The Mafia Bride (Katrina and Silas)

Chapter 12

Silas POV

A knock on the door jolted me back to reality and I pushed away from her.

What am I doing? I wondered as I tried to clear the sinful thoughts that filled my mind.

This was the first time I was losing control around a woman, and God would it be the last.

I looked at Katrina, who looked up at me through her lashes. Her lips were parted slightly as she breathed heavily, her chest heaving

She seemed to still be in a daze but I knew it was merely a matter of time before she regretted what just happened.

Just like I did.

I was waiting for the shock to wear off so she'd look at me with disgust, but it never came.

Another knock came on the door, followed by the voice of my second in command, Phillip, calling out to me.

I had been in here for longer than expected. It was normal he was concerned.

But he shouldn't be concerned about me, he was more concerned about what we w

we were supposed to do today.

That was Katrina started, raising her fingers to touch her swollen lips. It took everything in my control not to claim her lips once more, and I took a step back, looking away from her as a form of distraction "Look, it would be best if you forget what just happened." I said coldly, effortlessly slipping my mask back on.

I had learnt to wear a mask to prevent people from knowing my true feelings.

Letting them believe you were the ckld heartless monster they shouldn't mess with was worth it.

I had allowed myself a moment of weakness around her, and I had to ensure that wouldn't happen anymore.

Katrina's eyes widened slightly as she stared at me in shock. She didn't seem to understand what I was saying, and I couldn't blame her.

I wouldn't kiss anyone that way and expect them to just forget it But this one had to be done.

"What do you mean forget it?" She hissed, her eyes blazing in anger.
