Their deep voices sent a chill down the spines of everyone who heard it was so deeply poignant and moving that even the most powerful of men acknowledged their insignificance when faced with the omnipotent presence of God.‘In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Amen’They said together as the prayer came to an end and the Consultant removed the life support tube from Tash’s throat, the whole world seemed to stop as everyone waited.‘Breathe’Romero prayed silently,‘Breathe’Luca begged in his head and after what seemed like an eternity to both men God finally answered their prayers, Tash shuddered and took a deep breath then continued to breathe on her own. The Priest stepped back from the bed and the Consultant looked across at Romero‘Well Sir, it would seem your young lady is not quite ready to leave you just yet. She’s a lot stronger than we all thought.’They fitted a feeding tube and left in a cannula to provide Tash with fluids, it was the most basic of care but she
She managed softly frowning at him and he rewarded her with his gorgeous sexy smile,‘I thought I’d lost you, baby girl.’He kissed her again and she smiled up at him,‘No, you will never lose me.’She said her eyes drooping and he stroked a finger along her bottom lip,‘Rest now beautiful, I’ll be here when you wake up again.’She drifted back to sleep and he stood up turning to find Kelly and Luca crying in each other arms,‘Go home, let them all know the good news, and in the morning send Franco back with the children.’ Romero did not leave her, he was so scared of losing her again that he could not bear to let her out of his sight, she would open her eyes and smile at him.‘Hello again’He grinned at her,‘I’m not leaving you alone’He told her,‘When I leave you alone you get into far to much trouble so from now on you are staying by my side.’She reached up her hand and stroked his face,‘I love you.’She whispered resting her cheek into his palm, she could only stay
Almost leaping out of his arms she ran into Marianne and John-Joe's eager hugs,‘You stayed, you stayed’She cried happily before turning to Kelly and Luigi,‘OMG, this is going to be the best Christmas ever.’She was laughing and crying and hugging them until Romero stepped in and scooped her up again,‘That’s enough baby girl, you still need to rest. Come on, we’ll see these guys at dinner tonight.’He carried her up to their room ignoring her pleas to stay a little longer and placed her on their bed,‘Rest’He commanded and chuckled when she pouted at him,‘You are lucky you just got out of the hospital or I would put you across my knee for that.’She looked up at him through her golden lashes then bit her bottom lip teasingly,‘Oh, I don’t think you should be making promises you can’t keep Romero, hospital or no hospital.’Tash squealed in alarm as he crawled up the bed over her body his eyes locked onto hers,‘I always keep my promises.’He growled and kissed her hungrily,‘Now g
He whispered to the older man,‘Let her stay with my Marianne, she’s a strong girl, she won’t be a victim, I promise she just needs a little time.’He gave her the space to recover but the nightmares did not stop they got worse and everyone's sleep was broken when her screaming started. It was exhausting for all his staff, the servants were tired before they started work and his Capos could barely concentrate, the only ones who slept through it were the children. Thankfully, all the children slept through peacefully undisturbed and carried on their days without a care playing nosily in the park he had created for them to enjoy in safety. Christmas was a subdued affair, they all put on a front for the children and the house looked like Santa’s workshop they had so many gifts but the adults were tired and their tempers frayed a little at times. It wasn’t what any of them had wanted and it was Kelly who approached him on the second of January, they were all beyond tired with huge gray
It also meant she was not seeing her children again, after all the problems she had struggled past she had built a wonderful relationship with them. She loved them and was fiercely protective spending all her free time playing with them. She taught the boys to swim and then bought ponies so she could take them out riding with her. She had worked hard to become a good Mama and in return her children adored her because she was not afraid to get down to their level and play. It seemed that Romero had ripped that all away from her again but when she returned from riding out with the ranch's cowboys she had come to a decision.‘I’m not going to let him do that to me again.’She said determinedly her emerald eyes flashing,‘If he doesn’t want me, well that’s up to him but he is not keeping my children this time. I have done nothing wrong and I am their Mother.’Marianne tried to intervene,‘Tash doesn’t do anything you might regret, you don’t know why Romero hasn’t come to the ranch, he may
Romero was on his feet,‘Nothing, nothing is more important than her, she knows that she knows she is my life, I love her so much.’‘Do you?’John-Joe countered,‘Then why have you ignored her for six months? Why have you kept her away from her children, again? That’s not how you treat someone you love Romero especially someone as fragile as Natasha, after all she has been through for you.’Romero, Franco, and Luca stared at the old man before he could tell them more one of the Capos came running into the office dragging the Nanny with him, Danilo and Reuben had taken the children, and she was dumped a couple of miles away.’He indicated the Nanny was crying,‘What the fuck?’Romero grabbed her and shook her,‘Tell me exactly what happened,‘She started to cry harder and Franco peeled his hands off the terrified girl,‘It’s okay, Louisa, we know it’s not your fault, please take a breath and try to explain.’She looked at the second and then at Romero,‘We were at the park, we go most
They settled into a routine, the children had their private tutor and a huge castle as their playground instead of Capos they had servants and it was only a matter of weeks until their American accents were replaced by the cut glass accents of the Royal family. Lady Natasha became a recluse, she caught up with everything that was required of her regarding the castle and then just stopped. They would find her sitting in the library an open book untouched on her knee gazing outside at nothing, she never smiled and rarely spoke to anyone it was clear she was suffering. Her eyes were red-rimmed and her skin was grey, she did not eat much and she never went outside. Danilo and Reuben were worried she was fading away before their eyes and they could not understand why Romero did not come for her and their children,‘What is fucking wrong with him?’Reuben exploded as they watched Lady Natasha drift from one room to another like a little lost soul.Romero did not come for her because he had
Slipping into the cubicle she hitched up her dress and removed her sodden panties, leaning against the door she gave herself the relief she craved coming hard against her fingers. Half an hour later she opened the door and rejoined the royal party cool and composed with not a hair out of place she made her way to the Royal Couple and made her excuses relieved when they gave her their permission to leave early. She allowed the footman to show her out to her car just as Havard came back into the room and spotted her. Getting into the chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce she told him to leave immediately and there was nothing Harvard could do as the car slid silently away into the night.‘You can run little English Rose but tomorrow I will take what is mine.’This is what Romero saw as the handsome Norwegian Prince helped the beautiful English Duchess into the royal carriage and then climbed in to sit beside her. The British crowds cheered as the carriages passed them and Romero flipped open his
Lifting his head he locked his eyes onto hers, ‘No, Tash, no, you are wrong, you are the most important thing in my life, you are the very air I breathe. Baby girl you are my everything. I love you with every cell in my body.’ He kissed her again more savagely pressing her to him determined to break the ice she had built around her heart and she could feel his arousal. She wanted to give in to him, her body screamed for him to ravish her right there in front of his Capos she did not care but she pushed him away, ‘How many times have you said that to me Romero and how many times have you broken my heart?’ He growled then did what her body had been craving he picked her up and slung her over his shoulder taking the stairs two at a time he demanded, ‘Your bedroom’ With a squeak of alarm, she pointed and he pushed open the door and tossed her onto the huge four-poster bed then slammed and locked her door. Leaning against it he growled again, ‘Take off your clothes’ He ordered and s
He hiked up her skirt and pushed her legs apart,‘Good girl’He said and thrust his hard cock into her, Tash cried out, she was so wet and aroused she almost came as he thrust harder slamming into her so deeply he hit her g-spot and she shattered around him squeezing him until he followed her into orgasm. He picked her up and carried her over to the bed tugging off her dress he lay her down and trailed kisses down her body. He moved over her breasts and down her belly spreading her legs he licked and sucked and nipped and bit until she was writhing beneath him.‘Please, oh God please,’She begged as he raked his teeth over her clit,‘Do you want to come little Duchess?’He teased as she arched her back and gripped his biceps,‘Yes, please yes yes’She bucked and raked her nails down his back,‘Come for me now Natasha’Her scream of pleasure could be heard by his guards and they smiled at one another, they had been under no illusions as to why the hot little Duchess had turned up at th
