Hassan is really well-built, and the fear arises the moment I see him tearing open the condom package to put it on his erection. The smell of strawberries makes me crave a box of condensed milk.I run my tongue over my lips, wanting to put it in my mouth and test how far I can swallow. He smiles and shakes his head, and I’m sure he’s as impatient as I am at this moment.Hassan grabs my ankles and pushes them toward my butt, leaving me open and exposed to him. I smile as he approaches my knee and leaves a kiss there. I watch as he picks up one of the pillows, not understanding what he’s going to do.“Just to make you comfortable, now raise that sexy ass.” I do what he asks.Hassan begins to settle between my legs, but he doesn’t enter me. Instead, he lies down on top of my body and kisses me gently. I feel his respect as he touches me.He lifts my chin again and smiles at me.“You know, after tonight, our relatio
Carolina Alcântara Hassan presses his pelvis against my leg, and I can feel that he’s a very large man, which causes a sigh of surrender to escape me. I desire to feel this man inside me. Another moan slips out as I feel his beard graze my neck, trailing down to my chest. “Make me forget what haunts me…” I say, almost in tears. I open my eyes when Hassan stops kissing me, and those two onyx eyes of his, beginning to study me. “Don’t fire me tomorrow, okay?” I nod in agreement. Hassan pulls me closer to his body, wrapping one arm around my waist and using his other hand to support my thigh. We leave the kitchen and head upstairs to my room, amidst kisses and quiet moans. The sweet scent of my perfume fills the air, and I realize we’re inside my room. Hassan lets my body slip down his, gently holding my chin with his index finger, making me look into his eyes. “I’ll leave you in bed and be right back. Take this time to think about whether you really want this.” He looks int
Carolina Alcântara The atmosphere in the car is tense; I know if I had talked to Bruno on the plane, we would have had a massive fight. Thankfully, he went straight to Rio to stay with our children. I need to calm myself before Laís and Matheus get here. My daughter is sharp and will sense that something is wrong. No matter how much I remind myself that Bruno was drugged, I can’t close my eyes without seeing the scene of him screwing that girl. Years ago, I bought a house in Miami so we’d always have a place to stay when Laís came to spend half the year studying with her friend Helena. I bought it, so I wouldn’t have to stay in a hotel. Now, I’m in my bedroom, restless, feeling hot and as if something is missing. I can’t sleep. I glance at the empty side of the bed, the same spot that used to belong to my ex-muscle head. Another lonely tear rolls down my cheek as I feel the weight of his absence. I turn onto my back and slide into the middle of the bed, hoping that maybe my m
Madame Switzerland The car stops at the hotel entrance, and I step out, glancing around. Holding my purse tightly, I head toward the room where Bruno was staying. Being who we are makes it much easier to get the information or anything else we need. Entering unannounced is one of those privileges. I notice a few eyes lingering on me, and suspicion starts to creep in. Picking up my pace, I step into the elevator with a growing sense that something isn’t right. I place my hand inside my purse, gripping the small gun hidden within. As the doors open, I spot our security guard, and his face turns pale the moment he sees me. “What’s wrong, man? Did you think I’d abandoned my husband?” I ask, laughing. Hassan steps in front of me as I narrow my eyes at the guard, who swallows hard. He’s clearly realized that I’m not in the best mood. “Ma’am, I don’t think the boss is in his room.” I narrow my eyes at Hassan, finding it odd. The Arab, assigned to our security detail, isn’t one to
Alessa de LucaI play with the hair on his chest, waiting for him to speak. I know he handled everything as best as possible since we wouldn't put our daughter in danger, and having our daughter alongside the most powerful family today."Salim came here today," he says."I know, I also received a visit from Carolina and Laís. They wanted to know about Hope," I raised my head.I look at him, letting him see that I really am okay with the idea he had while trying to cheer up my husband, which today is the possible solution to the sheikh's empire."For now, our children will have this commitment, but Salim and Hassan agree that if Hope falls in love with someone else like Mahjub, they are free to live their lives," I smile at him."I always knew they would never force our children into a loveless marriage!" I say happily."Salim assured me that Hope will be able to make her own choices," I rest my head on his chest and make circles on our girl."Carol is worried, especially about her own
Alessa de LucaWe arrive at the luxurious building of my husband's small empire, a fuel business that supplies the entire west coast of our country. Now that we're living on the East Coast, there was a need to relocate the company headquarters to Washington, D.C.I enter the underground elevator and head up to the executive floor. He's probably got more papers in front of him than a stationery store. I gently rub my belly where Hope stirs and smile at my baby.It might seem crazy to tie the life of my unborn daughter to the future sheikh of Sudan, but I've discussed this with Mattia. My husband sees things the way Salim does.Mattia, a billionaire and influential man, has made me understand that arranged marriages with people who can ensure our daughter's safety is the right path. He had already thought about the possibility while in Kalil’s hands.His biggest concern is that he’s getting too old and might not be able to protect our daughter when he's my age, which will probably be wh
Alessa de LucaWe went through some really turbulent days right after we got home. I noticed that Mattia was becoming increasingly nervous each day because the paparazzi just wouldn’t leave us alone. They tried everything to get a picture of me with Ruslan by my side or attempting something. I was avoiding leaving the apartment, not because I felt ugly with the various bruises still marking my body, but because I was starting to feel the first signs of pregnancy. Every day brought something new, from nausea to fainting spells.I shared the experience of the pregnancy with Giulia, who was suffering as much as I was, even though now she only felt nauseous about everything and everyone. I saw that both Mattia and Erick didn't know what to do with the two of us anymore; we were becoming increasingly weakened by the nausea and vomiting.Because of this, only Mattia attended the press conference to talk about part of what happened to me in Egypt and Sudan. He tried his best not to mention
Mattia De LucaMy body yearned to be close to my wife, but I could see she was fragile, tired, and very weak—she needed care more than pleasure at that moment. I watched her body relax as I caressed her face, seeing her breathing steady until she fell asleep. I left a kiss on her lips and got out of bed.I put on the clothes I had been wearing and left the bedroom, heading towards the living room, where Salim was probably waiting. I glanced back at the bed where my wife was napping and breathed a sigh of relief, seeing her there, safe.I walked to where Salim and Laís were likely talking; the house felt somewhat calmer now, and I saw everyone smiling at me. But as I passed through the arches into the dining area, I sensed a tense atmosphere.Salim's worried look upon seeing me made me uneasy. He gestured towards a cushion on the side; I saw Laís sitting next to a man I didn't recognize, and the major who had disappeared with my wife and her doctor friend."Mattia, it was Kalil who too
Alessa de LucaInside me, the only feeling I have is gratitude.Gratitude to God for protecting me while I was in the hands of Kalil, who also safeguarded the tiny hope growing inside me.Gratitude to the sheik's family, who never gave up searching for me throughout the month I was missing. They took care of my husband, ensuring he didn’t succumb to despair from not knowing where I was or how I was doing.I am even grateful to Nubia and Miriam, who hid me as best they could from Kalil's wrath, preventing him from harming me.Now here I am with my husband, inhaling his delightful scent, while I was emitting an odor that made me nauseous. But I was happy, shedding the poor clothes from my body to show him what I had been hiding from everyone over the last month.Tears filled his eyes as he understood my stance. I step into the shower, and the best feeling in the world is the water cascading over my head, as if tons of dirt were washing down the drain.“I’m keeping a little mix of ours,
