We stay down there for a minute, before he propels us back up to the surface.

When we break through, I take a gulp of air and tighten my grip around his neck.

"You okay?" he asks.

"Yes, that was great. I saw the fish.”

"Want to go again?"

"Yes." I sound more excited this time.

"Ready?" he announces and down we go again.

This time, we stay a little bit longer, and I realize that my lungs were made for this. His words from before about the past being part of me feel true, as my body feels as if it did this before and doing it again is effortless.

On the third go, we stay even longer, and I even let go of his neck, managing to swim down amongst the fish. Soon, I don't need to hold on to him for as long.

We spend the rest of the time frolicking in the water as if we don't have a care in the world besides ourselves.

Just before it gets darker, we dive down once more, and when we come back up, Virgo pulls me toward him and suddenly, we both start laughing.

Nothing was funny. Neither of us said anything. The laughter comes from the joy of hanging out together.

When it subsides, he cups my face, guiding me to his lips for a tender kiss.

It's a kiss too soft and gentle for us, gentle for him, but I like this side of him.

When he pulls away from my lips, he strokes the side of my hip and brushes his nose against mine.

"I think it's time we get back to the house." His warm breath expels the cold from my skin. "I want you again."

I want to tell him I want him again, too, but instead, I kiss him.

Virgo crushes his lips to mine the moment we step off the boat.

With my legs wrapped around him, he carries me into the house and straight to bed, where he buries his hard cock inside me.

My body welcomes him as if it missed him, and pleasure courses through me in radiant possessive waves.

“Virgo…” I moan, losing myself in him again, and allowing his presence to saturate my senses.

“That’s right, wife. Say my name and know you belong to me. Always.”

Always.

The promise sounds no different to the vows we took when we became husband and wife.

I tried so hard to keep my emotions under control when it came to him, but that thing inside me kept pushing me toward him. Pushing me here.

It's the same something that sparked in my soul when I first saw him sitting in the cafe watching me. It's bloomed into this entity that has taken over my mind and body, making me crave what he gives me so much I know there’s no turning back.

I’m different from just days ago when I saw Cillian and I mentioned the possibility of wanting out of this mafia life.

Which meant leaving Virgo.

Now I can’t deny I’ve allowed him past the guarded walls I placed around my heart and mind. And I’m falling for him.
