Chapter 33

**Matteo**

I don’t remember how long we stayed like that, but it felt comfortable. It felt a lot like something I haven’t felt for a long time and that I vowed to myself to never feel. Feelings of love do not combine with mafia well, quite the contrary actually. They make you vulnerable. I don’t like to be vulnerable to my enemies.

I chuckled when I heard Lily’s stomach rumble and helped her up at that point to move to the couch. First though, I reached for my phone to order some pizza. We needed to eat soon, so after that call we moved to the living room.

I didn’t notice Lily freeze in the doorway, so I bumped into her. I quickly grabbed her shoulders to keep me from falling.

“What’s wrong?”, I asked her, curious to understand what made her stop so suddenly.

“I was going through my mom’s stuff before you came. It confused me so much.”, she said, as she made her way to the couch and sat down. I went to sit next to her.

“What confused you?”, I asked. I know parents always have some secrets, but usually that is not enough to confuse somebody to the extent that I believed Lily to be confused.

“My mom and I were this tight unit, it was always us against the world. I never knew my dad. Mom didn’t like to talk about him, said he was a soldier. I always assumed my mom came from here, because I never knew anything else than the home, I grew up in.”, Lily paused to take a deep breath.

“But now I found letters from her about her getting married in Italy, saying how she was from Serbia, and I just don’t know what is true anymore! I just wish I could have asked her, or that she would have told me.”, she said with tears in her eyes. She looked down at her hands. Her fingers were intertwined and white because her grip on them was so strong. As soft as I could, I took one of her hands in mine.

“She was caught up in crimes and embezzlement, and I never knew! I should have known.”, Lily sobbed. I rubbed her back in circles, trying to comfort her the best I could. I know I sucked at this shit, but I really wanted to do it well for her.

“I should have helped her to get out of this mess. I feel like she didn’t trust me enough. I mean what could be another reason to keep so many secrets?”, Lily said and sighed. I didn’t dare to say anything. I mean, all my life I’ve known nothing else but secrets, betrayal, and crime. I can’t imagine what her life looked like.

“I don’t know, Lily. I don’t know why your mom did what she did. I can be here to help you find out all the mysteries.”, I said softly. She nodded weakly.

“I’d like that.”, she said softly. The moment was gone when the bell rang. I guess that was our pizza, so I got up to get them.

When I came back into the room, Lily had already grabbed some plates and glasses.

“Are you okay with wine?”, she asked me, holding up a bottle. I nodded. Lily poured two glasses and handed one of them to me. Digging into the pizza, she smiled weakly.

“I was really hungry.”, she said. I chuckled.

“Can I ask you something?”, I asked her. She nodded; her mouth was full of pizza. I spotted a bit of tomato paste in the corner of her mouth, which I wiped using my thumb. I saw Lily gulp, and nod again.

“Why did you let Tommaso touch you?”, I asked. I kept telling myself I wanted to ask her this, because I wanted to know how well they know each other and to secure our plan. But deep, deep down there was this unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach.

“I don’t know?”, Lily said, avoiding my eyes, like she was ashamed of herself. I put my finger under her chin and lifted it until her eyes met mine.

“Did he force you?”, I asked her caringly. She shook her head quickly. Good. At least he didn’t hurt her, that must mean he needs her one way or the other.

“I met him in the office when he started visiting Noah. He has always been flirty towards me. He was there at the gala, I met him in a club, and he is at the office a lot. He always yells at Noah, but he is always very kind to me. I feel safe with him.”, she rambled. I tried to keep my face as neutral as I could.

“He was very chivalrous in the beginning. Then we made out in a club, and I guess that ignited something with him?”, she said, unsure of herself. “The last time I met him in the office. I don’t even remember exactly, I know there was coffee spilt on my top, and somehow, we ended up in my office together and he ended up getting me off. But Guilia called before I reached any climax.”, she concluded. I had to smile at that.

“Do you like him?”, I asked her as bluntly as I could. I wanted to understand where she stood. She shook her head.

“I don’t know exactly what it is. “, she said softly. “I feel more attracted to you. I want you all the time that we are around each other. It’s not the same with him. I’m not used to handsome men circling around me, wanting to be me. I guess I am flattered?”

I grinned. “Lily?”, I asked, and she looked up. “Please, no other men anymore?”, I asked her. She nodded, biting her lip. I reached for her lip with my finger, releasing it from her teeth.

“Do you know what Tommaso and Noah are fighting about?”, I asked her, breaking the sexual tension between us, and reached for another slice of pizza. The sex would come later.

Lily shrugged. “I’m not sure. What I know is that after Tommaso started to come to the office, Noah has been asking me to go against regulation on accounts related to MarBruno.”, she said, like it didn’t matter when in fact it was incredibly valuable information for me.

“What do you mean?”, I asked, feigning ignorance, while I kept eating my pizza and drinking the wine.

“I need to report transactions that are suspicious to legislators. But Noah has been threatening me not to do this for MarBruno.”, she said carelessly. Bingo!

I sipped on my wine, leaned back, and patted my belly.

“I’m full”, she said. “Thank you for listening.”, she said sincerely. I reached over and pulled her onto my lap. “You’re welcome.”, I whispered, and attacked her lips. It’s been too long since I had her.

Lily opened her mouth almost immediately, giving me access to what I took right away. I felt an insatiable hunger for her. I wanted to taste her, and I sucked on her lips. I let my tongue discover all parts of her mouth, until her mouth was no longer enough for me. I nibbled and sucked on her jaw and neck, while my hands roamed over her body. She looked amazing, athletic, but still soft with some curves.

I felt her shiver under my touch. I heard her moan under her breath, indicating that she was enjoying this. Not that I could hide my own enjoyment for her. The hungrier our kissing got; the more Lily was grinding on my dick. I squeezed one of her breasts with my hand, it felt so incredibly soft. I squeezed her nipple between my fingers, and Lily arched her back, pushing her breast into my hand. And she moaned. Loudly. God, I love how receptive she is.

My hands started roaming her body frantically. I felt like I couldn’t touch her enough for my need. I slid my hands underneath her shirt and pushed it up until it was off her body. My lips went to the top of her breasts, like I had no control over them anymore. My hands went behind her back, taking her bra off, and giving my mouth access to her nipples. I sucked, nibbled, bit, and kissed them, until they were truly ravaged. Lily’s moans were breathy and low, and they were driving me crazy. That, and her grinding on my dick.

I grabbed her ass and lifted her up. I got up and walked to her bedroom. I all but threw her on the bed before I opened her pants and got them off her as fast as I could. I crawled back over her. I kissed her mouth hungrily, and I felt her hands push my shirt up and off. Next, her hands went down to my pants, trying to get them off me. I chuckled against her lips at her efforts. I sat on my knees to open it, and then pushed them off.

“I want you, Matteo.”, she whispered with a breathy, hoarse voice. “I need you.”, she corrected herself. I don’t know how, but our underwear comes off in no time, and as soon as it does, I pushed into her, letting my dick sink into her wet, tight, and amazing cunt. I groaned at the feeling of her around my dick and threw my head to my neck. I could have this for the rest of my life, and it would be fantastic.

Slowly, I started to pull out a bit before I thrust back into her completely. Lily moans loudly as I do, arching her back to take my dick completely. There is no way I can do this slowly, I need to have her, so I start thrusting into her. I reached out to her clit and started to rub it to push her towards her climax. I wasn’t going to hold out as long as I wanted to, and I wanted her to release as well. Lily was writhing underneath me, as I continued my assault on her clit. I never stopped thrusting into her. I felt her moist on my dick and over her entrance, and her moaning turned into screaming as I felt her inner walls clench on me. I knew she was getting close to her release, and as a reaction I rubbed her even faster.

“I’m… I’m…”, she stuttered. I grinned through clenched teeth because I felt my dick pulsating in her. She felt so amazingly good. I started to thrust hard into her, I needed my release. Then I felt her inner walls clench even harder in a last effort before she screamed loudly. I was right behind her, and at the last thrust I unloaded my sperm into her. I groaned, and my grip on her hips must have bruised her as I climaxed.

I slumped over her and kissed her softly on her lips. “I could do this anytime, all the time.”, I whispered to her. Her hand cradled my head against her chest as we laid there for a bit.
