"You belong to me, Princess. No one else will ever compare. That boy waiting for you? He doesn't stand a chance." His hand tightens around my throat, commanding and possessive, leaving me breathless. "I'm going to give you everything you crave—everything you've ever wanted. After me, no man will be enough. The thought of claiming you drives me wild. So hard I want you begging, but I won't stop. Know why? Because your pleasure is mine to control." His breath burns against my skin. "Speak the words I need to hear, and I'll make your deepest fantasies reality." His fingers trace my exposed skin, moving deliberately lower toward my heat. "Say it, Princess. Only those magic words will unlock what you truly desire." I crave him more than anything else in this world. His tongue brushes my ear as electricity shoots through me, his fingers teasing at my most sensitive flesh. "I-I'm yours, Papi." The words tumble out between ragged breaths as I watch his silver-grey eyes darken with that dangerous, knowing smirk. That dark, promising smile full of unspoken threat. I should fear this devastatingly gorgeous man standing before me—I know exactly who he is and what he's capable of. But instead, I'm drawn to him, a willing victim to his power. His grey eyes turn nearly black at my reaction, watching me like a predator studying his prey. If love is fire, I'll burn willingly for him. ♠♠♠♠♠ Sonia Vatore escaped death when her family was slaughtered before her eyes.
