Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion

Chapter 224: What I Came Here For

My body stiffened as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me back against his hard frame. I could feel the hardness of his muscles against my back along with his body heat. The nightgown and robe that I had on was made of very thin satin and it didn’t provide much barrier between our tightly pressed bodies. I could feel his breath in my ear and knew that he was staring down at my face.

I kept my eyes averted as I tried to think of what to say.

"Answer me," Hayden commanded in a low voice.

When I lapsed into silence as I hesitated, he started punishing me by hugging me even tighter than before. I need to answer him before he either crushes my ribs or I run out of breath.

"I didn’t…come here to…sleep with you…" I managed to say in a struggle.

Hayden’s arms around my body relaxed and I quickly drew in a deep breath before I lost my chance to breathe. He’s such a bully…

If I thought that Hayden was satisfied with my answer, I quickly found out that I was so wrong.

"Do you really mean sleep…or…" Hayden said teasingly as his hands began untying the little sash of the robe around my waist.

When his hand parted the thin robe that I was wearing and began caressing my waist, my body froze in shock. I had to get a grip on myself before my body betrays me and starts responding to his seductive touches.

"Wait…I didn’t come here for this…" I said with so much determination, but my voice came out so soft and weak.

"For what? I don’t understand what you’re referring to…" Hayden continued to tease me.

Of course, he knows what I’m talking about. Why does he have to make me say it?!

He started kissing the nape of my neck softly as he made sniffing sounds. Pressing his nose against my skin, he breathed in my scent and my body shivered in his arms. His lips made small kissing sounds as he trialed soft kisses along the side of my neck. Occasionally, he would pause before sucking and nibbling on my sensitive skin. I felt goosebumps form on my skin as my body began responding to him.

My body writhed in his arms from the exquisite pleasure. Hayden held me in place with his arms around my body as his lips continued to tease the sensitive spots on my neck.

I need to say it…otherwise, I won’t get to tell him what I came here to tell him…

Why is he making this so difficult for me? My body is turning against me as my legs and arms started feeling weak. At this rate, I’m going to lose myself…

"I didn’t come here…to have…sex with you…" I managed to say through gritted teeth.

My hands balled into fists, and it was the pain of my nails digging into the palms of my hand that helped my mind focus on saying what I needed to say.

After one final firm and long kiss on my neck, Hayden lifted his face away from my neck. He stared down into my face with a slightly astonished face. His blue eyes widened at me innocently as he looked at me in wonder.

"Then, what did you come here for?" he asked softly.

Hayden stared down at me silently and I knew that he was waiting for me to speak. I wanted to speak so badly too but now that the time had arrived, and I had his undivided attention, it became so hard to say what I wanted…

Hayden’s wide blue eyes staring down at me as he waited for me to say something didn’t help my case at all. His gaze only made me more nervous, and I knew that all the preparation and thought that I had put in while walking along the long hallway to his room wasn’t even near enough to prepare me for what I wanted to say to him. I bit my lower lip as a knot formed in my throat.

Why is it so hard to talk to him?

"I came here…to thank you…for helping me. You know, with my art…" I said, forcing each word out of my mouth.

It was great that I had my back turned to him so that it seemed natural for me to look away from him. I didn’t want to stare into his blue eyes when I spoke to him because it would just make me feel nervous. Talking to him honestly was difficult and I had never been like this with anyone. He intimidated me and my heart always skipped a beat when he stares so deeply into my eyes.

I closed my eyes and sighed, knowing well that this was an area that I needed to improve upon.

Hayden was silent and his arms relaxed around my body. His silence lasted too long, and I began to wonder what was happening. Curiously, I turned my head around to look up at him.

"Was that so hard for you to say?" Hayden asked before he smiled a little at me.

Well, I guess it shouldn’t be but…

"It was. Sorry…I should have thanked you sooner," I admitted in a whisper.

"You don’t have to apologize. I didn’t help you because I wanted your thanks," Hayden said casually.

His light tone caught me off guard. I didn’t know how to respond so I just nodded my head. Now that I’ve finally said what I came here to say, it felt like a huge and tall mountain had been lifted off my chest. I could breathe easier, and my mind started to clear. If only I could talk to Hayden as easily as he could talk to me.

"I know that, but I honestly wanted to thank you…but in the end, I ended up saying means things to you instead…" I said before trailing off.

I still felt like there were some things that he did that was wrong. Keeping me locked up here in this mansion with him, for instance. However, two wrongs did not make it right.
