Chapter 49

The air within the confines of my office had turned a few degrees warmer since Dante had barged in to it. I could not tell if the heat was from the lack of air conditioning due to maintenance issues or if it was the sheer amount of warmth radiating from Dante himself.

His signature suit clung to his b*dy like a perfectly crafted, hand tailored, second skin that was made from the finest and most expensive quality materials and finishings. It was impeccable the difference a well made suit made on a man but having said that, I felt like Dante in all his physical glory, would make any piece of clothing look like a S*x icon.

“I could bet that you wouldn’t have asked for such careful reconsideration had the situation been the other way around.” He spat out and I smirked at him.

“And we both know how fond you are of striking bets.” His eyes darkened at my words.
