“You ain’t seen nothing yet.” She smirks.
“Alright, put the claws away and let’s head upstairs. Hearing you stake your claim on me made me rock hard, babe, and I need inside that pussy like pronto! Plus, I’m sure your pussy is all needy and leaking too,” I say, grinning at her. We’re both done eating now, so I stand up and take her hand in mine, pulling her gently up from the chair so we can head up to our room for the night.
I had every intention of fucking her tonight when we got upstairs, but when I see her wince a bit, I decide to change tactics and take care of her instead because she deserves some pampering.
CHAPTER 20
ARIA
“I’m perfectly capable of walking up and down the stairs, you know? I’m not going to fall over,” I say to Enzo. He’s standing behind me, one hand on my arm and the other on the small of my back as he leads me up the stairs.
“I know you’re capable of doing things on your own,Tesoro, but you don’t have to. You’re my woman now, and I love taking care of you. I want to be able to help you with the little things,” he tells me, and I’m not going to admit that was swoon-worthy.Swoons. “We’ve got precious cargo in there, and I want to make sure things are easy on you from here on out. Remember, I didn’t get to do anything for you since you became pregnant, so I’m going to do them all now.”
“Wow. You really can get more annoying,” I joke, and he just rolls his eyes at me. Though I’m secretly glad he’s showing me that he cares and wants this baby as much as I do.
I mean, when he found out, he could have said he didn’t want the baby or me, for that matter, but he’s been all in since he basically kidnapped me from that convent.
“Complain all you want, but I know you secretly love it.”
“Well, I see your big ego didn’t suffer at all while I was away.”
“No. But, my big cock definitely suffered the most since it didn’t have your tight-as-fuck pussy wrapped around it,” he tells me with a smirk.
“And modest too. What a combo!” I say, sarcastically.
“You know it, baby. I’m a catch.”
“Uh-huh.”
I step into the bedroom, and the city lights filter in, casting a soft glow around the space, along with the few lit candles. I still can’t get over all the amazing views throughout the penthouse.
He shuts the door behind us, gently pushing me back against it. One of his hands is above my head, while the other grasps my hips, my huge, rounded stomach touching him.
He rests his forehead against mine, eyes closed as he takes in a deep breath before letting it out like he’s letting go of all the stress.
“Are you okay?” I whisper into the quiet room. He opens his eyes and stares into mine, neither one of us moving. The air between us suddenly feels more charged than it was a second ago.
His gaze drops down to my lips, and the faintest smile touches the corner of his mouth. “I’m more than okay. Now that you’re here, where you belong.”
He straightens up, moving his hand from my hip and reaching up slowly until his fingers are curling around the side of my neck. His tattooed hand holds me there, anchoring me to the spot.
“You are so fucking beautiful,” he tells me, his thumb brushing beneath my jaw, tilting my face up toward his. His lips descend on mine, the kiss slow at first, then deliberate as his mouth presses into mine like a claiming.
He’s not asking for this kiss, he’s taking it. A moan manages to slip out of me as I curl my fingers into the front of his shirt, deepening the kiss some more.
I pull away to gasp in some air, and he uses his thumb to trace my lower lip before leaning in to steal some smaller and softer kisses.
“Mine,” he murmurs, his tone full of possession.
“Yours,” I agree with him, saying the words I’ve never uttered to anyone else. But right now, and maybe forever, I don’t want to be anything but his.
A devilish smile crosses his face at my words, and I can’t help the cheesy smile that crosses mine in response.
“You know,” he murmurs, voice low. “I could get used to this. You being mine, that is.”
“Well, at this point, you don’t have a choice. One, I’m carrying your child, and two, you literally kidnapped me from that convent.”
“Technically, it wasn’t kidnapping. I just took you and brought you home.”
