Chapter 4
A soft tap on the door woke Rory from her sleep. She’d cried herself to sleep, knowing she was being forced to marry one of the two people she was in love with.
“Yes?”
“It’s me. Can I come in?”
Rory inhaled a deep breath and blew it out. “Yes, it’s unlocked.”
“So…” sitting on the edge of the bed, Anthony placed his hand on her knee, “You know this is for the best. While I wish you were marrying me because you love me, I’ll do whatever it takes to protect you.”
“Anthony…” Rory covered his hand with hers, “It’s not that I don’t love you. I just don’t think it’s fair of me to be with you when I love someone else as well.”
“I know, Rory. And as I’ve told you before – I accept all the parts of you. Even that one.”
“Really? So even when we are married, you’re going to be ok with me being with them as well? Because I won’t give them up. I love them, too.”
“Yes. I want you. And, if sharing you is the only way I can have you… then it’s what we will do.” He reached up, brushing a loose strand of hair from her face. “Just don’t shut me out this time.”
“You’d do this for me?”
“Yes. Hiding from me won’t work, Rory. I get that you have another side of you that you need to share with someone.”
“Why, Anthony? You could have any woman you wanted. A woman without needs like mine.”
Anthony fisted her hair, tugging her face close to his, “I love you, Rory.” His lips found hers. Rory leaned into him, melding their tongues together as he ravaged her mouth.
Slowly laying her back, Anthony climbed between her legs and pressed his erection into her clothed center. “I want you, Rory. All of you. Do you understand?”
“Yes,” she moaned against his mouth. Bucking her hips, “I need you inside me, Anthony. Please.”
“So demanding.” Anthony laughed as he stood to remove his clothes. Rory sucked in a breath when he removed his shirt, displaying his perfectly sculpted abs and chest. Pulling her top over her head, Anthony reached down and pinched her nipple through the lace material.
“God damn, you’re beautiful.”
Rory propped herself on her elbow and reached down to grab him through his pants. “Please stop teasing me, Anthony. It’s been too long since I felt your cock inside me.”
Anthony flicked the button to his pants open and pushed them down past his hips. His engorged cock sprang free, red, and swollen. Anthony traced his thumb across the slick bead of precum as he eased himself between her thighs.
“I don’t know how gentle I can be, Rory.”
“I don’t want gentle, Anthony. I want you to fuck me hard.” Rory pushed her pants down and spread her legs more, her sex already glistening with wetness.
Anthony ran his dick between her folds, pressing the head down on her swollen clit.
“FUCK.” Rory cried out, “PLEASE…,” she arched her hips, giving him access to her center.
Anthony lined up with her opening and thrust his hips, burying his cock in one swift movement. Rory screamed out, her nails digging into his arms. He slid his dick out, ramming it back in with force.
Rory cried out with each thrust. Her body heated up as her orgasm began to build. It had been weeks since she’d been with Anthony, yet her body knew precisely how to respond.
“I’m close, Anthony.” Rory gasped.
“I know, baby. I can feel your body responding to mine. Let go… just let go.” He pumped into her faster, his thumb finding that sensitive bud. As he pressed down, Rory cried out. Her release ripping from her body.
Anthony grunted, spilling his seed inside her womb.
Collapsing, he rolled over and tugged her against his side, “We can make this work.”
“I need to talk to her, Anthony. She thought we weren’t together anymore. She may never forgive me.”
“It will work itself out. Now…” Anthony pressed a kiss to her head, “We need to figure out when to get married. Constable Philips thinks it needs to be as soon as possible. You should probably tell your mother.”
“My mother will be ecstatic. She wanted this, after all.”
“I hear it in your voice, Rory. This is the right thing to do.”
“I know, I just feel guilty, Anthony. You know I don’t just love you. The letter was right. My heart is divided.”
