"Dante."

I moaned, dragging my nails down his back.

The sound of our sweaty bodies, his grunts and my moans filled the room.

His thrusts were so slow and I knew he was doing just about everything to tease me so bad.

But If there's one thing I'm very sure of, that will be the fact that he has the stamina of a horse. He just doesn't get tired.

"Say my name baby."

His deep voice rang in my ears. And even with my eyes closed I still found his voice extremely sexy. It was such a turn on.

"Dante."

He slowed down his pace even more this time and kissed me. The kiss was slow, yet passionate and mind blowing. The feel of his warm lips on mine felt so good that I wouldn't give a damn even if the house was on fire.

Suddenly he slammed hard in me and I almost swore that my brain was bouncing.

I gasped in between the kiss and he bit down my lower lip.

"You will be the death of me-"

"Oh!"

I almost screamed when he did a rotation kinda thing that made me almost lose my fucking mind.

"You like that huh?" I could sense the teasing in his voice.

"Yes-"

"Oh!"

He bit down on my nipple and I had to grab the sheets for support. I was trembling.

Dante mastered my body like a freaking anthem. He knew just what to do to make me lose my damn mind. His touches, kisses, everything.

I really shouldn't get used to all these but I really want to. I want to be with him so bad. I can't lose him not when..

"Dante." I couldn't hold back my screams this time.

He was thrusting in me so fast and so deep that I had my lips apart and had to hold his shoulders for support.

"Almost there baby. Almost."

But he lied.

Because that's the same words I've been hearing since God-knows-what time.

He's been taking me over and over and I don't think I'll be able to walk in the morning. Not even if I tried.

We hit the climax almost at the same time and he placed a kiss on my temple before wiping the bead of sweats on my forehead.

He didn't pull out of me. Not yet.

Oh not again..

"I love you Chandria Lee. Merry Christmas amore mio." his husky voice whispered in my ear.

Huh?

When he didn't hear me speak he smiled and caressed my cheek.

"I was hoping I'll get a I love you too but it's okay-"

"I love you."

"I love you very very much Dante."

"I love you."

I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him to me, kissing him with all the strength I had. I could feel my tears roll down my cheeks.

He finally said it.

He did!

And I moaned into the kisses when I felt him moving in me.

He doesn't get tired..

"Where are we going Dante? Tell me already."

I asked for the hundredth time.

I was blindfolded the moment the car came to a halt. I wasn't even able to make out where we were and now he wouldn't tell me where we were heading to.

I gave up and threw up my hands in defeat. I heard him chuckle but he regretted doing that because I elbowed him in the rib immediately.

I was cracking my brains to come up with answers because of him and he found my troubles funny.

Who does that?

I was helped up the stairs and when we got inside the unknown place, he helped me settle in my seat.

"You won't tell me where we are going still?"

I sighed.

"Just wait a little babe. We are almost there."

"And I can't take this off?" I pouted but all I earned was a quick peck on the lips.

"Uhm no babe."

I sighed in defeat and relaxed in my seat. He helped me with the seatbelt and it made me wonder where the hell he was driving us too.

For all our sakes I hope it's not in the lagoon.

I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

(DANTE'S POV)

Chandria Lee had gotten deeply under my skin more than I even realised.

I stared at my woman sleeping beside me with the blindfold on her face.

My woman.

Even though she was fast asleep, she was still pouting and looked extremely adorable.

I love this woman so much.

Damn!

I gently removed the blindfold without waking her from sleep and also undid the safety belt.

I stared at her sleeping form and my chest tightened, almost feeling like a contraction.

She's so beautiful. Just too beautiful.

When I told her I loved her this morning while we made love, I meant every single letter and word.

To be honest I think I loved her since the first day we met without even realising it.

The day my father made me end things with her, a part of me died. I was away from friends and family for like a month, downing myself in work.

But it still didn't keep my mind off my Ria.

I love her too much to ever let her go again. And on God, this woman is gonna be my wife and not Cici. I'll make sure of that.

The pilot announced we were landing in few minutes and I carefully fastened Ria's seatbelt before doing mine.

She was still fast asleep. She looked like an angel.

An angel without wings.

I've met an angel in person and she's Chandria Lee.

I shook her gently to wake her from sleep.

She stretched in her seat, blinking her eyes a few times before she finally opened her eyes.

I laughed, finding her extremely cute.

"Dante where are we?"

She took in her surrounding and her mouth fell wide open. I couldn't hold back my laughter.

"I'm in a plane?"

"Hmm yes."

"So we aren't in LA I guess?"

"Hmm something like that." I teased.

"Stop teasing me."

She spanked my shoulder and I had to take a step back before she could spank me one more time.

"Okay let's out of here first."

She protested but ended up following me out of my private jet.

"Okay we are outside so tell me where we are before I lose my damn mind Mr."

"And why is that?"

I got behind her and wrapped my arms around her before resting my chin on her shoulder.

"Because the suspense is killing me. Come on babe tell me where we are."

"Okay I'll tell you."

When I didn't speak she stomped her feet on the ground and pouted. I laughed before stealing a quick kiss from her.

"Dante come on."

"Okay fine."

She blinked her eyes several times waiting for me to answer her.

She is just too cute and extremely beautiful.

I could stare at her all day without moving an inch. Just staring at her and loving her would do just fine.

I pulled her to my body and hugged her before placing a kiss in her hair.

"We are in New York baby."

Her screams caught me off guard and I almost lost my balance when she forced herself out of my embrace.

I was smiling like an idiot when she jumped around and smiled like crazy.

I put a smile on her face. I feel so contented right now.

She looked freaking beautiful.

Instinctively I pulled out my phone and took a few pictures of her. I even made a video.

I never did something like that before not even with Cici. Ria is so different and charming in a lot of ways..

"We are having dinner at ten love. You should get ready after you get some rest okay?"

"And I have a present for you. I left it on the table over there."

I said before kissing her.

"Mm. But where are you going?" she asked, her eyes were already drifting close.

"I just have to take care of few things. Just get some rest and come down to the restaurant later okay?"

"Okay."

I placed a kiss on her temple and made sure she was properly tucked in bed before walking out of the room.

I took out my phone and dialed my secretary's number.

"Ana. Is everything almost ready?"

"Yes Mr. Moretti. The restaurant will be closed down by nine sir."

"What about the setup and the flowers?"

"Ah yes sir. The whole setup and decors will be ready by ten. You told me to order baby breaths and not roses yes sir?"

"Yes Ana."

"It will be delivered to the restaurant shortly sir and you can pick it up from there."

"And the reservation?"

"Don't you worry sir I got it all covered."

"Thank you very much Ana."

I dropped the call and headed out of the hotel room.

Tonight is all about Ria. I can't have anything go wrong. Everything must be perfect.

(ETHAN'S POV)

I was at the warehouse waiting for Shark. I knew he would be the perfect man for the job. I needed things to go as planned. The last thing I needed was some floppy ass nigga to ruin my plans and Shark was just the perfect one for the job.

"Hey man."

"Shark my man."

"Have you been waiting for so long?"

"At all. I'm glad you made it."

I've been waiting for an hour and I prayed to God on his behalf that me waiting will actually worth it in the end or else..

"So how's this gonna play?"

"She's currently in New York at the moment so I want you on the low and be ready when it's time."

"Alright I hear you my man. But what's the actual plan? Will I be murdering anyone?"

"That's inevitable Shark. You have his picture don't you?"

"Yeah I received it along with the package."

"Good because that's your target."

"What about the girl?"

"The girl is mine. I just need you to give her a nice beating but don't ruin her pretty face too much. You can shave her head bald for all I care, just bring her to me in one piece."

"You can count on it."

"I'll inform you when it's time."

Dante Moretti better be ready because this Christmas is gonna be one hell of a red Christmas.

His rich arrogant ass better count on it..
