Sweet Temptation by Cora Reilly

him against my opening, and then he slammed all the way in.
I braced myself on the green surface as Cassio thrust into me.
“You always eat me out,” I managed. “You don’t need me to order you to do
it.”
His chest pressed against my back. “Even now I’m hungry for your
sweetness.” He slammed harder into me, causing the balls in front of me to clank
against each other. He drove himself even deeper into me, and the triangle with
the balls actually jerked. And that was all it took, this visual of Cassio’s visceral
taking of me, to send me over the edge, spinning me out of control so fast my
vision tunneled, focusing on the bright green fabric as my nails scraped over it.
My release hit me like a wrecking ball, and I dropped my head on the table,
trying to draw in breaths as my body quaked.
Cassio pulled out of me. I gasped and my walls constricted from the
unexpected loss. I could feel cold air hit my wet flesh. Then his tongue was
against me, heating it up. He lapped at me carefully, knowing I was still overly
sensitive. I became slack on top of the table, suspended by its edge as my legs
gave in.
Soon the pleasure built again, and he became hungrier, the lapping turning to
a thrashing. I lost all sense of time then, letting Cassio take control, letting him
give me pleasure and take his own until I felt almost delirious. We both ended up
sprawled on the pool table afterward, breathing harshly. I was fairly sure I’d
have rug burn and a few bruises tomorrow, but I couldn’t care less.
“Sometimes I wonder what I’ll tell Daniele once he’s older and demands
answers. He’ll wonder why half his family died.”
I turned toward him then rolled over and propped myself up on his chest, my
chin on my linked fingers. “You sound guilty.”
“Sometimes I feel guilty.”
“You had to kill Andrea. Even if you hadn’t killed him in a fit of rage, you’d
have to kill him for being a traitor.”
“I never got confirmation. I didn’t question him nor Gaia. I should have, but
I killed him before I could torture the truth out of him. And her… I simply
couldn’t press information out of her like that. She wouldn’t have told me
anything anyway.”
I gnawed on my lower lip. “Andrea was a traitor. Everything pointed to it, so
his death was inevitable. Gaia’s death was a result of their forbidden affair and
thus was inevitable too. It was her choice, and you couldn’t do anything to stop
it.”
“I killed Daniele’s and Simona’s grandparents also.”
“Daniele is going to ask questions one day, and we’ll answer them. We’ll tell
him Andrea was a traitor who ran away. His betrayal broke his sister’s heart, so
she killed herself, and their parents couldn’t live having lost both their children.
It’s a story few people could challenge and those that could, won’t.”
His palm caressed my back. “I didn’t think you’d be someone who’d opt for
a lie.”
