That was all I needed. I was already going to come. After a few thrusts, I clawed at his back and exploded around his dick, coming like I never had before. It was so powerful I forgot to breathe. I forgot everything in the world. All I thought about was the unbridled passion between us.
When I was finished, he smiled down at me. “That didn’t take long.”
My arms hooked around his neck, and I locked my ankles behind his back. “I’m sure it won’t take long to do it again either.”
Chapter 16
Cane
When I got off the phone with the soil specialist, I called Crow.
“Yes?”
“Uh, hi. Bitchy today?”
“I can’t get Button in to see the doctor until tomorrow. Apparently, a hundred grand doesn’t mean shit to him.”
“Is she okay?” I blurted. “Why does she need to see a doctor?”
“Because she’s pregnant—idiot.”
“And that can’t wait another day? Idiot.”
“You know me, Cane. I’m paranoid about a lot of things.”
“Crow, there’s nothing to be paranoid about. She’s, like, a month along. Nothing significant could happen in that amount of time.”
“Until a doctor tells me everything is good, I’ll be thinking about it.”
“Then why didn’t you take her sooner?”
“In case you’ve forgotten, my ribs were broken, and I couldn’t walk.”
“She could have gone by herself.”
“I want to be there,” he snapped. “This is my kid. I want to be there for everything.”
I’d probably be the same way if I were in his shoes. “Then tomorrow isn’t far away. Just chill.”
“Why are you calling?” he blurted.
“I heard back from the soil specialist. He said the nitrogen is perfect, and the soil contains the perfect moisture levels. It’s packed with other minerals too. So I’m going to close this deal unless you have a problem with it.”
“What happened with Adelina?”
I sat back against my chair in my office. “What does she have to do with this?”
“When I tell Pearl I talked to you, she’s gonna ask me. I need this information so I have something to relay back to her. What happened?”
“She and I are fine. Let’s move on.”
“No, I need more than that. Are you letting the woman go?”
I didn’t want her to leave, but it wasn’t right for me to make her stay. Maybe when she returned home, she would understand she’d outgrown the place. She wasn’t the same person, so the place would never feel like home again. “Yes.”
“Good. I’m glad you stopped being a dictator.”
“Again, you’re one to talk.”
“Not the same thing.”
“I disagree,” I said. “So, are we moving forward on this property? I just need to know you’re on board. I’ll head down and take care of everything since I know you’re busy.”
“I think we should move forward.”
“Awesome. I’ll let you know how it goes.” I hung up then left the office.
Adelina was in the living room reading. She watched me grab my keys and wallet from the table. “Are you leaving?”
“Yeah. Need to take care of business.”
“When will you be back?”
I shoved my phone into my pocket. “A few hours. I’m buying that piece of land Crow and I talked about.”
“Oh…can I come along?”
I grinned. “Why? Because you’ll miss me?”
She smiled. “Would you judge me if I said yes?”
“No judgments, Bellissima.”

We had dinner on the terrace then retired to my bedroom on the top floor. The master was big with its own living room, bedroom, and an enormous bathroom. It was too big for two people. And it was far too big for one person.
We got into bed, and once our bodies were naked between the sheets, I was in between her legs. I was on top because I didn’t want her any other way. I loved watching her lips tremble when I touched her in just the perfect way. I loved feeling how wet she was as I ground against her. She had the most perfect tits, and I loved watching them shake as I thrust.
I wasn’t in the mood to fuck. Just to make love.
Making her come was the easiest thing in the world. She was receptive, sexual, and immensely attracted to me. She didn’t think about the horrible things Tristan and his men did to her. When I was buried inside her, she only thought about me.
And she knew I would never hurt her.
I came inside her before I rolled off her, suddenly feeling depressed once we were done. My time with her was limited. Any day now, she would ask me to buy her a one-way ticket back home. My bed would be empty, and within a few weeks, her smell would disappear from my home.
And I would be alone.
I’d pick up women in Florence to fight the loneliness.
I’d think of Adelina as I fucked them.
And once enough time passed and I finally stopped thinking about Adelina, maybe I would try to find someone that I could share my life with. Being with Adelina made me realize that was exactly what I wanted—if I found the right person.
