Holding my hand over his chest, he finally spoke. “I never wanted to be this person, Abigail. I was completely honest when I said I wasn’t meant for this. This was never something I wanted. But this is who I am now and that cannot change.” I followed his movements from side to side, our feet moving
ADONIS When I pulled away from the kiss, Abigail was panting. Her cheeks were bright red and her eyes were flickering with need. I would devour her tonight and she would thank me for it—that was what the look on her face said. She was on dangerous ground and she knew it, yet she didn’t back down.
“Do you have any fucking idea how much I want this?” I said in between the kiss. “Do you have any idea how much I want this?” she responded with a hum. She unbuttoned my suit and peeled it off my body, followed by the vest and then my white shirt. I stretched my arms and loosened my body to allow
She let out a desperate cry and ground herself against my chest. My skin heated. I gripped her hips and held her down to the mattress so she couldn’t move. “I’ve controlled myself for weeks. It’s your turn to practise patience.” She laughed, but paused as I descended further down her body. It had
BELLA Every nerve in my body tightened. There was a heavy feeling at the ridge of my heart under Adonis’s gaze that held so many emotions at once. I had only had glimpses of one emotion at a time in him, but he was chaos now. I wanted to laugh, cry, and yell, all at the same time. His chaos was suf
“Greedy,” he hissed. He lifted himself a little and his hooded eyes moved down to my sex. My gaze followed. He curled his fingers around his cock, and stroked it a few times while rubbing the tip along my slit. I moaned, the sound unrestrained and hoarse. A current spread up and down my stomach. I
ADONIS When I opened my eyes, my body went taut. Abigail wasn’t in bed. I looked around the room, only to find her at the edge of the bed with her arms holding her legs close to her chest, her body still naked. She had her face tilted to the side on her own shoulder. I remembered snuggling with h
“There are only a few circumstances in history where a consigliere has been named Capo. How did he think he could make it happen, especially with so many other Vitales out there?” “My uncle would’ve never named one of his cousin’s sons as an heir. Elias knew that and I was never a threat to him bec
“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
