Chapter 18

Eleanor's POV

I moaned as his hands found my throat, clasping it. He was always so rough and I relished it. He held me by my throat, squeezing slightly as he quickened his thrusting, making me whimper. He pounded me relentlessly as I moaned loudly.

I hoped at the back of my mind that the driver did not lose focus. I didn’t want him running us into another car because of it.

Enzo kept fucking me until he finally came and splattered my insides with his load. He kissed my forehead.

We looked at ourselves and smiled satisfactorily.

For the rest of the ride, we cuddled up on each other.

Soon, we reached our destination and got on the yacht. Enzo and I tried to act normal as though nothing happened inside the car, but they all knew and gave us that funny look.

“I’ll be riding with her when we’re heading back.” Alessio said and the others laughed.

The yacht was very beautiful to behold as we went up, I looked at the beautiful pleasure ship, a glistening white yacht on the sparkling and shimmering sea. The sun was dipping below the horizon making the water shine like that. Soon, we were at the top.

After the whole beautiful sight of the sea and taking me around the ship, I was finally taken to the bedroom we would stay in on board. It was beautifully decorated in rich warm browns and sparkling whites and creams with accents of gold.

There was a small bar right there in the bedroom. Marco tossed his backpack off to the side of the bed and continued carrying me around like I was a princess. He showed me the master bathroom with its huge tub and shower, the indoor pool, the hot tub, the kitchen, the living room, the dining room, the theatre and the library. There were other bedrooms and bathrooms but we did not tour all of those.

It turned out the ship was quite bigger than I thought it was.

I was asked to prepare dinner. I had to shower again. I had sex with Enzo and I had to freshen up. Enzo did too, but in a different bathroom.

When I was done, I wore my shimmery white gown with a high slit and a fitted jewelled bodice. I left my curls down as usual and did my makeup carefully with winged eyeliner and a nude rose coloured lipstick. I put on heels. I was strangely nervous for some reason.

My pulse was racing and I kept fidgeting even though it was a pretty comfortable dress. I met the quadruplets out on the deck. There were fairy lights twinkling everywhere and a table set for four with a violin quartet nearby playing music. The moon was overhead with her stars. They all shone on the calm sea. The quadruplets all looked so dashingly handsome in their suits.

They grinned when they saw me but they seemed nervous too. I went up to them and stood on tip-toe to kiss each of them. Enzo’s kiss was surprisingly sweet and tender. Marco shocked me by kissing me so passionately and leaving me breathless. Alessio’s kiss was long and lingering and Luca’s kiss had to be the most memorable of the night.

After that, they led me over to my chair and they all took their seats.

The food really was good but I could hardly eat any of it. I kept waiting for something to happen. I realised my anxiety could be me picking up on my mates’ feelings. Maybe they were anxious about something.

The men were awfully quiet this time. Normally, one thing always led to another for them to begin talking and laughing loudly, but they were just quiet and this was what freaked me out the most.

Suddenly, Enzo called me, looking at me, his blue eyes wide and sparkling in the moonlight. He took a deep breath.

The others were just so anxious, I could see it in their body languages. I had never seen the cool as cucumber quadruplets look so nervous, almost fearful. I waited with bated breath for whatever this big announcement was.

I looked at Enzo as I anticipated what he had to say. “We love you, and we want to spend the rest of our lives with you,” Enzo said to me.

The others were on the affirmative side, nodding their heads to whatever he said.

“We don’t ever want you to leave our side,” Alessio said, his voice shaking. This had to be the first time he flinched while talking. He is always so confident and loud.

“We’ve always dreamed of finding our mate and we were thrilled when we found out it was you,” said Marco sweetly.

“Take our word for it, you are the best there is.” Luca added.

“Will you stay with us?” They asked softly “And make us the happiest quadruplets in the world?”

Luca then brought out a violet box and opened it to reveal a four-stone diamond ring.

Luca got up and came closer, getting down on one knee in front of me, holding up the rind. Alessio, Enzo and Marco also came to either side of the eldest alpha and got down on one knee. It was so cute!

They looked adorable and really wide-eyed and a bit frightened. There was a tiny nasty part of me that saw this as the best opportunity thus far to crush them. To rip their hearts out and stamp on them. I buried that part of me. The truth was I wanted to be with them. I wanted to be happy. I deserved it.

On closer inspection of the ring, all four stones were identical, fitting. They were white diamonds and the band was white gold.

I was so excited. I had dreamed of this moment a thousand times, but I was too afraid to ask. I did not know that they desired me the same way I desired them.

I held out my hand waiting for Alessio to put on the ring. There was a long silence before I realised I had not said yes yet and the quadruplets were exchanging worried glances from down on their knees.

“You haven’t said the word yet.” Enzo said.
