Afraid that I might say something that I’d surely regret, I bit my lip.

“You’re mine,il mio cuore,”he insisted, his hips moving faster. “You are fucking mine.”

Myhips started pushing back, my body pulling him in deeper. Though he was filling me up completely, he was purposely dragging my pleasure out, refusing to give me what I needed. Nero was edging me, and I recognized it for the powerplay that it was. Though he genuinely had no cause to ever feel jealous, he’d admitted to feeling that way earlier, and this was my punishment for daring to make him feel that way.

“Nero, please…”

“Please, what?” hedemanded. “Tell me what you need, baby.”

“I need you,” I choked out, hating that I did. I didn’t want to needanythingfrom him, but I needed him for this. I’d never had a man make my body sing like this before, and it was an addicting feeling.

“You’ve got me,il mio cuore,”he grunted, his thrusts quickening. “Only you.”

As that familiar feeling of ecstasy began building deep in my core, my legs locked around Nero’s waist, my fingernails broke the skin on his back, and then I came hard enough to see white spots dance behind my eyes, my entire body shaking with a release so powerful that I feared the truth of just how much I cared about this man that didn’t deserve anything from me.

“Nero…”I cried out as another orgasm shook me, my body trembling deliciously.

“I love you,il mio cuore,”he growled as I came all over him. “I have always fucking loved you, Kasen.”

I let out another cry, “Nero, don’t stop…”

“It’s always been you,” he snarled, his cock hitting me deep enough to hurt. No longerconcerned about being careful with my body, Nero was fucking me hard and ruthlessly, ready to cum. “It’s always been you, baby.”

My body was useless by the time that Nero came inside me with a roar of ownership. He came inside me hard enough to hurt, but it also felt incredible. The entire experience was enough to knock me out for the rest of the night, but I knew that I might not get that chance. Nero had something to prove, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he spent all night trying to prove it.

When Nero finally began softening inside me, it was only then that he pulled out, laying down next to me, pulling me into his arms while still being mindful of my bullet wound. I felt weary and confused, and I prayed that he didn’t mention what he’d said earlier. I was too tired to deal with something that heavy right now. There was no way that Nero could be in love with me, no matter what he’d said.

Right?

Just as I was about tofall asleep, Nero said, “As much as I’d like to spend all night in bed with you, I have a meeting that I need to attend.

Accepting of this lifestyle, I wasn’t surprised that he had to leave. I’d been raised seeing my father get up and disappear constantly, so I wasn’t taking this personal. However, when I went to roll over and free myself from him, Nero’s arm tightened around me.

“Not so fast,il mio cuore.”

“I’m tired, Nero,”I sighed. “Go do what you have to do.”

He letout a sigh of his own. “I will meet you for breakfast,” he said, though I knew it for the order that it was. “Get some rest.”

As soon as hegot out of bed, I rolled over, got comfortable, then fell asleep to the sound of his voice telling me that he loved me again.

Chapter 35

Nero~

As soon as I walked into the restaurant, I spotted Declan O’Brien at a table in the back corner. After putting Kasenback to sleep, I had called Morocco to find O’Brien for me. It hadn’t worried me that I’d have to meet him on his territory because Declan knew me well enough to be expecting me. He also wasn’t a threat to me, not so soon after what just happened.

Declan inclined his head in a polite invitation to sit down, and as soon as my ass hit the chair, I got straight to the point. “What do you want with my wife, O’Brien?”

“Nothing,” he answered, a small smirk playing on his lips. “It was pure curiosity.”

“What was?”

“Before you wiped out the Germans, they’d beentalking about your wife,” he elaborated. “I guess she made quite the impression when she beat and killed Ryan Buckner. Instead of becoming hysterical, or acting like a wounded bird, she beat and killed a man with a bullet in her arm.” He shrugged a shoulder. “I was curious.”

Even if I hadn’t planned on wipingout all of those sonsofbitches, I would have done it for their loose lips. The last thing that anyone needed to be doing was talking about how my wife had murdered a man that was going to be aired as a missing person soon. While I had enough police in my pocket to ensure that nothing would ever come of the rumors, people still needed to stop talking about my wife.

“That’s not how this works, O’Brien,” I reminded him.
