Page 76 of Mob's Seduction

Good job I’ve quit, because this is definitely a sackable offence, and I’ve absolutely just traumatised anyone in the store. “Oh…wow,” I pant.

“That’s just the beginning. I’m going to show you over and over again, just how much I love you when we get home.”

Loosening my hands from her hair, I drop them to her face and stroke her cheeks. “Does this mean you’re okay with moving back to Italy? I know I should have told you.”

“If it’s what you want,bella, I’m happy to go back.”

“Not back, Allegra… Home. It’s where you belong, and I belong with you.”

She helps me to my feet and to redress. “Your dads willnotbe happy.”

“They already know. I pre-warned them weeks ago. I just wanted to be sure this is what you’d want. I know you’re happy here, but I see it in your eyes, Al. You miss the vineyard and your family. We’re not going back to what it was, so my fathers have no say in it. I trust the pact to be upheld, and I trustyou. Plus, I think Lorenzo will be happy to come too. He needs a hobby that isn’t chatting up my customers.”

Allegra laughs. “He’s a smooth talker, but it’s all for fun. He’s still devoted to Maria. He always will be. But yes, I agree he needs something to occupy him. Running the sales at the vineyard would make him happy.”

“Will you be happy? If we go back? Mia, Rosa, and Toni will be over the moon to have you home.”

She pulls me in. Our lips are an inch apart as those striking eyes bore into me. “Where you are, is where I’m happy. But there is one thing that might make it all the sweeter.”

“And what’s that?”

“Marry me.”

I pull back in shock. Then bite my lip. “Hmm, I said I’d never marry the mob queen.”

She smiles. “I’m only Donna Malgeri in the bedroom, baby…at your request.”

I blush because she isn’t wrong. “I suppose Ididbecome your sex slave. Might as well go the whole hog, huh?”

“Is that a yes?”

“It’s a hell yes!” I laugh and kiss her. “Will you…”

“I’ll dress the part for you tonight, Ms Moorside. Prepare to be seduced.”

“Mob’s Seduction,” I titter. “Maybe it’s not such a bad title after all.”

Allegra bites my nose. “I wouldn’t go that far.”
