I grip her hair, wrapping it around my fist as I tug back. “Say it!”
“Fuck me.”
I’m careening out of control to the edge. “No… say who you belong to.”
“I belong to you… always you… only you.”
At those last two words, my release slams through me like a fucking freight train. I drive into her, my cum filling her pussy until it’s dripping down her thighs.
She cries out, clasping around my cock, and fucking hell, its like I’m coming all over again.
We move like wild animals rooting, the sounds of fucking filling my room.
If the whole house doesn’t know what we’re doing, they’re deaf.
But I don’t care.
All I know is that I need this woman in my life like I need air. Yes, sometimes it’s toxic or too thin to breathe, but I have to have it, nonetheless.
The realization fills me with terror because I know that the conversation and this fuck haven’t solved anything.

I never expected to feel safe in the Dante compound again. Never expected Adriano to forgive me and take me back. And yet, here I am, back in his bed, waking each morning next to him. I'm overcome with contradicting emotions—gratitude and shame.
Gratitude that he's chosen me. Despite everything I've done, despite not knowing the full extent of my betrayal, he's standing between me and everyone who wishes me harm.
But the guilt that I’ve not fully revealed my secrets weighs heavily. I’ve only shared what his father did, how his brother has put me back in the same situation I was in four years ago.
What’s interesting is that while Adriano asks me to share my secrets, he doesn’t push.
He doesn’t ask why his father distrusted me. It’s the next logical question, but he doesn’t ask it.
The only reason I can think of is that he doesn’t want to know the truth.
That he knows it will change things and he doesn’t want that.
The fact that he’d let me hide the truth because he wants me and what we lost filled me with hope that we’ll figure out how to make this work.
Of course, Alessandro is still distrustful of me.
Adriano spoke to him, told him to take his issues about me to him.
“What did he say?” I asked when Adriano told me this.
“He thinks I'm making a mistake. He told me I should focus on family loyalty instead of a woman who’s keeping secrets and has run from me… twice.”
I winced when he reminded me of that. "What did you tell him?"
“I am protecting family.” His answer felt like a gift, and yet, my guilt and fear of Alessandro keep me from fully embracing happiness with Adriano. Especially as I worry that his relationship with me will create a rift between him and Alessandro.
The good news is that Alessandro gives me a wide berth now.
Not that I don’t feel the frozen tundra emanating from him when we’re near each other, but he doesn’t say anything. Just a glare as he walks away.
The thing is, I can’t blame him. Alessandro's suspicion isn't misplaced. In fact, it's justified.
