“What does that even mean?” she questions.

“We will save your virginity for another day, but I have another way to set you free. Do you trust me?”

“No.”

“You will.”

I lift her off the desk forcing her legs to wrap around me tighter. I secure an arm around her waist as I spit on the fingertips of my other hand. I use that hand to smear my saliva against her asshole. She immediately tightens. Now she’s getting it.

“Relax,” I encourage. My eyes never leave hers. “Be free with me.”

My cock nudges her tight hole, and she immediately buries her head into my shoulder. “This is not right,” she says, breathing heavy again. “You just tried to drown your maid. Hell, you had a knife at my throat.”

“I never need to try anything, Aurora. I execute all intentions. I wasn’t going to kill you. I just needed them to believe I would to drill down to the truth. This is more than right. This is the start of us.”

I feel the moment she relaxes in my arms. It’s all the encouragement that I need. I push her ass down slowly onto my waiting cock. The grip is unbelievable. She bites down on my shoulder but not as an attack. She’s embracing the pain. “Arrrggggghhhh,” she cries out through her bites. She lifts her head to speak. “It burns.”

Once I’m fully seated, I pause to let her acclimate to my girth. “Pain is freedom, little bird. This is you taking some of your power back. This is you letting yourself be right here with me and not in your head.” I initiate another kiss, and this time, I lead. I devour her mouth with such passion and greed, overwhelming her senses and her overthinking this. I want to release those endorphins that have never been freed. Her tongue begins to swirl around mine. There is no turning back now.

I begin to move slowly at first. I pull out and push back in. She breaks the kiss and grabs my hair this time. Each additional stroke gets easier to penetrate as she begins to relax and let me fuck her. The feeling is incredible … so much so I know that I will be breaking my rule again.For her. Our eyes lock as I pump faster. Harder. My hands now grip both of her hips as I propel her savagely on my cock. Her eyes are hooded, but she doesn’t break eye contact.

“You really are mine now,” I inform her. “I’ve claimed you.”

She comes beautifully to my spoken promise, sending me right over the edge with her.

CHAPTER TWENTY

Aurora

Ilean over the vanity and stare at my reflection in the mirror. I look the same yet I feel different somehow. My virginity is still intact, but my innocence is not. I’m no longer pure—far from it. I just had anal sex for the first time and am unsure how to feel. It was orgasmic at the moment—liberating even. His masculinity was all-consuming, and I admit that I wanted to be devoured by him. What does that say about me? I was supposed to be playing offense. I was supposed to be leveraging my virginity. Instead, I’m this wanton woman trying to find the regret for my actions. I’m no better than Fiona. Well, except he’s hell-bent on claiming me as his own. For his own selfish reasons of course, but I don’t want to think about that. I keep telling myself no harm done. I’m still a virgin for Niccolò, and I still plan to find a way back to my family.

I pull my terry cloth robe to the side and run a finger across the thin scratch along my neck where Lennon’s blade grazed my neck. I was ready to let go. If he had ended my life, I wouldn’t have to worry about disappointing my family. My dreams for my life are not aligned with what they want for me. I haven’t spent much time in Niccolò’s presence, but the little time that I have, I deduced that he is just evil. I’m per tried of what a life with him will look like. I don’t understand how my father could give me to him. Do I matter that little to my family? Yet if I question their plan for me, I’m being disloyal. I owe them everything. It’s just hard to accept that at times. I just want to be free. However, I know that I will never be.

I stare back at my plain face, free of makeup or anything special. I examine the bruises on my hips. Lennon is a complete asshole.Raw. Calculating. Ruthless.He is unapologetically himself, and I can respect that. He is who he is without consequence, and I’m jealous of that freedom to just be. When I’m with him, I indulge in the transference. He holds the key to my gilded cage, but for the briefest of moments, I feel free too. I get to pretend that the future that awaits me doesn’t exist.

“Who hurt you, Aurora?” Lennon asks, appearing suddenly in the bathroom with me. I wasn’t expecting to see him again this soon. I need time to process the debauchery we shared in that makeshift torture chamber of his.

“You mean besides you,” I try to deflect, pointing at the bruise starting to form on my hips.

“Don’t.”

His tone is serious. Gone is the sexual deviant from thirty minutes ago.

“What do you want from me? You know I’m not going to talk about that. I can’t.”

“You can and you will, Aurora. This is not up for debate. Either tell me or I will take out your entire fucking family before they know they’re under attack.”

“Why would you threaten that? You don’t even know who’s responsible. My family isn’t just some mediocre Mafia family easily destroyed. The Valentini are feared for a reason.”

He stalks toward me and lifts me to place me on the vanity counter. I think he likes picking me up. It’s his signature move. “I give zero fucks about your family’s reputation. The Gallaghers were a force to be reckoned with before someone murdered my father. Now the world has me to contend with, and I promise I’m much worse.” He traces the bruises extending to my thigh. “They’re all to blame. Every. Single. Fucking. Family. Member,” he emphasizes.

“I didn’t tell anyone,” I say, forced to defend my family.

“It doesn’t matter. It was their job to protect you. You realize I would never let anyone hurt you once I officially claim you to the world. You will have my protection. I will protect you with all I am—something your family failed to provide.”

“That’s unfair,” I tell him. I want what he says about his irrevocable protection to be true, but not at the expense of my family.

“I will ask this one last time, Aurora. Don’t make them all pay for your silence. Who hurt you?”
