Alceu

I wasn’t lying when I said that we had plans. A reservation has been made at the best French restaurant in town. I’m supposed to be meeting with a governor or some such person. At the moment, I couldn’t care less who is waiting for me. I have only one purpose as I stride from the library.

Since the moment Giulia said yes to the amendment of our agreement, my cock hasn’t gone down. Having Giulia in my lap and going toe to toe with her father has done nothing to help that situation. But the mention of taking her from me? I want to mark her from the inside out so everyone knows she is mine. And she is mine.

Since our wedding reception where she threatened to shoot Salvador, I have known that what started as a farce was going to be more. She is the queen my kingdom has always needed. She treats everyone equally and with kindness. The staff loves her and the way she manages the household. She doesn’t expect to have everything handed to her and does things for herself.

The fact that I almost lost her is just another driving force behind me wanting to cement my claim. We haven’t even consummated our marriage, and it’s time that changes.

She is the perfect fit not just for me, but for my family and my empire. I have decided that she will rule by my side, my equal in every way. Now I just need to convince her of that.

In our bedroom, I set her on her feet before I close the door firmly. Turning back, I slam my lips down on hers, kissing her with a passion that she returns. Her hands are on my chest, and she starts quickly undoing the buttons of my blue dress shirt. Her palms against my skin send an electric charge shooting through me as she pushes my shirt off my shoulders and to the ground.

Our hands are all over each other, our motions rushed. Both of us know what we want. After walking her toward the bed, I push her down on the mattress. I don’t hesitate to drop to my knees as I push her dress over her hips. I want to worship her.
