Claimed By The Mafia Don (Ariella and Asher) novel Chapter 356

ARIELLA

I couldn't believe him right now.

“None of the above,” I replied quickly, turning away from his smug face and back to Leon.

“Okay, listen. Dad is coming upstairs to read you a book.”

“Yay!” Leon said instantly, already turning around and running out of the room.

The moment he left, I let out a deep breath and turned back to Asher.

“You can’t do that,” I said.

“Why?” he asked, finally standing up.

And that’s when I realized Why he hadn’t stood up earlier. I froze for a second staring at his hardened bulge. He wasn’t even trying to hide it And now that it was just the two of us again… Everything that had been building between us rushed right back.

“He's always interrupting things, has impeccable timing too,” he said, already pulling me into his arms.

"He's your son," I stated the obvious.

"That doesn't stop him from being a cock-block." He said.

“This is not a good idea,” I told him quickly. “Leon is waiting for you to read his bedtime story. And we both know that if you’re late, he’ll come again soon. And this time, he’ll find something else to question us about.”

“More than having a brother?” Asher murmured, his lips brushing my forehead… my nose… then dangerously close to my lips before trailing toward my neck.

I sucked in a breath and pushed against him with what little strength I had left.

“Go upstairs,” I said, trying to sound firm. “Your son is waiting.”

He exhaled sharply. “Ugh,” he muttered, then added under his breath, “that’s… incredibly unfair timing.”

“Go,” I repeated, forcing authority into my voice.

But I didn’t get another word out because the next second, I was back in his arms. His mouth crashed onto mine, intense, overwhelming, like he had been holding back for too long. His hand came up to my neck, firm but careful, pulling me closer as if he couldn’t get close enough.

It wasn’t soft anymore.

It wasn’t teasing.

It was… hungry.

As if it were the first time, or the first time after a very long time.

And without meaning to, my hands were already in his hair, gripping, pulling him closer, deeper into the kiss. I didn’t even think about it. Didn’t question it. I just… felt. His hands tightened at my waist, lifting me slightly, and before I realised what was happening, my balance shifted, and I clung to him instinctively.

A low sound escaped him, A groan that sent a sharp shiver through me. For a moment, everything else disappeared. The house. The noise. Even Leon(sorry).

It was just Him And me. Then Reality snapped back in.

“Asher,” I breathed against his lips, trying to pull back, though not very convincingly. “Leon....”
