“Take off your clothes for me”

Instantly, Pia froze “Here?”

“Here Now”

“You did say anything,” the devil said, taunting her

She tilted her head “Bene”

If this hat he wanted, then he would get it She held his gaze, letting the slu heat in it drive her She trusted Raphael with everything she had in her, so her shyness, her insecurity about her body, was nothing but a small barrier to cross

Sheon the side of her dress and pulled it down The quiet rasp of it was loud in the silence

Her movements were clumsy when she pulled the straps down Dark eyes watched her the whole time and flared when the silky material fell to her hips and her breasts were bared Pia shivered, less from the breeze that flew over her heated skin and er in his eyes

Her breasts felt heavier, the nipples turning into aching points as his gaze lingered there with barely hidden fascination

“Push it down all the way And step out of it”

Pia did as he bid, the last of her shyness leaving her at his quicksilver reaction He was right She had just as much power as he did in this situation Her dress whispered to the floor, and still in her heels, she kicked it away

She lifted her chin, daring hio on, even as a thousand butterflies danced in her belly His gaze moved from her breasts to her midriff and then lower The fli to hide her from him

“Are you wet for me?”

Heat burst inside of her like a hot geyser, spreading to every nerve ending “Raphael, per favore…”

“I wish to know, bella”

“I’ainst that pillar When the Duke oletto hired that assassin When Gilda sacrificed herself for her unscrupulous lover There, are you satisfied? Can you please take me to bed now?”
