“I know,” I replied, my voice barely audible.
His eyes searched mine for a long moment, and then something between us snapped.
He leaned in, his lips crashing into mine with a searing kiss. The world around us melted away as I lost myself in him, in the fire and intensity that burned between us.
The taste of him was intoxicating, a mix of strength and raw desire. It sent sparks of electricity through my body. The heat of his kiss kindled something deep within me, igniting a fire that couldn’t be put out.
And I let it burn.
I could feel the hard planes of his chest against me, the warmth of his skin through his shirt. His kiss was a blend of passion and restraint and I couldn’t get enough. It was everything I had imagined and more, and I wanted to lose myself in it, in him.
But just as quickly as it began, he broke the kiss, stepping back in a rush. We both stood there, breathing heavily, our eyes locked. His gaze was intense, filled with a mixture of lust and something darker, something unresolved.
“Jenna,” he whispered, his voice husky with emotion. “This can’t happen.”
I swallowed hard, my heart still racing, but I didn’t say anything.
He shook his head, his expression pained. “You don’t understand. This… what we just did… it changes everything.”
I took a step forward, my hand reaching out to touch his arm.
“Then let it change everything. I’m not afraid,” I snapped, my voice far more challenging that I had intended.
He stared at me, his eyes searching mine, as if looking for something he wasn’t sure he would find.
“You should be,” he said quietly, his voice barely above a whisper.
“I don’t care,” I replied, my voice steady despite the whirlwind of emotions inside me.
For a moment, he said nothing, his eyes still locked onto mine. Then, with a deep growl, he took two steps toward me as his arm swung around the back of my head. He gripped the hair at theback of my scalp in his fist, and yanked my head back so that I could gaze into the endless depths of his piercing green eyes.
Pain blossomed as he pulled my hair harder, and my eyes nearly rolled back in my head. I blinked, my eyes watering from the pain, yet my pussy clenched so tight that I nearly came right then and there.
What was wrong with me? Was I getting off on the pain? A soft whimper escaped my lips and the dark look in his eyes deepened. For a second, I broke eye contact to watch his Adam’s apple bob up and down, but the gravitational pull of his gaze drew me back a second later. The intensity of it took my breath away.
For a moment, we just stared at one another. He was so close that I could feel his breath against my skin, the warmth of his body radiating into mine.
He took a step closer, his gaze intense.
I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms over my chest. “Oh, come on, Vincenzo. What did you expect? You know how I am. It was like leaving a cookie jar open and telling a kid not to take one.”
“This is my life. My secrets. Not yours,” he growled.
I shrugged, refusing to back down. “Maybe if you didn’t make everything so mysterious, I wouldn’t have to go snooping.”
“You don’t understand what you’re getting into,” he growled, his frustration palpable. “This isn’t some adventure. It’s serious. It’s life and death.”
“Then explain it to me,” I shot back, lifting my chin defiantly. “Stop treating me like a child and tell me what’s really going on.”
His jaw tightened, and he loomed over me, his presence almost overwhelming. “What am I going to do with you?”
I smirked, feeling a thrill at his intensity. “Well, for starters, you could try trusting me. Maybe I’m more capable than you think.”
He shook his head, exasperation mingling with a hint of reluctant admiration.
“You’re impossible, you know that?” he scoffed.
“I’ve been told,” I quipped, giving him a challenging look. “But you still haven’t answered my question. What are you going to do with me now?”
