I need him.

He keeps kissing me and tugging on my clothes, and it doesn’t take long for us to end up naked on the bed. I climb on top of him. He’s always so generous with me. It’s time to return the favor, especially when he’s hurting.

I lower myself down his body, leaving gentle kisses all over his chest and stomach. His breath comes out in small gasps as I lick my way down to his cock.

He’s already rock hard when I run my fingers over him. A smile spreads across my lips before I bend my head and take him into my mouth.

He groans as I trail my tongue around him. I keep my gaze on him as I suck and lick him as if he’s my favorite ice cream. The sounds he makes and the blissful look in his eyes make me even more aroused.

I let go of him, pushing myself up and rubbing my pussy against him. He hisses, reaching out for me.

I position myself over him and then slide myself onto his thick length. We both groan as I start rocking my hips. He grips my thighs, thrusting into me.

Our sighs and moans of pleasure fill the air as our movements quicken. My gaze finds his. It’s incredible. Being with him feels incredible.

Finding love in this life seemed impossible to me, especially because I had to think about my family, but everything is different now.

I think I found it. I think I found my soul mate. He’s been around me and in my life for a long time, and things could’ve gone so very wrong. But they didn’t. We were made for each other. Always meant to be. We just didn’t know it.

I slam myself down on his cock over and over again until pleasure erupts through me. We both cry out at the same time, our bodies locked together. My whole body throbs as I collapse on top of him, and he wraps his arms around me.

I look into his eyes, and we both smile.

I’m happy. I’m finally really, really happy. My body is completely relaxed, and the only thing I can focus on is Salvatore.

Everything is better when I’m in his arms, and I don’t want to leave his embrace. It’s my little sanctuary. My paradise.

CHAPTER21

Salvatore

Adriana is finishing her breakfast—orlunch, or whatever the fuck it is since we overslept—and I’m about to return to her room when I hear Cesare’s voice.

“I did my part,” he says. “Yeah, they’re in love. It’s painfully obvious. Now where’s the info you promised me?”

I can’t hear what the person on the other end of the line says, so I have no idea what it is about, but I suspect it’s about Adriana and me.

“Okay.” It’s all Cesare says.

“What’s going on?” Adriana whispers behind my back, startling me.

“Your brother,” I say. “He was just talking to someone. About us, I think.”

We still don’t know how he found out about our fake engagement, which just might turn into a real engagement eventually. Adriana totally changed my mind about marriage and commitment. I would love to make her mine in every way possible, including putting a ring on her finger.

Cesare starts toward us, and a smile pops up on his face. “Why are you two lovebirds staring at me like that? Planning to kill me or something?”

“How did you find out about us? Who told you?” Adriana steps forward.

“Someone tipped me off.” He grins. “I agreed to do something in exchange for certain information.”

“Did you send the drone?” Adriana tilts her head at him.

“A drone?” His eyebrows shoot up. “Nope.”

“Who is thatsomeoneyou’re talking about?” I ask. “Who made a deal with you?”

“Sorry. I can’t tell you that. Keeping their identity a secret was part of the deal.”
