“You think so?”

Softly cupping her chin, I leaned down to her with a sly smirk on my lips.

“The way you rode my dick proves it well.”

Her face instantly flushed, and she looked at me with wide eyes, too stunned to speak. She lightly smacked my chest repeatedly as I laughed at her reaction.

“Why would you even say that?” She scowled at me, her expression cute as she tried to fight through the embarrassment my words had caused.

“My innocent Althaia, nothing to be embarrassed about. It’s all true.”

“Did you have to say it like that?”

“Say it like what? That you ride my dick well?” I winked, watching her gape at me as her face flushed even more.

“You are seriously too much!” She exclaimed and tried to get away from me. I held her in place, encircling her with my arms and promising to stop teasing her — for now, at least.

The sunrise painted the sky with bright colors, and the sound of waves filled the tranquil silence. I stole glances at her, seeing the soft expression on her face and the gentle smile that adorned it.

“You like it here.” I said, and she faced me.

“I do. It’s nice here.”

“We can stay for a few days if you want.” I offered.

“Really?” A radiant smile crossed her face.

“Yes. Besides, I was told to stay away for a few days.”

“I’m guessing it was Raffaele.” Althaia chuckled, and I nodded.

“Who else? He’s the only one who loves to complain.” I sighed. He was an annoying piece of shit, and even though he was my cousin, I had never wanted to shoot someone as much as I have with him. One day, it was going to happen if he kept annoying me.

She shook her head in amusement before letting out a blissful sigh.

“You know, I never thought I would like a beach house this much.”

“Let’s get one.” I told her. She raised her brows in surprise. “For you and me.” And when we were ready, for our children, too.

I wanted to see her and our children running around on the beach, laughing and being happy, like I had witnessed her doing with Kiara.

“I would love that.” A smile spread across her face before she turned her gaze back to the water. “I have a question.” Althaia broke the silence after a while.

“I’m listening.”

“Sienna… you’re not with me because I look like her or resemble her in any way?” She asked, a small frown etched on her face.

“No, you’re nothing alike. Not in appearance or personality-wise.” I said, and she seemed to relax at my words. “Sienna had short hair, brown eyes, and was the quiet type. She only ever spoke when spoken to and was very obedient. But you? You are one fucking chaotic woman. You never listen and love to drive me insane. So no, you’re far from alike.”

“That’s such an exaggeration! I’m not chaotic, and I do listen!” Althaia looked at me with complete offense. I shot her a blank look. “Okay, I sometimes listen…” She trailed off.

“I don’t recall any moment where you’ve followed my orders.” My hands slid down to her ass and lifted her, making her wrap her legs around me.

“Well, I do the opposite when I get ordered around, so that’s on you! Don’t order me around, and I might just listen to you.” She grinned, and I clicked my tongue at her as I walked toward the water.

“You have no idea how strong my urge gets to punish you for not listening.” I told her in a low voice, taking her lip between my teeth, gently tugging before letting go.

“Punish me, how?” Althaia breathed out, and my cock got instantly hard at the lust swirling in her eyes.
