Marco roared as his cock surged. Hot spurts of cum slicked my channel. He fucked me through his orgasm, taking the last of my strength. Unsteady, my knees buckled, but he was there, holding me, surrounding me with his strong body and tender touch.
His head tipped forward, water cascading over us, as we both gasped for breath, holding onto each other. Finally, he tilted my face and sipped my lips. “Ti amo.”I love you.
I loved him, too, with the same ruthless intensity, violently, with the ferociousness of a lion.

After the shower, I gathered clothes for Deidre. Just a pair of panties, sweatpants, and an oversized hoodie. Probably one I’d taken from Knox at some point.
Marco dressed in casual linen pants and a tunic. Heat flared within me. My husband was dangerously handsome, fearsome, and don of the Bruno family. He was a king among men. My mouth salivated.
He stared at me with hypnotic whiskey-colored irises, piercing my soul. He crossed the room on his long powerful legs, cupped my cheek with his strong, long and thick fingers, and those lips tilted at the corner.
“I’ve missed this, the way your eyes darken with passion but brighten when something feels good for you. Your eyes tell me everything.” His mouth tightened, and his eyes glistened with moisture. He glanced away, took a breath, then met my gaze again. “They told me when I broke you.”
I pulled his open hand to my mouth, then lifting my gaze to his, I kissed his palm. “I’m not broken. I’m stronger. I’ve learned what being your wife means.” I held his hand. “I know you can’t allow insubordination within the ranks, especially now. But what happens with Knox?”
Marco growled, but he squeezed my hand and sat next to me on the bed. “I’ve been considering options. I don’t know. Knox should eat my gun. He’s lured you away from your home, endangered your life, and confessed his love for you.” He stood and paced. “Fucking hell, he’s trained you with knives, tracked you, left you in that house with Byrne. You could be dead.”
I stood, sidled up behind him, and wrapped my arms around his waist. “If you’re going to make a list, I’ll tell you how many times he’s protected me, defended me, and was the only glimmer of happiness in my life.”
Shifting in front of him, I stared hard into his eyes.
“And he’s doing the same thing for Deidre. I love him, Marco. I’ll always love him.” I grazed my nails along the hard line of his jaw, combing the soft hairs of his beard. “But what I feel for him is nothing like what I feel for you. I don’t shiver at a glance from him across the room. I tremble for you.”
Stepping closer, I needed to touch more of him, to soothe the ache in my nipples and the needy clench of my pussy.
“No one has ever touched me the way you do, has ever set fire to my flesh. I dream of you. My heart bleeds for you.”
He fisted my hair and savagely claimed my mouth. He kissed me breathless. Kissed me completely. And then he smiled against my lips.
“I suppose you’ll make similar arguments regarding Timoteo?”
“Why would you punish Tim?” I sucked in a breath. Then bit my lip. Maybe he’d discovered the deleted footage, the distractions, or the stories he’d told to cover my activities.
“You require another list?”
“Um…”
“I didn’t think so.”
“I put him in an impossible position today. Without Knox, we would’ve lost Dee. Tim is loyal to you. I asked him to trust me.”
“His lies began long before tonight.”
I shook my head. “No, tonight was the first time I’ve ever asked him for help.”
“Allegra, he knew Knox’s name.”
I shook my head. “I must have let his name slip. He only helped me today because of Dee.”
Marco sighed, wrapped his arms around me, and held me close. “Perhaps you can come up with a fitting punishment for the two men who risked their lives to protect my wife.”
Relief surged through me as I grabbed Dee’s clothes. “I think working for you is punishment enough.”
“However, my little mouse, your punishment will come later when I tie you to our bed for a month.”
We crossed the hall, softly knocked, and opened the door.
