“Not with you in here.”

I take her in my arms again. “You need to accept that I’m going to see you naked. I’m going to lay you down on my bed before long, and I’m going to fuck you.”

Her cheeks flush with color, and her eyes widen as I say the words. She doesn’t reply, but she doesn’t move away from me either. I walk behind her, unzipping the back of her dress.

I tease the zipper down, watching her back appear between the two sides of the fabric. Once that’s undone, I can see the top of her panties. My cock hardens in an instant.

I push the dress down to her ankles. “Step out,” I tell her.

She does as I say. All that’s left on her are her shoes and her panties. I kneel down, slipping the shoes off. From my position, I can see the outline of her pussy and my cock twitches at the sight.

I hook my fingers into the waistband, easing them down her legs until she’s naked in front of me.

I scoop her up into my arms, carrying her over to the tub. I lower her into it, trying to ignore just how soft her skin feels to my rough hands.

“Relax,” I tell her once I’ve positioned her in the tub. “You’re safe now.”

“Am I?” she replies, looking up at me with the most innocent eyes I’ve seen in my life. I refuse to look at her body. If I do, I won’t be able to resist her and I have something I need to do first.

“I will never hurt you,” I tell her. When I say it, I truly believe those words.

But the whole point of this is to cause pain. I’m supposed to be sending her back to her father when she’s pregnant with my child. I’m supposed to cause her pain and right now I can’t imagine doing it.

“You still look stressed,” I add.

“Wouldn’t you be? Let’s recap. I lost my job because my roommate lied about me. I lost the suitcase with all my possessions in because the cab driver was too scared to stop by your place for long enough to give it to me. I have no job, no house, and I nearly died in a helicopter just now. Oh, yeah, and I’m supposed to marry you and have your child because my father is such an asshole he killed your family. So what exactly do I have to help me chill out?”

“You’re safe here.”

“For how long? Until the farmer gets back and waves a shotgun in our faces?”

“I won’t let that happen.”

“I wish I had your confidence.”

She lays back in the water and closes her eyes. I scoop up her dress and underwear, carrying everything downstairs and piling it up out back.

I get undressed, adding my own clothes to the pile.

Maybe I don’t have to hurt her. Maybe I can work out a way to keep her with me. There’s no point denying I’ve got feelings for her. She’s so different to the other women I’ve had in my life. All I wanted with them was sex, but with her, I want so much more.

I can see myself married to her. I can see us having a family. Ideas for the future are in my mind that have never occurred to me before.

I set light to the pile of clothes, the heat from the flames warming my naked skin. However Piper was tracking us, he won’t be able to anymore.

Once the flames have died down, I walk back inside and find a phone. I call Alessandro. “I’ll be quick,” I tell him. “Unsecured line.”

“I’ve encrypted from this end. You’ve got five minutes at least. Where are you?”

“Not safe to say for now. Find me another safe house. The island was compromised.”

“What? How?”

“I’m not sure yet. He took out the chopper pilot, and we nearly bought it after the exhibition.”

“Shit, Marco. I can’t believe it. What happened?”

“I’ll tell you once she’s safe. I want to hit back at him. Take out as many of his businesses as we can. Start whacking his men.”
