“Rio.” His name is a whimper on my lips.
I close my eyes, blocking out the view of the ceiling above us. I don’t want to think about where we are right now, the circumstances that brought us back together. My need is too great, too urgent.
Think later, my brain whispers. Feelnow.
And I do. Every stroke, every touch, every lick as he laps at my juices and brings me to the brink of an orgasm with his clever tongue and fingers.
Then he’s gone, cool air between my legs replacing his hot breath and mouth. I open my eyes and lift my head, wanting him back. Wanting the mindless sensations that his presence ignites in my body.
He hasn’t gone far. He is standing at the side of the bed, staring down at me. His eyes are dark and unreadable, his mouth shiny with my juices.
“Come back, Rio. Make love to me, please. I need you.Allof you.” I reach for his trousers, intending to unbutton and release his obviously erect organ.
But he takes a small step backward, just out of my reach.
“What…?”
“You are mine, Bianca.Mine. Never forget that.”
I struggle up to sitting, not sure what he needs from me. “And I’m yours. I’ve always been yours, since the moment we met.”
But still he doesn’t come back to me. “When you ran, you tore my heart to shreds. No one has ever held that level of power or control over me, Bianca.No one.”
His expression changes instantly from unreadable to pain-filled.
Pain-filled, and edged with fury.
“I wanted to kill you when you left. Did you know that, dear wife?”
Okay, this isn’t going the way I expected. There’s something riding him that wasn’t there moments earlier. Something dark and inherently dangerous.
This is the “something” I ran from.
I bring my knees up toward my chest and wrap my arms around them. I move slowly, my heart rate catapulting into overdrive. I don’t want to do anything to spook the beast.
“I guessed it would be like that,” I whisper. “I’m sorry, Rio. Truly I am. I genuinely thought my decision was for the best.”
I shrink down, trying to make myself smaller, hardly breathing at all. I want to seem less of a target for whatever darkness is driving him.
We remain like that for several seconds, unmoving, until he blinks a few times and shakes his head.
His shoulders drop slightly. “I have tried not to let you witness it, Bianca. There is a darkness in me…”
“I know.” My heart is still pounding from the adrenaline rush born of terror, but the angst in his expression is real, and it hurts me to see it. “It’s okay. I already know. And I still love you.”
It’snotokay. Not in any way. But right now, it seems important for him to hear otherwise.
“I need you, Bianca. I need…” His voice is hoarse, rough, and there’s a sudden uncertainty in his expression that I’ve never seen before.
I could roll away, justifiably so given the terror that still races through my body. But if I do that—if I reject him in this moment—it may mean something more than either one of us can fully understand. And it may have deadly consequences.
I reach out a hand toward him, noting the trembling in my fingers. “Come here, Rio. Come to me. I need you, too. Please.”
He steps forward, and allows me to unbutton and release his cock. He doesn’t remove any other part of his clothing. Then he lunges forward, onto the bed, kneeling over me and pinning my hands above my head before I can suck in a breath.
His eyes are dark pools of emotion. So many emotions swirling in their depths. His mouth is set, and he’s obviously fighting to remain in control. “I need to be inside you. You aremine.”
His hands release mine to explore all over me, stroking my breasts, my stomach, my hips, and down to my mound in a frenzied manner. I can’t keep up with his touch. It’s like he needs to claim every inch of me as his, so I lie there and let him do what he needs.
