Devoted: A Dark Mafia Romance (Beneath The Mask Series Book 3)
Devoted: Chapter 58

Dante snores next to me and I lay there staring at the ceiling fan, sweating from the three layers of clothes I’m wearing. At least at home, I don’t have to share a bed with him. But here, he said it would look odd to everyone if we did that, especially to Uncle Frankie. If he thinks I’m actually sleeping, letting myself be vulnerable near him, he has another thing coming. I’ll just sleep on a couch during the day.

I’ve been desperate for more time with Luca. With every subtle hand brush, with every little grin he gives me, I need more.

I slowly roll onto my side and lean under the bed to grab my ‘secret phone’ and hover over Luca’s name.

R

Are you awake?

It’s three am. I doubt it.

L

Do you want to play, tesoro?

Scooting myself to the edge of the bed, I tiptoe into the en suite, leaving it dark.

R

You know I do.

L

How far do you want to go?

Touch yourself, Rosa. Get yourself soaking and ready for me.

I bite my lip and slide my hand under my panties. Circling my clit nice and slow, just how Luca does it.

L

Good girl. I’m stroking my cock, imagining you spread out on the bed for me, dripping down your thighs.

R

I missed you today.

He’s been locked away in the office overlooking the pool all day with Uncle Frankie, Grayson, and Dante. Despite not being with him, just being near him, even with Dante in the same building, makes it all more tolerable.

I slide a finger in and bite the inside of my cheek to stop the moan.

L

I swear I can hear your breathing. Fuck, Rosa.

God, all I want is this man.

L

This isn’t enough. I need you, Rosa. I want to fill you up and watch you come apart under the stars. Meet me?

Shit, yes. I start shedding layers of clothes until I’m just in my bra and panties.

R

By the pool?

I quietly peer out of the bathroom. My heart is in my throat as Dante rolls on to his back. It stops me in my tracks as I watch his breathing return to normal.

God, I’d love to smother him with a pillow. It’s crossed my mind.

Grabbing my black silk robe from the back of the door, I slip it on.

I tiptoe out of the room and rush down the stairs to the back door.

As my hand connects with the handle, I’m pulled backwards. I squeeze my eyes shut and hope it’s Luca.

My back connects with his body, his rock hard cock presses against my ass. His warm breath beats against my sensitive neck.

“How have we waited this long? It’s been killing me, watching you flit around through the window, flaunting that perfect body in those barely there swimsuits,” he whispers.

His fingers trail to the front of my robe and he unties it. Goosebumps erupt all over my skin as he skims down my stomach, reaching the hem of my thong.

“Are you ready for me, baby?”

I hum in response and nod, resting my head back against his chest.

I feel empty the second he removes himself from me. He grabs my hand and opens the door to the courtyard.

The stars twinkle in the dark sky and the infinity pool in front of us lights up the gardens. They cast a soft glow behind him, creating a halo around his muscular body. He’s like my very own dark angel.

He stops in his tracks and turns to face me. His eyes roam my body and he licks his lips.

“Swim shorts?” I say, raising a brow at him.

“You can’t go for a middle of the night dip without them.” His full lips turn up in one corner in a mischievous grin as he darts towards me, picking me up by the waist.

I giggle as he throws me over his shoulder, his hand slapping my bare ass cheek in time with every step closer to the pool’s edge.

My hands brush over his chiseled abs as he slides me down his body.

Before I have time to register my feet being back on the ground, he laces his hand in my hair and pulls my face into his. Claiming my lips, he kisses me with pure passion. I wrap my hands around his neck and he moans into my mouth.

He breaks the kiss, cupping my cheeks.

He pulls down his swim trunks, his hard cock springing free. I take a step forward and wrap my fingers around his shaft, using my thumb to rub the piercing at the tip.

He throws his head back as I start to pump up and down. “You kill me, woman.”

I drop to my knees on the damp ground, shrugging off the robe and my black cami top, giving him the view I know he wants.

I lick around the tip and pay special attention to the metal bar. His hands grip the back of my head, pushing his cock deeper down my throat.

“Take it all, Rosa.”

He reaches the back of my throat, making tears pool in my eyes.

“My good girl,” he grunts out above me.

I bob up and down, cupping his balls. His hips thrust, and he pounds in and out of my mouth.

“Fuck. Fuck, Rosa!” He erupts in my mouth. I dig my fingers into his thigh, but I don’t swallow.

I suck all the way to the tip and release him and stand. He grins and bites his bottom lip, bringing his thumb to my lips and swiping across.

“You don’t want to swallow today?” His eyebrows raise, and I shake my head.

His salty cum still swirling around in my mouth, he nods and drops to his knees before me. His hands band around my waist and he pulls me in.

“Go on, then, give it to me. My dirty girl.” He tips his head back and opens his mouth. I lean over and spill the contents of him back into his mouth. His hands tighten around me as I do.

He pulls me down to my knees and then clambers over me until I’m lying on my back on the wet tiled floor.

I lift my hips as he rips off my thong and spreads me open. His mouth connects to my pussy. His hands cup my ass and raise me further in the air. The warm liquid from his mouth smothers my pussy. Resting my legs on his shoulders, it takes everything I have not to scream out as his tongue fucks me.

“Shit, Luca.”

He sucks on my clit in response.

“My come only goes in one place, baby. You’ve had your fun. Now it’s my turn.”

He pushes my legs apart and settles on top of me, resting his forearms next to my head. Brushing his fingers along my throat, bringing his lips to mine.

The salty taste of his come swirls around my mouth.

“God, you have no idea how much I love you,” he whispers between kisses.

I do, because I love him just as much.

He tenderly traces my jaw, bringing me back to those dazzling emerald eyes filled with love.

“Soon. I promise you. No more hiding. I will fix this. I will give you everything you’ve ever dreamed of.”

I nod and hold back the tears.

Unless my fiancé drops dead, this will never happen. It’s a dream, a fantasy. But Luca’s the only thing that keeps me alive.

“Want to get in the water?” He flashes his teeth, giving me one of his delicious grins.

He clambers off me and holds out his hand. I accept, and he pulls me up and wraps me in his arms.

Tugging me behind him, he races us to the stairs. I follow him up to my waist in the warm water. He stops and turns, his eyes scanning my body with pure hunger.

He pulls me closer, taking my nipple in his mouth and sucking. “Can you be quiet, little one?”

I smile at my old nickname. “Only if you make me.”

His teeth tighten on my breast in a playful nip. “That smart mouth of yours will get you in trouble.”

Biting my lower lip, it’s impossible to ignore my pussy throbbing, begging for attention.

“How much trouble?”

“If you want a spanking, all you have to do is ask. Is that next up on our list? What do you want to try today?”

After him slapping my ass earlier, I want it, but not as much as I want him inside of me.

“I’ve never done it in a pool,” I say, taking his hand and kissing his palm before lowering his fingers to my neck.

“Woman. I’ll choke you anywhere.”

His hands lace around my throat lightly and my eyes go wide.

“Harder,” I whisper. I avert my gaze to his arm and his eyes light up.

With that, he lifts me by the waist and submerges my body into the water. Wrapping my legs around him, I’m surprised to feel he’s ready to go again.

He walks us over to the edge of the infinity pool, and he presses my back against the glass. I arch by body towards him, urging him to touch me.

His fingers connect to my clit and he rubs slowly before he slams himself into me. I can’t scream past the firm grip he has on my throat.

“Oh god, Luca,” I hiss.

He sticks out his lower lip in an exaggerated pout. “What did I say about your mouth?”

“More. Please, Luca.” I rake my fingers down his sides, trying desperately to pull him into me.

“Fuck, I love it when you moan my name. I can’t wait to hear you scream it again.”

The water swishes around us as he thrusts in and out of me. I do everything in my power not to cry out.

His thumb curves under my jaw as his lips move over my shoulder. “Too much you squeeze my arm. Okay?”

I nod.

“You know how this works, say it.”

I bring my chin down to rest on his knuckle and bite my lower lip. “I understand, Sir.”

“Jesus,” he grits out, thrusting harder into me.

His hand tightens, and I suck in a breath and close my eyes. Letting the splashing of the water take over as he fucks me.

He’s all I can feel. Taking over every single one of my senses. My brain completely focuses on him and the pleasure he brings me. Taking my nipple in his mouth, he sucks, his fingers now wrapped so tightly around my throat I can’t breathe. It’s euphoric–the sensation that normally causes me panic has the complete opposite effect.

My legs tremble around him, and I arch my back, needing more pressure, making his dick hit that spot that sends me barrelling over the edge.

“Baby, come for me,” he growls into my ear.

Stars fill my vision as I explode around him.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” he curses in my ear, spilling himself into me.

He unlaces his fingers and starts to pepper kisses on my neck. His cock is still twitching inside of me.

“You are so perfect, tesoro,” he whispers.

And I smile, looking down as he continues his assault of delicate kisses that tingle my sensitive skin.

This is where I want to be, every day.

When I’m with him, nothing else matters. Not even the demons in my head.

With him I am free. “I love you, Luca.”

He cups my jaw. “I love you, Rosa. I didn’t believe it was possible to replace a love like this. Unconditional, passionate, all-consuming. I can’t live my life without you by my side. Soon, we won’t have to sneak around. I want you to wear my ring and be proud of me.”

“Hey–I am proud of you.” I cut him off and stroke his smooth chest.

“Rosa, I can’t replace any way out of this that doesn’t start a war. I can’t put my whole family in danger.”

I sigh, resting my head against his sticky chest.

“But you are now my family, too. Once I end the Capris, we leave this life and start a new one.”

If he can pull this off, I can wait. I will do what it takes. Once they are out of the picture, I can tell him the truth, and he will finally end Dante. My nightmare will be over.

There is hope.
