"Angioletta?" Dante called, his voice carrying a mischievous lilt that made my lips twitch in amusement.
"Yes?" I replied, only to squeal when his strong arms scooped me up from behind, spinning me before he planted me back on the ground.
"Mine," he growled playfully, burying his face in my neck, peppering kisses along my skin as I laughed breathlessly.
"Only yours," I giggled, turning to face him, my smile radiant. Gripping his collar, I pulled him down to me, pressing a teasing kiss to his lips before darting back, my eyes sparkling with challenge.
"Careful," he warned with a smirk. "You'll only make me want you more."
