He had really taken me.
Claimed me.
And there was no going back.
Groaning, Gianni shifted and then rolled off me. “Goddamn it. Now I want to sleep, but we have so much to do.”
I understood how he felt too.
I was surely spent myself.
He released my wrists from the belt that had held me captive, and I immediately brought my hands down to my sides, rubbing at the sore spots where the leather had bitten into my skin.
Then, he rolled onto his back and closed his eyes. “Do you understand now?”
“I’m yours.”
“Always.”
“Yes.” I went to my side, got on him, and rested my head on his chest. “However. . .that doesn’t mean I can’t be in the ballet.”
“What?”
“It just means that we have tocompromise.”
This annoyed groan left him. “Princess.”
“Ballet is my passion.”
“Iam now your passion.”
“You both are my passion. Stop being jealous.”
His voice rose with anger. “You will not dance in that ballet!”
I sat up and my body felt sore. “When your cock is out, you can be my daddy, but when it is back in your pants, you are Gianni the stubborn devil, the one that needs tocompromise.”
He now had his eyes open as he watched me. “You must understand that I will not let anyone else see you dance. It’s too good. You are fucking enchanting on the stage—”
“That is no excuse to—”
“I don’t need a fucking excuse!” He glared and then lowered his voice. “Okay. I’m sorry for yelling, but. . .you can dance on the stage behind our castle. It will be fully constructed in a few days. If you want, I can rush them to—”
“I don’t give a damn when that stage will be constructed. I would only use it to rehearse on and regardless I want to be in the ballet.”
It was his turn to sit up and glare at me. “We’re done with this conversation, my little bratty princess.”
I raised my voice. “I am yourqueenright now because this is outside shit!”
He sneered.
I shivered but did my best to keep the confidence in my voice. “And we’re not done with this conversation.”
“We are.”
“I am not one of your men.”
He glanced down at my exposed breasts. “I understand that more than you know.”
