As the voices drifted away, I parted from her.
“There are always choices,” she said.
Drawing in a deep inhale, I calmed the wild pounding in my chest. “Are we going to continue to argue, Mrs. Bruno, because I’d rather have your mouth engaged in other activities. One toast before I have you in our bed.”
“Mrs. Brunoin name only. The kiss was for the two women salivating over your dick. Literally. Do you think I’d let you in my bed when you’re fucking Francesca?”
“I think I could fuck you right here, and no one would question my claim to do so.”
“Are you sure? We both know you have enemies. You don’t want to make another one.”
I banded my arm around her and propelled her toward the door.
“Let me go.” She twisted to shrug off my arm.
I held tighter. “Don’t make this difficult.”
“Allegra—” Elise chased after us.
“Give me five fucking minutes,” I snapped.
She huffed. I didn’t fucking care. Inside the house, I opened the first door I came to and propelled my wife into the library. She lunged away from me, ripped the veil from her head, and dropped it on the ground.
While taking off my suit coat, I took a step toward her. With a tug, I loosened my tie. “You’re my wife now. Are you going to deny me what I want?” I rubbed the heel of my palm across the scar on my chest.
She took two steps back from me and blew a tendril of hair from her face. “I became your wife weeks ago. That hasn’t made a difference to you. I believed you. I trusted you.”
“You lied to me!”
She was still keeping secrets from me. We were both sleeping with our enemy. Both were convinced of the other’s betrayal.
“But I never betrayed you.”
I’d grown tired of her game. I wanted her to fight with me, not against me. “Tell me who he is to you.”
“He’s everything you’re not.”
With deadly precision, she struck a fatal blow to my control. I roared, grabbed the bronzed sculpture from the corner table, and hurled it across the room. She screamed, and I lunged.
“He’s nothing to you.” I closed my fingers around her throat and forced her against the wood-paneled wall. “Why do you insist on pushing me? Is this a game to you? Do you not understand? You. Are. Mine. Every breath. Every beat of your heart. Every tear you cry. I won’t share you.”
“I never wanted anyone else.” Tears filled her eyes. “I hugged him, but I didn’t fuck him.”
My grip lightened but my gut remained coiled, the tension flowing like acid through my veins.
“But you fucked Francesca,” she spat. “You slept with her after you made promises to me. You know what you do to me, the way you touch me drives me crazy. Nothing feels as good as you, but I’d rather fuck every one of your soldiers than have your dick in me after it’s been in her.”
I stroked my fingers along her throat and cupped her jaw. With a firm grip, I held her head immobile. “One of my soldiers touches you, I’ll put a fucking bullet through their skull.”
She licked her upper lip, and her heart raced, the pulse fluttering in the column of her neck. “You might want to hire more soldiers.”
I reached into the slit of her dress. Her breath hitched, and she stared hard into my eyes.
“Or I can keep you locked in a room.” I dragged my knuckles over the blade at her thigh. “Chain you to my bed.” I grabbed the hilt and pulled the knife from the sheath. “And fuck you until there is nothing left of you or your cunt.”
She inhaled sharply as the dull edge of the blade slid along her thigh.
“Be a good girl, and don’t move.” I glanced down and slid the knife against the slit in her dress. The fabric ripped against the razor edge from her thigh to her throat. Her breasts spilled from the lace, and her belly quivered with the hiss of my breath. I scored the blade across her nipple. Pinpricks of blood dotted the line.
