Chapter Fifteen: Dante

T he soft lamplight from the corner of the room cast long, dancing shadows on the floor as I picked her up in my arms. Jade’s head rest against my chest, her eyes half-closed, a satisfied smile playing on her face.

“My hero,” she murmured, tracing a lazy finger along the curve of my collarbone. I chuckled softly at that, burying my face in her dark hair and breathing in the sweet scent of us.

In a few strides, we were in the bedroom. The bed was made with deep blue silk sheets that shimmered under the dim lighting. I set Jade down on the edge of the mattress, brushing a loose strand of hair out of her face before kissing her forehead tenderly.

“Sleep now,” I told her, my rough voice just above a whisper. She shook her head with a weak protest, curling her fingers around my wrist to prevent me from pulling away completely.

“You too,” she mumbled, her blue eyes blinking up at me sleepily. I didn’t have the heart to refuse her.

Stripping off the rest of my clothes quickly, I slid under the covers beside Jade. She nestled into my side immediately, her warm body pressing closer as she draped an arm across my chest. Her breath was even and slow against my skin as her eyelids fluttered closed.

Watching her, I couldn’t help but trace the curve of her cheek with my thumb. The slightest of smiles tugged at her lips as she stirred in her sleep, nuzzling closer to me. A surge of affection swept through me as I pulled her closer, careful not to wake her.

I’d never known a moment of peace quite like this. For once, the thought of the Moretti empire and all its darkness felt like a distant burden. Here, bathed in the soft glow of the lamp beside us, Jade in my arms...this was a different kind of world altogether.

A sigh escaped my lips as I leaned back against the pillows, my gaze tracing the ceiling above us. Jade’s steady breathing was a reassuring lullaby in the otherwise silent room. It was enough to make me ignore the nagging feeling of unease that twisted my gut.

This wasn’t our world to keep. We were borrowed pieces from different puzzles trying to fit together against all odds. How long before reality came crashing through?

I fell asleep thinking about it. When I woke up, it was still the middle of the night, and Jade was still naked next to me.

I’m just a man so…

...I gave into my urges again. My fingers traced over her soft skin, mapping the rise and fall of her body. The moonlight streaming through the window gave her an ethereal glow, turning her into a goddess under the sheets.

She stirred in her sleep, her back arching into my touch, a soft sigh slipping from her lips. I let my fingers explore her body, familiarizing myself with every curve and hollow, each touch more intimate than the last.

With every breath I took, I inhaled her scent – an intoxicating mix of our intertwined bodies and blossoming love. It made my heart pound in my chest, the echoing rhythm a testament to how desperate I was for this woman beside me.

Jade’s body responded to my touch even in slumber, a shiver running through her as my hand dipped lower. Still asleep, she shifted closer to me, her bare leg draping over mine. She was wrapped around me as though she belonged there – as though we belonged together.

My lips found their way to her neck, peppering kisses from her collarbone up to her earlobe. A low groan escaped from me as my hand teased the sensitive area between her thighs.

She was still soaked and ready for me.

“Dante,” she murmured in her sleep, and I felt the rush of heat in my veins. The desire was a roaring fire within me, burning me up from the inside. I had to have her, again and again, until we were both spent from the ecstasy.

My mind was filled with the image of Jade’s bare body writhe underneath me, and I lost myself in her.

When I pushed into her, she gasped, eyes fluttering open to meet mine.

“Fuck,” she said, her eyes now open.

“Do you not want my cock inside you?”

“I—“ I stopped her from answering, burying myself to the hilt in her tight little pussy, making her moan instead.

“You can try to deny it all you want but I can feel how wet you are,” I said.

Her eyes widened at my crude language, but she didn’t protest. Instead, she just clenched around me, making me groan with pleasure.

“See?” I taunted, thrusting into her once more. “You can’t deny your desire for me.”

Jade tried to turn away from me, a blush staining her cheeks, but I hooked an arm around her waist and pulled her back against my chest.

“Is this what you missed when you ran away from me? Is this what you touched yourself thinking about?”

“Dante!” Jade gasped, her body tensing as the color in her cheeks deepened. I could hear the mix of embarrassment and arousal in her voice, and I revelled in it.

“Yes, Jade?” I asked, a smirk playing on my lips as I continued my slow but deliberate thrusts.

She didn’t answer at first, biting down on her lower lip as she tried to stifle a moan. But when I brushed my thumb over her swollen clit, all resistance fell away.

“Yes,” she breathed out, pressing back against me as she writhed from the combined sensations. “I missed you.”

“Did you think about my cock in all your holes?”

“Dante!” Jade protested again, but there was no true anger in her voice. Her body was trembling, her hips moving in time with mine. I didn’t need an answer. Her actions spoke louder than words.

“Tell me, Jade,” I urged her, my voice a low rumble in her ear. She let out a soft whimper, her head falling back against my shoulder as pleasure washed over her.

“I did...I did think about you,” she confessed in a whisper. Each word was punctuated by a moan as I continued to move within her.

“Oh, you wanted my fingers in your holes, too,” I said. “You want me to finger your ass while you come?”

“Dante!” Jade cried out, but this time it was a sigh of pleasure, not protest. I felt her walls clench around me tighter as I continued to stroke her, bringing her closer and closer to the edge.

“Well, then,” I murmured in her ear. “Let’s give you what you’ve been thinking about. Get your hands and knees.”

I pulled away from her, aligning her swiftly on all fours on the bed. The sight of her, bare and exposed, sent a fresh wave of desire coursing through my veins.

“Yes, like that,” I murmured, one hand coming to rest on the small of her back. I positioned myself behind her, my fingers gently tracing over the curve of her ass. She shivered beneath my touch and I chuckled lowly.

“I’m going to make you come apart, Jade,” I declared, my hands stroking over her thighs, working their way up to her heat. At the same time, I positioned my cock at her entrance again, pressing against her with a teasing slowness that made her whimper.

As I pushed into her once more, my hand moved lower to tease at her other hole. Her breath hitched in anticipation and I smirked at the reaction.

“Are you ready for this?”

I dipped one finger inside just as my cock plunged deeper into her pussy. The dual sensation made Jade cry out, a mixture of surprise and pleasure echoing in the room.

“Just relax,” I said. “I need to work you up to my cock.”

“You’re so big, I don’t know how I can take all of you.”

Fuck, this woman was trying to make me come right then and there.

“But you want to. Isn’t that right, Jade?” I pressed, my voice low and husky, the words brushing against her earlobe as I leaned over her. A part of me anticipated denial or hesitation from her but instead, she moaned softly in response.

“Yes... yes, Dante,” Jade admitted in a whisper that sent a shiver through me. My smirk deepened as my free hand moved to stroke her clit again while my other continued to tease at her entrance and my cock thrust deeper into her. The bed creaked softly under our movements and the room filled with the sounds of our panting breaths and soft moans.

Her gasps grew louder when another finger joined the first, stretching her slowly but surely for what was to come. And with each thrust of my cock inside her cunt, Jade’s body writhed in response.

“That’s it, Jade... just like that,” I groaned out as I felt her body seizing around me. She was so close now; I could tell by how tightly she was clenching around me and the desperate pitch of her moans. All it would take is a few more strokes...

With my free hand, I stroked her clit once, twice, and then Jade lurched against me with a high, strangled cry. Her body spasmed as she came, her walls tightening around me in waves. It took all of my willpower not to come right then and there too.

“You think I can make you squirt while I fuck your ass?” I asked, not letting her recover from her orgasm.

“Dante!” Jade’s voice wavered, caught between disbelief and a hint of excitement that sent a surge of energy through me.

“Answer me, Jade,” I demanded, my voice stern yet laced with raw desire. My fingers continued to stroke over her sensitized flesh, my cock still buried deep inside her.

She moaned softly, the sound hitching as I pressed my fingers ever so slightly deeper into her other hole. She was still trembling from her orgasm, and it was driving me insane.

“I...I don’t know...,” she stuttered, but the tiny shiver in her spine told me she was considering it.

“Let me show you,” I suggested, my voice dangerously low. I wasn’t asking for permission anymore. I was going to seduce her into this; to show her how good it could be. After all, I prided myself on knowing what she needed even before she did.

With that, I pulled out of her pussy slowly so that the sudden emptiness made her whimper in disappointment. I wasn’t going to keep her waiting for long though. Resting my cock against her slick folds for a second, I pushed inside once more, all while maintaining the gentle pressure on her other hole.

“You have such a gorgeous cunt. It’s such a shame to ever be away from it.”

“Dante,” Jade murmured, half-protest, half-plea. She was wet and trembling beneath me, her body reacting to my every touch.

“Relax, Jade,” I instructed gently, my fingers continuing to play over her tight entrance. “I’ve got you.”

“Go slow,” she said in a hushed whisper. Her body keenly attuned to my every move.

“Of course,” I replied softly, then moved away from her for a second. With a slowness that took every ounce of my control, I began to press my cock gently into her ass. The sound that escaped from Jade’s lips was somewhere between a gasp and a moan—a sweet surrender to the pleasure that made my heart pound in my chest. “You’re good, beautiful. Relax.”

Her body tensed beneath the unfamiliar intrusion, a gasp slipping from her lips. I held still, swearing under my breath as the tight warm enclosure threatened to undo me.

“Breathe, Jade,” I murmured, stroking her back in soothing circles. “Relax...it’s just me.” My voice was barely above a whisper. Despite the intensity of my desire, my first priority was her comfort.

She swallowed audibly, taking long deep breaths as I instructed. Gradually, Jade’s body began to relax and I could feel her loosening around me.

“That’s it,” I coaxed, pressing a soft kiss to the base of her neck. Slowly, inch by inch, I eased further into her until I was fully sheathed.

The tension in her body was replaced with a shiver of pleasure that vibrated through me when Jade moaned softly. A spike of satisfaction shot through me at the sound; satisfaction mixed with raw, primal desire.

“Fuck...” I groaned out, shutting my eyes tight against the onslaught of sensations. It required every ounce of my control not to start moving immediately.

But she took it out of my hands, because she started to press her ass against me and I let out a low groan. “Jade... fuck, Jade,” I gritted out, my hands on her hips. I pulled myself nearly all the way out before plunging back into her, setting a slow rhythm that had us both gasping and moaning.

I groaned, the movement sending another wave of desire coursing through me. Jade’s breath hitched as I eased back out of her, then pushed in again slowly. Each movement was slow and deliberate, designed to make her feel every inch of me.

“Dante,” she whimpered. I could hear the plea in her voice, its desperation only fueling my own.

“Do you like that?” I asked huskily, my hand reaching around to stroke her clit in rhythm with my thrusts.

“Yes,” she gasped out, her voice trembling with the force of her pleasure. “Yes...yes...”

Her repeating affirmations were like a balm to my tortured self-control. They spurred me on, making me lose myself in the heat and the tightness that was Jade. My strokes became less calculated and more primal, driven by need and pure lust.

But I wanted her to come again.

I wanted to feel her squirt on my hand again, I wanted her to soak the sheets under us.

So I started to move my thumb back and forth faster on her throbbing bud, trying to bring her to another climax while I continued to fuck her slow. Jade’s breaths came out in short gasps now, her moans becoming louder and more frantic with every thrust. I fucked her ass harder now, my fingers moving slowly over her clit, in a motion that had her trembling beneath me, gasping with each sweet little pulse of pleasure. I could feel how close she was, her body tight and trembling.

“That’s it, Jade,” I murmured into her ear, my words raspy as the animalistic urge to claim her fully washed over me. “Come for me. I want to feel you.”

Her body tightened around me, trembling as her knees gave out and she collapsed onto the bed. I followed her down, burying my face in her hair as she let out a guttural cry of release. Her body convulsed around my cock and my hand, fluid gushing over my fingers and soaking the sheets beneath us. Her tight channel gripped me so hard that I barely had time to pull out before I was spilling over her ass and lower back in thick, hot spurts.

“Fuck,” I growled into her ear as the last waves of my climax rolled through me. My heart pounded in my chest as I fought to draw breath, while Jade whimpered softly beneath me, her body still twitching with aftershocks of her own orgasm.

I slapped her pussy softly, quickly—just hard enough to make her squirm.

“You like that?” I murmured, my lips brushing against her ear as she shivered under my touch.

Jade responded with a barely audible gasp, her body instinctively arching back into me.

With a satisfied growl, I reached for a nearby cloth and gently cleaned the mess from our bodies. The scent of sweat and sex filled the room, mingling with the faint traces of her perfume.

“See?” she asked. “I knew it would be better if you stayed.”

And suddenly, everything felt like it was about to break.

Again.
