Her Mafia Daddy - Chapter 36: Chapter 36

Closing my eyes, I tilted my face to the sun and tried to block out everything else in my life. I was on a beautiful ship in the most beautiful place in the world. Who knew when the opportunity would arise again once I left Siderno?
"Valentina ," Ravazzani snapped. "When was the last time you put on lotion?" The first words he spoke to me today were about my suntan? "I'm good," I said without opening my eyes.
"That was not what I asked." I lifted my sunglasses to pin him with an annoyed stare. "Why do you care?"
That apparently wasn't the right answer because his face darkened as his body went still. Even Katarzyna appeared shocked. "I care," he said, "because I do not want you sunburned for the wedding." Everything inside me longed to scream and throw things at him, but I would lose in any fight with this man for now.
So I dropped my sunglasses back in place and closed my eyes again. "You don't need to worry about that."
"Do as I say or….." He didn't finish because crew members arrived with our drinks, margaritas for Katarzyna, Dimitri , and me, white wine for Ravazzani. I ignored the other couple while Katarzyna chatted on, though I noticed his responses were limited to only one or two words.
Why did she put up with him? He couldn't be that good in bed. Please. You know he's a god in bed. Ugh. I couldn't start imagining it, not here. Not ever. Dimitri finally returned and shook like a dog, raining water down on me. I yelped, the cold droplets surprising me, and tried to push him away. "You rat!"
Katarzyna chuckled. "See? Cute," she said and draped her arms over Ravazzani's shoulders. I hated watching them together. I had no claim on him and I definitely hated him for trapping me in Italy yet I wanted to slap Katarzyna's hands off his body. How in the hell did that make any sense?
Standing, I pushed Dimitri over the side of the boat in retaliation. He hit the water with a splash and came up sputtering. I smirked down at him. "That's what you get, Dimitri."
He grinned. "Come swim with me again."
"Fine but first promise not to pull me under any more."
"Te lo prometto." I sprinted toward the end of the platform and jumped into the water.
Rafael's POV
I made a mistake in bringing Katarzyna. Needing this to look like a social outing, I had asked my mantenuta to come along. I hadn't seen her since the night at the castello and she always loved the boat. Yet it was clear from Valentina 's expression that she didn't care for Katarzyna.
Jealousy, perhaps? That seemed unlikely, given Valentina 's general dislike of me. More likely Katarzyna's habit of never knowing when to be quiet had rubbed Valentina the wrong way. But I noticed the way Valentina 's nipples had puckered when I walked out on the deck in my swim trunks. She might not like me, but she was attracted to me.
Something changed between us the night she tried to escape. I read the lust in her eyes, saw the flush on her cheeks. She'd practically been panting when she held the gun on me. My talk of fucking against a wall had aroused her even more.
She was not innocent, and my suspicions about her proved to be correct at every turn. I had a feeling that this girl liked it rough. Just as I did. And I was dying to find out. As much as I tried to tell myself otherwise, I was burning with the need to possess her, to keep her for myself. Two days I had avoided her and it wasn't working. I was just as obsessed, just as desperate to have her as before. I couldn't concentrate on anything. My days were spent watching video of her in the winery, the stables. Even with the damn lambs.
Basically, I was fucked. She was supposed to be for my son, the woman who would bear the next generation of Ravazzani leaders. So I had hoped seeing them together today would change my mind. That it would convince me to stay away from her and stick with my original plan of marrying her to Dimitri . Rid me of this shameful craving for a girl young enough to be my daughter.
And then I saw her in that tiny bikini. Cristo santo, her body was incredible. Soft rounded curves of creamy skin and an ass that I longed to bite. The small triangles of her top barely covered her glorious tits, and I wanted nothing more than to peel back that fabric and suck on her nipples. It was more than her body, however, Her fearless attitude, the way she stood up to me, turned me on. I wanted to control her, to make her beg for me.
Katarzyna pressed against my back, regaining my attention. "Do you want to go in and fuck?" Direct and to the point. That was what I liked best about her.
Did I want to fuck Katarzyna? As I watched Valentina splash in the water with Dimitri , I knew the answer. "No."
"Then do you mind if I go swimming?"
