This forbidden yet desirable proximity, at the moment, is causing my breath to be held. My heart is out of control now, as the gangster doesn't take his pressed body from off mine.

But internally his aura is what I crave, sadistically. And there's probably nothing I can ever do to change that.

Rio is close, very close. His wild warmth is radiating, consuming my every longing thought of everything he's capable of doing right now - to me. It's unpredictable, his next move.

The gangster towers me, staring deep into my brown eyes.

I told them because I love you, darlin'; he said against me. Still, I am lost for words, because only my profuse emotions compel me; and I am lost and laced in his domineering gaze. And I'm afraid I can't pull away.

No, I'm afraid I don't want to.

Rio's hand grips onto my upper waist, his skin magnifying on mine. And today - out of all days - I chose to not vesture a bra.

I feel his thumb circulate my skin, barely touching below one of my breasts; and I suck in an intense breath against his hard figure.

"Now, you know the plan, of what we're gonna do about this gang targeting us. Are you OK with it? You know the costs, this is crime, darlin'." He says lowly, never releasing my brown eyes.

I breathe heavily against him, biting down on my lip. I nod in return, in understanding.

I glance between either of his dark brown irises, my heart still racing for him. And my pink lips part.

"I know what I signed up for." I breathe.

Rio watches me intently, a moment, before his full lips tug upward - and his eyes glint gallantly. Then, still pressed against me, the gangster reaches to take off his leather jacket, though his eyes never tear from mine. I hear the clothing hit the floor, before the leather slipped from his hands.

Rio deliberately grazes either of his own hands against my own, carefully lifting my hands to hold my arms above my head. Before I thought he was dominating, now I know that I was wrong; and that the gangster now takes me by control more than ever as I'm suppressant to moving.

His grip is strong on my wrists, not that I try to resist. And he puts the both of my wrists together only of him to grasp them with one hand of his alone - as his free hand slips underneath my shirt once more.

My hot skin tingles at his touch again. And as his hand travels up again, I bite down on my lip rather harshly to keep from moaning.

He pulls me close to him when my chest smacks against his own. I throw my head back, biting onto my lip harder the very moment he clutches onto my leg - his hand no longer beneath my top. And before I know it he hoists me up; moments before I'm placed onto the cool and smooth granite countertop of the island - where the dirty money once was.

I snake my now free hands around his tattooed neck instantly, taking advantage of the freedom I now have been gifted. The gangster's full lips trail down my jaw - as he buries his face in the crook of my neck and plants feathery kisses. I pull him closer onto my heated figure, if even possible.

I hurriedly tug at his black shirt on his back, trying to pull it off him. As his black shirt is pulled off from his torso, he gently yet forcibly tears my own shirt - ripping it from my body. And his full, tasty lips find mine.

His lips move hard against mine, but slowly. Rio's strong hands tug at my jeans, before unbuttoning them himself. Meanwhile, I cup his warm cheeks, kissing him passionately.

I feel my pants slide down my legs, as I'm seated on the island, his hard frame standing in between either of my legs.

Now, his warm hand finds my back, resting his hot palm below my neck - as his other hand latches onto my leg, wrapping it around his toned and unclothed waist. The entire time his luscious lips never part from mine.

That is, before I part them myself. I place a hand on his rapidly rising chest, gently pulling him only inches away, enough for me to gather breath, and words.

I stare into either of his longing irises, captured by his overwhelming aura. My pink lips part once more.

"I love you, too." I breathe calmly, feeling a rapid lub dub just by the surface of his bare chest beneath my perspiring palm.

I flick my gaze down onto his full lips, seeing them twitch, before averting my gaze to his blazing irises. Rio's brown eyes penetrate me, as his hands trail up to hold my face.

In his embracive hold, I catch sight of Rio's tasty lips curve; forming a genuine smile.

Then he captures my pink lips in his, hard and passionately, in return.
