Chapter 20
Alena
When we both came down from our highs, we realized what had happened. I couldn’t look away from Matteo and he didn’t push me away. I heard him clearly and he wasn’t denying it or anything, so I wasn’t wrong.
As he took a few steps back, I was left sitting on the island and grabbing my shirt to cover my body.
“I’m sorry it just slipped out,” he said, avoiding eye contact as he picked up his own clothes.
Suddenly, it was an awkward turn, but I knew we couldn’t run away and hide anymore. This was bound to happen. One of us was going to fall first and I didn’t expect it to be him to let it slip.
I was attracted to him ever since we kissed but I never thought I was able to develop feelings for someone like him. I kept trying to push my feelings away because I didn’t want to get hurt again.
Besides, he did tell me there wasn’t ever going to be love involved.
So, I wasn’t going to test the waters. I sticked to the original plan.
“Do you want to talk about it?” I asked, shifting in my spot.
His brown eyes met mine as he nodded, “I think we should. We should talk about it, Alena.” –
He handed me his shirt and I quickly put it on, letting the material cover down to my thighs. Even though I wasn’t wearing
anything underneath, at least I was covered for the conversation we were going to have.
I watched his every movement and I realized; I was feeling nervous.
“So you’re saying you love me?”
“I’ve fallen in love with you. These past few months were something to me, Alena. I tried to push it all away, but I couldn’t help myself. You don’t realize it but you’re like a magnet. You attract me all the way and I can’t resist you.”
“Matteo …”
He cupped my face, looking straight into my eyes.
“I know what I said before we got married. I promised you loyalty, but I never promised you love. I realize that I was wrong. I can’t go on and keep denying how I feel anymore. I’m in love with you and I love you for the way you are. The way you say my name, the way you smile, the way your eyes light up when you see something you like, when you pull me close and even when you’re not doing anything, Alena. You’ve bewitched me.”
“This is just going to complicate things… what if we end up hating each other?”
He shook his head, “I’m willing to take the risk. I’d rather go all the way with you to show you how much I love you and have a future with you than hide in the shadows, afraid of pursuing. If we end up hurting each other, at least we had a taste of happiness together.”
“You’re not fooling around, aren’t you?” I stood, walking away.
I just needed to step away for a little while, getting a few airs to clear my mind. Every word was genuine, and I felt it straight to my bones which terrified me.
“I don’t think I can lie to you.”
“What if I don’t feel the same way?”

He smiled, “I can make you fall for me. I’d do anything. At least give me the chance to try and if you still don’t feel anything, we can always go back to how we were.”
I frowned, “We can never go back to how we were, Matteo. We got ourselves in too deep. We knew the risks and we took it. We knew we weren’t supposed to sleep with each other, but we ignored that.”
“I don’t regret it. I really don’t.”
I stood still in my spot as he made his way towards me, slowly grabbing my hands and place them on his face. I felt his warmth and it made me feel comfortable. I couldn’t help myself but to close my eyes.
He kissed my palms, “I love you, Alena.”
What was I trying to deny? I didn’t have to run away from him. I was the one who started to fall for him and now, I was feeling scared because he confessed. In a way, I felt calm, and I knew this was what I was waiting for.
A loveless marriage? That was a scam in the first place.
I leaned in, kissing his lips. Our kiss was passionate and deep as our tongues played a game of their own inside. I wrapped my arms around his neck to be close to him and he was pulling my body closer, 2 here was any distance between us.
I pulled away to break the kiss.
“I want to give us a try. I want to see where it goes,” I muttered as I tried to catch my breath.
“I’m okay with that.” He replied, a smile plastered on his face.
Then, he picked me up around the waist before twirling me once. I laughed as my cheeks began to heat up and as soon as he put me down, he began to kiss me again.
I didn’t realize that my back was against the wall, and he was cornering me in. I kept pulling him close to deepen the kiss before feeling him run his hands all over my body, underneath the shirt.
I felt his hands squeezed my breasts, causing me to gasp.
“Don’t you have enough of me?” I raised an eyebrow, smirking.
“I can never get enough of you.”
He went down to plant kisses down my neck, making me close my eyes as my core began to itch for more. I was starting to feel he could awaken my senses even though it was clear, I came more than three times earlier.
“Are you sore, baby?” He asked, his hand went down to clamp me.
“Mm, I don’t mind. I want you in me again,”
“Your wish is my command.”
Just like that, he thrusted inside me, and I was moaning like a madwoman again. It was slightly painful because I was sore, but the pleasure felt better. He couldn’t keep his hands away from me especially from my breasts as he played with them, pinching my nipples.
We were making love like we were crazy. As if we didn’t have more time.
I was soaking wet, and I wasn’t afraid to show him that.
“You’re always ready for me, aren’t you? And you love it when I spread you open like that.” He talked, making me lose my mind–he wasn’t only great in bed, but he was s****y whenever he talked dirty.

I kept moaning, “You’re so
deep.”
“Take all of me, Alena. Spread really wide for me and take everything.”

He picked me up, so we were now facing the kitchen island. Instead of standing like we were previously, I was bending over the kitchen island as he took me from behind. Both of his hands on my bottom, spreading wide as he watched the masterpiece.
It was turning him on to watch me take him in.
I felt him hitting every wall inside of me and I knew I couldn’t last much longer.
“Is this hole made for me, too?” He whispered near my ear as he touched my
butt.
“I never had a***l before…” I replied, my cheeks turning red.
“Do you want to?”
I bit my lower lip before nodding my head.
Matteo started slowly by inserting a finger inside my second hole without stopping to thrust inside me and I began to feel extra full. “Just relax and let me in,”
I closed my eyes, whimpering as he inserted another finger when he felt I was loosening my muscles.
Then, I felt him thrusting out of me before pushing his length into the tightness.
I was moaning in pain but didn’t push him away to stop him. I needed to feel him inside me, and I wanted him to be the first one. My hand was clamped shut on my mouth, trying to mu**le the sound of my loud moans.
He kept pushing in, slowly until he was halfway in.
“F***k … you’re so f***g tight. You’re going to make me come just like this, baby.”
I held tightly onto the kitchen island that my hands were going red as I felt him fully inside me, thrusting in and out slowly. His grunts and moans were louder now as he was enjoying the feeling. It didn’t take me long to join him.
I didn’t expect it to feel this good.
“How does it feel, Alena?”
“So… f**ng*ou love it, don’t you?”
I moan*ed louder, my muscles tightening as I began to clench onto him. He felt my **m coming so, he decided to fasten his pace, causing our bodies to rock. We came together and I never felt more alive.
I felt the liquid dripping down my thigh as he placed a soft kiss on my back.

Chapter 21
Alena
I pulled the front door open, revealing Alexei standing with his arms tucked inside his pants’ pockets. He was dressed for work in his white buttoned-down shirt and black slacks but a few of his buttons were undone.
The last time I saw him was months ago and feeling betrayed by my own brother, I didn’t miss him much but if he came here to make amends, I was willing to put my feelings aside.
“Alexei, what are you doing here?” I asked, frowning.
“I came to see you to talk. Can I come inside, or should we go somewhere else?”
I stepped aside, letting him in.
Matteo wasn’t home because he was at work, keeping up the pretenses of his company for the sake of money laundering. In
igned an agreement to keep fact, it was a legal company, but nobody knew about the money except for his employees. T
it a secret.
“I just didn’t expect to see you here. How did you know where I live, anyway?”
“I have my ways.” The cliché answer from anyone as mysterious as Alexei.
If I were to ask Matteo about the private things he knew, he was going to give me the same answer, too. People like them, in the mafia, they never told the truth about a lot of things especially if it involved their work activities.
“Right… do you want coffee?”
We made our way towards the kitchen, and I served him a cup of coffee, it felt needed to at least get him something to drink.
“Thank you, Alena.”
We kept quiet for a while as he took a seat near the kitchen island. I was waiting for him to start talking about whatever he wanted to talk but he was taking his time–I didn’t want to rush him or anything so, I kept quiet.
“Is your husband home?” He asked, putting the
cup
down.
“No, he’s at work. Is something the matter, Alexei?”
“I just came to see my little sister. I don’t want to see him,” he replied before grabbing my hand, caressing the back of it.
Honestly, I missed when we were younger because things were simple. We didn’t have a lot to think about. All we knew was fun and enjoyment but now we couldn’t stop thinking about our future, about our lives.
We had to push aside our sibling bond.
We had to be more selfish.
“Do you really hate him that much? Did he ever cross you in the mafia or is it just a Russian and Italian thing? Do you really not like him, or you just don’t like him because he’s Italian?” I asked, crossing my arms.
“A little bit of both.” He smiled.
“D**n, Alexei. He’s actually a decent person compared to you and Papa.”
“You’re only saying that because he’s your husband.”
