Chapter 28
Leonardo De Luca
On the way home I inform Russo of the new information. It changes everything. They might have been blackmailed but things could’ve been done differently if only they had just come to me instead of betraying me.
And now, Landon just won’t leave us the fuck alone! As soon as came home, I spotted Alessia sleeping on the couch but I quickly walked passed her and headed to the shower to wash off all the blood from my body. I removed my clothes and. disposed of them so they could not be traced to anyone.
When I got out of the shower, I got changed and headed downstairs to Alessia.
Alessia Guzman
Why am I bouncing? I groaned when sleep escaped me and the realization settled in.
“Leo?” I asked, my voice groggy and my eyes still shut. I cuddled further into his chest when I became conscious of the fact that he was carrying me. He smelled of fresh shower.
“Bellissima, I didn’t mean to wake you.” He whispered. Even though I had just woken up, he sounded more tired than I was. My eyes opened just as he laid me down on his soft mattress.
“It’s okay. I tried to wait for you. What time is it?” I asked, rubbing my eyes with the side of my hand and that’s when I finally saw the look on his face. Leonardo was exhausted. His hair was wet and messy, probably from his shower. It seemed like he had a rough night and I couldn’t help but feel an ache of pure concern in my chest.
“Just after 3.” He said, sitting down on the edge of the bed.
“What’s wrong?” I asked, propping myself up onto my elbows. I was genuinely worried but Leonardo let out a sigh that was nothing short of annoyance. I frowned at him.
“Nothing. Don’t worry about it. Go back to sleep, please.” He said as he stood up from the bed.
Go back to sleep? Oh no, you don’t!
I sat up fully and watched him.
“Are you okay?” I asked, just wanting to know if he was alright.
“Yeah.” Was his short and curt answer.
“You sure?” I was a little bit hesitant. This time though, he gripped the edge of the bed. “Yes, Alessia, Go back to sleep.”
I was stunned at his change in behavior and a dreadful feeling washed over me when I realized that he probably wanted to be left alone and I was clearly in the way.
He was beginning to make me regret ditching Isabella for him.
Surely I could still get an Uber by this time.
“Okay,” I said, nodding but mostly to myself. I slid my legs over the bed, setting my feet onto the soft carpet just as Leonardo’s head snapped in my direction.

“What are you doing?” He asked, straightening his back. I didn’t answer, too busy trying to put on my dress that I had taken off before showering earlier.
“You’re leaving?” He asked again, this time turning to me completely.
He didn’t seem to take my attempt to leave slightly and when he took a step forward, I felt the tension in the room amplify to the point where I was hesitant to take another step. But I did.
As soon as I turned around to exit the room, a hand was wrapping around my arm and stopping me.
That wasn’t all. He whirled me around and pushed me against the wall but not hard enough to hurt. Even though he made sure to be gentle, I could sense that he was anything but happy. I groaned, feeling him lock me in place by pressing his pelvis against mine.
“Why?” He asked and bent down, his face a mere few inches away from mine. I glared at him even though my body had an entirely different response to his body being so close to mine…
“Don’t look at me like that. Tell me why you still want to leave.” He said, raising his hand to grab my cheeks in a way that shouldn’t have turned me on the way it did.
His free hand was above my head, planted against the wall. I was caged and I hated how my pussy throbbed at the contact.
Now is not the time to be horny!!
“You’re making it fucking hard to stay,” I stated firmly, watching his face soften as I spoke. A gentle and apologetic expression formed on his face but he remained silent.
I felt his body stiffen against mine and I could feel an internal debate taking place in his head before he decided to just murmur, fuck it!
“What-” Leonardo shut me right up by pressing his lips against mine with such force that I couldn’t help but gasp. He took the opportunity to slide his tongue into my mouth, kissing me harder than he’d ever kissed me before.
I felt my tensed shoulders drop and my body relax while I let him claim my lips with his own. I moaned loudly, shutting my
eyes.
I laid my hands on his chest, mustering up enough strength to push him away from me. He stumbled back, apparently off guard while I stood there trying to catch my breath.
And this time, I was the one to say, fuck it!
Leonardo knew I had completely given in and it showed in the way he had no hesitation to pull me back to him.
His mouth met mine again and with no objection from me, his hands wandered down to my hips. Aside from his shirt, the only other piece of clothing on my body was my underwear.
My nipples hardened, brushing against the thin fabric while my chest pressed against him.
I was already frustrated because I stopped him earlier on and all the frustration had built up. After all that, I sought a relief I knew only he could give me.
“I want you here.” He breathed. “Feel how badly I want you here. He grabbed my waist, grinding me into him and I felt his hard cock between my thighs.
I had no time to react. Leonardo’s hands left my waist to grab my ass, lifting me and my legs were wrapped around him.

“Don’t think I don’t want you around. I do. I fucking do.” He whispered, kissing down the side of my neck. “I just didn’t want. to take my anger out on you.”
I grabbed his face, forcing him to look at me. “Please….just shutip.
This wasn’t the time for any form of talking…
