“My woman…” Thrust. “…likes being spanked….” Thrust. “No wonder…” Spank. “…you keep testing me.”
He can take your freedom but not your pride. Don’t break in front of them. Keep it together.
I need to keep the only weakness I have right by my side and protect it with my life. If Tess falls, I fall. If she dies, I die.
How does it feel knowing the only need I’ll have for you is your cock?”
“You can do anything you want to, little dreamer. As long as you do it by my side.”
I lower my hand to the side of her neck, and feeling her pulse, I lock eyes with her and wait. Soon enough, her heartbeat speeds up, and once it’s fluttering against my fingers, I murmur, “All it takes is one look from me to get your heart racing.” I take hold of her hand and press it to my chest so she can feel she has the same effect on me. “This is why I married you. Just by breathing, you make my heart beat faster.”
Nikolas makes me feel stronger, and damn… I’m falling for him.
“It’s time you realize you’re the most important thing in my life.” My heart kicks in my chest then sets off at a fast pace. His other hand brushes softly over the bandages around my head. “I married you because I fell in love with you.”
“I love you,” he admits again, then he chuckles, giving me an incredulous look. “One minute, I still wanted to strangle your pretty little neck, and the next,” he shakes his head, “I found myself in uncharted waters. Madly, deeply, obsessively in love with you.”
“From the moment we met, you had a hold on me I couldn’t shake. And now that I know how much it must’ve taken for you to stand your ground against me, Christ, it just makes me love you even more. You’re so fucking brave and strong, Tess.”
“Careful,” I say, my smile widening, “you’ll ruin your badass reputation if someone had to see you fussing over me like this.” Nikolas sets my brush and toiletry bag on the counter then turns to look at me. “I don’t give a fuck what people think. I’ll make a fucking fuss over my wife whenever I want to.”
“Eyes on my cock, Tess. I want you to see what the sight of your body does to me.”
“No one fucking hurts my wife and lives. No one. Do you understand?”
“It’s you and me from here on out. Together we'll rule, and together we’ll fall.” Her eyes brim with tears. “We’ll have to make sure we never fall.”
“Fuck off,” I grumble. “Bring me some feta and fresh bread.” “Now I’m doing your grocery shopping?” “Unless you want to lose your job, you are.” Again Andreas chuckles. “Only if I can stay for lunch. It’s not every day I’ll get to see you in the kitchen.” “Do you want to die?” I ask, and letting out a huff, I shut the fridge’s door. “No, but food poisoning is worth the risk.” The fucker ends the call before I can say another word.
“Let’s pray he doesn’t give us food poisoning.” Andreas winks at Tess. I slap him upside the head, then give him a glare. Gesturing to me, Andreas looks at Tess with wide eyes. “You see this? The abuse I have to deal with?”
Our enemies don’t deserve second chances.
This man who rules the Greek mafia, who’s feared by all, loves me. Me. God, I don’t know what I did to make him fall for me, but I’m so damn thankful.
“You’re my queen, Theresa. Those who are against us die.” I nod again. “No mercy.”
He’s so strong, not even my anxiety stands a chance against him.
“I’m falling in love with you, Nikolas.” I hear her emotions for me trembling in her voice. “Please don’t break my heart.” “I won’t,” I vow. “I’ll never break the one thing that means the most to me.”
Without her, life is just existing without reason or rhyme.
If I don’t make it, you stay fucking loyal to me until death. I love you, Theresa. Now and forever. I know I’m asking a fuck ton, but I swear I’ll haunt her sexy ass if she ever lets another man touch her after my death.
