She stroked my cheek before pressing her lips to mine. Her gentle touch calmed the fury inside my soul. The thought of anyone trying to hurt her stirred murderous intentions in me. I had allowed my feelings for her to cloud my judgment, but that had to stop.

Her feelings were important to me, and I didn’t want to bring her heartache, but I valued her life. I would do whatever it took to keep her safe and away from men like Collins.

Lifting her off the floor, I propped her against the wall and supported her with one arm while I lowered my pants to my hips. She hooked her legs around my waist, then reached between us, taking my shaft in her hand.

I moaned when she gripped me hard and pumped back and forth. When she swirled her thumb along my tip, I bucked my pelvis forward.

She giggled against my mouth.

“Don’t be a brat,” I growled.

“Don’t you like it when I tease you?” She rubbed the head of my cock along her hot, wet slit.

“No!” I took control, shoving my hips forward and burying myself deep inside her.

She gasped as her back hit the wall with a loud thud.

“I told you not to be a brat.” I smirked. “Never make me wait.”

“You’ve got a lot to learn about this marriage thing.” She dug into my shoulders as I pounded into her.

“Do I?” I slowed my pace, taking one of her wrists in my hand and securing it to the wall. “What will be my first order of business when I’m your husband?”

“Oh, that’s easy.” She tightened her hold on my waist with her toned legs. “You’ll make me come every night.”

“I already do that.”

“Mmm…” She clenched around me. “That’s why I want to marry you.”

“Because I give the best orgasms?”

“I suppose you do.” She licked my lips. “I don’t have anything to compare it to.”

“And you never will.” I took her other wrist in my hand and pushed it against the wall. “You’re going to have to trust me when I say I’m the only one who could ever make you feel this way.”

“I do trust you.” She shifted her hips, matching my fierce pace. “With my life.”

“I’m never going to let anyone hurt you.” I kissed her neck, licking and sucking her soft flesh as I made my way to her breasts. “I’ll kill anyone who tries.”

“Marchello…” She moaned when I circled my tongue around her nipple. “Oh…”

She wiggled against my hands, but I didn’t let her go as I plunged in and pulled out of her pussy, taking her to the edge.

“I’m going to…”

“Come,” I whispered into her ear. “For me.”

With one final thrust forward, I let loose inside her, filling her as she lost herself in our ecstasy. I kissed her while she shuddered against me. Still buried inside her, I released her wrists, then slid my arms under her backside to support her.

“Are we really getting married?” she asked.

“The sooner the better.” I carried her over to the bed and set her in the middle. “I want to do it in the next few days.”

“What?” She shook her head. “That’s not going to work.”

“Why not?” I zipped and buttoned my pants before scooping the throw off the floor. “I can make it happen.”

“I can’t.” She reached for the throw and wrapped herself in it like an oversized bath towel. “I have to have my gown designed, and we need flowers. Oh my God! Do you know how many months it will take to get the best location in town? At least a year.”
