HER DEEPEST DARKEST DESIRES

CHAPTER TWO

ADDY

Today was the day of one of Papá’s numerous dinners he always organized in order to “show me off” to his friends and associates. But I knew it was one of his ploys to get me in an arranged marriage in exchange for weapons, allies or drugs. Ever since, Papá found out about my past he has been all out to get me married before word gets out that I murdered my would be husband ...Yes you saw and heard right but not because he really because murder was like a daily routine in his line of work but because I was always a tool to form alliances for him. As a girl who was brought up in an Italian/Mafian home we always knew our lives were never ours to own or decide .

I was in my room painting my toe nails rather too slowly when mamma barged into my room and out came the Italian words flying out of her mouth. “Adelaide!” What is wrong with you?”

You are fully aware that your papá would kill you if he found out that you are not dressed for this?”. “ Come on mamma what’s the occasion anyway if not to sell me off to God knows who?”

As I was still throwing my tantrums, Mamma walked to my closet and began searching for a dress. I think she found one. A fish tail black dress to go with a six inch stiletto red bottoms to be precise. She threw everything at me and told me to get ready in 10 while she goes to pacify papa that something went wrong with my dress.

I stormed into the bathroom while murmuring words that nobody would ever care to listen to and slammed the bathroom doors.

An hour later, I was done with dreesing and putting my makeup and was putting finishing touches on my makeup when I heard a knock and the servant told me that papá asked her to come with me. I asked her to leave that I would be behind her.

On my way to the diner where the dinner was held, A glint caught my eye on the marble floor and I crouched to examine it and it turned out to be shardes of glass which must have been broken in the rush. I quickly straightened up to move faster inorder not to anger my Papá thereby straining his already thin patience.

While being in my own little world, I collided with a strong torso in a custom three-piece suit which hit more than a few of my hot buttons, but it was the tall, powerfully lean body inside it that made it sensational. Still, as hot as all that magnificent maleness was, it wasn’t until I reached the man’s face that I went down for the count.

Wow. Just…wow.As I stumbled backwards and almost fell backwards in my heels, He caught me with a strong grip and pulled me into a warm but strong hug and then it happened I was lost in a world of my own becayse Damnnnn!!!!! This guy smelled sinfully good. It wasn't his cologne, it was either his shampoo or his body wash. But it was really mouth watering as he is.

When I looked up, I met the most amazing and mesmerizing eyes I have ever seen l. It was the colour of the ocean which drew me in while spiraling me out of control. I have never felt this way before... Ever since whatever episode happened with my ex. I made it a point of duty to always and never have any attachment whatsoever to any male.

Blinking out of my semi-daze, I released him. He wasn’t just beautiful; he was…enthralling. He was the kind of guy that made a woman want to rip his shirt open and watch the buttons scatter along with her inhibitions. I looked at him in his civilized, urbane, outrageously expensive suit and thought of raw, primal, sheet-clawing fucking.I know I shouldn't be thinking of such for a man I just met but... everything be damned I wanted this man and I wanted him bad.

Meanwhile he just stared at me for little while longer and left without a backward glance. I guess we are both soulless.
