"Turn," he growls, and I can see that he's barely containing himself. I immediately face the wall and wait for the next command. It feels dirty, like I'm his sex toy, but I love it. "Hands on the wall, feet apart," he says. He kicks my feet apart at the same time as he gives the demand, just as impatient as I am. He pulls out my hips so I'm leaning forward, then smacks my ass. He groans deeply in his throat and says, "Seeing your ass jiggle under my hand is f-cking beautiful." I'm squirming, wishing I could put my legs back together to get some friction. "Please Cass, I need it," I whine in a voice that doesn't sound like my own. "You know I can't resist when you beg, my angel," he praises, then in contrast, slams into me brutally and starts f-cking me hard. *** Alexa relocated to Chicago to work as an executive assistant to get away from her family and Cassio was exiled by his older brother, the don of the biggest Italian mafia family in New York, to run the Chicago operation. Alexa is Cass's assistant at Ombra, the legitimate company he built over the 10 years he's been in Chicago. Both are independent and work obsessed and neither has any interest in ever falling in love. A mistake at work turns into an opportunity and Cass offers Alexa a contract as his fake girlfriend to keep ambitious women away. The two make a great team and in such close proximity they can't help but discover that their sexual chemistry is off the charts. Alexa just has one condition and Cass is more then happy to accept. Don't fall in love. As their fake relationship develops, Alexa learns that Cass isn't quite the upstanding businessman she thought he was and Cass learns that his heart, that he long thought was dead, can still beat. Too bad it takes Alexa getting kidnapped for him to realize just how much she means to him.
