Page 71 of Shattered Vows

“Fuck you,” I grumbled but Cade was already laughing his ass down the hallway with our niece in his arms.

I let my head fall back and closed my eyes.

It might have been minutes or hours later when I felt her slide and pull me down with her. My eyes shot open, hands at her hips immediately. Those sapphire gems sparkled in the night’s dim light as she stared at me, biting her lower lip.

“Morina,” I warned, my voice low.

“Yes?”

“Don’t tempt me,ragazza. Our marriage contract is too important for that.”

“Your cock is the thing tempting me right now, Bastian.” She arched and her ass pressed against my sweatpants. “Plus I don't think the company has to get mixed up with our pleasure. I’m too wound up and used to getting some somewhere. You think we’re just going to hold out for six months? We could…you know…just this once or twice. It’s not like we haven’t before.”

“Morina Bailey.”

This time she smiled, a mischievous languid look in her eye. She was still a mixture of subconscious sleep and reality. She’d fallen victim to what she thought the dark could hide.

“You’ll regret this in the morning.” I closed my eyes and attempted to go to sleep.

Rustling made me open my eyes again. Her hand was between her thighs, her night shirt had ridden up, and suddenly I needed to know what was under it.

“Fuck, woman,” I ground out.

She didn’t stop, just arched her back and pushed her ass into my hard dick as she rode her own hand. Her gaze, blue as the deep water, locked over her shoulder onto mine. “Bastian, please…”

She might have been lost in her own ecstasy and dark dreams but now I was lost to her, a siren of beauty in the dim light who had hooked me. I gripped her hips but she slid my two fingers into her wet pussy.

“So wet for me, Morina?” I whispered.

She gasped but didn’t answer.

“Tell me it’s for me now so I can let you come.” I needed to hear it.

“Only for you.” She turned and whimpered into my neck as I slid another finger into her. I let her ride me as I stroked her clit and she bit my neck when she got off on my hand.

When she finally came down from her high, I don’t think she wanted to lift her head to meet my gaze. I saw the blush staining her cheeks even in the dark, even though she tried to hide just below my chin.

I slowly removed my hand. “Ragazza, look at me.”

She sighed, her breath small and soft before she did.

I made sure she caught how I put the fingers that got her off in my mouth. I tasted her finish on my skin, salty and sweet and fucking perfection. “You taste divine, love. Don’t ever be ashamed of that.”

Then I kissed her forehead.

“Bastian, I…”

I shook my head, my resolve about to snap. “I’m not sleeping with you, Morina. You need to go to bed.”

“You don’t want to get off too?”

Fuck me.“I want slide in and out of you over and over again. I want you to scream my name instead of you muffling your gasps against my neck. But I need you to trust me,ragazza. Now go to bed.Please.”

With that, I closed my eyes and pulled her thigh up around me. I’d sleep as close as possible to the woman I wanted but couldn’t have.

If I tempted myself enough, maybe I’d become immune.

Maybe in the morning, I’d rethink my plan of staying here. Morina was turning into the damn storm I’d been trying to avoid.
