“Well, you got rid of him, so you can find his fucking replacement,” my brother snarled before storming off. He was such a moody bastard.
After we had eaten breakfast, Cate came down and sat by the pool without my having to ask her, and she also came to all meals without being prompted by me.

That night in bed, Cate turned to me. “We can have sex if you want to,” she said tentatively.
I snapped on the lamp on my nightstand. My body was throbbing with need, and I had been hard for her before I had even got into bed, and now her proximity to me was making my balls ache and tension coil inside me.
She looked nervous as I watched her closely.
I sighed, controlling my breath as I exhaled slowly. “I want you to stop fighting me at every turn.”
“And if I do that…I can still talk to my grandmother?” Her voice was almost a plea.
I didn’t say anything for a few seconds. “If you show me that you’re not going to let memories of your old life stop you from getting on with this new life with me, then we can trial you carrying on with your job and speaking to your grandmother.”
“Okay,” she whispered.
“Do you really want sex?” I asked after a few moments of silence.
She didn’t reply.
“You can tell me the truth, Cate.”
She shook her head.
I could easily force her small body to obey me and submit to me. I would enjoy holding her thighs apart and forcing my dick into her tight pussy.
I was disappointed she didn’t want sex with me, but I wouldn’t force her.
I could tell that her body wasn’t unaffected by me. I wanted to fuck her in a raw, primal way, and I wanted to coat her pussy with my seed and make her pregnant with my child. But I wouldn’t let my darkness overcome me tonight. Not when I could tell she was still upset. I wanted her to think of her life with me differently to how she viewed her own parent’s marriage. I wanted her to trust me and know that I would look after her.
“Let’s just sleep tonight,” I said, switching off the lamp and pulling her onto my chest and wrapping my arms around her.
Despite my words, my dick was hard against her slender thigh. I knew she could feel it and the hunger within me, and I could feel the tension in her muscles as my strong arms encircled her body and grasped her firmly in my hold.
I hoped that tonight’s conversation might have reassured her, especially after what I’d done with the implant, but I could see it was going to take some time to get her to trust me.
CHAPTER 26
ALESSIO
The next day, we managed to set up the call to Cate’s grandmother.
Danio had gotten everything set up so that the call couldn’t be traced to our location in Italy. We had other homes around the world and as far as the FBI was concerned, we could be at any one of them.
I stood next to her while she talked, listening to ensure she didn’t give our location away.
“Nonna, it’s me, Cate. I’m so sorry I haven’t been able to call you before now.”
“Cate, darling, I have been so worried about you.”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t want you to worry. I wanted to call you before now, but I couldn’t.”
“Don’t worry, one of Alessio’s men came to see me to explain. I understand why you couldn’t call me, but that hasn’t stopped me from worrying.”
“I can’t say where we are…”
