The atmosphere in the living room was wound tight with tension, like a coiled spring ready to snap. The maids, all dressed in their pristine uniforms, were huddled together, their heads bowed low in deference. The only exception was Mrs. Ricci, who had the daunting task of serving lunch to everyone seated at the dining table - Killian, Seven, Serena, and Knox."Would you like some more wine, master?" Mrs. Ricci asked when she finished arranging everyone's plates with an assortment of delectable dishes."I am good," came Killian’s response."Me too," Seven said.Knox didn't say anything, his focus entirely on his meal. He picked up his cutlery and began eating with a grace that left Serena who had been watching, breathless. She marveled at how he managed to make something as simple as eating look so refined and enticing. Her heart fluttered wildly in her chest at the sight of him - his chiseled jaw working methodically as he chewed and swallowed each bite."Is everything alright, sis
The room was thick with tension as Knox's gaze bore into Serena.Was she okay? A bitter laugh threatened to escape Serena's lips at the absurdity of the question. She had just discovered that her husband not only had a mistress but was also betrothed to some princess. And all this information came from a maid who had breathed her last in front of her eyes. How could anyone be okay after that?Serena didn’t utter a word for over a minute. Her mind raced as she pieced together what the dying maid had probably revealed unintentionally. Someone wanted her dead and all signs pointed towards Knox’s women being involved somehow. The realization sent a chill down her spine and hardened her resolve.“I’m far from okay!” Serena finally responded. "I want out. I want a divorce.” She added, lifting her gaze to meet Knox's cold stare. She could see him stiffen at her words, but she continued undeterred. "I already had one cheating man in my life; I don't need another. I don’t need a se
Serena bowed her head and grasped her left chest. Her heart was aching so much that it seemed like it was being twisted into knots. She bit her lips to stop the sound that was about to leave her throat.Then she stood up abruptly. Her slender form was trembling as her hands shakily began to fumble with the zip of her blouse. The tears she had been striving so hard to keep back were now pouring freely from her eyes as she stared up at Knox in sorrow. "I don't want you to fuck someone else…" she choked out. "I'm your wife and you should only take any pleasure you seek from me alone."She tugged at her shirt, letting it fall and revealing the lush curves barely contained by the red lacy bra that was enticingly clinging to her full, ripe bosom. Knox's pupils dilated dangerously at the sight. The black pools of desire almost swallowing up the amber as a low, rumbling growl reverberated deep in his chest."Stop!" he grunted out, the deep timbre of his voice strained and rough like
Knox shook his head as if to clear the jumbled thoughts ringing through his mind like a discordant clamor. However, Serena was already inching closer. The tears continued to spill unheeded down her cheeks as she looked up at him with her expressive emerald eyes that shimmered like polished jade. "I don't want to go through that same pain and fear again," she whispered imploringly. "I just want to have a real, happy marriage with you...if you can give me that. I have no one left in this world, no family other than my father. And he…” She swallowed. “If you'll let me...you can be my family, Knox."Knox stared at her mutely, utterly speechless in the face of her vulnerability and the depth of the yearning, the need she was baring to him so openly and without shame. His heart twisted in his chest, aching to see the desperation swimming in her lovely eyes and the past trauma and hurt that still haunted her so deeply despite the brave face she put on.The only reason that bastard was
Knox kicked open the bedroom door with Serena still cradled in his arms and their lips locked in a hungry, passionate kiss. He stumbled inside, kicking the door shut behind them with a resounding thud that reverberated through the room. His soft, yet masculine hands roamed her body possessively as he walked them towards the bed, squeezing and kneading the soft curves that fit so perfectly against his hard planes. Serena stifled a yelp when she landed unceremoniously onto the plush mattress. She gazed up at the man who had just dumped her on the bed as if she weighed nothing. There was no preamble or gentleness in his eyes blazing with dark desire. She could see the battle raging within him as he fought with every fiber of his being to hold onto his tenuous control, to keep from giving in fully to the primal and cruel urges she had awakened within his very core. His muscles were rigid, his hands fisting in the rumpled bedsheets as he visibly strained against the force of his
Serena felt pleased to have such an effect on him. She was on a mission to prove to this man that she wasn’t some inexperienced woman or someone without high standards. She wasn’t going to be that female who trusted blindly and forgave way too easily. It was either he gave himself fully to her—body and soul or she would make sure to walk out of this marriage either dead or alive. There wasn’t going to be any compromise in between!!Serena seductively tugged at the band of his white briefs and elegantly pulled it down to hang with his slacks. However, her mouth gasped open and her eyes went wide when she finally got an unobstructed view of his impressive length. ‘Did it somehow grow in size?’ She felt a shiver of trepidation mixed with burning desire race through her. It was massive! Bigger than anything she had ever seen or imagined before. It was thick and veined, the flushed head flared in a way that looked so dreadful and promised destruction. For a moment, Serena wonder
"I want you inside me!" Serena's rasped voice was low and throaty with naked need. "I need to feel you, all of you, buried deep. Stretching me...filling me...claiming me as your wife!!"She leaned forward to trail her tongue along the taut cords of his neck, nipping at the sharp line of his jaw as she pressed her breasts against his chest. Serena could feel the frantic pounding of his heart mingled with the delicious taste on her lips and tongue. "Are you going to give me what I want?" she demanded in a breathy whisper against the shell of his ear. "Are you going to take me or let someone else do your job?"Knox let out a guttural growl at her heated words. The sound was possessive. It seemed to rise from the depths of his very being. His teeth ground together so tightly that the grating sound it produced rang in Serena’s ears. He was clearly displeased with her statement. Serena’s lips parted to let words out—words to either placate or further drive him to the edge. However
Serena’s eyes went wide with embarrassment when Knox nuzzled against her mound and inhaling deeply. “Knox. I…its—” Serena trailed off as his stubble beard scratched deliciously against her sensitive flesh, only amplifying the sensations.“Relax for me…!” Knox drawled and then dragged in a long air of her scent. ‘Fuck!’ He groaned at how delicious she smelled, his hot breath fanning over her glistening folds. Serena held a shuddering breath when his head dipped even lower, eagerly anticipating the warm feel of his tongue. Knox breathed heavily, savouring the refreshing scent that was exclusively hers. Then his mouth was on her the next second. His tongue swept one long and deep stroke through her drenched folds. “Oh, Good Lord…!” Serena cried out at the exquisite sensation. Her hands shot forward to tangle her fingers in his hair and hold him in place as he continued to lap at her slick flesh. Sparks of pleasure danced across her nerve endings with every swipe of tha
