“Morning.” When I roll over, Rafe is watching over me. He licks his lips as his hand moves beneath the covers, and his finger traces the seam of my panties.
“Good morning.” I take in a deep breath as his finger slips lower, and pleasure seeps through my lace.
“I should check Gabriel.” I go to move, but he’s too fast and pins me to the bed.
“I already checked. He’s downstairs making pancakes with Nanny Sylvia. Which means I get you all to myself.”
Rafe seems tenser than usual. I know the fact I’m not pregnant yet is probably getting to him. Thankfully, Ricardo came through for me and managed to get me the pills to prevent that.
“Riley.” Rafe says my name in a whisper as he climbs on top of me, his hard cock brushing between my legs and setting my pulse racing.
“You know I’d never let you leave me.” He hooks my panties to the side and pushes inside me, and I hear myself moan at the sensation, wondering how it can feel so good.
“Yes,” I breathe, my insides clenching as I feel him fill me, and I hate myself for finding this pleasurable.
“No one, not even the devil himself, could take you from me. Especially not while there’s a chance you have my child growing inside you.” His thrusts become harder, and when I look up at him looming over me, I notice a trace of malice in his eyes.
“I don’t want to leave you, Raphael,” I assure him. The words I speak have a ring of truth about them. I don’t want to leave him. I have to leave him because of all he’s done and all the people he’s hurt. He’s not the man I thought he was, but that doesn’t mean a part of me doesn’t still love him.
“I think you lie to me.” He narrows his eyes like he’s in pain. All the heat in my body suddenly turns cold, and his hand fists my hair so tight to the pillow that I feel it tugging at my scalp.
“You talk in your sleep, Briga,” he tells me, biting at his bottom lip like he’s trying to regain control. “You called for him last night, for your brother.” His eyes scorch into mine.
“I must have been dreaming.” I make a nervous laugh, hoping he’ll buy it, and cursing myself inside for being so careless.
“I’d kill him, you know. If your brother came for you, it would be the end of his life. Do you understand that, Riley?”
I nod slowly against his restraint as he continues to fuck me painfully slowly.
“Nothing will ever keep me from you.” His words are a threat, one that makes leaving this place seem impossible. He leans his head forward, and his lips brush my ear.
“You’re mine, Riley Hayes, until death.”
His whisper travels through me, hitting my core at the same time as he pushes deep inside me, and it triggers an orgasm that attacks my body like tiny shards of glass.
I cling on to his shoulders as I ride out my pleasure against his firm body, and I feel him release too. His cum spills inside me as he groans his satisfaction into my hair and bites down hard on the pillow beneath it.
I wait a while for him to calm, my heart beating so fast he must feel my fear rattling at his chest. And when he eventually pulls back and looks at me, the hurt and frustration I see make it almost impossible to stop myself from crying.
I know he’s not a good man. I know he’s dangerous. But I’ve never doubted how much he loves me. How could I when I feel it tugging at my soul and crushing me from the inside out? He loves our son too, and despite all the bad that Raphael Verretti has done in the world, I don’t feel good about having to be the one to pull his world from under him.
“Lay there for a while. I’ll have Sylvia bring you up some breakfast.” He gives me a sad smile as he shifts off the bed. And I wonder if maybe he feels the distance growing between us. Could he already know he’s lost me, and that’s why he’s so mad?
I do as he says, turning on my side and staring at the wall. I don’t know how long I wait for Sylvia, but when she doesn’t come, I decide to get myself up and take a shower.
Moving into the bathroom, I check the coast is clear before I open the cupboard that’s built into the sink unit and feel in between the pipe work for the sachet of pills that Ricardo keeps me supplied with. Pulling them free, I check the back of the packet for today’s day and pop the pill out, placing it on my tongue.
“I didn’t know what you fancied, so I had…”
I swallow quickly and hide the pill packet behind my back when Rafe appears at the bathroom door, his eyes wide and fury all over his expression. He’s dressed now, too, looking sharp as hell in a navy suit and a crisp white shirt.
“Riley, what the fuck did you just take?” he asks rigidly, striding toward me and gripping at my throat. He reaches behind me to pry the pill packet from my trembling hand.
“Birth control.” He looks down at the packet. “You’re taking fucking birth control?” he yells at my face, his fingertips digging into my skin and making me feel like I’m going to choke.
“I…I…” I can’t give him an explanation, not without telling him everything I know.
“Who gave you these?” he asks. Crushing them in his fist and throwing them onto the floor. “Who?” he yells so loud it makes my body leap from my skin. And for the first time in as long as I can remember, I’m scared, petrified of what he might do to me.
