Page 71 of The Billionaire's Pact

His eyes widened. “Yeah, your family will lose it. I’ll call Isla.”

Rocco was on the phone with Isla at the crack of dawn, organizing a clinic visit, and I hoped this job made her happy. At the same time, I wanted to talk to someone. Mama? No way. Even if I considered it, she was on a timeout from calls. Cassidy? I hoped. I rolled over, and he took my waist. “Where are you going?”

“Shower,” I said.

“Wait a sec, I’ll join you,” he said with the phone still against his ear.

“We have sex, and now we’re joined at the hip?” I half-joked.

But his face had softened and my heart pounded. “No, Bella. I simply want to be with you.”

My chest fluttered, and I sat there with him until he ended the call. Then we both went back inside his primary bathroom and into the walk-in shower.

The lights were on. He could see a few old scars that had mostly faded; he’d seen more than anyone else had. I tensed under the spray, but he moved behind me. He took the sponge from my hand, lathered it up with a lavender mousse, and washed it over my skin. He kissed one on the back of my thigh, and I shook. His hands gripped my hips and made me turn to face him. I stared down at this incredibly gorgeous man on his knees before me. “You’re so beautiful, Adelina.”

“Not everywhere,” I croaked.

He traced a scar. “Sports?”

“Fights,” I mumbled.

“You? No way,” he chuckled.

“Yep, me. I tried to….” Make myself hard. Ugly. To keep Judge Colby from hitting Mama. To keep him away from me.

“Adelina?” Rocco said, and I could see he was concerned.

I plastered on a smile. “I had a smart-mouth…and I’m pretty scrappy. My birth father, if you’d call him that, was violent. I had to protect my Mama.”

I hadn’t wanted to share, but he’d been so open with me. My body tensed, unsure of how he’d respond.

He stood and hugged me, rubbing my back. “I’m sorry you both went through that. You won’t ever need to fight again. I’ll protect you.”

I squeezed his waist he was so certain. We held each other and the embrace changed to a lustful one. I could feel his erection pressing against my stomach. My nipples grew tighter against his broad chest, and I peered up at him. “Do you want me to….?”

“Not yet. Let me show you how I like it.”

Rocco stood there, with his godlike body, muscular, confident, and strong as he fisted his cock, and I couldn’t look away. He stroked his shaft in front of me and moaned. My body warmed watching him. His head fell back as he jerked himself, his moans and breaths harsh. It was brutal, intense.

I wanted to touch him, please him. His hands stroked faster. I was sure he was getting close. I bent down and closed my mouth on his dick, and he let out a deep moan.

“Fuck, yes. Adelina,” he drawled out. He clutched my head, pushing his cock further inside my mouth. His skin was hot, the head soft and spongy. I gagged and swallowed. He tasted warm and salty.

Rocco kept me there, sliding his cock against my tongue as he fucked my mouth. His cock flexed and rippled as his come filled my mouth, and I swallowed it down. I trembled hard when we let go. My eyes were watery, and I lifted my brows. I wanted to know if he was happy.

He grinned broadly at me as his chest rose and fell. “I thought you’d be too shy.”

I blinked up at him. “I was curious.”

He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead. “Go ahead and experiment with me whenever you want.”

My heart fluttered.

We finished cleaning up. After, I rushed back to the other bedroom to finish dressing. I wanted to call Mama, but remembered I couldn’t. Her feelings towards Rocco wouldn’t have improved after he told on her. He didn’t know what was going on. If he did, I’d like to believe he’d have done things differently, but I doubted it. It was about disrespect for him. She’d only tell me she disliked Rocco but keep trying to get me to become pregnant to keep him.

I tried Cassidy.

Ring. Ring. Ring. Her voicemail came on.
