He’s all around me. Slamming in and out of me.
“Your fucking mine, Ella,” I hear him rasp. “This body. This heart. This soul. Do you understand?”
Three years fades to nothing. It’s so familiar the way his body’s moving inside me. He’s the only man I’ve ever loved and lost. My first and my last.
He comes as hard as he fucks, his cock jerking violently, and when he slows, each measured stroke feels strangely intimate for a man like him.
“I have to go,” he murmurs into my hair.
“I know you do.”
I could beg him to stay, but he won’t. We’ve progressed to secret moments now, but it’s better than no moments at all.
Our mouths find each other again just as Sam bangs loudly on the door.
“Place is swept. No sign of an intruder. Carrera’s pissed. You’re late for his meeting. Told me to tell you that it didn’t end so well for the last person who stood him up. And your dog just crapped all over the hallway.”
“You have a dog?” I gasp.
“Long story. Tell Carrera to go fuck himself,” he roars back at Sam.
“Is that a direct quote?”
“Your clothes…” I glance at the ruined suit on the floor. “And mine,” I add with a wince.
“Phone your sister. Tell them you’ll be an hour late. Your new boss is working you too hard.” He looks dangerously close to a smile then, the golden flecks in his dark eyes dancing like flames. “There’s a designer boutique atHelios.I’ll get them to courier over a selection now.”

When the callcame in from Antonio I was on my way to another fractious meeting withDon Russo. The second he mentioned the dress, I was U-turning across four lanes of heavy crosstown traffic, and not giving a fuck about the vehicular bloodbath I was leaving in my wake.
I only had one focus.
The same focus I’ve had since I was eleven years old.
Keeping Ella safe from harm, and safe from me.
Earlier that evening, I’d checked the GPS coordinates on the tracker that the ever-accommodating Dr. Bailey had inserted into her arm yesterday. That little favor had earned her kids two college educations to an Ivy League of their choice. Ella went straight to her apartment after work, but my piece of mind disintegrated somewhere between Madison Avenue and 79thStreet. I cut a twenty minute journey in half, screeching the Ferrari to a halt outside her apartment block as four black SUVs pulled up with Sam and the rest of mymen.
I’d been waiting for a sign fromEl Alquimistathat war was imminent, but in targeting Ella directly, he’s just fired the first shot. Now, I need to figure out if he did so because of her last name, or because he’s discovered she’s my whole fucking universe.
If it’s the latter, I have a rat in my organization who needs to be exterminated.
Easing out of her swollen pussy, I hold her legs open as her eyelids flicker with exhaustion. I’m waiting for the moment my cum starts leaking out of her so I can push it back inside. As far as I’m concerned, it stays right where it belongs.
Once satisfied, I pull on my wet pants and shirt, keeping my back turned to Ella the whole time. There are new things carved into my chest that I’m not ready to show her yet.
“Mi Cielo.” I bend down to kiss her head, inhaling her scent and holding it deep in my chest before straightening up. “Grab whatever hair and make-up stuff you need and go get ready in the spare room.”
“I thought you said I didn’t need it,” she says sleepily, forcing her eyes to open, but they're half-lidded and unfocused.
“You don’t. I’m being magnanimous after you made me come so hard I’m still aching.”
Her lips curve into a secret smile as I tuck a blue throw around her naked body. “Three run-ins in one day. You could almost call us a bad habit.”
“Stop flirting with dangerous men,” I warn, scooping her up in my arms again. “It leads to dangerous things.”
