When I finally pulled back to allow her to breathe, she clutched at my chest, clinging to me as her knees went weak. I loved how vulnerable she was in my strong arms; how she trusted me to use my strength to protect her.
I touched my forehead to hers, exchanging every breath as I issued my next decree. “We should get married in three months. Right after Stefano and Carmen’s wedding.”
I wouldn’t wait a day longer than I absolutely had to.
Her brows rose, but a smile curved her lips. “So soon?”
My next words were lighthearted, but my voice came out deep and heavy with the weight of my decision. “I don’t think your father would ever forgive me if I got you pregnant before I married you.”
Her breath caught in her throat, and a diamond tear spilled over her dark lashes, trailing down her golden cheek. “You want to have children? Are you…are you sure?”
My arms tightened to iron bands around her, binding her to me. “Surer than I’ve ever been of anything. I want to have a family with you, Marisol. With you as their mother, our children couldn’t possibly be anything but good to the core.”
She placed her delicate hand on my cheek, staring up at me with an almost worshipful light in her eyes. “You’ll be a wonderful father, Raúl. I… Thank you. Thank you for trusting me; for giving me everything I’d thought I lost.”
“I will always take care of you,” I promised. “And I’ll always take care of our family. I love you.”
I crushed my lips to hers in a brutal kiss, branding her with my love. I’d never be able to express the depth of my feeling for her with words, so I showed her in the only way I knew how: rough, possessive passion. I marked every inch of her with my domineering hands, unleashing my most savage, beastly instincts.
She shuddered and softened beneath my harsh hands, giving herself to me completely. She gave me everything I needed, and in return, I would provide her with every comfort she could ever desire. I would always protect her.
As I claimed her petite, curvy body on the damp earth, overlooking the vastness of my domain beyond the cliff that bordered our home, a sense of completion settled in my soul.
I had everything I’d never known I wanted; things I’d never dared to dream I would possess.
Marisol had vowed that she’d never leave me, but I’d never intended to let her go.
She was trapped in my arms, perfectly content in her cage. I fully possessed my sweet little lamb.
Mine forever.
Thank you for reading Ruthless Savior!
