I turned to them. Val nodded at Matteo. “For starters, she’s not married to Adonis. There is no documentation of it either. It’s right that no one can prove Alessia isn’t her daughter because her name’s on the birth certificate, but Adonis’s name isn’t there.” “It was a precaution taken to keep Ale
ADONIS I prepared all the takeouts on plates while glancing at Alessia, who strolled around the mansion, watching everything with great detail. Dom had locked the basement properly. I didn’t want my daughter going down there, seeing blood and the heavens knew what, and discovering how fucked up her
“I do.” And I was glad Bella was here with me to make sure I didn’t mess up. My gaze dropped to her luscious lips and before I even knew what was going on in my head, I leaned in and touched my lips to hers in an open-mouthed kiss. She let out a slight sound from the back of her throat that sounded
Bella didn’t look at me as she answered, “I don’t know. I guess I get sad whenever I miss my sister.” I related to her on a different level, because I loved my sister just as much as Bella loved hers. I loved her sister, too, and the thought of her death brought great pain, but that was all I felt
I neared them. “You want me to wake her up?” I didn’t want to do it. She looked so peaceful and serene. Bella chuckled, the sound echoing in my head. I missed it a lot. “No. Can you carry her to the room?” “What if she wakes up?” “She won’t. She’s a heavy sleeper.” I gulped and looked back at Al
ADONIS I pinned her against the wall the moment we entered my room and closed the door. She let out a shaky gasp, but didn’t push me back. The desire in her eyes explained why. She had been waiting to feel me against her just as much as I. I grabbed her waist and flipped her around to press her ba
I unzipped my pants and took them off with my briefs. My joyous smile remained on my lips as I ran the tip of my cock along her wet pussy and pushed it into her channel, tight from her orgasm. She let out a heavy breath. For a while, I didn’t move. I couldn’t. She was perfect, and I feared coming ri
“You’re the only real thing my sister had in her life and I feel like I’m betraying her by doing... this.” She let out a ragged breath. “What if Zia was still here? What would she have thought?” “What if?” I sighed. Walking back to the bed, I sat on the edge and closed my eyes. “Last night, I had a
“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
