Fear courses through her eyes. “Please, Matteo. Please. Don’t hurt me.”
I pause. She’s scared of me. Before it was all fun and games. Each of us messing with the other one.
Now. Adelina is truly scared I’m going to hurt her.
I stumble back.
She breathes out roughly.
“I …” I don’t know what to say.
“Just go,” she spits out. “If you’re so intent on keeping me here, then do that. But I don’t want to look at you a moment longer.”
“I didn’t mean to scare you,” I finally say.
She pauses, looking at me intently. “I don’t know if I can trust your word.”
I nod, then stumble out of the room, shutting the door behind me and leaving Adelina alone.
I rub a hand over my face, cursing myself. I’ve never gotten carried away like that. I truly didn’t mean her harm. I just wanted her to know that I’m the boss—and you don’t mess with the boss.
Now, my own wife is terrified of me and hates my fucking guts.
I walk back into the main meeting room to see Antonio now awake. “I heard I missed your wife,” he says, slurring his words.
“You did. She’s down there.Don’tmess with her,” I warn when I see the glee enter Antonio’s eyes. “I’ll fucking kill you if you do.”
He holds up his hands. “I won’t.” He stands up and stretches. “I’m off to bed now. Where’s Emma?” He looks around the room.
“She went in there,” one of the ladies tells him, pointing down the hallway.
“Well, I’m off to get sucked.” He stumbles.
I stop him from walking farther. “You know, I’m going to see Emma tonight. You just need to sleep now.”
He frowns. “But—”
“I’m the boss here, remember. What I say goes.” Someone needs to remember that because it seems everyone is forgetting that fact. “Now, go.” I push him in the opposite direction before walking down the hallway to find Emma.
When I open the door, she smiles like the cat that ate the canary. “You already got bored?” She’s lying on the bed with her legs spread open. I get a peek of her pussy through her panties.
I hate to admit it, but I get hard. I only wanted Adelina once I learned I was marrying her, but she’s repeatedly pushed me away. She’s even told me that she wants me to seek out physical pleasure elsewhere. And now she’s scared of me. All because I took things a little too far.
So, yeah, I feel turned on when I see Emma’s body, open and willing for me. I’m just giving Adelina what she wants—me far away from her.
Shutting the door behind me, I join Emma in the bed.
CHAPTER 9
Adelina
Istay awake, standing, unable to lie back on that bed. I don’t know what overcame Matteo. For a moment, I really thought he would take me against my will.
But he stopped. He pulled back. And he looked incredibly guilty.
I don’t care that he felt bad. He threw me onto the bed with a crazed look in his eye. I don’t think I can ever forgive or forget that. Just another way Matteo proves himself unworthy of me. A true, filthy biker.
My legs begin to tremble from standing so long, the tightness beginning to hurt.
