MATTEO POVDeirdre was alive; that was all that mattered. Growing up, I vowed to keep my family away from my business and all that I did. Despite joining the gang because of them, shielding them was my responsibility.I took a liking to Deirdre not just for a child because it was never part of the agreement but for her connection to the Giussepe clan.Promising to ruin them for generations, a child between us, didn't change my feelings; I still aimed to destroy the clan through her.While instilling the same thoughts in Kendall seemed harsh, I could endure it until the last of them were down.Besides, what I had said on the ship was out of desperation; I thought I'd die, freeing her being the least I could do.Plus, I believed that the bastard that had caused the damage to the ship wasn't dead as well.After engaging in a scuffle with Javier, he caught me off guard by mentioning Kendall's name and how he planned to rip her from limb to limb.He fucking escaped from my grip, and that w
DIERDRE"Stay close, darling," Matteo whispered intermittently. We had been walking for the past ten minutes, and I couldn't help but wonder where exactly we were going.Though we were supposed to meet up with the other survivors, we had been walking in the forest, and nothing was in sight."You should tread carefully; we saw some poisonous snakes and spiders a while ago," Larry, the man leading us to the survival site, said."Spider?" I choked on my breath, glancing at Matteo and then Vittorio. Neither looked fazed. It must have been something they faced often, but it wasn't for me, and I was scared shitless."Did anyone get bitten?" I asked."Not that I am aware of, but we are taking precautions," he replied, and I nodded."Any medical setup? I mean, is there any doctor available?" If someone happens to get bitten, there should be emergency treatment available."Not that I am aware of," Larry repeated, making me groan.Without immediate treatment, the possibility of people dying wou
DEIRDREI lingered by the bathroom door, leaving only when I heard the sound of the door opening and closing, indicating that Matteo had likely exited the room.Taking a deep breath, I peeled off Matteo's shirt, now clinging to my body like a second skin, and headed for the shower. Turning it on, I tested the water, feeling it splatter on my feet before stepping in.As the warm water cascaded over my skin, Matteo's thoughts invaded my senses. I ran my hands through my hair, closing my eyes as my imagination ran wild. I resisted, but my desires took over.For three years after leaving Matteo, I had tried not to think about my desires for him, but it was impossible. Thoughts of him lingered, driving away any other men who came into my life. No one compared to him.Allowing my fingers to glide slowly down my body, I sighed, leaning against the shower wall. I couldn't recall the last time I had touched myself. Since having Kendall, I had convinced myself my libido was dead, but I knew bet
DEIRDRE"You know, that guy over there is the real deal." Leslie groaned, leaning into me.I turned to look at who she was referring to, and my eyes locked on Matteo.He was sitting with Vittorio; both had a plate of porridge in front of them.It wasn't the porridge that was making Leslie and other women around ogling him; it was the manner at which he was eating and swallowing each bite.After scooping the porridge, he brought it to his lips, closed his mouth around the spoon, and shut his eyes as though the porridge was the best thing he ever had.As if that wasn't enough, he had licked the spoon. He had fucking licked the spoon!It should disgust me and, oh, very much inappropriate as I had seen some teenagers around; even though I wondered what they might be doing here, it turned me on.My pussy dampened as Matteo winked at me, and his lips curved up in a crooked smile.Fuck!He was doing it on purpose. He definitely was."You are looking at him way too much, Deirdre," Leslie said
DEIRDREDAY THREEWould it be strange if I admitted this was my first bonfire ever? Perhaps.Despite being quite social, I'd never been to one before."Hey, bestie!" Leslie waved me over."We're not best friends," I muttered, then flashed her a wide smile, tucking a strand of my hair that swirled in the wind behind my ear.Wrapping my arms around me, I grimaced as more goosebumps formed. It was probably a bad idea to wear a teal halter neck tankini and blue denim shorts without a sweater, considering the wind.Sitting close enough to the fire to warm me but not so close to roast me, I sighed. Then, my nose wrinkled as it caught a scent other than burning wood.My mouth watered as the distinct smell of s'mores, grilled corn, and kabobs filled the air. My stomach grumbled, reminding me that I had only picked at my food earlier after Matteo had seized the opportunity to tease me nonstop.It wasn't entirely his fault; I had woken up grabbing onto his dick as though I was holding on for de
DEIRDREStruggling to come down from Matteo's shoulder, which became possible once we stepped indoors, I turned to stare at him. He turned his back to me before facing me."Do you really mean what you said, Deirdre? You don't make dirty jokes like that in the presence of many people.""I-I..." I stuttered, my heart beating wildly as he approached, undoing the top button of his shirt."Do you?" he asked, with narrowed eyes.I nodded, unable to find the right words, as my throat suddenly felt dry from staring at his chest."You want to be humiliated, Deirdre, even though I don't have the right tools here to do that. But I would be kind enough to show you the best humiliation you can get if you let me," Matteo said, his voice taking on a professional tone.The way he said it made it sound like something one might want to do every day. It was my dark fantasy, and it could be painful, or so I'd heard when I confided in Kelsey, my best friend, who was the only one who knew. Now, the world k
DEIRDREDAY FOUR I jerked awake with a start.My breath caught in my throat as I felt a sudden chill between my legs, followed by a gentle caress of my clit, making me inhale sharply.Opening my eyes slowly, I found Matteo's face hovering over mine, a smirk playing on his lips."Morning, baby," he said, leaning in for a kiss on my lips.However, I turned my head to the side, and his lips brushed against the corner of mine instead."Why?" he asked.I clasped a hand over my mouth, muttering, "Morning breath.""Does it matter?" he whispered, his hot, minty breath teasing my skin and nose."It does," I replied, nudging him off me.I climbed down from the bed, gripping the headboard as my knees buckled.Sitting on the bed for a moment, I breathed out before standing up again.However, the same feeling persisted—buckling knees now accompanied by a woozy sensation.Matteo stood from where he sat, coming toward me. He lifted me off the ground, his strong arms supporting my legs and waist."I
DEIRDRE POVDAY FIVE Matteo leaned into me, his lips hovering over my ear as he whispered, "Do you want me to stuff you like a turkey?"My eyes widened, and my cheeks burned.Fuck! I hadn't heard of that before until now. I turned around, ensuring no one had heard him other than me."Deirdre," Matteo whispered, his voice low and husky, "Open up." He tapped my thigh, wrapped his arms around me from behind, and he pulled me into him.His idea was for us to sit close to each other when we arrived; I never knew he had other motives.Pushing my skirt up, his hand slipped inside my thigh, and I clamped them together, locking his hand in the process."We are in public," I hissed."Does it matter, baby? You are my wife." Matteo murmured, prying my legs open.I was glad my legs were under the table. I couldn't imagine someone knowing we were being naughty right now. My stomach churned with nerves, and I bite my lower lip.Rubbing his index finger over my pant briefly, he slipped it into my mo
