PROTECTED BY THE DEVIL 69. Bruises
ROCCOWe walked back to the house in silence. Her hand in mine, fingers interlaced. Sand stuck to our skin, her hair dry and messy from the wind and salt water. I could still taste the ocean on my tongue—or maybe it was her taste. I couldn't tell anymore.The moon was already high when we got inside. The sky was so clear we didn't even need light to see the path. The stars reflected off the wooden floor of the porch, and for one full second, the only things in the world were the sound of our footsteps and the distant crash of the waves.Luca was nowhere in sight—probably in his room, headphones on, as usual. The house was quiet, just the waves outside. I mentally thanked him for having the decency to disappear when we needed it."Let's shower," I said, pulling her toward the bathroom.She didn't argue. Let me guide her, turn on the water, put her under the hot spray. Steam started to rise, fogging up the mirror, and the smell of soap mixed with salt and skin.I washed her hair first.
PROTECTED BY THE DEVIL 68. Fire on the Sand
DIANAThe kiss was brutal.No gentle lead-in, none of that hesitation from before. It was hard, possessive, his tongue shoving into my mouth like he was claiming me. My hands went up into his hair, grabbing the wet strands, and I kissed him back with the same ferocity.The water hit our bodies, but I barely felt the cold. I only felt him—his big hands gripping my waist, his hard cock pressing against my stomach, his hot breath mixing with mine."You're insane," he muttered against my lips."And you're a controlling piece of shit."He laughed—a low, guttural sound—and lifted me onto his hips. My legs wrapped around his waist, and I felt the head of his cock graze my wet entrance."You gonna fuck me on the beach?" I challenged, biting his lower lip."I'm gonna fuck you so hard you won't be able to walk tomorrow."He carried me out of the water and laid me down on the sand. Grains stuck to my wet skin, but I didn't care. I just wanted him inside me.Rocco settled between my legs, those g
PROTECTED BY THE DEVIL 67. Finding Her Naked
ROCCOShe was gone.No, not really gone—I knew exactly where she went. The hidden beach, the one she thought I didn't know about. But the fact that she'd taken off without telling me, after our fight, had my blood boiling.I stormed down the trail in long strides, the thick vegetation scratching my arms. The sound of the waves got louder with every step.When I reached the clearing, I stopped.She was in the ocean.Naked.Completely naked.The water hit her at the waist, clear enough that I could see everything—the curve of her breasts, the line of her waist, the wide hips my hands knew so well. Her hair was wet, plastered to her back.She didn't see me at first. She was facing away, arms spread out, letting the waves crash against her body.My dick went hard instantly. A visceral, uncontrollable reaction. Anger and lust mixing together in a way that left me dizzy."DIANA!"She spun around with a start, eyes wide. When she saw me on the sand, surprise gave way to irritation."What are
PROTECTED BY THE DEVIL 66. The Start of a Fight
DIANA~ Three days later ~The island was gorgeous. The house was perfect. But I was starting to feel like I was in another gilded cage.Rocco wouldn't let me take a single step alone. Not that he came out and said it—he just kept showing up wherever I was. If I went to the kitchen, he was there, drinking coffee. If I sat on the porch, he'd wander over with some lame excuse. If I took a deep breath, he'd ask if I was okay.On that third day on the island, I snapped."Can you stop following me?" I spun around in the middle of the hallway, and he nearly ran into me. "For God's sake, Rocco. I just want to go to the bathroom by myself."He crossed his arms over his chest, giving me that stone look that drove me crazy."I'm doing my job.""Job?" I laughed, but there was nothing funny about it. "Since when is your job watching me? I thought we were free now. I ran away from a forced marriage with you for this."His jaw locked. I knew I'd hit a nerve, but I couldn't stop."We're still in dan
PROTECTED BY THE DEVIL 65. A Safe Place to Hide
DIANA"What happened? Why are you here?""I need a place to crash. Just a few days. While I figure out what to do."Enzo looked us over—me, Rocco, Luca. Sized us up. Then nodded."The house is yours. Stay as long as you need.""Thank you, Enzo.""Don't thank me." The old man smiled, showing yellowed teeth. "You saved my son's life in Afghanistan. I owe you."Enzo gave a wave and headed back to the other house, where the woman had already shut the door. I heard the click of a lock turning.She didn't like us, huh?" I said."Maria doesn't like anyone," Rocco replied, already climbing the steps to the white house. "Not even her own husband, sometimes."The door was unlocked.We went in.And I stopped again.Inside, the house was even more beautiful. Simple furniture, but made of rich wood. Fishing nets hanging on the walls like decoration. A huge, soft couch facing the ocean. An open kitchen, with fruit in a basket and wine bottles on the counter.Luca had already dropped his laptop on t
PROTECTED BY THE DEVIL 64. The Price of Freedom
DIANAThe plane was small, loud, and hit every pocket of turbulence like a speed bump. But after everything we'd been through, it almost felt comfortable.Rocco sat across from me, jaw tight, eyes fixed on the horizon outside. Luca was in the back, still on his laptop—I had no idea how he could type through all that shaking.I reached over and touched Rocco's arm."You going to tell me what happened?"He took a beat before answering."Someone found us.""Who?""I don't know yet. But they weren't Alessandro's guys.""Then who?"He turned his face to me, eyes tired."Could be anyone, Diana. An enemy of mine. An enemy of your brother's. Someone who wants to use you as leverage. There's no shortage of people who want us dead."The coldness in his voice scared me. Not because I didn't know—I'd always known. But hearing it said like that, raw and stripped down, hurt differently."Are we going to spend our whole lives running?" I asked."No.""Then when does it stop?"Rocco was quiet for a m
