The Mafia’s Substitute Bride

The entire world seemed to fade away as Leonardo’s lips met Sofia’s in a passionate embrace. The force of his kiss sent her head spinning, her senses reeling with a dizzying mix of desire and disbelief. It was a soul-snatching kiss, one that left her breathless and wanting more.

Amidst the chaos of the cheering crowd, Sofia’s mind struggled to regain its composure. The electrifying intensity of Leonardo’s display captivated everyone around them, turning their shared moment into a spectacle. But Sofia, lost in the whirlwind of emotions, barely noticed the uproar surrounding them.

After the commotion settled, Leonardo took the opportunity to explain himself to Sofia. He recounted the incident with Diana at the mall, as well as Evelyn’s deceptive ploy in the room. Though he didn’t owe her an explanation, he chose to offer one, touching the deepest recesses of Sofia’s heart.

“And you have reminded me that I have to punish you for running away when you saw me with another girl,” Leonardo’s words sent shockwaves through Sofia’s being, her eyes widening in disbelief. The gravity of his statement weighed heavily upon her, filling her with a genuine fear. She knew all too well the severity of punishment, having witnessed her father’s brutal treatment of her mother.

But then, as if sensing her trepidation, Leonardo leaned in close, his lips hovering near her ear. His voice, deep and husky, brushed against her skin, sending shivers down her spine and stealing her breath away.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Be ready for your punishment, baby girl,” he whispered, the words laced with an intoxicating mix of danger and seduction.

Sofia’s breath hitched in her throat, her heart pounding in her chest like a wild stallion. The fear that had gripped her began to mingle with an undeniable arousal. It was a dangerous combination, one that both terrified and excited her.

“Are you… are you really going to punish me?” she managed to stammer out, her voice trembling with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety.

Leonardo’s cold, grey eyes softened, a mischievous smile playing at the corners of his lips. He reached out and gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind Sofia’s ear, his touch both tender and possessive.

“Don’t worry, baby girl,” he assured her, his voice filled with a hint of reassurance. “You are going to love your punishment. I promise.”

Sofia’s mind reeled at his words, grappling with the conflicting emotions coursing through her veins. She should have been frightened, wary of what awaited her, but instead, a surge of desire surged within her.

As the crowd erupted into cheers, their anticipation filled the air like an electric charge. The atmosphere was thick with excitement as Leonardo glanced over the sea of enthusiastic faces, his charming smile captivating every gaze that met his. With Sofia by his side, he felt invincible.

Sofia, however, was overcome with a sudden rush of panic. She tightened her grip on Leonardo’s hand, trying to halt their progress toward the beckoning dance floor. Her heart pounded in her chest as she stammered, “I don’t dance. I mean… I can’t.”

Leo turned his gaze towards her, his eyes intense and brimming with reassurance. With a gentle squeeze of her hand, he uttered, “Don’t worry, angel, you just have to follow my steps. I will guide you, but I want to dance with you today.”

Her fears began to wane as she looked into his captivating eyes. With a flutter of butterflies in her stomach, she let him take the lead. They gracefully glided toward the center of the dance floor, surrounded by a symphony of rhythmic movements and swaying bodies.

The pulsating beat of the music permeated the atmosphere, urging everyone to surrender to its infectious rhythm. Sofia’s gaze wandered around, taking in the sight of people effortlessly twirling and swaying in perfect harmony. Doubts resurfaced within her, fearing that she would stumble and embarrass herself.

Yet, Leonardo remained unfazed by the eyes that lingered on them. His unwavering focus was solely on Sofia, his desire to dance with her radiating from his every pore. With a subtle yet possessive curl of his hand around her waist, he drew her closer, erasing any doubts that lingered.

With a gentle touch, Leonardo guided Sofia’s hand to rest delicately on his shoulder. As his fingers traced a slow, tantalizing path down her arm, goosebumps erupted upon her soft skin as if responding to his every touch. Finally, his hands found their place, resting firmly on her hips, creating a connection that transcended the physical realm.

The world around them seemed to fade into the background as they moved as one, synchronized with the melody of the music. Sofia began to trust in Leonardo’s guidance, allowing herself to be swept away by the current of their shared dance. With each step, she discovered a newfound confidence, her body responding to his lead as if it were second nature.

Leonardo held Sofia firmly in his arms, their bodies swaying in perfect harmony. With each step, she tried to match his movements, their connection growing stronger. As he twirled her around, Sofia found herself pressed against his solid chest, his arms wrapped possessively around her delicate frame.

In that intimate embrace, she could feel his hard bulge pressing against her butt. He was painfully hard, rubbing himself on her and igniting a fire within her. Leonardo leaned in, his lips grazing her bare shoulder, leaving a trail of wet kisses. His chin rested there, his warm breath tickling her skin as he whispered in a low, sensual voice.

“Baby girl, today I want to show you my other side. Tell me you won’t be scared.”

Her heart raced in anticipation, longing to say ‘yes,’ but the words remained trapped in her throat. Leonardo pressed his pointed nose along the curve of her neck, slowly tracing its path upward until he reached the sensitive spot just behind her ear. With a gentle bite on her earlobe, pleasure surged through her body, leaving her trembling and dripping with desire. His lips then pressed against that tender spot, sealing the moment with a lingering kiss.

“Tell me, angel,” His voice, now laced with desire and husky with need, sent shivers down her spine. Sofia couldn’t help but bite her lip shyly, her eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of apprehension. She slowly moaned, nodding subtly, giving her consent.

“Fu. ck,” he whispered under his breath, the word escaping in a mix of frustration and arousal. Sofia felt his breathing quicken as he rested his head on her shoulder, their connection intensifying with each passing second.

After a few seconds of dancing, Leonardo leaned in close to Sofia, his voice a low, seductive whisper in her ear. “Babe, I can’t wait to take you to our bed,” he murmured. He took a deep breath, his body stilling as he stopped dancing.

“Let’s leave,” he declared, gripping Sofia’s hand firmly and leading her toward the exit. The clamor of voices calling his name and uttering various exclamations washed over them, but Leonardo paid them no heed. He didn’t bother to say goodbye or acknowledge anyone as he guided Sofia through the crowd. Mark and the other bodyguards stationed outside the venue trailed behind them, their eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Once inside the sleek black car, Leonardo wasted no time. He immediately instructed the driver to speed towards their hotel. If Sofia had any lingering doubts or uncertainties before, they were all swept away by his unmistakable impatience. She could feel his intense gaze upon her, his eyes burning with desire. With her hand in his, he caressed his thumb gently along the back of her palm, sending shivers down her spine. His chest rose and fell rapidly as he fought to control himself.

Sofia’s breathing grew ragged as Leonardo surprised her by taking her finger into his mouth, sucking on it sensually. He repeated the gesture with each of her fingers, one by one, igniting a stirring deep within her core. She clenched her thighs tightly, trying to contain the overwhelming sensations coursing through her.

Abruptly, the car screeched to a halt, and Leonardo wasted no time in yanking the door open. He didn’t even wait for Mark to come around and open it for him. With a fervent urgency, he practically dragged Sofia out of the car. She had to quicken her pace, practically running to match his long strides that contrasted starkly with her own short steps.

As Leonardo and Sofia stepped into the elevator, the doors slid shut behind them, enclosing them in a small, private space. Without hesitation, Leonardo swiftly pressed the button for their desired floor, a determined glint in his eyes. Sofia felt a sudden force against her back as he pushed her gently, yet firmly, towards the cool surface of the elevator wall.

His hands came to rest on either side of her head, trapping her within his powerful grasp. She could feel the warmth emanating from his palms as his touch sent shivers down her spine. Tilting his head down, Leonardo’s lips descended upon hers with a fervor she had never experienced before. Gone were the tender and gentle kisses they had shared in the past. This time, his kiss was laden with a sense of urgency and hunger, as though he yearned to consume her entirely.

Sofia’s legs trembled beneath her as the intensity of the moment overwhelmed her senses. Clutching onto Leonardo’s broad shoulders for support, she held on tightly, desperate to steady herself. His sturdy frame offered her a lifeline, allowing her to remain upright amidst the swirling whirlwind of emotions.

Just as the elevator came to a halt, Leonardo abruptly broke the passionate connection between their lips. With a swift movement, he effortlessly scooped Sofia up into his arms, relieving her of the burden of standing. Grateful for his strength, she nestled against his chest, feeling a sense of security wash over her.

Balancing her weight effortlessly, Leonardo reached into his pocket, retrieving the keycard necessary to grant them access to their destination. With a swift motion, he swiped the card, and the door swung open, revealing their private sanctuary. Refusing to let Sofia’s feet touch the ground, Leonardo skillfully navigated the room, using his foot to shut the door behind them.

Their destination was clear, as his purposeful strides carried them towards the bedroom. Gently depositing Sofia onto her feet, Leonardo’s gaze bore into her with an intensity that sent shivers down her spine. The room seemed to darken as his eyes traveled the length of her body, taking in every curve and contour.

A moment of anticipation hung in the air as Leonardo’s voice, laced with desire and a hint of command, broke the silence. “Are you ready, baby girl, for your punishment?”
