"Do you think it was a mistake?" I asked, leaning closer and pulling her waist toward me. Her nipples pressed against my chest through the sheer fabric of her nightgown, her skin flushing and her breath hitching as she looked down to avoid my gaze. "It was a mistake then?" I repeated, gently lifting her chin with my finger to meet my gaze. My whiskey eyes locked onto her silver ones, and she bit her lower lip. Slowly, I brushed my finger against her lip, and she closed her eyes, breaking eye contact for just a moment. When she opened her eyes, her gaze flickered to my lips before darting back to my eyes. "Yes, it was a mistake, but..." she added, "I want to make the same mistake again." The moment those words escaped her lips, I crashed my mouth onto hers with a force that stole her breath away. ·:*¨༺ ♱✮♱ ༻¨*:· 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐤𝐜𝐢, daughter of the Turkish mafia head, is set to marry 𝐄𝐯𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐢 in a bid to end the long-running rivalry between their families.
