Devoted: A Dark Mafia Romance (Beneath The Mask Series Book 3)
Devoted: Chapter 78

The rain hammers down, and I take a drag and exhale the smoke, tipping my head back against the seat of my patio furniture.

My body reacts the second that door slides open, her big brown eyes meeting me as she holds onto the side of the door. My cock immediately hardens at the sight of her in my shirt.

“Are you okay?” Her sweet voice makes my heart pound.

I nod and tap on my lap. She warily looks at the rain and darts under the canopy. I groan as she shuffles her ass on my thigh, trying to replace her comfy spot.

She tips her head back and rests it on my shoulder, exposing that slender neck.

“Want a drag?” I rasp, trailing my other hand along her neck to watch the goosebumps erupt on her skin.

“Please.”

I inhale a deep drag and grip her cheeks. I bend over, so my mouth hovers above hers. Her full lips open for me and I exhale into her mouth, watching as her chest rises. She tips her head back, releasing the smoke into the air that surrounds us in a haze.

She switches positions and straddles me. “Baby,” I groan out as her pussy grinds against my cock.

I don’t have the restraint I need right now.

Plucking the cigarette from my hand, she takes one last drag, desire flashing in her eyes. She flicks it from between her fingers out into the rain. Her hands frame my face. “I want you, Luca.”

I squeeze my eyes shut. “I can’t be the man you need me to be tonight, tesoro. I don’t trust myself.”

I’m fuelled with rage and adrenaline. I’m covered in the blood of her fiancé.

“You might not trust yourself, but I trust you, Luca. You need this, so use me. Let me be the one to take care of you.”

I shake my head. I can’t risk hurting her. She forces me to look at her.

“I’m not a fragile princess anymore, Luca. I know what I crave, and it’s you.” She looks down at the red stains on my shirt.

She leans forward, her breasts pressing into me, her plump lips brush along my stubble, sending a rush to my dick.

“I’m all yours now, yours to claim.”

Oh, she knows how to get to me. My eyes lock on her neck, and I bite down on my lip. I can’t help but think how beautiful she would look with red marks along her throat.

Running her hands through my messy hair, her nails scratch my scalp, pushing a groan from me.

“And I’m yours, all of me,” I pant.

Our eyes lock, the hunger in hers matching my own. I could never deny this woman. She can take my heart out of my chest and keep it if she wants.

“Make me yours, Luca. We’ve waited long enough for this moment. Take it.”

My hand laces around her neck, my mouth just above hers as she sucks in a breath.

She lifts her hips and gives me a teasing smile as she seductively runs her hand down her stomach to disappear under the hem of her top.

She slips those fingers up to reveal their glisten. I’m salivating at the scent of her sweetness.

“This is how ready for you I am, Luca.” Her eyes sparkle under the lights.

I take her fingers in my mouth and suck them clean. My dick nearly explodes as my tastebuds erupt to her wetness.

“You’re a goddamn angel.”
