I didn't have to think who it was. Domenico. Seeking help, I looked at Adriana, who looked at me questioningly. "Is that him?" she asked and I nodded. What should I do now? "What is he writing?" she asked curiously. I sighed and held out my phone to her.

As soon as she read it, she grinned from ear to ear. "Oh and if you have time," she winked at me and handed me back my phone. "Adriana, I don't know," I murmured hesitantly. My family...

"Now apart from your family and the fact that you are enemies with his family. she asked. I didn't even have to think for a second. Inside I wanted. Every fiber of my body wanted him.

"Sí," I answered honestly. She started to grin. "So what are you still doing here?" she wanted to know. I snorted desperately. "Adria-" "Nothing with Adriana! Do it. Go to him. Do whatever you want. If this guy really attracts you that much, then go see him!" she interrupted me. I ran my fingers through my hair, pondering. "You're 22 years old, now tell me, what exciting experiences have you had so far? Apart from all this mafia shit, of course," she wanted to know. "That's right, absolutely nothing, Tana. Drive to him, you have the option."

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Maybe she was right. I wanted to go, but I can't get my family out of my head. Just thinking about his touch makes my body scream for more. I started typing hesitantly.

I have time. Domenico I don't know.

Maybe he'll see that it's wrong. I didn't even have to wait long to get an answer from him.

Don't think so much about our families, mia Bella. I can't stop thinking about you. I just have to see you again

I couldn't help but grin. He thinks about me all the time? Maybe I really should, but a voice inside me is screaming that I'm about to make a huge mistake. It was all back and forth.

Okay, when and where?

I bit my lip in anticipation and waited for his reply.

Just be at Central Park in 20 minutes.

It's probably the forbidden thing that attracts me. But the voice inside me telling me to do it got the better of it. I knew it was wrong But I wanted it so bad. I wanted him so much. I couldn't think of anything else for the past few days.

His hands all over my body. His mouth, which pressed so demanding and dominant on mine. i wanted him I wanted Domenico De Santis and I already know I'm going to hate myself for it.

My gaze wanders to the left to Adriana. "Do you think that was a wrong decision?" I asked her hesitantly. She laughed before turning left. "No Tana, I think it's very good. Finally more action is coming into your life. Let's see where this leads," she grinned. "But remember, it would be better if you were back with me by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. Then just text me and I'll pick you up again." "Thanks," I murmured, sinking further into the passenger seat. I still didn't have a good feeling about it, after all I have to think about my family all the time. "Always happy. After all, that's what a best friend is for, isn't it?" she wanted to know with a smile. I returned her smile. She really is the best.

"So, here we are," she said after a short while. I was starting to get really nervous. "Could you please start your tone-" "You won't need me. Enjoy the evening and let him really take you through it," she interrupted me and winked at me. I laughed and shook my head. "In case of emergency." "Fine, just in case," she replied. "Gracias, you are the best." I said, gave her a little kiss on the cheek and got out. As soon as I got out, she drove off. I shook my head again, grinning.

I glanced at my phone to see what time it was and headed for a bench. I still had five minutes before Domenico should be here. I stopped abruptly when someone grabbed my hand. I turned around in panic and breathed out a sigh of relief when I recognized Domenico. "Were you scared, my beauty?" he asked in amusement, the corners of his mouth twitching up. "Looks like it's dark and late after-" He didn't let me go on, but instead pulled me impatiently and kissed me. So greedy, so demanding, so passionate. But before we could deepen the kiss any further, he broke and pulled me with him.

He headed for a black car. Domenico held the passenger door open for me and I got in. He closed the door and walked to the opposite side, got in and drove off. Like he can't wait to get there, wherever he wants me to go. "Where are we going?" I asked curiously. Domenico glanced at me and started to smile. "In one of my apartments."
