Chapter 8 - Raul

The memories of Isabella’s hot caramel skin and dark eyes full of desire resurface in my mind for what feels like the hundredth time this evening, and I shake my head and lean back in my chair. Goddamnit. Who would’ve thought having sex with Isabella would affect me like this?

The pleasant heaviness of postcoital euphoria still lingers deep in my bones, and I can’t find it in myself to let it go. My focus keeps drifting away from the maps and messages I receive from my men and the Messinas, and all I can think about is Isabella. Her deep moans, her pliant body, the pure ecstasy on her face when she reached her orgasm…

I press my fingertips against my eyes in an attempt to get the image out of my mind, but it only makes it worse. The warmth of arousal spreads through my body, and a part of me wants to go find her. The same part that’s been longing for Isabella ever since she pushed me off of her and walked out of my bedroom, cursing under her breath.

Was having sex a mistake? Maybe.

I didn’t plan to get that close to her—but damn, it was too good to resist. Just thinking about the bare skin of her thighs under my palms makes them prickle. I rub my fingers despite myself before turning my chair to the window where the dark evening is slowly descending upon Chicago.

Even if I didn’t plan for it to happen, even if it was a mistake, I enjoyed it, and I know that Isabella did too—if her moans are anything to go by. Why would we hold ourselves back? Why would we pretend like there’s no sexual tension between us?

I mindlessly rub the stubble beneath my chin with my thoughts drifting all over the place when my phone suddenly lights up with an incoming call. Riccardo. I frown and pick it up. And what does he want?

“Yes?”

“Hey. I heard about what happened today,” Riccardo says with a rather tense voice, going straight to the point. I hum to myself. Is he mad because of me or Isabella? “And I think it’s time to clear some things up.”

Interesting. He sounds rather pissed off, but I still can’t grasp the reason behind it, so I just wait for him to continue.

“We have signed a deal to work together against the Escarras. Neither you nor your men know the territories well enough to judge our decisions. So why the hell did you sabotage our mission and let Gerardo run away?”

I blink, barely hiding my confusion, and ask cautiously, “What do you mean?”

“Isabella gave your men clear instructions to check Loyola Beach and stop the Escarras from escaping,” Riccardo explains with a surprising amount of patience for someone so clearly irritated. “But you called them back even before they got there, and do you know what? We found their traces at this exact goddamn beach.”

Oh.

“What were they doing there?” I ask with a frown, completely ignoring the accusation in Riccardo’s voice.
