Chapter 7 Go Out With Me

• DANTE’S POV
• You know when you have this terrible adrenaline rush when you’re in front of something you want so badly and you just can’t control yourself and in two seconds you make a decision that will change your life as you know it forever? Yeah, that’s exactly what just happened in Adeline’s office some moments ago.
• I was already so agitated and I was still worked up from killing Ricardo Mel last night. Sometimes I have bursts of anger whenever I remember what happened to my sister and I wanted a release and Ricardo Mel was the perfect scape goat. After all the nasty things he has done he deserved all what I did to him last night. I tortured him and skinned him alive, literally.
• He didn’t really think he would go free just because he had a powerful lawyer like Liam by his side, did he? I gave him what he deserves and I’ll do the same to every other nasty pedophile out there. I’ll kill them all.
• As soon as I walked into Adeline’s office today, I immediately forgot about my promise to not get close to her. I’ve never met a woman who makes me weak, who makes me want to break all my rules and principles just so I can get a glimpse of her. She draws me in, in the best way possible and I want her all to myself.
• Everyone has their eyes on us as we walk out of her office building together and I fight the urge to tell each and every single one of them that this woman will be mine soon. The surprise on their faces tells me that they’ve never seen her do something like this before and it only turns me in even more because it lets me know she broke a rule for me. Just like I did for her.
• I look down at her as she sways her hips while she walks in front of me towards the parking lot and I lift my head up to the sky, putting my hands into fists at my sides to stop me from grabbing her right here and now and slamming her lips on hers. I want to touch her so bad. I want to run my hands all over her curves and I want to slide my tongue into her mouth and taste all her juices.
• I want to wrap my hands around her long hair and take her from behind. I want to do so many things to and with this woman I think I’m going to lose my mind.
• “I hate coffee Dante.” She says suddenly coming to a stop in front of me. She spins around and looks up at me with a frown on her face. I close the distance between us and look down at her petite figure. Even with her heels on, her head doesn’t reach my chin and standing this close to her, she’s so small and petite that I can’t help but think about how perfectly our bodies would be glued to each other.
• “Tell me what you love.” I state and her cheeks go red.
• “Why are we even doing this? I shouldn’t be going for coffee with my patients. In case you didn’t know, it ruins the entire professionality of the situation.” She argues.
• “Fine then I don’t want you as a therapist anymore. You’re fired.” I blurt out and her eyes widen. She opens her mouth to say something but closes it back up the next second. She’s making me impulsive. Did I really just fire her just so she’ll go out to coffee with me?
• “You can’t just fire me because if it turns out you really need help and I let you go, I won’t be able to forgive myself. I take my job very seriously Mr. Russo.” She’s going to make me lose my mind if she keeps calling me by my last name like that.
• “I’ll find another therapist.”
• “I’m the best there is.” She argues.
• “Then be my therapist and go out with me.” I bite back.
• “Can’t” She shakes her head and folds her arms across her chest stubbornly. “It’s unethical and against the rules of professionalism.”
• “You’re already out of your office. Might as well just come with me.” I tilt my head and bite back a smile. The entire situation and the fact that she’s trying to talk her way out of this is amusing to me. I can tell she wants this as much as I do.
• “That was a moment of weakness.” She says.
• “You’ve never broken a rule before Adeline?” I say with a calm and deep voice as I close the distance between us. Her hands drop to her sides when I bring my body down a bit, so I’m face to face with her.
• “Never wanted something bad enough you had to rebel a little for it? Haven’t you heard what people say about forbidden fruits? They’re always the sweetest.”
• “Dante…” She whispers and I feel her soft, warm and sweet breath fan my face. Her lips are so close and her body is right there. In front of me, but I’m a gentleman and until I know for sure she wants to fuck me as much as I want to fuck her, I won’t touch her. I stand and tower over her again, taking a small step back to lighten the tension between us.
• “You’re driving.” She says dismissively and waits for me to lead her to my car. I smile and start walking with her towards my black Audi. I’m not actually taking her out for coffee. I mean who takes a woman out for the first time to a coffee shop. That’s just rude and ungentlemanly.
• That doesn’t mean I’m going to take her somewhere too unsophisticated that she feels uncomfortable. No, I’ve been observing Adeline for enough time to know that she loves her salad. So, I’m going to take her to her favorite spot. I’ve watched her eat salad there so many times I’m convinced the chef has a special ingredient he puts in his salad that draws her in.
• I walk over to the passenger’s side and pull open the door for her, waiting for her to get in before I get into the driver’s seat. Her skirt slides up her thighs revealing clean, soft flesh and I grip the steering wheel so hard my knuckles turn white before I start the engine.
• This woman will be the death of me.
