Now it was time to make good on the promise I’d made to her.

Quickly, she would belong to me. Solely this time, the little chook would by no means be allowed to fly away.

CHAPTER 21

Christiana

I knew he’d adopted me.

The person I’d dreamt of. The person I desired.

The person I hoped to marry.

Francesco…

I waited within the courtyard, unsure of virtually every thing else in my life aside from the very fact Francesco wouldn’t be capable of keep away. I believed him when he mentioned he’d burn down the world so as to discover me. Part of me needed him to.

As I wrapped my hand across the iron railing dealing with the road, my heartbeat echoing loudly, I sucked in my breath.

There was extra site visitors than regular, vehicles whizzing by on the residential street as if decided to get to their locations shortly. But in my thoughts, similar to had occurred earlier than, the complete world stopped turning on its axis. I used to be risking a lot by even being right here, but my father was far too busy being embroiled in enterprise with Dante to pay any consideration to the very fact I nonetheless wasn’t sporting the ankle monitor, discovering a technique to faux I’d returned it into place. Given the machine was a GPS tracker solely, I’d merely slid it underneath the covers, utilizing pillows to make it appear as if I used to be quick asleep.

Infantile? Sure. Dangerous? Indisputably, however the second I’d laid eyes on Francesco, every thing had modified.

Seconds later, I felt his presence and my pulse elevated to the purpose I may really feel it in my throat. The sound of his footsteps as he moved nearer despatched a wave of tingles beginning at my chest, drifting slowly to my toes. The slight chill within the air introduced a spherical of goosebumps, however the heat between my thighs was growing with each inch he drew nearer. I closed my eyes, pretending we have been the one two folks on this planet and that nobody may ever discover us. As I turned my head, I attempted to maintain from making a single sound.

We have been stealing one other few treasured moments in time, creating one other reminiscence. I solely hoped this one would result in one other.

And one other.

“You thought you could possibly run away from me,” he growled from proper behind me, his heated breath skipping throughout my cheek. “You appear to neglect that I’m the Large Unhealthy Wolf.”

“You is likely to be however I’m not Little Pink Using Hood.”

“I’m not sure about that, little dove. You’re all grown up. The higher to eat you.”

I don’t know why his teasing phrases created such a rumble of butterflies in my tummy apart from to listen to the deep longing in his voice was fascinating. I stored my fingers tightly wound across the iron posts, moaning when he positioned his palms on high of mine. Then he pressed his full weight in opposition to me and I arched my again, resting my head on his shoulder.

He pressed kisses in opposition to my cheek and I shuddered in his maintain. “Take me away from all this, Francesco. Without end.”

“I’ll, child. That a lot I promise you.” When he backed away, I stiffened however he shortly spun me round, cupping each side of my face. “I’ve waited far too lengthy for this second, my candy girl. I would like you. I would like you. I’ll have you ever.”

Francesco reeked of ardour, a lot so I used to be captured right into a second of candy abyss, in a position to block out every thing however the man standing in entrance of me. As he crushed his mouth over mine, I rolled my arms over his shoulders, tangling my fingers in his hair. I leaned into him, the kiss candy but explosive. My blood stress elevated, my thoughts a whir of ideas and longings, incapable of placing two coherent phrases collectively.

The electrical energy was as if a number of bottle rockets have been going off inside, combating with the weather of concern. I not cared whether or not I used to be a very good woman or not, preferring to be sullied by the highly effective man and his insatiable wants. The style of him was simply as explosive as his contact, which seared each inch of my pores and skin.

I used to be lightheaded, longing to chortle and cry on the identical time. I’d thought this might by no means occur once more. And I’d by no means needed one thing a lot. He pulled me off my toes and I couldn’t assist however wrap a leg round his, pulling myself in even nearer. Simply the texture of getting his thick hair in my palms was unbelievable, a lot so lights flashed in my periphery of imaginative and prescient.

He pulled me additional into the shadows and in opposition to the growing older brick, rolling his hips forwards and backwards. The texture of his hardness pressed in opposition to me left me breathless. There was one thing so enigmatic about the way in which he dominated my tongue, tasting me as if he’d been deserted in a desert for months, solely now in a position to quench his thirst. When he broke the kiss, he raked his tooth from one aspect of my jaw to the opposite, his heavy respiration forcing me to chortle.

I clamped one hand round his arm, fearful he’d out of the blue vanish, nothing greater than an apparition, a want manifesting itself right into a bubbled fantasy. However as I squeezed his muscle mass, gyrating my hips forwards and backwards, there was no denying he was very actual.
