Maria's Christmas Angel: A DARK ANGEL Romance (Alpha Male, Erotic Mafia Romance) (4 page)

I was taking what I wanted.

“I want this inside me. Do you want that, Vinnie?”

“God, yes,” he growled. He jerked
his suit jacket off then pulled his wallet free from the back pocket of his pants and took out a condom. My heart stuttered at the sight of him sheathing himself quickly. There had never been anything between us in the past, but that was a long time ago.

I saw the same memories in his
gaze when he looked back up at me. “I’m clean, but until I prove it to you I want to protect you.”

“
Just shut up and fuck me,” I growled at him. It was as if my words set him free. He step forward and jerked me back into his arms, his mouth slamming down on mine. He gripped my legs, below my knees, holding them open as he came down over me, pushing me back onto the table.

“Wrap your legs around me,” he ordered.
“Do it now.”

I did as he asked,
and I felt his cock nudging at the entrance to my pussy. He pulled back from me enough so that our eyes locked as he began pushing inside of me. I moaned as I felt the incredible feeling of being filled with his hard flesh. His huge cock hurt me just a little, but I could take it. The small bite of pain just made my pleasure that much more intense, and I wanted to feel him pounding into me.

“
Fuck… You are so damn tight, princess,” Vincenzo whispered. “You are like my own personal angel. My Christmas angel, I wished for you…”

Tears sparkled in my eyes and I shook my head. I didn’t want tenderness from him. Not now. Acknowledging my denial, h
e plunged his tongue back into my mouth as he slowly shoved more of his cock inside me.

He drew back, until only the head o
f his cock was inside me then drove back into my pussy with a hard thrust. Standing back up, he pulled my thighs wide with a hand underneath each of my knees, holding me opened for him. He began tunneling into me with fast, hard strokes, thrilling me with the brutal passion we shared together

“
Just like I remember,” Vincenzo groaned. “So tight and perfect. You’re so damn beautiful. Your tight little pussy feels so good. Maria, I need you to come again and take me with you.”

I wrapped my legs around his back, locking my ankles together
to try and force him deeper inside me. He filled me completely as he pounded furiously into my tight pussy with rhythmic thrusts.

The
re was no give in either of us. Both of us took what we wanted and damned the rest to worry about later. There was nothing else for me at the moment but Vincenzo, and how me made me feel. We stared at one another, connected in a way few people would ever be able to understand and I felt my body tighten with my impending release.

“I’m close. Come for me, princess
. Come and take me with you.”

I couldn’t help but obey. My back arched off the table as I came
. I sobbed his name as my body came apart and his large body came down over me so he could silence my cries with his mouth. His arms wrapped around me, sheltering me as waves of pleasure tore me apart from the inside out. I felt his hips jerk once, twice then felt him shudder against me as he exploded, filling the condom with pulse after pulse of his hot, thick come. For a moment I was bereft, missing the feeling of him filling me with his release instead of into the barrier between us.

We lay there for long minutes, catching our breath as he lay over me. His head rested on my breasts
and my nipple puckered under the warm puffs of his breath. I closed my eyes as I fought the urge to lift my hand and run it through his hair as we took the time to come down from our high together.

When I pushed at him lightly, he sighed and stood up, pulling his semi-hard cock from my body. Silently, h
e took the condom off, tied off the end then placed it into the handkerchief he removed from the pocket of his suit jacket. He fixed his clothes while I took care of my own, trying to bring some semblance of order to myself that didn’t scream what I had just been doing.

My panties were torn and useless
, but with my dress was back in place no one would know I was bare beneath it. I reached down to pick the scrap of lace up off the floor, but Vincenzo was quicker. He snagged it in his hand and I gaped at him as he lifted it up to his nose, inhaling deep.

“I believe I will be keeping these.”

“You can’t just…” I sputtered, not knowing what to say. Huffing out a breath I shook my head as I lifted a hand to comb out the tangles. “Fine, keep them. Consider it a parting gift.”

I turned to leave but he jerked me into his arms, his lips crushing down over mine until I
was clinging to him again. Damn him!

How co
uld he do this to me every time?

“This isn’t over,” Vincenzo said softly
, his voice filled with conviction. “We are
not
over, Maria.”

I sighed. “Vinnie, t
his can’t happen again.”

I attempted to push away from him, but he held me tight. Pressing his forehead to mine, he
took a deep breath. “I know you still have feelings for me. There are reasons for everything I did. You have to believe me. Don’t give up on us.”

“What do you mean?
I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

“I can’t
explain, not yet. Just give me a little more time. You just have to trust me, princess.”

I stared at him, trying to understand. I didn’t know what to think. This man had hurt me, more than anyone had in my entire life, and yet something about the way he spoke to me made me
believe him. Still, I couldn’t trust him like he asked. Not yet. But I would hear him out and see what he had to say to explain himself.

“I can’t trust you, Vinnie. Not after what you did.
But I can try and listen.”

He breathed out a relieved breath then pressed a gentle kiss to my lips. “
I can’t say anything now, but I promise, I’ll explain to you. Tell
no one
of this, do you hear me? It’s important that we keep us a secret for now. I will be in touch.”

“All right,” I said as I pulled from his grasp. I walked away on shaking legs then turned back to look at him again.

“You hurt me, Vinnie. It’s something I can’t just forget, but I’ll listen to you when you’re ready.”

“That’s all I’m asking.”

“No, it’s not. You’re asking for so much more than I’m willing to give you at this point. I said I’ll listen, but I’m not promising anything more.”

He nodded, and seemed to accept it. There was nothing more to say now. “Merry Christmas, princess,” he said to me as he walked away.

I didn’t respond to his whisper, but I could feel his gaze on me as I left the room. I was grateful when I was able to make it to the ladies room without seeing anyone. Once inside, I took a look at my reflection in the mirror and winced. My dark eyes looked overly bright and my lips were full, swollen from Vincenzo’s kisses. I couldn’t help but reach up to touch them, remembering the feeling of his lips on mine.

What had I done?
What the hell was wrong with me?

Heaving out a sigh, I went to work putting myself back together so no one at the reception would know what a monumental mistake I had just made. When I was finished,
I looked like I had before my interlude with Vincenzo, except for the satisfied haze in my eyes.

I opened the door of the ladies room and blinked in surprise when I saw my uncle, Giovanni, standing in the hallway as if he were waiting for me. A sliver of unease
swept through me for a moment, but I pasted a smile on my face as I walked toward him.

“
Hi,
zio
—”

He held up a hand, cutting me off.
“There is much that I have allowed from you and your brother in honor of my sister’s memory, but you are very close to crossing a line, Maria.”

I blinked at him. “I don’t know what you mean.”

“Do not lie to me,” he hissed.

My breath caught as I saw the hard gleam in my uncle’s eyes. It was like I was seeing him for the first time. There was a cold, ruthlessness there that I had never seen before, and it scared me.

“
I see more than you think I do, and I am not pleased with your behavior. You will stay away from Vincenzo Fernelli. I am not asking. Your loyalty is to
la famiglia.
Don’t forget it.”

Before I could say anything, he walked away.
I shivered from the fear that swept through me. I didn’t know what to think. Had my uncle just threatened me? I didn’t understand what the hell had just happened, but I knew that there was something bigger at work here than I was privy to at the moment. I needed answers, and the man that I needed then from had just been declared off limits.

I wanted to curse both Vincenzo and m
y family for putting us at odds. I had a feeling that whatever was going on had nothing to do with us, and everything to do with whatever illegal business our families were involved in. Angelo and I weren’t part of that life, but that didn’t seem to matter. Our lives were like one big chess match, with us being used as the pieces moving around a board at the whim of those in power.

I wasn’t a princess or an angel. I wasn’t even one of the players in this dangerous game I found myself in.

I was just a paw
n.

And right now, I didn’t see a way out…
