Roman changed the angle, tilting his hips, diving deeper, and thrusting harder. “I’m not going to last.”
She watched him, seeing the strain in his neck as he tried to hold back, and Alex met his pace, thrusting her hips up toward his and feeling him go harder within her.
He growled her name. Then his cock pulsed, and she knew he was coming.
She lay beneath him, watching as the pleasure rushed through him.
At the last moment, he dropped down and slammed his lips down on hers, kissing her hard.
Roman didn’t move. His cock stayed deep within her as he kissed her.
She wrapped her legs around him, and when Roman pulled back, she smiled at him.
“Hello, Mrs. Greco,” he said.
“Hello, Mr. Greco.”
“That was amazing.”
“And I told you I was a virgin.”
“I need to learn to trust you more often.”
She giggled and shook her head. “I can’t believe we’re talking about this.”
“We’re going to need to burn the sheets,” Roman said.
“How?”
“I’ll handle it. Don’t worry.” He dropped a kiss to her lips.
“Do you want to go again?” she asked.
His cock pulsed inside her.
“You’re not sore?”
“I am a little, but I really want to do that again.” This time, she didn’t expect there to be any pain.
Roman groaned. “Why do I feel I have awakened a monster?”
“Because I think you have.”
“I don’t have a problem with that.”

“You have let the adoption process continue?” Liam asked.
“Yes.”
“And you think this is wise?”
“We can’t stop it. It has already gone through.”
Liam sighed and sat down in the chair, sipping at his scotch. He didn’t like this. “I never wanted Alex to get involved with those kids.”
“And once again, I’m sorry that she has had to. I don’t think they will ever suspect anything.”
“That those kids are the abandoned bastards of your capos?” Liam asked.
He had discovered the truth when Alex had found Stuart. It had pissed him off. He’d been tempted to allow his daughter to adopt the young kid, but when Stuart was instantly placed in the secluded home, it hadn’t taken Liam long to put two and two together. It was why he purchased the place.
At the time, Lucas and he hadn’t formed an agreement, and there was no fucking way he would put his daughter at risk. He had no choice but to take responsibility for those kids, and so, he made sure the home was secured and the necessary funding was available to them.
Finding Stuart, purchasing the house and grounds, and then funding the orphanage was what put himself and Lucas on the path to an alliance.
What he had hated was using his daughter. Alex was never supposed to be part of the bargain, but Liam and Lucas had known that any agreement between them wouldn’t be binding without putting the people they loved in place.
Alex and Roman, their firstborns. To Liam, his only child, and to Lucas, his firstborn son and precious heir.
“Be careful, Liam. I had to do what was necessary to protect them. They are Greco blood,” Lucas said.
“No, they’re no one’s blood,” Liam said. “Abandoned, left for dead, and in some cases abused. I know the backstory of all those kids.” And he had no choice but to modify the details so Alex would never know. His daughter wasn’t stupid. With the marriage and attacks, she hadn’t continued her questioning about the orphanage.
Liam knew it was only a matter of time before she discovered the truth.
He had to wonder if Roman was even aware of it. He doubted it. Roman was an interesting man. Loyal to his father, but in the past few weeks, he’d shown a loyalty to Alex, which surprised Liam.
Roman wasn’t a man easily brought down by a woman, and in the early days of their marriage, Liam truly believed he’d fucked up in getting his daughter to marry Roman. Now though, he had to wonder if he did, in fact, pick the right choice. He saw the look in Roman’s eyes. The possessiveness. It was the same within his own over his own woman. Only time would tell if Roman got this right with Alex or not.
Chapter Fifteen
Alex’s laughter was infectious. Roman held her down and began to stroke his tongue across her body, turning those giggles into sweet moans. They hadn’t left this bed since last night and had already skipped breakfast for sharing time with each other.
“That feels so good,” she said.
After sliding a hand down her body, he pressed his palm between her thighs. “How about now?” he asked.
He had already packed the blooded sheets away. For some reason, he couldn’t bring himself to completely get rid of them. Alex had never been lying to him. She was a virgin. Everything she had told him was the truth, and he knew that now.
Alex shook as he stroked his fingers across her swollen clit. Her teeth sank into her bottom lip, and she tilted her head back to release a moan. The sound filled the room, and it made him ache to be inside her. Especially when he dipped his fingers down, traced around her sweet cunt, and then plundered them inside her.
