"You're blushing". He spoke in such a seductive tone that made me almost catch my breath. "Like a pretty little rose".

His breath was cool and soothing against my blistering skin. I was almost startled by the blazing look of desire that burnt within his eyes. They were dark and his pupils were dilated. I felt like prey in the grasp of a predator.

"But..." The air escaping his mouth hit my lips, making them tremble. "I know how deadly Roses can be. Even the most beautiful flowers can be dangerous".

"If I'm the Rose, then you..." I pushed my finger into his solid chest before continuing; "must be the thorn".

Matteo peered down at my crossed legs and spoke the words with a smirk. "That's right". He paused before making eye contact with me again; "A rose amongst thorns".

"Did you enjoy having his lips on your skin?" he whispers seductively with his lips brushing up against my earlobe. He traces a finger from the valley of my breasts down to my belly button causing goosebumps to appear on my skin and a shiver to run down my spine. "I love how you react to my touch. So responsive." He looks me dead in the eye while keeping his finger lingering on my skin. "I bet he can't make you feel as good as I can." I finally regain some of my composure and gently caress one of my fingers along his jaw, feeling his rough stubble on my fingertips. "You wouldn't be able to handle me, amore." *************************** Raina Emerson is the CEO of Emerson Enterprises, a company she built from the ground up, and one of the richest people in America.

Caught in his grip by lttlilly

18+ Disclaimer: this book contains violence, sex scene and dark themes that can easily trigger someone. Kindly don't read if you are easily impressed. In the city that never sleeps, where power is won with blood and money, Catherine is the trophy wife of an ambitious financial consultant, living a life of superficial luxury. When her husband, driven by a hunger for power, tries to ingratiate himself with the Italian mafia, their fragile balance is shattered. It is in this chaos that Catherine meets Matteo Caruso, the feared leader of the city's most powerful clan. Matteo is a man of few words, preferring to assert his will through decisive actions and ruthless gestures. Drawn to Catherine's irresistible beauty and magnetic allure, he decides that she must be his, at any cost. Their forbidden attraction turns into a dangerous game, where desire and fear intertwine in a whirlwind of passion and violence. But as Catherine's world crumbles around her, buried secrets emerge, threatening everything she has ever known. --- Prologue. Catherine leaned trembling against the bathroom counter, her breath uneven as she tried to calm the frantic beating of her heart. It had been a terrible idea. She shouldn't have accepted the invitation. She should have convinced her husband to stay home. But now, with Matteo Caruso's burning gaze still etched on her skin, she knew she had gone too far. The door opened behind her, and the enveloping scent of his expensive perfume overwhelmed her. Everything about him was now her sweet curse. She didn't need to turn around to know who it was. "Don't resist, Catherine." Matteo whispered, his voice low, hoarse, and heavy with a dark promise. "We are meant to be together."

"Stand up.", he said to me. "What?", I asked confused. "STAND UP.", he ordered slightly aggressive. I quickly got up from the bed and stood in front of him. "Take off your underwear.", he demanded. "Wh-" "Now." Doing what he told me to I slowly slipped my underwear off. I was now completely naked as his eyes roamed over my whole body again. "Lay down on your back." Once again I obeyed him without talking back this time which caused him to smirk. Then he grabbed my hands and cuffed them to the bed frame. My eyes widened and as I was about to ask him what he's doing he held up one of his hands. Understanding his signal I remained silent.

He drew my face down to his. His nose touched mine, and his tongue came out to do a quick swoop against my lower lip. I opened my mouth and attached it to his. He moaned, and we tangled our tongues together. His hands went lower, grasping onto my hips, to pull me down. I felt his hardness and whimpered. It felt huge and rock hard. I eased up, just to come back, and rub against it. He pulled my hair back, placing kisses down my neck. "Wow," I sighed, lamely, while I rubbed my pussy against his steel cock. He gave my ass a light spank and leaned his head away from me. "Back up a minute." He looked as though he was in pain. I frowned, doing as he asked. He reached into his pants and my eyes went wide. He was about to show me his cock. "Let me see it baby." I moaned, like the wanton slut I am. He smiled and pulled out a gun. "See?" I screamed, falling from his lap, and landing in the garbage that fills my living room.

"No one speaks to me the way you have been lately" He warned, his eyes trained on mine. "What are you going to do, kill me?" I answered back, my gaze focused only on his kissable full lips. "Much worse." I didn't have time to comprehend anything before he gripped my hips and slammed me down onto the bed, making my breath hitch.
