It was on the tip of his tongue to tell her he didn’t need her to.Instead, he took her hand and placed it over his raging cock.He was so hard, and all he wanted to do was push her to the bed, spread her thighs, and plunge hard and deep inside her.He held himself in check.He was going to take his time with her.
Lorenzo guided her hand to where she needed to be, and he stared into her, not looking away, just knowing this is where he wanted to be.
“Tell me what you like,” Clarissa asked.
He wrapped his fingers around hers and showed her exactly how he liked it.Each touch set him on fire for more.He was already close to losing himself, but he gritted his teeth and held on, trying to make it last.
It had been too long, and now, with Clarissa’s hands on him, he knew he wasn’t going to last.
Staring into her beautiful eyes, he came apart, moaning her name as he sunk into the abyss, and there was nowhere else he wanted to be.
Chapter Nine
One Month Later
Clarissa sat at the table and looked around the room, wishing she was anywhere but here.Her parents were across the room, and Lorenzo had excused himself to go and speak with some people, leaving her alone.
She hated being alone at these parties.It reminded her so acutely of how she didn’t belong.After her sister died, her grandmother didn’t force her to come to these parties.She was able to stay with her grandparents, and she lived kind of a normal life.
She wasn’t like others.Mia, Liana, and even Tatiana weren’t here.She hadn’t heard from Tatiana in a long time, actually.She went to run fingers through her hair, but it was pulled back into a clip, and she didn’t want to make a mess of what the makeup artist had done for her.
This was a party within the Colombo Mafia, a Capo, and another daughter bringing more wealth and relations together, but Clarissa didn’t know who they were.This was just an engagement party.
She sat and waited.Time ticked on by, and she was nothing more than a shadow in this world.A tiny, insignificant shadow.In the back of her mind, she couldn’t help but be brought back to that day.
“You’re going to get married!But boys are so gross.”
Isabella laughed.“You’re going to have to get over your fear of boys, Clarissa.Trust me, I’m getting married, and you won’t be far behind me.”
“I’m ten.”
“And I’m fifteen, but that hasn’t stopped them.”
There was a sudden screech of tires, and Clarissa turned to see an old beat-up car.It had rust all along the edges, and the tires looked like they were worn right down to the rim.A guy wearing a mask got out, and he was shaking.
Isabella screamed, as the gun rose, and Clarissa recalled that the gun had been pointed at her.That day, she was going to die, but then Isabella yelled no and stepped in front of her.
