“To deal with our staffing problem,” I call back over my shoulder, heading out toward the gate and taking my 45 out of the harness I’m wearing beneath my suit jacket.
* * *
I leave Luca and Ricardo to deal with the mess I made in the gatehouse, and I shower at the gym before I attempt to talk to Riley again. Watching the brains of the guard, who let Adriano through my gates, splatter the windows of his station seems to have provided me with just enough calm to face her again. So, I pull on some sweatpants, take a deep, calming breath and go to find her.
She’s sleeping on the bed when I get to her room. And I move as stealthily as I can to lie beside her. It’s been so hard refraining from taking her these past few months. She’s gotten even more beautiful since she’s been carrying my child, and now that she’s starting to show, I’m finding it impossible to stop myself from touching her. Riley doesn’t make it any easier on me, not when I know how much her body craves me. But I made a vow to myself to not compromise anything to do with this. I can’t risk anything going wrong because of me.
I slide my hand over her hip, lifting up her shirt and exposing her stomach. I hate that everything she said earlier was right. How can I think it’s okay to bring our child into a world where men like Adriano roam free and where men like me accept it? It only makes me more determined to end him as I stroke my palm over the curve of her stomach and take relief in the fact they’re both okay.
Gradually I shuffle my body closer to hers, and when my bare chest touches her back, I manage to get my arm under her head without disturbing her. Then with all that seems to matter settled in my arms, I close my eyes and allow myself to catch up on some sleep.

It’s the middle of the night when Riley disturbs me by rolling her body over and snuggling into mine. Since I’ve been sleeping in here with her, I’ve been sleeping light. I feel every movement she makes, and I’m sure I hear her every breath, too.
“I’m still mad at you,” she croaks sleepily into my chest as her leg slides over my thigh, and she makes herself comfortable against me.
“You don’t have to be anymore. You were right, and I’m gonna stop Adriano. He needs to be shut down,” I promise, planting a kiss on the top of her head.
“You mean it?” She bolts upright and turns to look at me.
“I mean it.” I nod back. “I wish I could tell you why I’ve let him get away with it for all these years. But I can’t,” I whisper resentfully.
“You could tell me anything, Raphael.” She’s looking so hurt I hate myself for not being able to fix it.
“I can tell you that nothing in this world is more important to me than you and our child.” I stroke her delicate cheek with my thumb.
“Why do you hide yourself away from me?” She moves her body, so it’s straddling mine, and it’s impossible not to get hard beneath her. But she’s so determined for an answer that she ignores it.
“I’m scared you won’t like the man I am,” I tell her honestly.
“That’s not possible. I really like you, Rafe.” She smiles a seductive little smile as she unbuttons her shirt and slides it off her shoulders. When she shuffles her body down the bed, and her hands pull at the waistline of my sweatpants with her, I allow my stiff, aching cock to bounce free. Riley watches me like a temptress as she rolls her tongue around the head of it and then takes me between her lips. I grip at the sheets and look up at the ceiling, reminding myself that I can’t fucking give in to her, no matter how badly I want to.
Her tongue starts at the base, traveling painfully slowly along my shaft before she flicks it over my tip, and she takes me inside her mouth. Her warm breath engulfs me, and she takes as much of me as she can, allowing me to feel the back of her throat. It’s been months since I’ve allowed her to touch me this way due to my lack of willpower. This is a reminder of why.
I could easily blow my load all over her tongue, and it’s taking all my concentration not to as she sucks me deep and slightly scrapes me with her teeth.
“You need to stop, Riley,” I warn her, taking a firm grip on her hair and pulling her back. I need more, and I’ve held myself back from her for far too long.
“Make me,” she teases, fluttering her lashes at me before she takes me into her mouth again.
“Don’t.” I pull her off again, my eyes threatening her with the consequences. But it’s not going to work. The consequences are what she’s been craving.
“Rafe, you can be gentle.” She slides back up my body, making sure my cock slips between those perfectly rounded tits of hers on her journey back up, and I shake my head because it’s a really bad idea.
“How about you let me control it, the same way you did the night you made me yours?” she whispers seductively in my ear before her tongue tastes my skin and makes my spine shiver. I’m starving for her. My cock’s aching from the strain of holding off, so I slide my hand up her body and rest it around her throat.
“Slowly,” I warn before nodding her permission.
Riley nods back at me and smiles victoriously before reaching between us and taking my cock in her hand. I slide my other hand into her panties and let my fingers slip between her soaked pussy lips, teasing her desperate little hole a little before I hook the lace to one side and make a clear path for my cock. She guides me closer to her, teasing herself with its thick tip before she slips it inside her, and we both moan at the relief of coming together again.
I want to kiss her lips, but I also want to watch her take what she needs from me. So that’s what I do. I watch, completely in awe, as thrill and satisfaction control all her senses, and she takes what she needs from me.
Riley’s right. I do hide myself away from her. I do it to protect her, but when it comes to this, I’ll always let her have every single part of me. I can’t hold anything back. That’s what scares me. That’s what I have to control because I can’t risk hurting them.
“You’re not hurting us,” Riley whispers like she just read my fucking mind. Taking my hand, she places it on one of her swollen tits. She forces me to squeeze it in my palm as she gently rocks her body into mine. She holds me deep inside her, letting me know she can take it and fuck, I want nothing more than to give it to her.
I lean forward to kiss her neck, allowing myself to explore her body the way I’ve wanted to for so long. Riley Hayes is like ecstasy. She makes my head spin, and she’s the high I never want to come down from. After all, she’s been through today, the upset, the fear, and her anger, this is what she needs. Me. It terrifies me to admit it, but I need her too. I’ve come to the conclusion that I really would give this woman everything. Riley is my path to becoming a better man. She’s the end to my sinful past and the start of a new one.
