My body belonged to him. He’d claimed me. He’d staked me and conquered me and won me. As he fucked me deeply on that pristine hotel bed, I knew that I’d never belong to another man for the rest of my life. I belonged to Alessio Amoruso exclusively…whether or not he felt the same way about me, it didn’t matter. I was his forever, and I felt it in my bones.
Alessio yanked my head savagely forward and kissed me deeply. He shoved his tongue in my mouth, mimicking his cock’s savage thrusts as he licked and suckled every inch of my wet flesh. My pussy was swollen and aching but my clit was bursting with pleasure. As I moaned loudly, something delicious snapped in my lower belly and my orgasm began to wash over my head like a powerful gust. As my body clenched and tightened beneath Alessio’s, I grunted and whimpered. Hot tears spilled down my cheeks. Alessio thrust harder and harder, and grit his teeth with pleasure. As my pussy clenched his cock with the force of my orgasm, I finally felt his cock begin to spasm and twitch and gush cum inside of my waiting body.
“You’re mine,” Alessio grunted in my ear as he came. “You belong to me.”
“Yes,” I whimpered softly. “I do.”
Chapter Nineteen
Beth
I couldn’t believe that I actually fell asleep in the Plaza Hotel, snuggled up with Alessio like he was my longtime boyfriend. The sex had been so perfect, so hot, that I hadn’t been able to move when we’d finished. And to my shock, Alessio hadn’t kicked me out. Instead, he’d ordered lobster mac and cheese and a bottle of champagne from room service. We’d stayed up all night, laughing at the cheesy soft-core porn movies on late-night HBO. I hated to admit it, but it was so easy to have fun with Alessio. I never would have expected someone as intense as him to be so relaxed, but then again, I never would have expected to fall in love with anyone ever again.
I was in a real bad situation, and I had no idea what I was going to go.
In the morning, I kissed Alessio for a long time at the door before he left me go. He was standing with just a white towel wrapped around his neat, muscled waist and the sight of him was making me wet again. The truth was, I was so sore from the night before that I had no idea whether or not I could perform again. Alessio knew exactly what to do to satisfy me and turn me on.
I’d never thought sex could actually be that good.
As I walked home, I was so happy that I felt like I was floating above the pavement. The warm streak from the previous day had turned chill and rainy, but I didn’t mind. If anything, it made me feel closer to Alessio than ever before. I knew that what I was feeling for him was real…but I had no idea whether or
not he felt the same way.
It wasn’t just the sex. Alessio had really tried hard to show me that he was changing. In addition to volunteering at the homeless shelter and food pantry, he was also donating money to charity groups all over the city. He even donated two million dollars to a charity that helped little kids with cancer get wigs during chemotherapy.
It was like he knew all the right roads to my heart…and he was choosing to take all of them at once.
I had no idea what I was going to do when it came time for his trial. What could I possibly say to Detective Aberson? It was a crime to refuse to testify – I could even go to jail myself.
But would I be able to betray the man that I was slowly falling in love with?
It was so hard to believe that in six months, my whole life had changed so drastically. When I thought of the timid little Beth Wilson who had planned on marrying Michael Bennett, it didn’t even seem like me. And knowing that had Michael lived, we’d be married by now was really upsetting. It wasn’t upsetting because that was what I still wanted. It was upsetting because I caught myself thinking more than once that a divorce wouldn’t be so awful.
By the time I got home, I was feeling anxious and worried. Alessio wasn’t the kind of guy who talked about his feelings, but I was dying to know what he thought of me. Did he still think I was some stupid, spoiled, silly little girl? Was he only wooing me so that I wouldn’t testify when the time came?
And what would happen after the trial? Would Alessio revert to his awful ways, and break my heart?
Heather was in the kitchen making breakfast when I walked in. When she saw my rumpled clothes, she gasped.
“Oh my god, I thought you’d already left for work,” she said. She smiled slyly. “But I can tell you were working on something else.”
“Ha, ha,” I said dryly. “Spare me the humor, please.”
“What happened?” Heather poured me a mug of coffee with cream and sugar and passed it over. I took a long deep breath and a big swallow before answering.
“I had to go to the police station yesterday,” I said solemnly. I shook my head and my eyes filled with nervous tears. “Aberson doesn’t believe me, I can totally tell.”
Heather raised her eyebrows. “Well, it would probably be pretty hard if you get picked up by the very man you claim to hate,” she said calmly. “I assume you were with him last night?”
I nodded. “We stayed at the Plaza.” I blushed. “We…we ordered room service and watched stupid movies all night.”
Heather snickered. “I bet you watched a lot of movies,” she said. “Didn’t have sex, did you?”
I blushed hotly. “I did,” I said. I moaned and buried my face in my hands. “I’m so sick of feeling like this!” I whined loudly. “I can’t decide whether I’m upset or happy or falling in love.” I shook my head. “It’s like I always have butterflies, but then I’m also dealing with a million other ways to feel.”
Heather nodded. She reached for the remote and turned on the television, flipping through channels.
“I know it’s hard,” she said soothingly. “But I promise, Beth, things really will calm down. Just trust me.”
