BELLA One week. That was how long it had been since the attack. That was also how long I had kept away from Adonis. Good, that he couldn’t do anything about it. Bedridden and all. I had tried to keep the texting to the minimum as well, but it was hard to do with his name popping up on my cell ever
There wasn’t much furniture around, which made the room look even bigger. I walked toward the recliner near the window and stared at the magazines lying on the stool. They were all business magazines, different publishers, but with the same man on the cover. An old man with a tall and broad frame, w
ADONIS I couldn’t admit out loud all the things I wanted to do to her. I had seen her hesitation in her eyes. Sure, she had been shaky around me before, but that seemed to have magnified since the attack. She was holding back, even after my efforts. I looked at the wall clock, impatient for Abigai
“I’m not yours, Adonis,” she said, trying to pull away from my hold on her waist, but I tightened my grip. I jerked her against my body and said, “Maybe not yet, but I can make you if I want.” I let go of her and stepped back into the kitchen. “Are we celebrating something today?” She walked aroun
“Why don’t you paint?” “Lack of inspiration. My head’s always filled with blood and gore and screams and dead bodies. After seeing all the red I do, I don’t really get the urge to look at paints anymore. You get the idea.” “Sounds horrible.” Keeping her lips pressed to the glass, she spoke. “You k
BELLA I returned to the kitchen after my brief call with Cole. Thanks to him, he’d stopped me from committing a huge mistake. My woman, Adonis had said, and it shouldn’t have felt half as good as it had. It had been even more wrong for my insides to curl at the possessiveness oozing from those two
He cupped my head with one hand and the other he looped around my waist. He might’ve felt I was struggling to stand. I moaned lightly against his lips and he pulled back. Our gazes locked. His eyes were dark, darker than the times he held onto his anger, than the time he chopped that man’s fingers.
“I never beg,” I said with pride. He was too eager to get what he wanted. “You will. And,” he made a long flick with his finger, carrying the wetness up to my clitoris, “you’ll be screaming for more.” I whimpered with irrefutable hunger. He drew circles on my clit, taking all the time of the day.
“I should’ve killed that kid when I caught hold of Durant. That fucking bastard! Even his son isn’t any less,” Julian groaned. “He’s just a kid,” I murmured under my breath. That was what I believed. Aleksandr was a kid whose father had done terrible things and got taken away from him. He could no
BELLA Checking up on Fabi and Mamma one last time, I headed downstairs. The events had shaken everyone today. I knew I had nothing to reassure them with, not until Adonis and Matteo were back. Dante and Julian, the enforcer, were on the couch, faces smeared with tension. Julian’s phone buzzed, and
“Bombs,” someone yelled out. We lowered ourselves under the table while Adonis and his men pulled their guns out. Many men and women rushed toward the exit, trying to save their lives. I pulled Alessia closer to me and Mamma let out a heavy gasp and peeked her head out from under the table. “Don’t
“He had huge muscles and there were tattoos on his hands.” He pointed at the back of his hand. “He looked scary.” I couldn’t help but laugh at the look on his face. So pure and innocent. “You have nothing to fear,” I assured him and he stepped out of the room. “You’re the new bride.” “I am.” Ther
BELLA The outdoor reception was Ros’s idea. She loved the sight of string lights and candles, decorating almost every part of the bamboo ceiling and poles, giving the venue a light yellow touch amidst all the whites and blues. The only part I hated was that she wasn’t here to bear through the eveni
“You taste,” I scraped my teeth just below her clit and she moaned loudly, “so fucking delicious.”***BELLAOh, God! This was too much. I was riding his face, desperate to match the movements of his tongue. I wanted to hide my face in a blanket, worried about how this overwhelming need looked on me
“So hot.”There was a mix of lust, hunger and desperation in her eyes that sent blood rushing all the way to my cock strained against the harsh materials of my briefs. I pushed my hand underneath the waistband of her panties, down the mound of her sex covered in a small scruff and held her in a tigh
ADONISHelena made her way to her daughter, pulled her aside and said something to her, which made both of them laugh. They exchanged a hug and then Bella’s eyes were on me. She gave a little jerk, asking me why I was looking at her. Only if I could tell her why. She was the most beautiful woman to
I released her hand, cupped her cheeks and pressed my lips on hers, making sure everyone saw who she belonged to, who had her for the life ahead, and who would protect her if they ever thought of hurting her. I would always be there with her. As her husband. As her protector. As everything she dese
