Showing courage, I grab his length and begin stroking him. He lets out a soft hiss as my hands trail up to his balls, where I cup each one of them. Vincent bucks his hips forward. The fact that I have this kind of power over him turns me on even more.

Then I lean forward and press a kiss to the tip of his erection. Vincent’s moan sets me on fire.

“Tell me what you like,” I say, before taking him in my mouth.

“You don’t have to take me all the way in,” he advises. “Just go slow. I’ll move at your pace.”

I take my time running my lips and tongue over him. He doesn’t go too far inside me since I’m a little intimidated to take him in further. Vincent doesn’t push me, and I’m so grateful for that.

I spend time licking his tip, which seems to drive him crazy. Vincent continues to groan softly. His eyes flutter shut. I love seeing him like this—in the throes of pleasure. It reminds me that we’re in this together.

It doesn’t take long for Vincent to start to lose control.

“I’m close, Ellie. If you don’t want me to come in your mouth, then pull back.”

I don’t pull back.

I want to experience everything with him.

Vincent groans as he comes, his seed filling my mouth. I swallow. The taste of it is slightly salty and not unpleasant.

He gives me a chagrined smile before wrapping me in his arms and dropping us down on the bed together. I snuggle into his side.

“I have the money,” he says into my hair. “We could leave. We could run.”

I tense. “My father would find us. And what about Nico? I thought you wanted to …”

“Kill him? I’m not so sure now. There’s something I have to do first. Nico offered me a job. I’m going to take him up on it. Make something of myself. But here’s the thing, Ellie. Your father wants me to kill him.”

I pull back. “Why?”

“I’m not sure. He just does.”

“Are you going to do it? I know you wanted to.”

“I’m not sure anymore. I just know I want to be with you. You’re the most important person in my life now.”

I believe Vincent when he tells me that. The only thing I don’t believe is that we’ll be able to escape my father. That’s a pure and utter fantasy.

VINCENT

I get the results back from the paternity test. I sent it in a week ago, and now, it’s here. In that time, Ellie and I kept our distance after our visit in my bedroom. We don’t want to make her father too suspicious of us. I’m already walking on thin ice when it comes to him.

I open the results in the privacy of my bedroom.

And it’s official—Nico Mancini is my father.

I sit down on my bed in a huff. I’m the child that was stolen away when I was three years old. Igor Antonov was never my father. He kidnapped me. My own parents thought I was dead.

Nico killed Igor because he kidnapped me.

It all makes sense now.

I never felt like I truly belonged with Igor. And the moment I met Aurora, she felt like home.

That’s because she’s my mother.

There’s no way I can kill Nico now. Not for my own gain. Not for Mr. Moore.
