He flipped me onto my back in one fluid motion and settled between my legs as I stared up at him, my heartbeat roaring in my ears as he pushed my nightie up. My panties landed on the floor.
He dragged his finger up my center. “In here. This is where I want to hide.” He shoved his pants down and pressed his cock to my damp heat. “I want to be a better man for you, but I’m not good. You know I’m not.”
“We don’t have to do this right now. We can wait a year or two—”
“No.” He thrust into me, his hips meeting mine as I cried out against his sudden intrusion.
God, if he finds out I’ve been taking those damn pills, he’ll probably completely lose his mind. Thank God I’d stashed them in my purse and had been able to sneak them while we’ve been here at the safe house. I’d be losing my own damn mind if I’d missed nearly a week’s worth of birth control.
“Ah, Dom-Dominic—”
“Shh. Please, mia regina. I need this. I need my son because I need to keep you. I’ll love you both so fucking hard you won’t regret it. I swear it.” He slammed into me again. Again. And again.
“That night with my father broke me. The thought of him touching you…of putting his baby in there. Hellno. Mine. Fucking mine. I need this. Fuck.” He breathed out, thrusting in and out of me.
I reached for him, wanting to connect with him, but he pushed my hands over my head and held them there as he fucked me, his hips snapping forward in a delicious rhythm.
“Spread wider for me,” he rasped. “I want you to give yourself to me. Take my cock, wasp.”
I parted my legs farther for him. Something unhinged in my brain. His cock seemed to have that effect on me. He slammed into me, groaning, his breathing coming in soft gasps.
My impending release crept through me, the heat building with each precise piston of his cock inside me.
My body quivered.
“Yes, mia regina. Come for me. Give it to me, my good girl.”
I cried out, clenching around his length as he nipped at my nipple. He released it as I shook beneath him. His hips moved faster until he came with a groan, filling me with his release.
He balanced over me, his body glistening with a sheen of sweat, trembling.
“I love you,” he said thickly. “I’m not asking for your forgiveness. I can’t ask for it when I know this is who I am and it’s what I want. Just know I fucking love you unlike anything else in this world. Sei mia. You are mine.”
Denying him what he wanted wouldn’t do a damn thing for me. Besides a part of me really fucking liked being his in all the ways he owned me. He wanted my submission. My compliance.
“You aren’t going to save me by getting me pregnant, Dominic,” I said softly, stroking his cheek with my fingers.
His green eyes searched mine. “But if they take you from me, then I’ll at least still have a piece of you.”
“They aren’t going to take me from you.”
He swallowed. “I’ll kill them all and then fuck you in their blood. Our kingdom, wasp. Mia regina. No one will be brave enough to try once I’m done. And you’ll have my baby. My savage little monster. Just like his daddy,” his voice cracked. “But better because part of him will be you. The world needs him. I’ll give him to the world. A gift after all my sins.”
It was a beautiful sentiment. Children should make the world better.
He eased out of me, his fingers finding my pussy and pushing his release back into me. “I’ll send the world a gift from us. For fucking with us. He’ll be what our world needs. He will make my wrongs right.”
The way he stared at me as he said the words made my breath catch. He was being serious.
“I don’t get a choice in this?” I asked.
His gaze flitted over me. “No.”
He didn’t extend more explanation. He simply moved off me. I sat up quickly, but he pushed me gently to my back.
“I need to clean myself,” I said.
He shook his head and leaned down to give me a tender kiss. “No. I want my come in you all night.”
He got up and went into the bathroom for a few minutes before returning to me. Lifting the blankets, he crawled in beside me and dragged me into his arms.
“I know this doesn’t make you happy,” he said softly into the darkness. “But it’s all I can think about. I need this. I’m not going to stop. You’re going to have my baby.”
“You’ll force me?” I whispered.
“I don’t want to have to, but if I must, I will. I will fuck you every moment of every day until it happens.”
“What about Fallon and Vincent? A-and Levin if he comes back? What if one of them gets me pregnant?”
He bit my shoulder, making me cry out.
“I won’t like it. But the baby will be mine just like it would be theirs. I protect mine. I just plan on getting there first. Don’t underestimate me, wasp.”
I swallowed and breathed out. There was no winning with this man. I’d just have to make sure to keep taking my pills and hope he didn’t find out. I needed a little more time before I gave into him.
“I’m not ready to be a mom, Dominic. I haven’t finished high school. And I’d like to go to college maybe,” I whispered, caressing his cheek with my fingers. “Plus, I still don’t know what happened to my dad. And let’s not forget that people want me dead. What if someone hurt me while I was pregnant, and it made me lose the baby? I’d be devastated, and so would you.”
He swallowed hard and frowned.
“I’m just not ready yet. Give me time.”
“No,” was all he said before he went silent.
We lay in the darkness until his breathing became deep and even, his hold tight on me.
I couldn’t escape him even if I wanted to. And I didn’t want to.
And he fucking knew it.
