In His Grasp: A Mafia Romance

Chapter 118: Loving Her Body

Isabella leaned in close to Emanuele, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Your strong suit is your prowess in the bedroom. I think any woman would appreciate a man with that kind of skill."

Isabella's body pressed against Emanuele's as she held onto his neck. Their bodies, separated by thin fabric, ignited a sudden desire in Emanuele. His body stiffened as a wave of heat surged towards his lower half.

He truly desired her, regardless of how many times they had been together. His body's subconscious choice was always her.

Emanuele decisively embraced Isabella, then carried her up the stairs. As they ascended, he said, "Isabella, do you know this is the highest compliment a man can receive?"

There was no man who didn't enjoy being praised for their bedroom prowess, especially when it came from someone they loved. It made them feel on top of the world.

Since she liked it so much, he thought he should put in some extra effort to make her like him even more.

With this in mind, Emanuele laid Isabella on the bed. Before Isabella could react, he pressed his lips to hers, engaging in a deep, passionate kiss. Emanuele's tongue moved inside Isabella's mouth, leaving her breathless.

After their previous encounters, Isabella had quickly adapted, and she took the initiative, intertwining her tongue with Emanuele's.

Now, Isabella lay on the bed, and Emanuele pressed down on her. He kissed her lips and then trailed kisses down to her neck.

Emanuele gazed at her slender neck and, for some reason, had the urge to bite it. So, he did just that, sinking his teeth into Isabella's neck. This caused Isabella to gasp in pain and let out a cry.

The fragile beauty before him made Emanuele suddenly understand why so many people were drawn to vampires. At that moment, he wished he were one, just so he could taste the blood of the woman he loved.

Emanuele quickly removed Isabella's clothes and positioned himself between her legs. He plunged into her body with a force that left her gasping.

Her moans played like a symphony, stimulating his hormones. Emanuele's body enveloped hers, feeling the warmth and wetness of her body.

This sensation was incredibly addictive. Emanuele marveled at it and gave himself fully to the woman beneath him. As he watched her face flush with pleasure and her eyes glisten with moisture, he tightly grasped Isabella's buttocks.

The sounds of their bodies uniting filled the entire room.

After their final thrust, he lay on top of Isabella, pulled her close, and enjoyed the overwhelming sense of satisfaction. This was something only Isabella could provide, and Emanuele was grateful for having met her.

"Isabella, do you like it when I'm inside you?" Emanuele turned onto his side, holding Isabella in his arms. Their bodies pressed close together.

Did he have to be so direct? Isabella was momentarily taken aback, but she didn't say anything. However, Emanuele's lower half began to press against her buttocks unmistakably. This bold move startled Isabella, and she quickly replied, "I do."

She was exhausted and hoped Emanuele wouldn't tire her out any further. Emanuele always liked to ask her these embarrassing questions in bed, even if it was just a brief response, it still caused Isabella's face to flush.

Satisfied with Isabella's response, Emanuele smiled and hugged her more tightly.

"Same for me. Your figure is truly enchanting, like a fairy. Isabella, you were made for me," Emanuele praised Isabella openly. He was genuinely mesmerized by her body, and he saw no reason to hide it. In Emanuele's compliments, Isabella gained a newfound confidence. She felt like she was becoming more cheerful and happier, as if she had stepped out of the shadow cast by Chloe.

However, that's all it was. Isabella leaned against Emanuele, feeling his heartbeat. She knew he liked her body, but she also knew that it was just her body. Their relationship was still a game, and if she allowed herself to fall into this game, she would suffer greatly.

Yet, she also realized that her body had an undeniable charm over Emanuele. Considering that his emotions were clearly affected by her, Isabella couldn't help but smile. She would work hard to make Emanuele fall in love with her. When that happened, she would be the victorious one in this game.

"Isabella, your uncle's family is about to leave, and they want to have dinner with you before they go. Do you have time?" Sophia called Isabella to inquire.

In recent days, Isabella's uncle and aunt had been staying at Lombardi Manor, and now they were about to leave. Sophia wanted to know Isabella's thoughts.

Thinking of Chloe and her uncle's family, Isabella realized she was no longer as terrified as before. Even though Chloe's insults still haunted her thoughts, they no longer suffocated her with fear.

Did this mean that she had overcome her inner fears? Had her claustrophobia healed completely? To conquer her fears, Isabella knew she had to confront Chloe directly. Only then could she break free from the fear Chloe had instilled in her.

"Sure, but I'll have to check with Emanuele first. We're married, so we attend family gatherings together," Isabella replied.

"Great, I look forward to seeing you all. I'll make your favorite dishes."

After ending the call, Isabella contacted Emanuele.

"No problem. I have some free time these days," Emanuele agreed.

However, he narrowed his eyes, thinking about Chloe. He knew that woman mistreated Isabella and often bullied her, but Isabella assured him that she would handle it. He wondered if she could provide a satisfactory solution. If not, he was prepared to take matters into his own hands.

He had dealt with those who had bullied Isabella before, and if Chloe truly mistreated her, he wouldn't spare her either.

With that in mind, Emanuele called Sophia and informed her that he would be attending the dinner.

"Thank you for making the effort to come to the gathering, Emanuele, especially with your busy schedule," Sophia expressed her gratitude.

"There's nothing to it. Sophia, may I ask you something? Is Isabella close to Chloe?" Emanuele inquired.

"Isabella has lived with her uncle's family since she was very young. She and Chloe are of similar age and have grown up together."

Sophia's tone seemed to suggest that she was unaware of any issues between them. Perhaps Emanuele had overreacted. Maybe the arguments between Isabella and Chloe had escalated due to misunderstandings or miscommunication.

On the day of the gathering, Isabella chose a navy blue dress from her closet. This shade of ocean blue accentuated her beauty, making her eyes shimmer like the glistening sea.
