The Mafia And His Angel: Part 1 (Tainted Hearts 1)

Gasping, I shrank away from his touch with a whimper.

Oh God, what was happening to me? I felt myself growing wet between my legs.

“Shhh. Don’t be scared, kitten. I’m not going to hurt you.”

I let out another whimper when he rolled my nipple around his fingers, teasing the tip until I was shaking my head, my stomach clenching as I moaned again.

Alessio leaned closer until his mouth was next to my ear. He blew on my skin and then bit down on my earlobe. “Not unless you want me to,” he whispered harshly in my ears, saying the same words that he had when we first met.

“What…what…what are you doing?” I stumbled over my words, my voice hoarse.

He let out a laugh and pulled back. “What do you think I’m doing? From your reaction, I think it’s pretty obvious.”

I shook my head and stared at him mutely. No, it was not obvious. He was playing with me. But why?

I tried to pull away, but Alessio wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me into his body. My breasts pressed hard against his chest. When my sensitive nipples brushed against the roughness of his shirt, I couldn’t keep from moaning.

Oh, God. No. Save me from this.

“Plea…please don’t hurt me.”

His body shook with silent laughter. “Aww, baby. Pleasure and pain come hand in hand.” Alessio leaned forward, and slowly licked down my neck. “Don’t you know? The best pleasure comes from pain,” he whispered roughly against my skin.

No. I knew pain. I was accustomed to pain and felt it every night when Alberto tortured me mercilessly. There was no pleasure from that.

My body froze, and then I started to struggle against his hold.

“Let me go. Please. Please let me go,” I begged as my eyes filled with unshed tears. I was wrong to think I was safe. He was a monster like Alberto. He would take what he wanted and then leave me bleeding and scarred.

“Stop struggling,” he ordered harshly.

“No. No. No. Please.” I shook my head and pushed hard against his chest but it was like pushing a wall. He didn’t even move a step.

“Enough!”

I whimpered and shrank away. He let go of me and I scrambled back to the wall, plastering myself against it.

Alessio stared at me blankly. My harsh breathing filled the room and I was trembling. My legs were barely holding me up.

He stepped forward, but when I let out cry, he stopped.

“You are scared of me,” he said.

I swallowed but didn’t say anything. What could I say? He already had me figured out.

“But you also enjoy my touch,” he continued. My body went still, and this time I shook my head. His eyes became hard and he walked closer.

“Don’t lie to me. If you didn’t know already, then let me enlighten you,” he said through gritted teeth. “I always know when someone lies. So, you’d be better off if you don’t.”

I didn’t answer. I couldn’t. My throat was dry and my tongue felt heavy in my mouth. Alessio moved his hand to my hair and twisted it around his fist. Even though his hold was firm, he gently tilted my head up, making sure he didn’t hurt me.

“Now answer me, kitten. Did you like it when I touched you?”

I thought of lying again, but what would it bring me? It wouldn’t help my situation. I nodded. It was so small that it would have been easy for him to miss it. But he didn’t.

Alessio Ivanshov never missed anything.

At my nod, he smiled and it took my breath away. It was the first real smile that I saw from him. His lips stretched wide and I noticed a dimple on his right cheek.

The smile changed his face completely. He didn’t look so scary anymore.

He looked gentle.

My eyes widened as my heart constricted.

“Now, that’s out of the way. Let’s talk about why I’m here,” he said, losing the smile. I swallowed nervously and nodded again.

I tried to move away but his fingers tightened in my hair. When he seemed sure I wouldn’t move, Alessio let go. He placed his hands on the wall behind me, one on either side of my face, caging me into his body.

“I want you,” he said without any hesitation.

Oh, I knew that was coming, but what I didn’t expect was how my body reacted to his words.

My legs weakened and my panties were instantly wet. My lower region pulsed and I bit down on my lips hard to stop the moan that threatened to slip out.

“What?” I asked, my voice shaking.

Alessio leaned forward until his lips were hovering over mine. I saw his tongue slip out and he gently licked my lips. My body tightened in shock.

“Exactly what I said. I want to fuck you.”

I didn’t want to admit it, but I could see myself doing whatever he wanted me to do. He knew how to play with his words and how to play my body. The only fear I had was that he might hurt me. I suddenly felt sick.
