belly and showing off her perfectly carved abs. Fuck. The gown finally hit the ground in a pool of midnight blue around her heeled feet, and she was dressed in nothing but a pair of thongs.
"What are you waiting for?"
In two strides, he was already standing before her. He pulled her in and kissed her. His right hand brushed her hard nipples, and she moaned, tilting her head to the side as his lips brushed her skin. She wanted hickeys tonight. She wanted it to remind her that she had been fucked silly tonight.
Her fingers found the buttons of his shirt, and she took off his jacket before his shirt followed. He was left in nothing but his slacks.
Pulling away, she stared at him before going on her knees and grabbing his crotch. He hit the wall behind him and hissed as pleasure shot up his head.
She looked up at him and bit her lower lip. "I want to suck your cock. Would you like that?"
"I would love that."
She released his belt and zipped down his fly ever so slowly, watching as tension built up between them.
She teased him, loving how he tethered at the edge of his self-control, and when she was done with him, he was spasming and releasing into her mouth.
"You're not going free after you made me come that aggressively, Serafina." Giovanni grabbed her by the throat and lifted her off the ground.
She pulled away, still naked and in her heels and smiled. "Why don't we take a chill pill?"
He shot a brow up. "Why? When we can ravish each other," He whispered as he walked back to her, pushing his full body against her. Good Lord, he had the most beautiful body she'd ever seen, and from this angle, she noticed his skin was tan and perfectly toned. "And make the most out of tonight."
"You have me for the whole of tonight, Giovanni."
He smirked. "I love when you call my name like that."
"Well, I'd be screaming your name at the top of my voice later tonight," she patted his chest and went to the table. Two glass cups stood beside a decanter, and she poured them both drinks before turning to him. "Why don't you clean up? There's a lot I don't know about you, and I'd love us to talk about it over a drink."
He nodded and slipped into the bathroom, and as he walked away from her, she stared at his butt, wondering how many squats he did every day to achieve this perfectly sculpted ass. She was also going to ask him if he was a Greek god, but she remembered she had a job that night.
Hurrying across the room, she grabbed her purse and hurried back, pulling it open as she extracted the pill from its bottle. She looked sideways before popping the pill in.
That was when she heard the sound of his hum. Her heart thumped wildly against her chest as she willed the pill to fizzle out.
It finally did when he stepped out. She immediately grabbed his drink and handed it to him with a sultry smile.
He took it from her and stared down at the drink. Something flashed in his eyes before he looked at her. "So what's it you want to talk about?"
"Naked?"
He laughed. "I plan on fucking you after that. I don't think I'm here for conversations. I'm sure you aren't, either."
Serafina closed her eyes and nodded before she sipped her drink. "Of course, I am not. Let's drink up."
"Cognac?" He asked as he looked into the drink again.
"Yes." She replied
He shook his head and placed it back on the table. "Not my thing."
"What do you take? Every man loves cognac." She tilted her head and bit her lips.
"Brandy, champagne, freshly brewed cognac..." They both exchanged glances, and Serafina suspected he knew she had drugged his drink. Who the hell was he?
He grabbed her chin and tipped her chin up to him, and before he dove in to kiss her, he whispered against her lips. "And female juices."
Their kiss was intense. Serafina felt a wave of intense desire burns through her skin. The touch of his hands on her felt like a hot iron was branding her. She couldn't contain the feeling, and not even her moans were enough to voice out how he made her feel.
It had to be that she hadn't been touched by a man she desired in over a year. It had to be.
He lifted her off the ground with ease and pushed her against the wall, and once again, he got hard.
He fucked her against the wall, pushed her into the desk and rammed into her, and her cries of pleasure filled the room. They moved to the bed and migrated to the floor, legs tingling as they both fought for dominance, and when they reached their climax, it felt like waves crashing into a village, destroying everything in its path. It was beautifully catastrophic.
The next morning, Serafina woke up as early as five o'clock to the sound of the city morning. Last night might have been a total failure, but that didn't mean she couldn't try this morning. This was her first time experiencing this, but she was sure she could pull it off. Giovanni was fast asleep beside her, and his arm was wrapped around her waist. She stared at him for a while, memorizing his beautiful face and how peaceful he looked in his sleep, feeling bad that this would be her last time seeing this man.Well, that was the price she had to pay for being a thief. But she promised not to forget his face or how he'd made her feel last night.She gently pushed his arm off her, careful not to wake him, as she slipped out of his bed. Her dress and shoes were sprawled at the other end of the bed, and as she picked it, her eyes caught a pure silver wristwatch on the bed stand. She looked at him before sneaking towards it and slipping it into her purse.That wasn't all. She wanted more.
The first day he met her, she looked really bothered. He'd been watching her before they both fell in line and when she turned to look at him with her dreamy eyes, he was immediately smitten. But there was something lurking in her eyes: Fear, apprehension, angst and the need to escape. He knew it was coming from an external force and when he looked around, he noticed that she was being followed by a man. That had been his opportunity to help her escape her killer. When he'd asked her if she was okay, she'd nearly burst into tears and the sheer thought of seeing this angelic woman cry drove him to madness. He had suddenly been overcome with this desire to protect her, the desire to kill anyone trying to harm her and while she slept on his shoulder, he was filled with dread at the fact that he had fallen for a total stranger. It wasn't his thing to do and luckily, he had gotten a call that had him leaving at the next stop, not failing to drink in the details of her beautiful face bef
Serafina's eyes fluttered open and she sat up immediately to realise that she was no longer in the SUV she'd been thrown into. A splitting headache banged away at her head, causing her to wince painfully and when she finally got a hold of herself, she realised she'd been leaning against a car. Memories of the past hour came rushing back and she glared at the men standing before her with so much hatred. "Did I really have to be drugged for me to get here?" The men gave her no reply. She was pulled by the arms and led into large, wrought iron gates like a criminal being led away to prison. But this prison was paradise. Was it possible for a penthouse mansion to have such a spacious compound because she'd never seen one before? At the far end of the large expanse of land sat a tall mansion, a huge percentage of it made up of glass. The concrete walls were either looking like they were made out of stone by expert masons or painted in white. A fountain was situated in the middle of t
Giovanni shut the door to his study, breathing as a smile creeped into his face. His plans were going smoother than usual and at this point, it had him worried. He wasn't supposed to be doing this. Hell, he didn't want her working for him as a faux seductress. The idea of her seducing another man infuriated him. He knew how many times he'd wanted to stop her from signing the damn contract and telling her the truth. But not yet. He wasn't ready to tell her why he was doing this. "I see why you couldn't just leave her be," Geraldo said as he shut the door behind him. He must have seen her in the living room. "I see why Drake made her special. She's so beautiful, fuck." "Stay the hell away from her." Giovanni growled, feeling a need to get every man out of her way. Geraldo laughed and raised both of his hands in surrender. "You must have forgotten that I am married to a lovely wife with kids who I cherish so much. She's turning you into something else, Giovanni. When was the last t
"Thank you," Serafina smiled softly at Geraldo. They had finally gotten to the estate she was going to be living in after a long ride and he offered to take the chip off her skin. "I wonder why I didn't explode into bits because I have moved more than five hundred metres away from his suite." Geraldo laughed and she wondered what was funny about her statement. But she didn't care. As long as this chip was out of her body, she could escape easily. She didn't trust Giovanni. She also needed answers from Drake. She needed to know if a wager had been placed on her head. All she needed was one night to escape and find out. Geraldo continued his drive into the estate, only stopping when two hefty men in suits and dark shades stopped before him. "When does it begin?" "Today," Giovanni replied. "He wants it to be acted on with immediate effect." They nodded and stepped back and Giovanni continued his ride. "Who are those men?" Serafina asked as she watched them climb into their car.
"My name is Sigrid," The cook continued. " I'll be taking care of all your meals." Sigrid looked to be in her late twenties. Definitely older than Serafina but she was polite. She had Norwegian features. Her hair was of a light, flaxen hue, falling in soft, silken tresses down her shoulder, her eyes were as blue as the seas and she had a well defined jaw. She was a few inches taller than Serafina and had an athletic build. Serafina was pushed to ask why she wasn't playing a sport but she clamped her lips shut and smiled at the lady. "Nice to meet you, Sigrid. My name is Serafina and it's nice to meet you." Sigrid smiled. "I was informed of your arrival so I decided to put something together for you. I made stir-fry pasta. Would you like to have some after you are well rested?" Serafina hadn't eaten a thing all day. The day hadn't even ended and a lot had happened already. From Giovanni blackmailing her into working for him to signing a contract to this and all she wanted to do
"You're evil and manipulative. I think you're doing this to punish me for trying to steal from you this morning." "Then you're wrong, Serafina." "I already told you I hate being called that. It's Marcia." She gritted, her eyes wide in anger. "I don't care what you hate. I am going to call you what I want to call you." Giovanni replied in a cool voice. "What do you want from me?" She cried in frustration. "I think I made it quite clear earlier today. I want you to work for me," He replied, his grey eyes undressing her. "Need me to shed more light on it again? I don't mind." Serafina bit her lower lip in frustration and turned away from him. She walked to the bay window at the other side of the spacious living room and stared at the other building directly after the pool. How did it come to this? If she'd known, she would have just slept with him and left the next morning. But she wanted more. She always did. It was becoming a terrible habit. She ignored the fact that she wa
Serafina sat in silence for the whole drive. Giovanni didn't say a word either. Instead, he turned up the radio and focused his attention on the steering wheel. They finally got to the clothes store. It was one of the most expensive stores in downtown New York and Serafina could tell that it was from its building alone. It towered high, a mini skyscraper mainly composed of silver sheets on its walls and double glazed floor to ceiling windows. On its roof was a silver logo, emblazoned on the wall. From outside the car, Serafina could make out low hanging chandeliers reflecting pale gold lights and shiny furniture. Impeccably dressed staff walked around, all looking like they were made for that setting. Giovanni stepped out of the car and adjusted his shirt before running his fingers through his hair and once again, Serafina was reminded of how attractive he looked. A fucking woman magnet even if she hadn't experienced it in real time. She followed behind him, suddenly aware of
