Held tightly against the chest of my sleeping husband, I stared up at the ceiling, wide awake despite the late hour. Exhaustion seemed to settle into my very bones, but sleep eluded me as my mind raced. Nothing this man said or did made the least bit of sense to me, and I just couldnât reconcile his words and actions with my past experiences.
Men like my father and his goons were easy enough to manipulate. But Michael⦠he was a different breed altogether, and I couldnât seem to find my balance with him.
In the still quiet of the night, I could admit that part of the problem was how he made me feel. Logically, I should hate him. Heâd taken away my freedom and my family and forced me to marry him, locking me away in this gilded cage just waiting for him to decide when he had time for me.
Even as the thoughts crossed my mind, I recognized the falsehood in them. Michael DeCosta had simply been there when my father had decided to use me as a pawn in his negotiations. Iâd heard the whisperings of trouble brewing, though nobody really seemed to know who had started it. As much as my father had tried to keep me out of his business growing up, it was impossible to keep everything from me. The men still talked, and I still had ears.
So, while I wanted to claim Michael was keeping me as a prisoner, I was grudgingly forced to admit he was merely protecting me from a possible war. And if the man had a piece of ass on the side, then he was a fucking sex machine because my entire body ached from all of the positions he had contorted me in while heâd rammed his rock-hard cock into my pussy over the past two days.
Heâd given me a home when my own father had basically threatened to kick me out of the house, and he was, in his own infuriating way, ensuring my continued existence on this Earth. I was slowly running out of reasons to hate him.
He beats you.
Rolling my eyes at my own dramatics, I snorted quietly. There were men in our world who did far worse to their women than a few swats on the ass. Whatever else he may do, however else he might decide to punish me, I was absolutely certain Michael would never truly harm me. And, I was forced to admit, as painful as getting my ass whipped had been, there was no doubting Iâd deserved each and every lash.
There was also no denying the way my body responded to his discipline.
âWho the fuck am I?â I whispered into the darkness.
âYouâre my wife, Leonora DeCosta.â His voice, husky with the sleep he hadnât quite shed, rumbled in the darkness as he slid an arm across my stomach. âYouâre the most beautiful and infuriating woman Iâve ever met, and if you arenât tired enough to sleep Iâve obviously not done my job.
