Read Along Chapter 10-12
Favorite quotes:
I
rush to him as soon as I see him, slamming my lips over his. I know I need to
start detaching myself from him in order to keep him safe from my past, but I
need something more than that. I need his strength, his constancy. I need to be
with someone who doesn’t know anything about my past and thinks I had a normal
childhood. I need him.

Dressed
in a black pin-striped three-piece suit and a white shirt, his dark green tie
matching his eyes, Davison is sitting in his black leather desk chair, leaning
back into the headrest. I can tell his legs are crossed, his hands casually
lying on the armrests of the chair. The power he exudes, the way he smolders at
me makes me so damn wet, heightened by the sight of the sly grin on his lips.
I’m breathless at the sight of him. My heart pounds against my chest, seeing a
man of such magnetism and confidence. He can overwhelm me so easily, but I’m no
longer frightened by him. He arouses me to the point where I cannot help
myself, like a vulnerable moth to a burning flame.
Chapters 10-12
Allegra goes to see
Detective Dermot Leary at her local police precinct. He was the lead detective
of her mother’s murder 19 years ago when she was five years old. She shows him
the anonymous note she received and he tells her about the sex-trafficking ring
he’s investigating because there might be ties to Naples (where her mother was
from in Italy) and the man who killed her, Carlo Morandi, who died that night
as well. Leary tells her to be careful when she’s in public and to tell him if
anything odd happens to her again. That night she has another dream about her
mother and the night she was killed.
When she sees
Davison the next time at his apartment, she throws herself at him, desperate to
be connected to him. He carries her to his bedroom and have sex. She tells him
about the engagement ring that Ashton told her about, and he says that the only
way she’d know about it was if she was snooping through his desk because he
didn’t but it for her-it belonged to his grandmother.
Allegra’s father
shows her a note that he received from someone saying “I KNOW WHO SHE IS.” They
agree to see Leary together.
Allegra surprises
Davison at his office at Berkeley Holdings dressed in a suit and they engage in
role play. They have hot sex twice.
Davison and Allegra
go out for dinner. They’re assaulted by the paparazzi when they leave and
Allegra shuts down because of what she lived through in her past. Davison
rushes her back to his place and takes care of her. But she won’t tell him why
she freaked out. The next morning, Davison’s mother, Mona, shows up at his
place to make sure they’re both ok. She invites them both to dinner next week
at his parents’ house on the East Side.
About Breathless For Him:
For fans of New York
Times bestselling authors Samantha Young, Sylvia Day, and E. L. James comes the
stunning, erotically charged story about a woman who's not looking for love and
the tempting billionaire who left her breathless . . .
As a gifted opera singer, Allegra Orsini's only obsession is
music-until she meets him. A strikingly handsome and powerful man with a life
splashed across the tabloids, Davison Cabot Berkeley isn't what she expected.
He's unlike the other wealthy patrons who dine at Le Bistro. Davison sees more
than just a coat-check girl working her way through grad school. And from the
moment he looks at her, those deep green eyes ignite a fire inside Allegra
she's never felt before.
She craves Davison's touch-his possession-endlessly. Even
though every fiber of her being is telling her to stay away, that it's best for
both of them, she can't. As his passion consumes her, Allegra can no longer
deny Davison's hold on her. He'll never let her go. But as much as she wants
him, Allegra can't surrender to his love-not until she faces a painful secret
from her past that could destroy them both . .

sex! She has an MFA in creative writing from Adelphi University. Sofia has
