When I walked into the room, he started screaming at me, telling me how I was a disappointment and pathetic. He shouted about how I was never allowed to speak to you again and to stop trying to find you. I told him I would never stop, that I love you and I will never stop fighting for you. He didn’t like that.”

I take a shuddering breath and a rack of chills runs across my skin at the memory. It was arguably one of the worst days of my life. Now that I think about it, I seem to have quite the list of terrible days.

“He hit me and I fell to the ground. Before I could get up, he pinned me down with his foot against my back. The next thing I felt was the sting of his leather belt.”

I let out a shuddered breath as the tears start to freefall. I wipe my face quickly as I look up to Luca. I am a little caught off guard by what I see though. I have never seen anyone look quite so murderous, so lethal. He is practically vibrating with rage as he turns me slightly to assess the deep lash marks across my lower back but remains silent waiting for me to continue.

“I don’t know how many times he whipped me. All I could think about was how badly I wanted to be in your arms in that moment. The pain was debilitating, I honestly thought I was going to die that night. I must have passed out during it because the next thing I remember is waking up on the floor of his office later that night, blood running down my back. I could barely handle being in the shower for 6 months.” I pause to meet his eyes.

“The worst part was that I did what he said, after that I stopped trying to look for you. I had no leads, and I was terrified what would happen if I disobeyed him again. I was scared to anger him in any way. So, I kept silent, played along when he needed me to and I stuck around out of fear. I gave up on you, us, out of fear. I am so sorry my love. I am so sorry I wasn’t strong enough.”

The tears begin to pour again as I feel his arms wrap around me and squeeze protectively. He doesn’t say a word. Just stands there and holds me, as if he needs the contact as much as I do.

Chapter Fourteen

Luca

I have wanted William Adams dead for years. The man ruined our lives. If it wasn’t for him putting us on the streets we never would have gotten back involved in the family and my parents would be alive to this day. That alone was enough for him to be on my list. Now I hear this shit?

He made her bleed. He scarred her body forever. There is no doubt about it now. I will take immense pleasure in watching the life drain from his sinister eyes.

I am barely containing my rage with each word she speaks. All I want to do is smash in the tile walls around me. I should have been there. I should have gotten her out sooner. I knew where she was the whole time as she was desperately searching for me. She told me when she first came here that I had no idea the consequences she faced from searching for me. I get it now, and it makes me fucking sick.

Now here she is, this beautiful broken woman falling apart in my arms blaming herself for not being able to find me, for us not being together. Does she not see who the real monster of the story is? With the amount of adrenaline pumping through me I do the only thing I can, I grasp her face with both of my hands and crush my mouth against hers. She lets out a surprised gasp before melting into the kiss. Her lips move gently across mine while I try to convey everything that I am feeling in this one kiss. Pain, regret, sadness, passion and so much more.

I slip my tongue past her lips and she happily accepts, sinking into me and pulling me closer to her. Pulling away from her lips I start to kiss down her neck moving my way across her body. I spin her around so I can look at her back again. From the moment she turned around I knew what caused the raised angry scars that mar her otherwise perfect skin. I can see every strike and each one breaks something in me.

There are only 2 things that I can do to satisfy the beast that is craving to be released right now, and since there is no one close enough to me to kill I choose the other option. I sink my teeth into the curve of her neck before licking away the pain. She lets out a startled gasp before she moans. I trace my hands down her sides and begin kissing each and every scar. I hear her trying to hold back soft sobs as I make my way down her body.

I reach her tail bone and give one final kiss before I spin her around again. I look up into those stunning blue eyes and my heart thumps so hard I swear it’s about to beat out of my chest. I let out a rough curse as I see her beautiful bare body on full display for me. Wasting no time, I grip her hips tightly and slide my tongue into her core. She lets out a breathy sigh and buries her fingers through my hair, pulling me closer. I slide my hands to rest on the curve of her ass and hold tightly as I coax her towards the edge. It only takes two swipes across her clit before she is screaming my name, her body bucking and shaking as I keep her pressed against the shower wall.

“Please Luca. I want you. It’s been so long. I can’t wait any longer,” she whispers breathily.

“Whatever you need Angel. I will give you everything for as long as we live.”

I stand quickly and grab her right thigh, sliding it up to wrap around my waist. My hand settles on the small of her back pulling her body flush with mine. My cock is rock hard and it twitches as it is pressed against her buttery skin. I line myself up to her and look up, waiting to see if she will change her mind. She nods her head again and whispers, “Please.” That is all I need before I am slam into her. I know I should take my time but like she said, it has been too damn long. I need to claim what is mine, damn the consequences.

“Santo cielo,” I bite out. “Angel, you are like heaven.”

She moans louder and pushes her hips against me. I begin to thrust in her, trying to go slow but quickly picking up speed. She meets me thrust for thrust and claws at my back like a wild animal. I swear my eyes roll to the back of my head. I wrap my arm underneath her other leg and push her up against the wall as she wraps her legs around me. Her pussy clenches around me and I can’t help but groan in pleasure. This woman is a goddess.

“Luca, oh my god!” She shouts.

I look down to see her head is thrown back in ecstasy. The water is cascading down her body making her look like some kind of beautiful siren. My pace becomes more frantic as I watch her pleasure build.

“Oh my god Luca, I am close,” she pants as her arm tightens around my neck.

My pace is practically rabid, but I can’t control myself. I can’t stop. I am drunk on her. Her body fits perfectly against mine, like she was made for me. I feel her walls begin to tighten around me. I quickly brush my thumb against her clit and that is all it takes. She is screaming like it is either the best pleasure or worst pain she has ever felt, I get that because I am right there with her. Loving her hurts so fucking good.

I let out a guttural growl from the back of my throat and release deep inside of her. When we both have come down from our highs, I slowly ease out of her and kiss her lips gently. She smiles at me looking blissfully dazed.

“I love you my angel,” I whisper against her plump lips.

“I love you,” she replies, pulling me in for another kiss.

I smile looking down at her, I can’t remember the last time I have felt so completely full of happiness. My eyes trace over her body slowly until they catch below.

“Angel, we didn’t use a condom. Fuck, I am so sorry. I can’t believe I forgot.”
