Dante's Love (18+)

Chapter 16

I tried to ignore the Italian's lingering stare as we left the meeting.

Dante pressed his palm firmly on my lower back as he guided me to a black Porsche that was waiting for us. The car was void of any sort of conversation as we sped off to the hotel. I could not bear to bring my eyes to meet the intimidating man who made the edge of my fingers tingle with excitement.

A gush of wind blew our face as we entered Locando Don Serafino Hotel. I was at a total lost for words as I took in the hotel's aesthetic.

It was not just any normal high-tier hotel. This hotel decided the embrace the nature terrains, having low rock ceilings as if we were in a cave. I studied the intricate architecture of the stone walls, each of the stone unique and different in shapes and sizes.

A polite cough interrupted my amazed stare.

"Mr and Mrs De Luca. Thank you very much for choosing our hotel for your stay. Would you like me to show you to the Luxury Suite?" A young, short Italian woman whose name tag read Sofie, greeted us.

Mr and Mrs De Luca? I frowned, confused. However, Dante did not seem to be fazed at the misconception.

Dante gave a brief nod and followed Sofie while I trailed behind. Other staff rushed to help us with our bags as we left the hotel lobby.

"And here we are." Sofie swiped the card on the reader and opened the door.

I was too lost in my thoughts to realise that we were standing in front of a wooden door. The door opened to reveal a spacious room with a King size bed, a connecting toilet and a sliding door leading to outside where a glimpse of a jacuzzi and sun chairs could be seen.

I stepped inside the room, before peering around and wondering where my adjoining room is. Puzzled to find none, I turned to Sofie.

"Where is my room?"

Sofie looked surprise as she stuttered, "Your room is right here, mam. With Mr De Luca."

"I requested for a 2 room suite, Sofie." His deep voice rung out.

Sofie appeared even more flabbergasted as she stuttered, "No, no sir. You specifically requested for a 1 bed su- ."

She quickly quietened down as she saw Dante's fierce glare. My heart tightened as I saw the young female shuffle back in terror. Without thinking, I placed a hand on Dante's forearm. I felt the muscles beneath me tightened before relaxing into my hold.

Smiling at the trembling girl, I continued, trying to make my tone appear lighter than usual, "Its okay. Its just a silly mistake. Is there any other rooms available for me?"

Sofie glanced at the brooding male before quickly shaking her head.

"That's okay. What about a spare mattress?"

Again, the terrified girl quickly shook her head again.

I pursed my lips thoughtfully. This is fine, I barely would even be in the bed at all during my time here in Sicily.

I quickly waved her off and the thankful girl nodded her head slightly before sprinting off like her hair was on fire.

It was just me alone with the dark adonis. Dante leaned against the dresser table and crossed his arms, making his muscles bulge. My stomach tightened with lust as I stared at his defined physique.

"I guess we have to sleep together, again." He smirked, bringing up our past secret rendezvous.

However, his smirk quickly dropped as his eyes took in the sight of me creating a very tall fort wall in the middle of the bed.
