Chereads / Destined The Mafia's Lover / Chapter 23 - Raven

Chapter 23 - Raven

Raven woke sleepy and sated, they spent the night worshiping one another bodies doing everything except the one thing she wanted more than anything to do with him. But she wasn't ready for that step, and he knew it also and didn't pressure her for more than she could give.

His body was powerful, and muscle bound, his face had a beautifully chiselled jaw line. His six pack abs were the most perfect chest I have ever seen, his large rough hands and epic thighs are thigh clenchingly epic.

His body was an erotic masterpiece and as an artist she could only appreciate the view.

She smiled and tried to turn but Angelo had caged her within his strong arms and a powerful thigh draped over her legs. Being unable to move an inch she could only laugh.

"Good morning la mia alba." His cello like voice sounded beside my ear.

"Okay if you are awake let me go you dam clingy octopus." Raven pushed at his arms, but they didn't budge. His warm breath tickled her neck and sent a shiver down her spine.

"Five minutes." Angelo murmured. His voice still sounded so sleepy.

"This isn't up for negotiation." Raven huffed. She did enjoy his cuddles, but her bladder had started to protest.

"I am very good at negotiating and always have my way." Angelo said as he snuggled against her further.

After another squeeze she huffed out, "Until you meet me. Now let me go so I can use the bathroom."

Angelo sighed and kissed the back of her neck before his powerful arms let her go.

Raven grabbed at the top sheet wrapping it around her naked body before running off to the bathroom to relieve herself.

On returning from the bathroom, she noticed the bed was empty, but she heard Angelo's deep melodic voice coming from the living room. She quickly dressed in black leggings and a dark green crop top with long sleeves. She put on her black converse and her hair up in a messy bun.

She wanted to see him before he left for work, so she rushed, stumbling as she opened the door.

A reassuring handheld her and steadied her as she stood. Her cheeks flamed with embarrassment.

"I have meetings to get too… but I can cancel if you need me." Angelo enquired.

"Who needs you?" She answered with a cheeky smile.

Angelo smirked back, "Then why where you are rushing out into my arms."

"I have to go to the gallery to finalize the sale of my paintings." Raven glanced at his body; he was dressed in a black three piece suit.

The tie was wonky, and she reached out and pulled him down instantly hushing the words he was about to say.

She fixed his tie and smoothed it out before smiling up at him, "There now, you are all ready to go."

His eyes where dark with hunger as he continued to stare at her.

With mischief in her smile, she ducked out past him and rushed to the door. As she closed the door, she heard his urgent footsteps behind her. She giggled and rushed towards the stairs.

He caught up to her as she reached the banister and wrapped an arm around her slim waist and bit her neck.

"Agh." She squealed; it didn't hurt so much as make her body heat up.

He let her go and held her hand with a smirk as he walked with her down the stairs.

Her cheeks flamed and she asked, "Why did you bite me."

His smirk broadened, "You were just too tempting."

"Remind me not to tempt you anymore. "She huffed out. The bite caught her off guard, was he a dam wolf? She thought.

"That is impossible, I want you every moment of every day." He pulled her into his chest as they reached the bottom stair.

She pushed him away with a light shove, his guards were stationed everywhere and although he was shameless, she was not.

He pulled her along, "Come on then. I will give you a lift."

She allowed herself to be pulled along as they headed for the doorway. Esther was waiting with a bright smile and both of their coats.

"Have a good day you two." Esther bid them goodbye, and they walked out hand in hand.

"You're driving?" Raven remarked. She didn't see his driver and his car was waiting for them. He just gave a wolfish grin in response.

He opened the passenger door for her, and she got inside, he buckled her in still grinning. She huffed and it made him deeply chuckle.

Closing her door, he walked around the car and got in the driver's side. The car roared to life, and she watched out of the window as he drove.

There was something very sexy about how a man drives. It was safer to keep her eyes on the scenery.

"Will you start your next project?" Angelo asked.

"Mmm?" She was lost in her thoughts for a moment. "Oh yea, soon. I think I know what it'll be about." She answered.

It wasn't long before they arrived outside of Milo's art gallery. Realizing this she jumped to get out. But she was pulled back inside.

Angelo gripped her and possessively held her jaw and he kissed her leaving her breathless and weak.

He pulled back slightly, and their eyes met. His were deep and full of need for her and she wondered if hers where the same.

His thumb rubbed her bottom lip before saying, "Goodbye kisses."

She rolled her eyes and got out of his sleek black car, "You're a very demanding man Angelo."

"You have no idea. La mia alba. He grinned wolfishly and she shut the door on him.

She rushed inside of Milo's art gallery and watched him pull away as she entered the building.

"Is this the roguishly handsome man that chased you the other night leaving you off?" Milo teased.

Raven nodded her head heading for the back room.

"I want all the juicy details." Milo held her arm and they both walked inside.
