CHAPTER 14

ANTONIO

The final course of our extravagant dinner has been cleared away, but I know the real feast is just beginning. I still don't trust her, and this is a game I must play. But I have to admit, this is a part of the deception I'm going to enjoy. She is a flame that I cannot resist, no matter the consequences. I know this is a trap we have willingly laid for each other, yet I cannot bring myself to care. All that matters is having her, here and now.

As I lay her down on my bed and our mouths meet, the kiss begins slow, deliberate. Each movement seems charged with the weight of our twisted history, all the betrayals and bloodshed that led to this stolen moment. She tastes of the rich Merlot we shared over dinner and desire, a combination so heady it makes my mind swim.

My hands drift down to grip her waist, pressing our forms closer together as I deepen the kiss. I feel her surprise, then relaxation into my embrace.

Stepping back, I allow myself a moment to admire her beauty, to etch each detail into my memory. A rosy blush stains her cheeks at being so exposed, so utterly within my power. Yet her eyes reflect only longing, desire mirroring my own.

In the back of my mind, I know Dante will be interrupting us all too soon. We planned every moment of this encounter meticulously, aiming to determine Clara's true loyalties once and for all. I need to know if I can trust her, or if she is simply another beautiful betrayal.

Focus, I silently command myself, even as my lips travel lower along the graceful curve of her throat. With a strategic carelessness that comes from years of practice, I toss her dress on the nearby desk as I press my mouth against Clara's delicate neck.

Silk cascades over the polished finish of the desk, coming to rest atop the incriminating documents and open laptop Dante left there earlier. The weight of the fabric presses down on the keyboard, activating the slideshow program containing manipulated images of bank transfers and forged emails - all the false
