Chapter Fifteen

Mia

There’s no chance I can get off this rollercoaster anytime soon. Because of my drastically changed circumstances, that’s a given. The emotional part is another story.

It’s reassuring to know that Mom and Dad, and Lucy, will be safe. My extended family, like Camilla, will be fine too. They have their own staff to take care of things.

The moment could be almost peaceful, but Alessandra tempting me with sweets and insinuations quickly takes any peace I could have here.

And I’m not opposed…

“Was painting a metaphor for something?” I wonder when we are in her bedroom, and her hands are all over me, my skirt hiked up to my waist. It doesn’t really matter. Want is taking over every corner of my mind, every fiber of my body. Forget about my romantic dreams, I’ll take this as long as I can get it.

For Alessandra, it’s different, I assume. To her, establishing equilibrium means to keep power. It’s not entirely equal, but I can’t worry about that now.

I moan as her fingers slip past the waistband of my panties, knowing they will meet warm wetness. I can’t pretend, and I won’t try.

Alessandra doesn’t linger, she turns me around and pushes me up against the wall. I’ll start working soon, my family and friends are safe, who cares that our wedding is mostly a performance?

My questions dissolve into nothing when she pulls down my panties after giving the black lace an appreciating brush with her fingertips. I’m trembling. Speaking of…performance. She leans in, her hands firm on my thighs, and I barely have the chance to take a breath before her mouth is on me.

It’s sort of spectacular how she takes control that way, and perhaps I knew it from the moment I saw her in the bar, and that is why I couldn’t stop thinking about her.

That is why, despite this impossible situation, I allow myself to let go, and her, to take everything she wants.

It’s messy, and quick, and I bite my lip in a failed effort to keep from making rather undignified sounds.

Aside from my panties pooled at my ankles, I’m still fully dressed.

Alessandra, however, is the opposite of a mess. She gets to her feet, a small content smile on her face as she straightens her clothes and pushes a strand of hair that escaped her neat bun, behind her ear.

“It’s a good thing you had that espresso,” she says, matter-of-factly.

We still haven’t addressed painting. My curiosity can wait, other things can’t.

***

I must have fallen asleep—and how could I not drift off, warm and relaxed in her embrace? She spooned me, holding on before I could even begin to talk about reciprocating, and I couldn’t resist…but now she’s gently shaking me awake, handing me a silky robe.

“Come with me,” she says. Her tone is warm and sated, even though we haven’t gotten to that part yet. In the short time since we’ve taken that step, I have learned that knowing what she does to me, is giving her satisfaction. I want to give her more, though the time of night is curious.
