The moment Enzo had taken her, the pain had been indescribable. She had wanted it to end, and all he’d done was kiss her. She had wanted to scream at him that kisses wouldn’t take the pain away, but slowly it had ebbed, as if it hadn’t existed. Then, he’d begun to move, after she made the initial thrust.
Adele reached out to touch her lips and then moved down toward her neck, where he’d kissed. She couldn’t tell there was any difference. Yet, she felt different.
There was soreness between her thighs, but it wasn’t painful. No, it was a good ache. She shook her head, completely confused about how any of this could be good or even bad.
She was married now. Glancing down at the ring on her finger, she realized the diamond was shockingly large and very beautiful. She couldn’t help but wonder what her mother would have felt about all of this.
“If you don’t like it, I can change it,” Enzo said.
Adele looked up to see the man himself standing in the doorway. “There’s no reason to change it. I was…”
“You were what?” he asked.
“Nothing.”
He moved toward her, wrapping his arms around her waist and pressing a kiss to her neck, as if it was the most natural thing in the world, and in a way, she imagined it was. They were married now. Husband and wife.
“Tell me,” he said.
She looked at him in the reflection of the mirror and nibbled her lip, a little confused. Should she tell him? Was it silly to talk to him about her feelings?
“I was thinking about my mother,” Adele said.
“While looking at your ring?”
“It’s silly, I was just wondering what she’d think of all this.” She sighed. “I wondered, for just a second, if she wished she’d been able to marry … Hank.”
“You can call him your dad,” Enzo said.
This made her chuckle. “It’s fine. I stopped calling him that a long time ago.”
“Do you ever wonder what it might have been like for him?” Enzo asked.
Adele looked at him in the mirror. “For him?”
“Yeah, I mean, your dad clearly loved your mom, or he cared about her. I don’t know the full story about your parents, but it was enough for him to let you go.”
“And now I’m married to a man of his choosing.”
“To protect you. I know you don’t like to admit this, Adele, but he is your dad, and you are his weak link, because you were so far away.”
“What am I now?” She hated to be described as weak. Anger traveled through her, and Enzo spun her around, pushing her up against the bathroom sink. He spread her legs and she was unprepared for his palm to go straight to her pussy.
“Now, you’re my wife. That makes you untouchable. No one will mess with you because if they dare to, they’re going to have to deal with me, and trust me, no one is going to want to mess with me.”
“And why is that?” she asked, ending on a moan as he cupped her pussy. She’d put on a silk robe to go to the bathroom, and there was nothing to protect her from his wandering touch, not that she even wanted any protection.
“Because, I don’t know if you know this or not, Adele, I’m not a nice man. I’m a very bad man, and I will kill anyone who threatens to harm you. I will fuck up anyone who tries to take you from me, who even thinks about hurting you. I’ll kill them all.”
That shouldn’t arouse her, but she figured her arousal was more from him touching her pussy than saying mean things.
He pressed a finger to her clit, and she whimpered, sinking her teeth into her lip, trying to contain her sounds. Enzo moved his finger down, touching her entrance, and then sliding a single finger inside her. There was no pain. She still had an ache, but it felt so good.
“I loved how tight your pussy was, Adele. I love that I’m the only man who is ever going to know how good you are. How fucking hot you are.”
She opened her eyes and stared into his blue eyes.
He added a second finger. “And I’m going to show you how good it’s going to be between us. All you have to do is give yourself to me. Don’t fight me.”
Part of Adele wanted to fight him. She wanted to scream, but at the same time, there was a part of her that craved to explore exactly what he was willing to give her.
There was no denying that she didn’t want to be married to this man. Their paths had collided because of her father and there was no going back, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t have some fun with him. There was no promise of love, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t find their own way with each other.
