“You’re sending me away?”
“Yes.”
“What about my father? My friends?”
“I can have them moved as well if it would make you happy.”
What on earth? No man should have that kind of power.
Everleigh snickered. “Right. Why though? You have no more need for me?”
“Because if something happens to you…”
“So, the best solution is to send me away. Will I still be married to you?”
“You will be married to me for the rest of your fucking life. How many times do I have to say that.”
“No, I get it. Thank you, but no. If you don’t want to see anymore now that you have my land, don’t bother with the task of making me disappear. I can do that all by myself. You won’t ever see me again. Do you like me? Even just a little?” She didn’t know why she had asked that stupid question. It made her seem pathetic.
In answer, he clenched his jaw. At least he saved her the indignity of him lying.
“Well, for some crazy, obscure reason, I… I do. I actually… stupidly fell in love with you. Who does that right? Me, stupid me. But I’ll get over it.” Why was she still opening her mouth and blurting out truths that didn’t mean a thing to him?
“And that time on the ship, when I let you fuck me, I just wanted to get rid of my virginity. Which was really the purpose of the cruise, so again thank you.”
She knew she was being flippant to cover up her hurt. Yes, she wasn’t above losing her virginity to a stranger if the opportunity came her way on this cruise. She just didn’t think she would be losing it to her husband.
The man she had silently loved for three long years and told herself she was just fantasizing about him, nothing more. Would she have gone through the process of losing her virginity if it had been any other man? No. She didn’t lie to herself about things like that. Because if she couldn’t have Parker, no other man would suffice.
“We both got what we wanted. Now that I have the experience of what a man can do for me, I can’t wait to try a few more. Goodbye, Parker Knight Enjoy the land, and thanks again for the lesson in fucking.”
Before she broke down completely, she marched from the room, certain she would develop brute force to move him out of her way if he didn’t budge. Her life depended on it. H
She had just admitted she fell in love with him. She couldn’t go any lower than that if she tried.
But leaving was never going to be easy.
He yanked her to him and shoved her against the wall. His minty breath hissed in her ear as he pressed into her, his cock already concrete-hard against her.
“If the cruise was to lose your virginity, then allow me to do a proper job of it.”
Chapter Eleven
Everleigh tried to fight him off, but her body had already heated up. She was already wet. He yanked up her dress, but the voluminous material frustrated him, and he resorted to ripping into it.
“Parker,” she cried. She didn’t know what he was going to do to her and yet her body didn’t care. He was touching again.
“Only your safeword will stop me,” he rasped as he spun her around to face the wall. She shut her eyes as the sound of the zip of his pants lowering echoed around her. He had already discarded his shirt in one fluid motion. His body was true magnificence.
She gasped in misery as he reached under her and dipped into her soaking wet pussy. She couldn’t understand how she had gotten wet when she was so distraught. What was wrong with her? If she asked herself that question one more time, she’d be a millionaire.
She twisted around and saw Parker using the wetness he had scooped up from her pussy to rub over his cock.
And then his head probed her asshole.
She convulsed in shock then froze in fear.
Unending thoughts of him tearing her apart rippled through her mind. He was too big. Even for her pussy and her mouth. He would be too big for her ass.
