Alana
I wokewith the sun streaming through the open balcony doors. I stretched my arms and winced at the pain in my shoulders and ribs.
‘Morning, princess,’ I heard the soft, low rumble of Alejandro’s voice beside me and despite the pain I was in, I felt the rush of heat between my thighs.
I groaned as I rolled over to find him sitting up in bed, fully dressed and with his laptop resting on his legs.
‘Morning. What time is it?’
‘Half past eleven.’
‘What? I’ve slept for over twelve hours straight. I need to get up,’ I tried to sit up but winced in pain.
He put his computer on the bed beside him. ‘The doc gave you some strong pain meds. They’ll make you drowsy. And no, you do not need to get up. You need to stay in bed and rest. Just like the doctor told you to,’ he ordered as he reached over to the nightstand before handing me a glass of water and three pills.
‘What are these?’ I asked.
‘For the pain,’ he said as he dropped them into my hand.
I swallowed the pills with a long gulp of water and handed the glass back to him. I lay back against the pillows with a sigh. Even if I wanted to argue with him about getting out of bed, I didn’t have the energy.
‘You look so hot when you’re being bossy,’ I smiled up at him.
‘Stop it!’ he warned.
‘What? The doctor never said no sex, did he? I’m sure we could find a way to work around my injuries.’
‘Don’t tempt me, princess. Do you know how hard it’s been lying next to you all night and not being able to touch you the way I want to?’ he growled.
‘Well, yes, I felt it in pressing against my ass in the night and it wasveryhard,’ I said and then started to giggle before the effort hurt my ribs. ‘Ooow,’ I winced.
He leaned down, brushing my hair back from my face, he kissed me softly before pulling back. ‘Rest for a few days, princess. Because you are going to need it. As soon as you’re fully healed, I am going to fuck you harder and longer than we have ever fucked before. You won’t even be able to tell me what your own name is by the time I’m done with you,’ he growled against my ear and I felt a rush of wet heat.
‘Your filthy talk really isn’t helping matters here,’ I grinned at him.
‘Are your panties wet?’
‘Soaking,’ I nodded.
‘Fuck!’ he hissed as he palmed his cock through his sweatpants.
We were disturbed by a soft knocking at the door and Alejandro jumped up. ‘That will be Lucia. She’s been checking in every fifteen minutes since she woke up over an hour ago.’
I nodded. ‘She must have so many questions.’
‘Come in,’ Alejandro said and a few seconds later, Lucia’s head popped through the doorway.
‘You’re awake?’ she said softly.
‘Yes,’ I said as I shifted myself up into a seated position. ‘Come in sweetheart.’
She smiled at me and walked across the room before sitting on the bed beside me where Alejandro had been just a moment earlier. So much had happened the night before. So much had been said that neither Lucia or I had understood. We both had so many questions. But last night had been about getting home, getting checked out by the doctor, and processing the shock of being free from that terrible basement.
Alejandro pulled up the chair from the dresser and placed it beside the bed before sitting down.
‘I suppose you have a lot of questions, Lucia?’ he asked.
She nodded. ‘You said … You said Carlos was my father?’ she almost choked on the words.
