Page 57 of Promise Never

Alessandro huffs a frustrated breathand straightens, putting all of his naked and so undeniably desirable body ondisplay. “Fine.” He grabs his clothes from the carpet, dressing quickly. “I’llgive you some space.” With that, he marches out of the bedroom.

I slither to the floor.

What the hell am I going to do?

My heart wants Alessandro. My mind istorn in half with guilt over my sister consuming one side.

Afraid Alessandro will come back for moreand that I’ll let him, I lock myself up in the guesthouse. I don’t even want tohear news about Zeno at this point. I just can’t be around Alessandro until myemotions are in check.

Thankfully, he allows me the space anddoesn’t force his way inside.

Sofia sends meals with the guards, andI swear I can remain like this until it’s safe to leave Sicily. But as dawnseeps in to indicate my second day of isolation, missing Alessandro becomesunbearable.

I pace around for the entire morning,ignoring breakfast when a guard comes over.

My mind remains stuck on Alessandroeven as I’m piling clothes into the washer.

I’m about to exit the laundry roomwhen I hear rattling at the backdoor. I stall in place, my pulse quickening.

The door opens seconds after and shutswith a thud.

My heart speeds up when Alessandroappears in the doorway, a wild expression on his handsome face.

Acting tough, I start to ask, “Whatare you—”

“Don’t speak,” he orders.

Gasps trickle out as he crosses thespace and grips my arms, turning me to face the washer.

My eyes expand when Alessandro bendsme over the machine. “Maybe this is how you want it. You don’t have to look atme while I fuck you.”

“Uhh,” Igasp as he parts my legs with his knee.

Excitement climbs at the sound of hisbelt unbuckling and then his zipper. “With your skills, you could easily fightme off.SoI know you want this, Tiana.”

It’s true. Instead of arguing, I clampmy lips, too eager for what’s to come.

Alessandro tugs my shorts andunderwear down to my ankles.

“Ah!” I yelp from the pleasure when hegrips my pussy, rubbing it viciously until it makes sloshing sounds.

“I’ve gotten a taste, and now I’maddicted.” Ecstasy burns hotter in my veins when he braces over my back. “Callmy name again, Tiana.”

I cry out as he drives his cock intome, thrusting fast. It’s rough, like the first time, and I love it. Ourconnection is a searing blaze led by a great longing. It’s understandable whyhe fucks me hard as if he’s dying to get his fill.

There’s no guilt when he’s inside me.

My body, heart, and mind are free toenjoy these feelings.

“How can I let you go, hm?” He nips atmy ear. “You’ve touched a place in me that no other has ever been before. Iwon’t let you go. I won’t.”

“Uhh…” Igrip the sides of the machine as he increases pumps. “Fuck… Alessandro.”

He snarls like a beast in return,clutching my curls and giving my hair a slight tug. “What have you done to me? Ican’t concentrate on anything. You’re all I think about, Tiana. You’re all Ifucking want.” He slams into me harder.

“Alessandro!” I scream, vibratingalong with the washer as it starts the spin cycle. “Fuck!”
