I propped a shoulder against the wall, leaning back while I observed Marisol at my leisure. She stood at the open fridge, fussing over the food Iâd had delivered this morning. A bright smile lit up her soft features, making her golden skin almost incandescent.
I studied her in profile, indulging myself in a thorough perusal of her delicious body. As she bent down to inspect the food items on a lower shelf, the lightweight material of her cherry red dress draped over the lush curves of her perfect ass.
The memory of that soft flesh bouncing beneath my punitive hand drew a slightly twisted smile to my lips, and an echo of my lust stirred. Although we hadnât shared more than a kiss since that rough, savage scene in the woods yesterday afternoon, I felt fully sated in a way Iâd never known before.
Judging by the way my cock stiffened when she dipped lower, causing her cleavage to nearly spill over her bodice, I wasnât anywhere near sated when it came to craving her body. Even if I bent her over the counter and fucked her hard right now, I doubted Iâd be satiated.
But staking my claim over her yesterdayâutterly subjugating and marking herâhad calmed me. For weeks, Iâd desired her, but I hadnât allowed myself to touch her. The completely unfamiliar act of self-denial had chipped away at my sanity every day that I kept her as my protected hostage.
Fully unleashing myself on her had been the most intense sexual experience of my life, and I hadnât even fucked her.
If she turned to me right now with the barest hint of an invitation in her eyes, my cock would be rock hard for her in an instant.
But there was a different, stranger satisfaction thatâd settled deep in my chest since sheâd awakened from her nightmare at dawn. Sheâd shared pieces of her soul with me, placing herself in my hands and making herself completely vulnerable. Sheâd drifted back to sleep in my arms, peaceful and sweet.
After indulging in my morning coffee and a delicious homecooked breakfast, an unfamiliar languor had settled in my body. My lips stretched in a lazy smile as I listened to her exclaim over the food that Iâd provided for her. She didnât seem to mind my almost nonexistent communication skills, and I didnât feel the irritating obligation to offer more words than I actually wanted to say.
Nearly all of my human interactions involved either cartel politics or Stefanoâs insane parties, which were also cartel politics but with more bullshit small talk. I never invited guests to my home because I found socializing tedious, and when it came down to it, I didnât have much to say to people I didnât really give a fuck about. I definitely didnât care to hear about their mundane lives, and half-pretending to listen took all my mental energy.
But I didnât have to pretend with Marisol. I didnât have to try to behave in a way that didnât come naturally to me.
