Page 113 of The Devil Can Be Kind

She was sleeping soundlessly beside me now, completely oblivious to the beast she had awakened within me.

All men in the Cosa Nostra had a vice, and while I had always thought whiskey was mine, I realized now that I had been wrong. It was her.

She was damn close to perfect, utterly beautiful and all kinds of sexy. Smart-mouthed but intelligent. Not like most of the airheads that bartered for my attention. She didn’t treat me like everyone else did, and while her insubordination had pissed me off at the beginning, I had come to find it oddly refreshing…and now that I knew she was submissive in the sack? Well, she really was my perfect woman.

Tonight had been a first for me but it had apparently been a first for her too. Something I couldn’t help but feel smug about.

Despite that knowledge though, a large part of me still wanted to know what her experience was and who the men were she’d been with before me. One of them she’d said was at the bottom of Lake Mead, but the other? I had no idea where he was…and judging by Ada’s behavior when I broached the subject, I guessed that she wanted to keep it that way.

When I had touched her the first time, I could see it was new to her. I could see the surprise—apprehension even—burning behind those delicate blue irises. Not only that, but she was sofuckingtight,and her hands explored my body with a distinct timidness. A complete juxtaposition to the way she danced and the air of sexual confidence she so frequently projected.

Whatever men she’d been with before it couldn’t have been for much longer than a one-night stand, I’d decided.

Just the idea of other men being with her in that way, even just once, was enough to make my jaw clench in anger and a red haze tint the edges of my vision.

The fucking bastard took what’s mine.

I didn’t know which of the two had been the one to have done it, to have taken hervirtue, but if I found out he was the one still alive… the fucker’s body would be unrecognizable soon enough.

A searing hot hatred poured through my blood stream.

Ada suddenly turned in her sleep in response to my tension. The sheets around her falling away, exposing her entire back and ass to the air.

God she is beautiful.

She sighed in her sleep and the sound went straight to my dick, causing it to harden instantly. With her tight ass right there and her midnight hair curled across the pillow, I burned no longer with anger but withneed. Ineededto be inside her again.

I shifted over to her, pushing myself against her small frame as my free hand trailed across her stomach. She stirred slightly and I sucked on her neck, beckoning her awake. My restraint paper thin as I pressed my hips to her ass. My dick throbbed.

Fuck.

She turned slightly, rousing a little to mumble, “What, Marco?”

“I want you,” I said without hesitation, rolling my hips into her again to prove my point.

“Ask me nicely,” she breathed.

I smiled into her neck as she used the same words I had earlier.

Normally, I didn’t ask for fucking anything. I was Don Marco La Torre, and under normal circumstances, I would have discarded any woman that told me toask her nicelyto fuck her. Butman, oh manthese were not normal circumstances. This woman was my fucking drug and if I didn’t get my fix, I didn’t know what I was capable of.

So I did something I’d never done before.

I askednicely.

“Please, Ada.” I whispered against her ear.

My hand came up to palm her breast and her nipples hardened in response to my warmth.

She was taking too damn long to answer.

“I need to be inside you, Ada.Please.” The desperation in my voice made it almost unrecognizable, even to my own ears. “Fuck!” I gritted my teeth, growling the profanity as she pressed her ass firmly against me, my cock pushing into the crevice between her cheeks.

“Be gentle Marco, I’m a little sore.” Her voice was less sleepy than before, and she glanced over her shoulder to look at me with those perfect, doe-like eyes.

I nodded and readjusted my position, sinking downwards until I lined up with her entrance. She sighed as I rocked into her as gently as I could.

I moaned in relief, the warmth of being inside her hitting me instantly. She whimpered in my arms as my full length slid into her.
