“If we’re going to come clean tonight,” I tell him, taking the glass of wine from his hand, “then we should at least be honest.You could have kept me safe and protected by keeping me by your side.Not leaving me, not ignoring my calls, and certainly not keeping me prisoner in your fucking ivory tower while I had no idea if you were dead or alive.”
Massimo turns to his brothers.“You can both leave now.It seems I’m in need of time alone with my errant wife.”

Where there is a will there is a way, Sophia will find it, and she has proven that again today.
Clearly, the only way to keep her safe is to keep her by my side, protecting her myself until we can flush Barcelo out and put an end to this war of his for good because the thought of her running around in the night trying to find him herself is not something I can stand.
I crook my finger and draw her nearer.“Come here, kitten.”
The creamy expanse of her throat moves as she swallows through her emotion, but she does as I ask without fear.“What were the rules?”I ask, sitting on the couch and drawing her to stand in front of me.
She shakes her head, and those lovely dark eyes are steadfast in their belief.“You don’t get to ask me that,” she whispers.“I made that promise to you when you were taking care of me.When I knew that you wanted me and hadn’t just discarded me like I didn’t mean anything at all.”
A tear runs down her face and it takes everything I have not to pull her into my arms and kiss it away.“Your sister grows stronger each day, as does my mother.She was in a coma for some time.She’s just being released and will be brought to her house soon.But you’re wrong if you think that I left you because I didn’t want you.I left you because loving me makes you a target kitten, a very desirable target for any one of the many enemies of the Rosellis.Leaving you will keep you safe and I need you safe.I can’t bear to think of anything happening to you like what happened to my mom or your sister.”I lift her chin with the tip of my finger.“Can you understand that?”
Her eyes meet mine.“I can understand the sentiment, not the ability to actually do it.To leave me, not accept my calls.I wouldn’t be able to do it to you.”
I shouldn’t put all my cards on the table, but of course I do, because Sophia deserves to walk away from this unscathed any further, to know that she is loved and that I want to protect her from a life she never wanted to begin with.“I love you enough to let you go, kitten.”
She takes my face between both hands, looking deep into my eyes.“We’re here, we’re together, with no leads in sight.Give me tonight?”
The answer should be no, a hard fucking no.Call my soldiers to take her back to my city house to be with her sister, as far away from me as I can get her while keeping her safe and at bay from my enemies, but instead my hands slide down the indent of her waist and expanse of her curves before unbuttoning her jeans.“Slide them off, kitten.”
Sophia does not hesitate, wiggling out of her pants in the sexiest of ways, pulling at the bottoms of them with her painted toes until she is left in only a bra and t-shirt but otherwise bare.My eyes meet hers.“What did I say would happen if you broke the rules?”
Her eyes widen and she shifts on one foot contemplating the power exchange of the game.
My dark eyes don’t waiver.One of these days she will learn that I am in charge of her safety and that I have her best interest at heart even when she doesn’t like the way it’s handled.It may not be fair, but our life isn’t fair, it’s rough, it’s brutal and our enemies are fierce.We have to be stronger, tougher, and it is my job to keep her safe.“Tell me to punish you, kitten.”
She expels a deep breath.
I stroke a finger down her navel, over her mound, and barely touch her clit.Her eyes close and now she says my name on a breath.“Massimo.”
“Tell me to punish you.”
Sophia gives me a sexy little half smile.“Punish me?”she asks so sweetly that my cock turns to stone against the inseam of my dress pants.I have her bent over my lap in a swift move, positioning her lush ass right where I want it, caressing first one cheek and then the other before raining a slap on her cheek to warm her up.
She shifts away as the heat increases, but a leg over the back of her upper thighs keeps my kitten well positioned as I continue the warm up and then get down to the business of really heating her ass, making sure that tomorrow she’s going to remember exactly where I’ve been and that she’s supposed to stay safe and just who is in charge of making sure that she stays that way.
My kitten does so well, absorbing each spank of my hand, until I know even without her saying a word that she’s nearly reached her limit.My hand caresses her backside, soothing some of the ache, but not wanting to soothe everything at all.I want her to remember the consequence for what she’s done.Far better a memorable spanking as a deterrent in the future.Her arousal is intoxicating though, the smell drifting under my nose as my hand caresses her red warmed globes of flesh.“Spread your legs for me, kitten?”
Sophia does not need to be asked twice, her legs parting to allow me access, as my finger trails along the slick wetness that spanking her has caused.“You like my hand on your ass, kitten?”
She nods but knows the rules and I want to hear it.“Words, kitten.”Sophia mutters a small huff against my leg, and it makes me smile.“Yes, just not when it gets too hard.”
“Then you should try not to be so naughty, right kitten?”I don’t give her time to answer before sliding a finger into her tight little pussy.She purrs her desire as I lift her and carry her to our bed.Six long weeks since I’ve touched her, tasted her, and I know that in half a minute I’m going to have my cock buried deep inside of her.

The jangle of his belt as he unbuckles it makes my pussy wet.There’s no doubt that sound will trigger my desire for sex as long as I live.Even if it’s the last time that I hear it.
He smirks, watching me.The devilish bastard knows, and he doesn’t make me wait, both of us already on the edge after so long apart.He lifts my thighs, rubbing his cock along my wet slit before driving deep.He moans as he sinks to the very end of me, thrusting in and out, watching me with those deep dark eyes.“Take off your top.I want to see every inch of you, kitten.”
