Regretfully, I place her back down and strip my shirt off, sliding it over her head. Her brows come together in confusion before she slips her arms through the openings. My tank top is long enough to look like a dress on her. It lands at the tops of her thighs.And damn if she doesn’t look sexy as sin wearing it.I bite down on my lip, preventing a moan from slipping past them.Get it together, Diego. Sheesh.
She has a man. She has a man. She has a man.It’s been my mantra since I met her.
Who am I kidding? She would never want a monster like me, even if she didn’t.
And after tomorrow night, if we don’t get the chance to fill her man in, he’s going to kill me.Or tryto, at least. I really don’t want to have to kill him first. I may be namedEl Rompe Huesos,but that name was designed for those who truly deserve it.
Liam does not. That doesn’t mean I think he’srightfor Madison. He may not remember me. But I definitely remember him.
Before Selena’s engagement was called off, we had dinners and events with them frequently. Liam was such a shithead. So hot and cold. So irritable.What the fuck does Madison see in that guy anyway?
“I have one last request from you, and then we will go back upstairs. I will fill you in oneverything. Nothing is as it seems. I’m not your enemy,Mariposita. Neither is Selena.”
“A request?Ha. That’s rich coming from you. You get off on submission and obedience,” she glares at me, crossing her arms over her chest.
Mmm…she’s a feisty one. It makes my cock pulse with adesire stronger than I’ve ever felt. Never have I felt this drawn to a woman.And I’ve fucked plenty.She isn’t wrong. I do get off on obedience and submission. With her it’s different. These last few weeks have given me a taste of something rare, something I didn’t know I’d enjoy so much.
The fire she throws my way is what I’ve been craving all along. Threatening her to submit gets my blood flowing south. But having her throw it back in my face?Fuuuck. Has my balls aching for release.
I’m not sure that I would ever truly want her to become obedient. I want her fire, her stubbornness, her sharp tongue.
She has a man.
“Yes. A request. I need you to scream your pretty little heart out… So much so, it will make Geraldo think I am torturing you.”
Her full lips pop open, dumbfounded.
“That’s great. Good form.” I lift her jaw with the knuckle of my index finger and press my thumb to her chin.
“Now I need you toactuallyscream.”
She stares at me all of two seconds before screaming like a banshee.
“Feels good doesn’t it? Let it out. Let everything you’ve been feeling these last few weeks out.”
After a minute or so, I cup my hand over her mouth and silence her. She bites the inside of my palm. Not hard enough to draw blood, but hard enough to leave teeth marks. I’m tempted to get them tattooed there. A constant reminder of the sacrifice she is unknowingly making for me and Selena. As well as every innocent person she will save from my uncle’s wrath.
“That’s for cutting up my fucking clothes in front of your creepy…sadistic…vileuncle.”
“Ahh, so you didn’t mind that I got a look? Or that I sliced through your clothes like they were butter? I think you liked it,Mariposita.” She hesitates for a moment.
“That was…fear, you asshole.”
“I’m going to have you watch that video one day. Then you’ll see yourself through my eyes.” Pink creeps into her cheeks as she lowers her gaze from mine.
“You won’t get the chance to because you’ll be dead.”
I ignore her comment. “You trusted me to chain you up. Even after seeing those tools.” I nod my head to the table. A shiver races up her body. “That was lust, Madison. If my fingers slipped under that black lace right now, I would find my fingers soaked and gleaming. Which would make you aliar.”
“Can we get out of here?Please.” Her voice has dimmed, becoming small and sheepish.
I bend down, scooping her up in my arms. Bridal style. She hesitates for a second before lacing her arms around my neck. When we reach the top of the stairs, I glance down at her. She’s gnawing on her lower lip, seemingly lost in thought.
Damn, her eyes are so fucking gorgeous.
Everything about her is gorgeous.
There’s not a stitch of makeup on her—not that she needs it. That right there is natural fucking beauty.Perfection.
