Aurora’s POV
His lips plunged deeper into mine as I reciprocated, grappling his strong arm which was wrapped around my waist. I knew that I was stupid when I’d said that I wanted more, but it was the freaking truth.
He had challenged me and told me that I’d fall, and that was what I was doing presently.
“This is really crazy, Aurora.” He stated when he placed me on the bed carefully so that he could take off his shorts.
“What do you mean?”
“Having you in my arms, on the eve of your competition. Do you remember that day that you vowed never to get intimate with me? I guess the reverse is happening now.” He taunted, sticking out his tongue as I chewed my lips.
With his embarrassing statements, my cheeks had turned red hot but I could tell that he wasn’t done yet with his chocolate amber eyes of his that were ogling at me in a lustful manner.
“Stop talking, Matteo, or I might be tempted to change my mind.” I warned, in a shrill voice, though I’d wanted it to be more stern.
But how could that even be possible when the man who was taunting me had his fingers tickling a sweet spot I never knew existed?
He pressed my nipples hard and bit my ears so tenderly that I thought I would explode.
“Mat.. Matteo,” I moaned, as his phallus rubbed on my navel.
“You like it?” He asked and I bit my lower lip so that I wouldn’t respond, as I grasped the sheets while he lowered his tongue to my nipple and sucked it gently.
He bit my areola causing me to scream in sheer pleasure arching my waist towards him.
“Are you ready for me?” He asked, taking his lips away from nipples which were already sore from his intense sucking.
I lowered my lashes, not sure of my readiness for him. I’d never been with a man before because I couldn’t trust anyone with my body, but with Matteo it felt different. And each of his actions made whatever I was nursing for him grow stronger by the day.
“Yes..” I lied.
I’d watched some adult rated movies and touched myself to feel better, but none of them could match what Matteo had aroused in me. Unfortunately, he was the only one who could quench it.
“Alright.. Just hang on tight because this is going to be really hard and fast.” He chirped.
A snide thought crossed my mind as I imagined him talking dirty with other women.
He knelt properly before me and spread my thighs, placing two pillows under both thighs. I stared into his eyes and got lost at the desire and longing he had for me. Then I glanced at his dick which wasn’t just long but as thick as the spatula in the kitchen and I gasped, blinking incessantly.
“This is huge.” I whispered and a bout of laughter erupted from his mouth.
He stopped and closed the distance between us. He thrusted into me without warning, causing me to scream in pain. I felt like something had stabbed me and nothing prepared me for the kind of pain that shot through me.
Horror filled his face as he pulled out, his lips slackened and his eyes widened.
“You are a virgin?” He asked in a whisper.
I nodded, not able to speak because of the intensity of the pain. I straightened my thighs which were widened and took in a deep breath to even my breathing.
“Why didn’t you tell me, Aurora?” He growled, pulling away from me so that he would lie by my side.
It was the same thing I asked myself.
“I don’t know, Matteo. Let’s just continue,” I obliged him and he sprang up from the bed then got to his feet.
“No way! I won’t force you to do what you aren’t ready for, besides, you are already sore. I don’t want to hurt you further.” He said with a tender voice and his eyes laced with concern.
“Are you sure?” I asked.
He laughed at my question and sank to the bed beside me.
“If you are worried that I’ll go to another woman, that won’t happen.” I assured her and she rolled her eyes.
“You don’t need to make promises to me, we’re not even an item,” I said, watching him snort.
“Jealous much?” He teased and I smacked him on the head, wondering how he was so different from other men.
He was a mafia boss, the Capo of the Outfit, yet he decided to subdue his urge so that he wouldn’t hurt me. My mind flashed back to my uncle’s warning, I wasn’t sure of what to do, but I’d have to protect Matteo at all cost.
**********
It was the Deal day for the competition and I’d never felt more nervous in my life like I felt today. As I put on a pair of mom’s jeans and an orange T-shirt, I felt a warm hand on my shoulder.
“Don’t worry, Honey, you’ll do well.” Matteo assured me and snaked his arm around my waist then placed a kiss on my cheek.
A blush crept on my cheek as I wondered why he was being very sweet with me. Ever since we left New York, he had been very sweet with me and his sweetness toppled when he discovered that I was still a virgin.
“I really pray that I do because I feel so nervous. I never attended a culinary school and most of the contestants are top chefs.” I voiced my fear.
“I can make you the winner, you know,” He said in all seriousness while I pondered on what he said. Then I understood and rolled my eyes.
“No, Matteo, don’t do that. I have to merit this,” I disagreed and walked away from him after applying a little powder on my oily face and some lip gloss.
Matteo’s eyes were fixed on me by the time I was done. “You are beautiful without all of that,”
“Thanks.”
We walked out of the suite and entered the elevator. Nervousness reeked through me as my palms got sweaty. I held onto my bag tightly as the elevator dinged, and we left.
We got to the venue early and I walked faster into the hall, my eyes scanning through chefs who were already arranging their ingredients and utensils.
This is your passion, Aurora. It will lead you through. I thought and waved Matteo goodbye as I went to my spot. I wanted to prepare a two-course meal which consisted of meaty lasagna and creamy tiramisu.
“The competition will start now, so prepare your ingredients now.” The Coordinator said and we started.
A young man beside me sneered at me which was surprising because everyone was supposed to face their preparation. I needed to get water from the tap which was quite far from my spot in thirty seconds as the timer had already started counting.
I’d gotten a bowl of water but what happened next was surprising as an unforeseen obstacle stood in my way, causing me to trip with the bowl toppling over my head.
