I’m able to free myself before he can pull me up the stairs but lose my balance and land on my ass on the third step.
“You embarrassed me!” I hiss, my cheeks flaming.
I try to stand, but he’s towering right over me, so I stay down.
“You’reembarrassed?” His sarcastic laughter echoes through the hall.
“I should be a part of that meeting, and you know it.”
“Out of all the ridiculous…”
“I helped figure all of this out. No, fuck that—Ifigured it out.” I slap my chest to emphasize the fact. “If it weren’t for me, you’d still be wondering who killed your brother.”
His jaw working hard, he bends over me, placing his hands on the step behind me. “Maybe if you weren’t such a fucking distraction, I would have figured it out sooner.”
“A distraction?”
He drops his gaze to my red lips, then farther down to where just a hint of my cleavage is revealed by the few buttons I left undone. Suddenly, I realize that what I saw in his gaze when I entered the study wasn’t anger.
It was lust.
“Luca, I—” My words are cut off when his mouth crashes onto mine in a savage kiss.
Instantly, my body responds, not caring one bit what my brain has to say. When he slides his palm between us and cups my bare pussy, we both groan. I’m already hot. Already so wet.
Like a madman, he tears at his zipper, freeing himself only a moment before he’s inside me. Then he’s pounding into me, there on the stairs, his lips on mine.
It’s a hard and fast fuck that digs the sharp edges of the steps into my back, threatening to snap my spine in two. But all that matters is the way he stretches me and touches every part of me with each thrust.
I’m no fool. I know what this is. It’s a display of power for the benefit of everyone in the house.
To the men, it says,She’s mine. I can fuck her wherever and whenever I want.
To me, it says,You’re mine to do with as I please. I will fuck you wherever and whenever because I can. And if you disobey me, I will.
The sobering thought is like a bucket of cold water, yet it’s not enough to cool the fire he sets inside me. I break the kiss and bury my face into the crook of his neck.
And I let him fuck me. Aware that the ruthless men seated on the other side of the wall know what he’s doing to me. Hating myself because, in spite of it all, I like it.
I come with a cry and cling to him until he reaches his climax and pumps his mark inside me.
He pulls his head from me and peers into my eyes. “If you ever wear this again, I’ll fuck you where you stand, regardless of who sees.”
Finally, my brain clears enough to make room for some sense.
“Stop with your threats!” I shove him off and get up. “If you want, we can just get it done right now.”
Luca rises to his feet and zips himself in. “Don’t tempt me, brat,” he growls.
“Luca!” Ray’s voice booms from the doorway to the study.
We both turn to him as he comes out, his expression full of rage focused solely on me.
“You! You’re not Alma.”
My heart leaps to my throat as he moves toward me, his arm outstretched, fingers clawed as if he intends to strangle me.
To my surprise, Luca sweeps me behind him protectively. He’s a wall of muscle and brawn, an unyielding shield.
