The Mafia’s Wanted Desires

ASHLEY

“So, what’s the sex like?” Dawn asked like it was the most casual thing in the world. My eyes almost flew out of their sockets while Dawn looked so horrified. I stared at the redhead on the screen of my phone, who was twirling her hair between her fingers, her blue eyes sparkling with so much mischief as she grinned from ear to ear.

“Dawn!” I shrieked, lifting my body off the egg chair I was seated on. My cheeks suddenly grew so hot at the question she just asked.

“Girl, you are crazy!” Ivana yelled, but she was unable to hide her amusement. I could see past the horrified facade she had on her face because beneath it, was a smile that was about to break out.

It made me more embarrassed.

“What?!” Dawn shot at us, defending herself with a grin.

“Have you seen the man? He looks like Adonis’ first son!” She exclaimed, tucking her hair behind her ear. I threw her a nasty glare and she raised her hands in mock surrender while Ivana’s heated gaze was trained on me.

“That’s my husband you are talking about!” I didn’t realize I had snapped at Dawn until I watched a look of surprise flash across her face and it had me turning crimson before dropping my back into the egg chair that swung sideways because of my weight. Heck, my legs were barely on the floor.

I suddenly couldn’t hold their gaze any longer and the view around the Patio seemed like the most interesting thing in the world. In truth, I thought I had seen it all on the rooftop, but this Patio held the most beguiling view. I could see almost everything in my surroundings, not to mention the cool breeze that blew my hair around. The patio was circular, surrounded by cute milk cushions and egg chairs, alongside a fireplace in the middle of the space, and the flooring was made of beautiful grey stones.

“Uh uh, no, we are not doing that, Ash. We are having this talk.” Dawn debunked and I groaned, tucking my hair behind my ear. I looked at her, amusement etched on her face and I couldn’t bring myself to stare at Ivana because I wasn’t ready for the intensity of her gaze.

“Talk about what?” I frowned, wanting to get myself out of the mess I had tangled myself in.

“Yes, we are talking about it. A few weeks ago I could remember that we practically forced you to go into the house to meet him because you were so scared of him. All I am saying is, you hated the guy and now, you should have seen the look on your face when Dawn said he’s hot. You looked like you were going to pounce on her.” Ivana spoke calmly, her voice holding a hint of taunt in it and it made me red in the face, eliciting a giggle from her.

“Yeah, girl. You looked like you were going to murder me. Come on, what’s going on?” Dawn asked and my eyes flitted to her twinkling ones.

“Nothing is going on anywhere, ugh, you girls are so nosy!” I whined, digging my fingers into my unpacked hair. The knowing look on Ivana’s face had me doing a double take, causing me to arch my brows at her.

“What’s that look for?” I queried and she chuckled.

“Dawn, I think Ashley is starting to warm up to him.” Ivana directed her answer at Dawn, earning a loud squeal from her. I just stared at the duo like they had gone completely insane. I do not like the man! He’s a murderer! He kills people for a living. How is a person in her right senses supposed to like someone like that?

“Girls!” I chided them, horrified, “What the hell are you two saying?” I queried, a frown etched on my face, but the two minxes seemed to be so convinced that I liked him. I don’t like him or do I? Of course not! Sure, he is hot and all, but that was it. I couldn’t possibly grow a soft spot for someone like him.

“So, you are saying…” Dawn trailed off, sitting up on her bed to face the screen properly with this sly smile on her face. My eyebrows drew together at the expression on her face. I spared Ivana a cursory glance and she passed me a teasing smile, wiggling her eyebrows at me.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“Since that day…” Dawn drew her words again.

“Oh, get to it!” I rolled my eyes.

“You guys haven’t, you know, had sex?” She asked, pouting and Ivana burst into laughter. My eyes grew wider than their normal side and my cheeks grew hot at her vulgar choice of words.

“Dawn!” I exclaimed.

“Girl, please!” She retorted.

I turned to Ivana for support, but the blonde-haired girl had amusement sparkling in her amber eyes. She was expecting me to answer Dawn’s question.

“We haven’t had sex!” I whisper-yelled, my eyes doing a quick scan of my surroundings to check for anyone that was hanging around. Afterwards, I threw the giggling girls a stink eye, huffing.

“Sure, we kiss___” I dropped the bombshell. The words had spluttered out of my mouth before the realization of what I had done hit me like a punch in the guts. I swallowed, blinking softly.

“Uh…” I trailed off, staring at the two girls who had their mouths hanging in shock.

“Bitch, you kissed him!”

“Oh, my God!”

Shit.

“What? No! We didn’t kiss!” I lied through gritted teeth but the duo saw past the lies that I was spewing. I groaned softly, weighing the options in my head. I could decide to hang up on them and face the consequences later or I could just tell them the truth.

The kiss was so good but it suddenly became so hard to admit it. It felt like a weight on my throat. I couldn’t bring myself to say it.

“Girl, you didn’t even say anything the day we went shopping together!” Dawn cried out. Ivana had the ghost of a smile on her lips, almost as though she knew what I didn’t. I blinked, reverting my gaze to Dawn. Hers, I could handle, but not Ivana’s.

“Fine,” I grumbled.

“Yeah, we kissed. It wasn’t that__”

“I am so sure the red tints on your cheeks will disagree with you, Evaline,” Ivana smirked and I pouted, palming my face to suppress the twitching of my lips.

“Ugh, your babies are going to be so cute,” Dawn cried.

“Dawn!” Ivana and I shrieked in unison.

“What? I am just stating the obvious.” She mumbled with an eye roll and I heard Ivana mutter something along the lines of ‘crazy girl’ under her breath. I brought my hands to my hair and brushed it backwards, my eyes straying to the enormous gate in the distance. On cue, a dark grey Lamborghini drove into the compound, eliciting a slight furrow of my brows. I can boldly say I knew all the cars in this compound and there was not even a replica of a Lamborghini in the compound.

“Babe, are you okay?” Ivana asked and my eyes beheld her worried ones. I forced a smile at her.

“Girls, I will talk to you later. I have to attend to something.” I told them and they blew kisses at me.

“I love you,”

“We love you too,” They smiled at me and hung up. I dropped my phone on my lap, packing my hair in a messy bun before looking up to see the car door being opened by a man I presumed to be the driver of the Lamborghini. The first thing my gaze anchored on was a pair of heels that seemed to glow so brightly even though it was starting to get dark. Afterwards, there was lush black hair and when the feminine figure rose to her feet, I was beyond stunned.

She had straight black hair that poured down her shoulders and her porcelain skin was void of blemishes. She had black Dolce Shades covering her eyes but I could still see her shimmering lips that were perfectly glossed, pursed in a slight frown. My eyes dropped to her attire and I found myself sucking in some breath.

She doesn’t have the curviest body but she had a pair of flawless legs and a slim frame that augmented the black satin skirt she was wearing, which stopped right on her mid-thigh. She paired it with a red off-the-shoulder blouse that had overly puffy sleeves, alongside a black Jacquemus bag. The driver shut the door behind her and she flipped her hair over her shoulders, sauntering into the house.

My house.
