my husband
We live together. He’s my fricking husband. A husband who wants to repair our relationship. A husband who’s shown me he’s willing to die for me.
NERO I’m in bed and drifting in and out of a fantastically explicit dream featuring my wife,
Drama
my wife. My. Fucking. Wife.
“That’s old history.” “Sunshine, history tends to repeat itself.”
Fuck it. I’ve got nothing to lose. “I’m worried I’m putting you in danger. I promised you I’d keep you safe, and this doesn’t fucking feel like me fulfilling that promise. This feels like me doing the wrong thing for selfish reasons again.”
“I can handle this. I don’t want to see you hurt, Nero.” “It’s not your job to fix my problems, Sunshine.”
My gaze drills into the cards on the table while a fantasy of putting a bullet right between Maksim’s eyes plays on repeat inside my head.
Chuckles erupt, but they’re tense. Probably because they can tell I’m contemplating murder.
MURDER
“You say one more thing about my wife, and I’ll break your neck.”
PERIOD NERO
I’ve…forgiven him. And I’m starting to trust him. I can tell that he’s trying to do right by me, even at a great personal cost.
FINALLY
“I don’t believe in fate, but I believe in my husband.
my husband’s
By now, I know Nero would never cheat on me. He was willing to die for me.
“When are you going to understand that other women don’t exist for me anymore? There’s only you. There will only ever be you.”
His eyes stay glued to my face. “It’s killing me that I can’t have you. That you won’t trust me.” I do. “That you won’t forgive me.” I already did.
God she is insufferable
“I dream of you every night, Sunshine. Of having you writhe beneath me again. I dream of your moans and the way you used to gasp my name when I buried myself deep inside of you. I dream of nipping on your perfect lips with my teeth and then kissing them better. And I dream of that moment when we’d both reach our peak and it felt like we were the only people left in this entire wretched world.”
“I’ve hurt you, so let me make it better. Let me give you pleasure to make up for the pain.”
“You belong in my bed, beautiful wife,” he murmurs. “But since you won’t come to me there, I will make you come for me right here.”
sopping pussy.
Sopping is insane
“That’s my fucking girl,”
OH YEAAHH
baby,”
my husband
Nero and I exchange a look, but strangely enough, I’m not nervous. It takes me a second to realize that it’s because…I’m with him.
He gives me a smirk. “No, Sunshine. Believe it or not, exhibitionism isn’t really my thing.”
Nero grabs the whiskey and leans against the bar. “It’s better this way. If you were wearing any less, I’d have to kill any man that looked at you, and it would turn into a whole mess.” He takes a sip of his drink. I give him a weary look. “It never fails to amaze me how casually you talk about murder.” “It’s just a part
Nero pls
“My wife’s
I used to love it when Nero held me by the throat like that…
He pulls back to look at me. “I have no clue, but have I told you that you look really fucking pretty when you turn all pink like this?”
The words rumble inside Nero’s chest. “Shit, baby. You’re already wet.”
NERO PLS
“I could take care of you so well,” he murmurs. “It pains me to see you suffer in those soaking panties.”
OH
A moan catches inside my throat. “Is being here turning you on?” “Watching you get all flustered is. You’re so worked up that you’re grinding against me.”
Maksim lifts his hand and trails a knuckle over my cheek. “What I want is one night with you.” A crater opens up inside my gut. “Wh-what?” Maksim’s eyes bore into me. “One night, Blake. Don’t you love your husband enough to do this for him?”
OH GET A FUCKING GRIP
“What the fuck did you say to my wife?”
“No amount of revenge or power is worth you putting your grubby hands on her. There is nothing you could give me, nothing you could promise, to justify a price that high.”
GET HIM NERO
“If you ever make a proposition like that to my wife again, it will be your last sentence. Do you understand?” Behind us, Blake sucks in a harsh breath. My grip tightens. “Do. You. Understand?” “Yes,” Maksim wheezes out, his face turning red.
YES NERO
What I fear is the fact that I no longer understand my wife.
“What did you think I’d say? ‘Sure, Blake. Go ahead and fuck that slimy scumbag. I’ll wait for you at home.’ Where are we? On Mars? On what fucking planet do you think that would have happened?”
Eat her up pls
If only you knew how fucking crazy Rafe is about Cleo, or the kind of relationships her sisters have with their men, you would realize that there are plenty of us who find Maksim disgusting for how he treats his wife.
“Baby—”
You’re so fucking brave, baby. And so damn good for trying to help a bastard like me.”
“But you don’t need to be brave for my sake, Sunshine.
“It was always only about you. What I want is you. If I had you… Fuck, I’d be happy doing anything Ferraro wanted me to.”
“I fucking love you.”
Duh
I press my lips to her ear and whisper, “I’m in love with you. And I know you’re not sure if you feel the same way about me because I’m not the kind of man you ever imagined yourself with.”
“But, Sunshine, the more I see you fight the feelings that are trying to burst out of you, the more determined I become. I will wait for you for however long it takes. I’d rather face your scornful looks and your righteous anger than exist in a world where you’re not mine.”
“It’s never going to be like it was. Not here.” “Believe me, I know. But I also know that as long as my heart beats, I’m going to keep trying to find a path back to you. Back to us.”
I press my forehead to hers. “You’re it for me. You are my first love. And you are my last.” She makes a choked gasp and shoves at my chest. “Damn you, Nero.” And then she crushes her lips to mine.
PLS LET HER STOP BEING DRAMA AFTER THIS
What I want is Nero—a criminal who’d die for me, who’d kill for me, who’d give up everything for me. And now there’s no use in resisting my true feelings anymore. I can simply give in to Nero and this new life.
Pls keep it like this girl
“Open your eyes,” he commands. “No more hiding from me. I won’t let you go somewhere else inside your head.”
