I bring my hand to his jaw and feel how it moves while he devours my mouth.

When he breaks the kiss and lifts his head, our eyes lock, and he fills me one last time before keeping still.

We stare at each other, and caught in a bubble created by our intense connection, I whisper, “I love you.”

Hearing Samantha tell me she loves me fills me with unbelievable happiness.

Staying buried inside her, I stare down at the woman who owns my heart and soul.

She brushes her fingers through my mussed hair, then asks, “What are you thinking about?”

“You.” The corner of my mouth lifts.

“What about me?”

I let out a chuckle. “All the hell you gave me.”

She pretends to glare at me. “You deserved it.”

“I did,” I admit.

I don’t want to pull out of her, but I have business to take care of. I press a quick kiss to her mouth before pushing myself up and climbing off the bed.

I walk into the bathroom and turn on the faucets in the tub before I clean myself.

When I head back into the bedroom, I say, “While you soak in the tub, I’ll get you something to eat.”

Samantha stretches her body and covers her mouth as she yawns. “I’m not hungry. I’ll just take a bath and get some sleep if that’s okay?”

“Of course.” I go into the walk-in closet and start to get dressed so I can deal with the fucker who tried to kill my woman.

The rage pours into me so fucking fast, I feel lightheaded for a moment.

“Are you okay?” Samantha asks from where she’s standing between the bed and the bathroom door.

“Yes.” I pull on a dress shirt and fasten the buttons, my eyes roaming over her naked body. “Baby, I really have to take care of work, and you standing there looking sexy as fuck isn’t helping.”

She walks closer to me, and wrapping her arms around my neck, she scrunches her nose. “Who needs money? We can survive on love and orgasms.”

The corner of my mouth lifts into a smirk. “I like the sound of that, but you need rest.” I press a kiss to her mouth. “Get your fuckable ass in the tub.”

She steals another kiss before I watch her sexy ass as she heads to the bathroom.

I pull on a vest, and after buttoning it, I roll up the sleeves of my dress shirt. When I’ve put on my shoes, I walk into the bathroom and grab my gun from the counter.

“I won’t be long. There are guards downstairs. If you need something, just text me, and I’ll have Milo leave it outside the door for you.”

Samantha tilts her head, her eyes filled with love as she stares at me. “Thank you for understanding me so well. Once I’ve gotten to know your guards, I think I’ll be fine with them around me.”

I move closer and wrap my hand around the back of her neck. My eyes lower to the aggressive bruises covering her skin.

“You’re safe with Milo and Marcello. They will never hurt you.”

She nods. “I’ll try to get to know them.”

“I’d appreciate it.” I press a kiss to her forehead, then turn around and leave the room.
