Chapter 38 ALLESIA I swallowed hard. "Please let me come... Master." His smile was dark and satisfied. "Soon. But first—" He shifted and then I felt him, on top of me, then he positioned himself at my entrance. "I want to be inside you when you do." I shut my eyes and waited for the pain that h
A strange warmth bloomed in my chest at his praise. I told myself it was just the afterglow of physical pleasure, nothing more. "How do you feel?" he asked, his tone casual but his eyes watchful. I considered the question. My body felt both exhausted and energized, satisfied in a way I hadn't know
Chapter 39 RUSSEL I adjusted my cufflinks as Allesia finished dressing behind me. Watching her fumble with the zipper of her dress, I felt an unexpected surge of satisfaction. She looked thoroughly fucked—hair wild from my hands, lips swollen from my kisses, eyes still slightly glazed from pleas
"Oh, I bet," he replied. "Everything with this one is complicated." He jerked his thumb in my direction. "Especially his sex life." "I will throw you out of this moving car," I threatened. "You'd have to unbuckle first," he retorted. Then, to Allesia: "Seriously though, are you okay? Because if yo
Chapter 40 RUSSEL I stood up from the bed and carefully picked my clothes which were scattered around the room. Allesia was still sleeping peacefully and I wished I didn't have to wake her up. I glanced at my phone, it was past seven in the morning and I had not slept a wink last night. Last nigh
“I'll ask Melissa to bring you anything you'd need.” I informed her as we reached the door to her room, “Rule number one of being in this house, never step outside without my permission no matter what, your safety depends on it because I can’t protect you outside these walls.” “Understood.” She ha
Chapter 41 RUSSEL The vineyard estate looked deceptively peaceful as we pulled up the winding gravel driveway. Ancient stone buildings nestled among rows of grapevines that stretched toward the Tuscan hills. But I knew better. My brothers Vincenzo and Marcel were waiting for us inside the main v
"Take the others to the storage facility," I instructed before walking back toward the vehicles with Vincenzo, Kegan, and Luca following. Behind us, the questioning began, the tone severe but controlled. My phone vibrated, and I answered. "Ignacio." "I hear concerning reports," Ignacio's voice cam

I watched as Vincenzo Mancini stepped down from the private jet. Dressed in a sleek, custom-tailored Italian suit, he took a minute to adjust his tie and cufflinks. The handsome bastard, I thought with a proud grin, ever so cold. It was past 10PM, but Vincenzo had no intentions of staying the nig
I watched her for a moment, marveling at her glow and beauty, which just kept increasing like her bump every day. She looked radiant, even more so with the big swell of her belly showing. Her staff saw me first because they slowly began to disperse; all of them knew how protective I was of my wife
EPILOGUE RUSSEL ~~~0~~~ I stood perfectly still, my thoughts reeling as I waited in the quiet hall of the warehouse. During my absence, Stacy had refused to speak, see, or let anyone touch her. Even Kegan, who was supposed to order a pregnancy test done for her by now, couldn’t do that because
I reached out and touched his face, “I have the perfect man, and I wish to keep everything around us perfect.” After a while, Russel turned to me with a mischievous smile. “You know, we still have some time before we have to go back.” I raised an eyebrow. “What are you suggesting?” He leaned in,
Russel released a shaky breath, his eyes slowly meeting mine. “Nolan killed the fucking detective you went to,” his voice was strained, barely audible. “He wanted to frame me for it, wanted you to hate me, so when that didn't work out, he went to Stacy for help.” “So you took him out.” His hands c
Chapter 165 ALLESIA ~~~°°~~~ Three wonderful weeks on this island, as much as we enjoyed the bliss, we couldn't stay forever. Tomorrow morning, we'll have to return to our life in Sicily. Kegan handled things in Russel’s absence up until the second week, allowing us undivided time to enjoy our h
Everywhere his finger bared, he pressed his lips there. “You’re so fucking gorgeous,” he murmured against my skin, “My wife.” “My husband.” it came out in a low moan, “How did I not know I’ll never be able to move on from you after that first time?” Russel grinned, “You were the most helpless,
