He slips a hand into one slit and palms my ass. “You’ll keep close to me all night, but it’s perfect,” he says as he squeezes.
Bella’s nanny appears to retrieve her. Dante leads me down to the waiting car. When we climb into the car, he places his hand on my thigh and gives it a squeeze.
Dante
I want to say fuck this fundraiser and spend the night teaching Lizzy a lesson in tempting me. She looks so fucking gorgeous. I want her to ride my face while I slap her ass and make her drip down all over me.
It’s going to be a long night. My mind turns to overhearing Bella ask if Lizzy loves me. I want to hear those words from her lips. I’ve been in love with her. However, I can see in her eyes that she’s holding back from me.
Liz sighs in relief beside me, drawing my attention. I look at her as she’s replying to a text.
“The wine finally arrived at the venue,” she says.
I nod. We’re having shipment issues again. A few of our trucks have been ambushed. They have covered their tracks better this time.
I can’t just take someone’s head off and defuse the situation. I think this is all by design. Whoever has been coming for me isn’t confident enough to come at me head-on any longer.
I still haven’t found whoever Kaling was working with. Bella kills me every time she asks after that bastard. I don’t know what to tell her. I can’t tell her I tortured the son of a bitch to death.
Lizzy moves closer and cups my face, turning it to her. She kisses my lips then places her forehead against my cheek.
“I didn’t mean to make you upset. I thought you would want to know. Tell me how I can make you feel better.”
I take her lips and kiss her deeply. I note quickly that the partition is up and tug her thigh over mine. Moving my hand into the slit of her dress, I find her core and run my fingers against her folds, finding the fabric of her thong drenched and stuck to her flesh.
“You’re always so wet for me,” I say against her lips. “You’re all I ever need to calm me and make things better.”
“Dante,” she whimpers as I move her thong aside and pump my fingers inside her.
I move my lips to her temple. “Come for me. We don’t have much time.”
“My dress,” she pants.
Shit, she’s a squirter. Still, I wonder if the black fabric will hide the wetness if she comes. Thinking better of it, I back off and rub her pearl, gently bringing her to a less intense orgasm.
A smile comes to my lips as the knowledge that she’ll be aching for me all night sets in. I kiss her hard before bringing my hand to my lips. I lock eyes with her as I suck my fingers clean.
There’s that look in her eyes again. I plan to pull the words from her sooner than later. I haven’t come inside her yet because a part of me is still reluctant.
I want to hear her say she loves me before I spill my seed into her. I need to hear the sincerity of her words. Never again will I have a child with a woman who doesn’t love me the way I love her.
I fix her dress and give her thigh a gentle squeeze. “We’re here.”

Dante
I stand about a yard away from Lizzy, but I can’t take my eyes off her. She fits right into my world effortlessly. Not like Bethany. I used to watch as people would practically run from her, and I’d have to smooth things over after.
Not Liz, they’re surrounding her and eating out of her palm. It’s that light that comes from her. I’m not the only one drawn to it. I lift my glass to my lips and take a sip of my champagne.
“It’s good to see you with a genuine smile,” Gio says as he appears at my side.
“Good evening, brother.”
“How are things going with you and my dear friend?”
I shake my head. Turning, I look my brother in his hazel eyes. They sparkle with mischief.
“You knew what you were doing bringing her into my life. How do you think things are going? She’s almost everything I told you I wanted when we were younger.”
“How do you know she’s not everything?” He has a small smile in the corner of his lips. “I’m always thorough, Dante.”
I narrow my eyes at him. I think his words over. I know I haven’t learned all of Lizzy’s secrets, but it’s hard to see her as anything but the sweet woman I’ve fallen in love with.
Her sweet laugh fills the air, drawing my attention to her. I start to list all the things I once told my brother I wanted so long ago.
