“What did you just call me?” Sebastian asked from somewhere in
the office behind her.
Even though Mia wanted to rush into his arms again, she
refused to turn around. She never knew what to expect when in his company. He
always left her guessing everything from how she felt to what she wanted in the
future… and wanting more than what she was given. This had to stop. Crossing
her arms across her chest, she said, “You’re like a tornado to my emotions.
When you’re around me I get all tingly, but then reality sets in, changing my
feelings toward you into something else.” She felt him move behind her. “And
those feelings aren’t usually pleasant.” He turned her around. It took every
ounce of strength to avoid his gaze as she continued her explanation. “And then
you do something so damned irresistible—”
He put
his finger to her lips to quiet her words. “Well, this tornado loves you. What
will make you believe me?”
She let
out a breath as her gaze traveled up the smooth lines of his jaw, over his thin
lips, and locked onto his eyes. “Sebastian?” Mia’s heart raced with excitement.
To calm her pulse, she took a deep breath and slowly let it out before asking, “You
really love me?”

I used a writing prompt from Write at the Merge. The prompt was the phrase, "this tornado loves you. What will make you believe me?" and decided to write a new scene for the next book in my Mafia Hearts series. Interested in the series? Grab the first book here
