202 Chapter 86 - Gabriella (3)

I squeal and jump onto him, looping my arms around his neck and squeezing him tight. "Thank you! You're the best!"

He chuckles, catching me by the waist. "Anything for you, sweetheart."

Leaning up, I graze my lips on the shell of his ear and whisper in a low and raspy tone, "Later, I'll Do ANYTHING for you," that makes him hum in appreciation, his fingers digging into my skin.

Mariano looks at me with those half-lidded, smoldering eyes. He leans down until our lips are a hair's breadth away. "Oh, you're gonna be in trouble."

We're about to kiss when Maria, one of my bottle girls, calls me from behind. "Excuse me, Gabby? We're ready for you."

He shoots her with a silent but deadly stare, and then his lips find mine. I hear Maria gasp and scurry away behind me. He kisses me fiercely as if he's sucking the life out of me and I'm letting him.

I laugh, smacking his chest weakly. "This is why they say you're scary behind your back."
