Chapter 78 JUST A DREAM

Chapter 78 JUST A DREAM
“I love you Anya.” Dante says, brushing my bottom lip with his thumb. I want to suck his finger into my mouth, anything to get a taste of him.
It's a dream, I say to myself.

He doesn't love me.
It's a dream.
“I love you Anya, please wake up.”
I'm laying in the hospital bed and Dante is beside my bed.

“I love you, Dante.” I want to say to him but my tongue is heavy from the drug the doctor had administered.

I sit up from the dream, coated in cold sweat.
I feel someone watching me but there's no one in the room, no one that I can see.

Dante's side of the bed is empty and cold like it hadn't been slept in at all.

I kick the covers away and climb off the bed.

I leave the room and go to the one place I know I will find Dante, in his office

I don't knock, I push the door open and I find him standing in front of the window.

He turns around and when he sees that it's me, he turns to the window again.

“You should be asleep.” Dante says to me.
“You too.” I tell him

I grab his arm and place my head on his shoulder, I feel him relax.

“You see that little pond over there? One time Viviana ran straight into it. She came out holding one large koi fish.”

I laugh, it's something Viviana would do.

“She had her mother's fiery and her father's wits…” Dante trails off. “ She was barely old enough to remember the accident but she was in the back seat of the car when it happened.”

I feel my blood going cold.
“I remember it like it was yesterday. He complained that things were feeling off. Angelo had an abnormally sharp sixth sense. He knew it was coming but he didn't know what exactly. He'd asked me to leave the country and come with him, you know. He'd asked me to leave everything behind, but I was so deep into the world of crime that I didn't think it was possible. I told him no and he was waiting for me to change my mind,” he let out a deep sigh. “If I had listened there's a possibility that Angelo would still be alive.”

I don't know what to tell him.
“But that's not true. No matter how much I try to lie to myself that we could have been safe, the blood syndicate would have followed us. They'd turn every stone until they found us and they'd have killed Viviana too. So maybe my delay saved her.”

I feel his muscles tighten.
“Finding out about your kidnapping was like finding out about Angelo's accident. It's all my fault, only that this time, I was given a second chance.”

He leans in and kisses me, it's deep and hard and demanding.

I take his bottom lip in my mouth and I taste his warm mouth with my tongue.

I moan into his mouth as he drops his hands down and cups my ass. My senses sharpen and my fingers go searching.

I reach down and grab his cock, I stroke him through his pants and I feel him grow hard in my palms. It feels good, knowing that I have as much control over his body as he has over mine.

He turns me on with just a touch and I make him with with just a touch

“You're mine, Anya Ivanov and I'll die a thousand deaths before I let them take you from me.”
