“For judging you so harshly when we first met. For pushing you away as I did. It caused unnecessary conflict between us that could have been avoided if I’d just accepted you.”
“It’s not just your fault, Adelina. It was my fault for bringing you to the clubhouse. It was my fault for leaving you alone with my men. It was my fault for … sleeping with another woman.”
“But I pushed you toward her. I said you could do it.”
“I know you did. But it didn’t feel right for me to do, and I don’t think you liked it either. Am I right?”
I duck my head. “No, you’re right. I hated seeing you covered in her lipstick. It was then that I realized I didn’t want you to be with anyone else.”
“What a complicated pair we are.”
“True.” I meet his gaze again. “But we’re figuring it out. And that’s what counts.”
“Let’s agree that we were both to blame for parts. But you were never at fault for what my men did to you. You need to know that, Adelina.”
“I do. I know that. And thank you.”
“For what?” he asks softly.
“For showing me that I was wrong about you.”
He sucks in a quick breath and then smiles. “I’m glad.” He glances down at his waist before smiling back at me. “You know … I could go for round two if you’re up to it.”
I just laugh as he kisses me.
CHAPTER 18
Matteo
Our honeymoon has come to an end, and I’m going to miss this hotel room where Adelina and I spent glorious days having sex. It still amazes me that she’s let herself go with me. She’s no longer afraid to be in this relationship. Nothing could be better.
Which means it’s time to take her to my home. Her new home.
She still hasn’t seen it yet. No one ever has. I bought it soon after becoming the club’s boss and kept it to myself. I didn’t want any of my men bothering me at home.
As we leave the hotel, Adelina and I hold hands. It fills my heart that she finds comfort with me. I finally got my dream girl.
“I hope you like it,” I tell her once we’re in the parking lot. I hold out a helmet for her.
She slips it on. “As long as it’s not dirty, I’m sure I won’t mind.”
“Very funny.”
She laughs as she gets on the bike behind me and wraps her arms around my waist. I glance at her legs. I’ll never tire of them. God, she’s fucking sexy. And she’s all mine.
I rev the engine, and we take off, leaving the hotel behind. I love the feel of the wind on my face as I drive my bike. It’s refreshing. It reminds me that I’m free from the pain of my childhood. That I’ve found my place in this world.
Within half an hour, we arrive at my home. I pull into the driveway and turn to look at Adelina. Her expression doesn’t disappoint. An expression of awe covers her face as she looks at my house, which is now hers, too. It’s a two-story home painted all white, which shimmers in the sunlight. It’s a very modern build situated in a nice neighborhood. The ocean is on the other side, and the views from inside are extraordinary.
“What do you think?” I ask.
Adelina takes off her helmet, her gorgeous brown hair shining around her shoulders. “It’s beautiful, Matteo.”
“Let me guess. You were expecting something similar to the clubhouse.”
Her cheeks turn red. “Maybe. But here you are, proving me wrong once again.”
“Let’s go in.” I take off my helmet, then help her off the bike. We hold hands as we go inside. Similar to the outside, everything is white and modern.
