“Ugh,” I groan, turning on the faucet and splashing my clammy face with cold water.
“Ocean, honey, are you okay?” Macy’s voice startles me out of my thoughts.
Straightening, I clear my throat. “Yes. Fine, thank you. I’ll be right out.”
Grabbing some paper towels, I pat my face dry before taking a deep breath and stepping outside. Macy stands in the hallway, concern marring her features. “You okay honey? You look a bit pale.”
I smile. “I’m fine. I just needed a five-minute breather.”
She nods. “Well, if you ever want to talk about it, I’ve been told that I’m a very good listener.”
Laughing, I wave her off. “Noted. But honestly, I’m okay. I’m a little overwhelmed with things…” I trail off, as I think of how to phrase my next words. Something tells me not to discuss Nico with his employees. “All I mean is, I have some things going on, and it’s making me feel a little exhausted trying to keep up with it all. But I will be okay. Promise.” I smile, hoping my words sound genuine.
A worried expression appears on her face. She searches mine. “I know it’s none of my business, and I would never overstep, but just be careful with Nico. He’s…” she trails off.“Well, let’s just say, that he is a very powerful man. I don’t want to see you get hurt.”
I nod, though her words spike a little fear inside me. “Thank you for looking out for me Macy,” I say honestly, not wanting to delve into any more conversation with her.
Shooting me a sincere smile, she turns on her heels and sashays back down the hallway to the reception area.
I watch as she disappears, and then, sagging against the wall, I blow out a breath. If I were a smarter girl, I would take note of Macy’s warning, but something tells me it’s already too late.
I’m in too deep and at this point, I don’t think there is any way out.

My body spins as I move into a pirouette. I turn, moving to the music before slowing down to my ending position. My eyes are closed, a smile gracing my lips when I come to a complete stop. This. This is what I needed to clear out the chaos in my head.
Slow clapping sounds make me startle. My eyes snap open to find Nico leaning against the wall, so big and powerful as he watches me, like a predator about to devour his prey. Chest heaving, I stare at him. “What are you doing here?” I frown when something else hits me. “And how the hell did you know where I was?” Just like how he found me at that bar with Leo. My eyes widen. “Do you have someone following me?” Nico can’t be doing it himself. He is much too busy for that.
Pushing off the wall, he stalks toward me. My breaths come in thick and fast, waiting for his answer and wanting to know what he is going to do next. He comes to a stop in front of me. My gaze meets his chest, taking in the way the white dress shirtstretches across his pecs, molding to him perfectly. I lick my lips. Why does he have to be so hot? Raising my chin, my eyes clash with his. Blue on blue.
“Yes.” He admits without shame.
“What? Why?” I snap, shooting him a glower.
Gripping my chin, he lowers his head until it’s level with mine. “To keep you safe. To keepmysanity. I need to know where you are at all times.”
I gasp at his honesty, trying to take a step back from him but he doesn’t allow it. Of course, he doesn’t. If there’s one thing Nico Marchetti does with confidence most can only dream of, it is step over every boundary in his way as if it never existed. Nothing will stand in the way of him getting what he wants and right now that’s me.
“Nico,” I shake my head, stunned by his frankness. “Why me?” I blurt, unable to hold back the question that’s been driving my insecurity.
Cocking his head, he stares at me intently for a long beat. His gaze rakes over my face, taking me all in and making me feel exposed. And then he speaks, stealing all the air from my lungs. “From the moment I saw you, I knew you were mine. You don’t even realize the effect you have on men, do you? You are innocence and sex all rolled into one. And you are so exquisite it fucking hurts to look at you. Your beauty alone makes me lose my goddamn mind. You’re the most breathtaking woman I have ever laid eyes on, and you aremine. I was the first man to be insidemypussy,” he cups my sex as if to prove his point. “And I will be the last. The only.” He finishes, his lips brushing mine.
My heart pounds at his words. That something so honest, raw and vulnerable could come from a man like Nico. And what’s even more shocking is that it’s all aimed at me.
“You could have anyone,” I say weakly.
His lips tip up in a smirk and he leans in. “But I want you.” His hot breath hits my ear, making me shiver. Pulling back, he lifts me into his arms. My breath hitches, my legs circling his trim waist on their own volition. He smirks, turning and striding toward the bar that sits against the far side of the studio. “I’ve had enough of your insecurities, Ocean. I won’t discuss this again. All you need to know is that you are mine and I will never let you go. Not ever.”
Dropping me onto the bar, he reaches down, pulling my leotard to the side. I gasp when he grips my tights, tearing a hole in them. Panic slithers through my veins when I realize his intentions and I slam my palms on his chest, trying to shove him away. “No Nico. Elenore is still here.” I hiss.
Gripping my hands in one of his, with his free hand, he releases his cock before pulling my panties to the side. “Don’t care. Now be a good girl and watch as I own your perfect cunt.” With that he slams into me. I cry out, my back arching at the intrusion. Though looking at Nico alone arouses me, I need to be prepped properly to take him with ease.
“Fuck,” he grits out through clenched teeth. “So fucking tight.”
“Oh my God.” I whimper, nails clawing at his back.
His expression darkens. Leaning in, his lips brush my ear. “No, baby.Oh, my Nico. I am your god. Yourfuckingreligion. Your everything. And the only man you will ever worship, pray to, or get on your knees for. I own you,Tesoro. Every inch of you.” He growls out, his thrusts picking up speed. I swallow, holding on for dear life as his words sink in. His gaze drops to where we are joined. I follow his line of sight, staring in awe as he thrusts in and out of my body, stretching me,owning me. “Look at your tight little cunt taking my cock so good. You and this pussy were made for me,Tesoro,and only me.”
