“Fuck,” I grunted, my hips thrusting forward. She was near making me cum, and I didn’t want to pop off in her mouth. “Stop. I want to be inside you when I cum, baby.”

Jerking her up, I tossed her on the bed and climbed between her thighs. Shoving them open, I buried my face between her legs and devoured her center. I craved her like a drug, like the air I breathed. I needed to consume her. Flicking my tongue across her swollen nub, I shoved two fingers inside her. Celestina cried out, her back arching off the bed at my intrusion. As I curled my fingers inside her, I plundered her soft folds with my mouth, eating her out like a man starving for life. Her body tensed, signaling the orgasm she was holding onto.

“Let it go, baby. I want to feel your pussy clench around my fingers while I swallow your sweet cream.”

My words were the trigger she needed. The wound rubber band holding her back snapped, and her scream filled the room, shattering any remnants of the wall between us. As she came down from her euphoria, I climbed onto the mattress and slammed my achingly hard cock inside her. Claiming her mouth as she cried out again, I laced our fingers together and pinned her arms above her head. Slowly, I eased back, then slammed myself back inside her. Our bodies glistened with a sheen of sweat as I marked her body with every fiber of my soul. My body burned with fire as I neared my release, but I couldn’t let go, not until she shattered around me. Burying my face in her neck, I sucked the tender flesh beneath her ear and whispered the words I knew would send her careening over the edge.

“Let go, butterfly… let me feel you explode around my cock.”

My words washed over her, and she screamed, her nails digging into my back as she cried out my name and detonated around me. Her pussy spasmed around my shaft, squeezing the life out of it. The tingling in my balls amplified as my diamond-hard rod pulsed deep inside her. It was the most explosive orgasm I’d ever felt, and as my cum filled her womb, sparks of electricity danced across my skin as I rode out the waves of pleasure deep inside her.

Our ragged breaths filled the room as I collapsed beside her, my cock slipping out and dripping with the evidence of our coupling. Snagging hold of her, I tugged her body close to mine and wrapped my arms around her.

Feathering soft kisses across her shoulders, I whispered the words I’d been holding back, afraid she’d reject the notion of forever with me.

“I’m going to marry you, Celestina—soon.”

She half turned to face me, her skin still glowing from the love we’d just shared. “Are you serious? I thought maybe you were just feeling guilty earlier when you said it.”

“I’m serious. More than anything in my life. I want you to be mine forever, butterfly.”

A smile graced her lips as her eyes filled with wetness. “Ok…”

Rolling over, she climbed on top of me and pressed her lips over mine. This kiss was filled with promise, with love, with a hope of the future we were desperately reaching out to grab. Her slender fingers reached between us as she grasped my cock, positioning it so she could slide down on it. My eyes rolled back into my head as she pressed her hands to my chest and began to move. I couldn’t get enough of her… She made me crave a life I never thought I’d have.

The moonlight filtered in, casting an ethereal glow across her smooth skin as she rocked against me. My hands gravitated to her breasts as she tossed her head back and increased her speed. I could tell she was chasing her release, desperately trying to get there. Slipping my hand between our bodies, I sought the swollen button begging for my attention. As soon as I pressed my thumb to the tiny pearl, Celestina cried out in ecstasy.

“Beckett.” My name on her lips was like a siren’s song, and I erupted deep inside her core.

Hot molten lave spurted out of my cock like a heat-seeking missile making contact with its target. Heaven and Hell collided, and I was lost in the only place I wanted to be—inside the woman who had the power to destroy me.

Collapsing against my chest, Celestina panted for air. Her body was languid against my skin as we both tried to make sense of what had just happened.

“That was…” She glanced up at me.

“Out of this world,” I replied for her, knowing nothing would ever come close to what she and I shared. “I love you, Butterfly.”

“Butterfly?” She huffed out a laugh as she drifted off to my side.

“Yes, Butterfly.” Pressing a kiss to her head as I snuggled her against my side. “You’ve emerged from your cocoon into this amazing woman, Celestina. You’re like a monarch butterfly, gracing the world with its beauty—and you’re all mine. I don’t know what I did in life to deserve you, but I’m damn sure glad I have you.”

“Will you tell me about your life?”

“It’s not pretty.” Blowing out a breath, I trace my fingers down her shoulder. “My dad was a drunk who beat my mom to death, leaving me an orphan. His family cut him off long before I was born. He died in prison not too long after I joined the Marines, hoping to be better than him… only I wound up in prison after I made a bad decision that got men on my team killed. After the inquiry was done, I was held responsible for disobeying an order and dishonorably discharged after being sentenced to prison for five years. When I got out, I had nothing. No family, no money…” My thoughts strayed to the night my life changed. “One night, I met a man who was looking for someone with particular skills… skills I possess.”

“A hitman.”

“Yes. I’m not proud of my choices, Butterfly, but they led me to you, so I won’t apologize for the man I was.”

“You’ve met my family. I have no room to talk, Beckett.” Leaning up, she pressed a kiss to my lips. “My grandfather took over from his father as the Don of an Italian mafia crime syndicate. And my father took over for him when he passed away a few years ago. When that happened, Massimo took over here… and well, we’ve seen our share of destruction.”

“Yeah, but you were born into the destruction… I chose it. Big difference. Hell, I kidnapped you because I was hired to. Which I knew was dumb because I never got close to my marks. As soon as you bolted from my car and rolled down that damn hill, I knew my life was going to change.”

“I love you, Beckett. Nothing will change that. Not your past sins, not your future ones. As long as you love me back, I’ll stand by your side until death.”

Pulling her against me, I held my future. As her breathing evened out and she fell into a peaceful sleep, I made a silent vow to find her sister and bring her home. After everything I’d done, I owed it to her and to her family.
