AXEL SALVATORE ROSSI
I’d spent all night tending to Olivia and making sure she’d regain consciousness. I couldn’t take chances— couldn’t let anything happen to her.
Viper had retreated while fuming. He felt I was losing myself for her. Felt that I was making a mistake that could not only cost me but every single one of us.
But I knew why.
I knew why I was doing this.
I’d made a terrible mistake years ago. And now, I was desperately paying for it.
I couldn’t help myself. Couldn’t find a way out of the hole I’d dug unknowingly.
Or maybe there was a way out— Ignore her completely.
“Take care of her, Rosa,” I’d given a clear instruction, making sure she’d heard me. “I don’t want to see her wandering about by herself.”
But here she was, right in front of me without Rosa, and dressed in clothing that showed her sexy figure, making me crave her pure, innocent body.
How could I ignore this?
And how could I stick to the idea of ignoring her?
I’d walked into the kitchen after my morning session in the gym, thirsty for a glass of water, only to see her slender figure hovering around the stove, confused and lost in thought.
I narrowed my gaze at her. Wasn’t she supposed to be in bed? With Rosa watching her?
I stood at the entrance of the kitchen, watching her without a word. Her wavy dark hair was wrapped in a bun— a messy one. And her silk dress appeared see-through. It was light enough for me to see her n*****s peeking out against the silky material.
And the sight f*****g made me hard.
I watched her lips, twisting, then slightly parting for her teeth to sink in. She was muttering something under her breath, and her fingers kept snapping in the air like she was trying to recall something.
My legs strode into the kitchen, my footsteps sounding light yet calculating. I craved her— in every way possible. And I wanted to feel her body and grind it against the bulge throbbing in my pants.
The fear in her eyes when she raised her gaze to me after bumping into my arms was visible. I instilled fear in her, and watching her retreat with jerky movements made me chuckle silently.
I threw on a stern countenance. “Where is Rosa?”
She hesitated for a while, obviously tracing the rising anger in my voice. I’d given Rosa a stern instruction, yet she’d ignored it.
Olivia refused to look me in the eyes. “I—I have no idea.”
Her eyelashes were batting, and I watched her fidget with her fingers. She looked so innocent, with those eyes of hers and pouted lips I’d imagined wrapped over my c**k.
“Look at me when I’m talking to you, Kitty.”
I needed to see those amber eyes of hers—a striking golden hue with a hint of yellow.
She struggled to keep her gaze steady, pushing it through several places in the space before fixing it on me— uncomfortably.
“How’re you feeling?”
I tried my best to hide the concern I felt, sounding cold and uninterested.
I watched her swallow silently before breathing the words out. “I’m… I’m fine.”
She better be fine.
I wasn’t going to pity her while I parted those sexy, straight legs of hers open.
I moved closer, grabbing her by the waist as I leaned my face in. She suppressed a gasp, totally not expecting my actions or gestures.
“You better be fine,” I breathed out on her neck, my left hand trailing down her body. “You had a free pass last night, but not for too long.”
She quivered her lips, tilting her head backward in fear. I stared into her alluring eyes, making sure she held my gaze as I allowed my hands to trail further and beneath the strapless gown she had on.
She didn’t say anything— not even a whisper.
I applauded her silently, knowing she’d paid attention to my warnings and was ready to be obedient.
I leaned further, making sure she felt my nose breathing on her skin and our noses touching. My hand grabbed her ass, squeezing it gently as I grunted in ecstasy.
I wanted her.
Wanted nothing but to make love to her and hear her moan out my name through her soft, succulent lips.
Wanted to watch her shudder as I spilled my seeds deep inside of her.
Wanted every part of her to surrender to every touch of mine.
I’d never felt this way for anyone since my last relationship.
Never felt the strong urge to own anyone.
“I could make love to you right here,” I drew the words out without warning, my fingers swirling around her n****e. “And right now.”
She stared at him with wide eyes, her mind reeling with a million thoughts. Her eyes drew me closer, and her lips… felt inviting.
I battled with myself. Tried to control myself. But it was f*****g hard.
I could kiss her.
I wanted to kiss her.
And I kissed her.
My lips brushed over hers slightly without thinking twice, tasting every bit of her. They were softer than I’d imagined in my mind and tasted like mint and citrus, refreshing in my mouth.
My hands held her firmly and then proceeded to linger all over her body, trying to touch her lips everywhere and at the same time.
She was driving me insane.
She remained stunned, not reciprocating my kiss as I nibbled her lips. I felt her hands try to touch me to hold my back closer to her— but she retreated almost immediately after I felt them.
I broke off from the kiss briefly, slightly panting as I stared deep into her eyes, my husky voice uttering in command. “Kiss me. And get ready to take all of me, right here and right now.”
I saw her eyes widen with a frozen gaze, a strained expression etched all over her face.
She was scared, I could tell.
But, the bulge in my pants was too violent to ignore. It kept throbbing between my legs, threatening to tear through my pants.
I pressed my lips over hers for the second time, shutting up the words she was trying to spill. I heard her moan inside my mouth, and it ignited a fire in me.
She made the prettiest sounds.
I pulled away from the kiss and pushed her gently against the kitchen counter, swooping her off her feet to place her on it. My hands pulled her dress over her thighs, and I noticed… She had no underwear on.
The realization fueled my desires more. And I massaged her opening, allowing my fingers to linger at her entrance, slowly teasing her. Her legs were shaky, but I held them firmly, making sure there was no chance for her to shut them close.
Her hand gripped my shoulder firmly, and the fingers on the other dug into my hair, her eyes half closed as her teeth sank deep into her lips.
I slid a finger inside her slowly, resting my gaze on her to see her expression. She sucked in her breath, her eyes still half closed as she gave a heavy gasp.
She was f*****g tight.
And wet— dripping with her juices.
Her insides felt warm and cozy, like a tight little haven that brought warmth and comfort.
She was fragile. So f*****g fragile, I knew I had to limit my energy and roughness on her.
Else, she could pass out… again.
I pulled out my finger after a few thrusts, and ran my tongue over it, tasting her juices.
I knew I wanted more after that.
My hands reached for my zipper, trying to pull off my pants.
But, a voice halted me— a familiar sound that brought back a flood of memories from the past.
A voice I never thought I’d hear again.
“Axel?”
She called my name, a mixture of surprise and shock laced in her voice. I pulled away from Olivia immediately, my eyes darting to see her standing at the entrance.
My jaw tightened, and then slowly, I forced out her name as my mind replayed every single scene from the last six years.
“Nelly?”
